My Favorite Songs from Soundtracks- Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles Future Soundscapes I

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

While working on posts for this blog, I rediscovered my love for certain songs from movie, TV show, and other soundtracks. Listening to them brings me joy, so in the spirit of sharing my love of music, I decided to write a series of posts sharing my favorite songs from certain soundtracks and why I love them so much. I hope to write posts about whole entire soundtracks, but I’m unable to do that right now. So, for now, I’ll share my favorite songs from certain soundtracks.

The first soundtrack I wanted to share the songs from is Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles. It is an anime about a princess named Tsubasa who looses her memories. She and her best friend from childhood, Syaoran, must travel through space and time to find these memories, which are manifested in a feather with special powers. Along the way, they meet and join forces with Fai D. Flourite and Kurogane, who help them find feathers. In addition to them, they also encounter other characters from previous and then current stories by the manga artist group Clamp, who created Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles.

Although the story is very complicated (Think of the Marvel Cinematic Universe crossovers and intertwined story lines except for anime and manga), there is one thing that non anime fans and anyone uninterested in watching the story will enjoy: The soundtrack.

There are multiple soundtracks uses in the anime series, but the one I wanted to talk about in this post is called Future Soundscapes I. Future Soundscapes I is written by Yuki Kajiura, who wrote both the music and lyrics to the songs on the album, except for the songs Blaze and Loop. The album contains the music used in the first season of the anime. Included on the album are the songs Blaze and Loop, which were the opening song and ending song respectively. You can read more about the soundtracks for Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles on Wikipedia here and the soundtrack for season 1 here.

5 Singers I Used to Love as a Child and Still Love as an Adult

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Recently, I started to binge listen to music I used to like when I was a child. Some of the music I like but realized I missed the real meaning of the lyrics because of my youth. Other music I usually listen to regularly whenever I feel like I need to hear it again. This made me realize I had favorite artists I used to love when I was little and still love as an adult. Although I have many more artists I love as a child and as an adult, I’m listening to five singers a lot lately. Continue reading “5 Singers I Used to Love as a Child and Still Love as an Adult” →

Favorite Music Hits from the Year 2000 (Country Music Only)

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Back in the year 2000, I used to listen to pop and top 30 music all the time, but I also listed to an equal amount of country music. Today, I don’t listen to country music nearly as much because the music style has changed so much I really don’t like it at all. Although there are some country songs that are new and enjoy listening to, for the most part I listen to the “oldies” from the 2000’s and any decade prior to the year 2013. Because of this, I listen to more songs I loved in the year 2000 than pop music.

And so, without further delay, here is a list of all the country hits I used to like in 2000.

  • It’s a Great Day to Be Alive- Travis Tritt
  • Prayin’ for Daylight- Rascal Flatts
  • There is no Arizona- Jamie O’Neal
  • Kiss This- Aaron Tippin
  • Breath- Faith Hill
  • What About Now- Lonestar
  • How Do You Like Me Now?!- Toby Keith
  • I Hope You Dance- Lee Ann Womack

 

Well, that’s all for now! Thank you for reading!

Favorite Music Hits from the Year 2000 (Pop/Rock/Ect. Music Only)

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It’s the last few days of 2020 and I’m lamenting about all the posts I wanted to write this year. One of the post topics I wanted to write about is reminiscing about the year 2000. I didn’t end up writing any of the posts because I felt the events of this year, especially the pandemic, made reminiscing about my good old days was in poor taste. So, I held back.

Now it’s the last week of 2020 and I feel like I missed my golden opportunity to talk about the year 2000. Despite this, I know I can take all my post ideas and topics and rewrite them into a future post. All I need to do is write those posts. Although I’m planning on saving all my post ideas for later, I still wanted to talk about something nostalgic from the year 2000.

Back in 2000, listening to music was one of my favorite hobbies. Ironically, during the day at home orders, I began to listen to all the music I could find that I used to enjoy. Even though it’s been years since I listen to the music, I wanted to listen to it, mostly because it was something I would listen to when I was stressed or worried, much like I was this year. Although I enjoyed many songs from the year 2000, I wanted to share my favorites from the year 2000 that I still love to this day…

  • (You Drive Me) Crazy- Britney Spears
  • I Try- Macy Gray
  • Breathless- The Corrs
  • I Need to Know- Marc Anthony
  • Shape of My Heart- Backstreet Boys
  • No More (Baby I’ma Do Right)- 3LW
  • Gotta Tell You- Samantha Mamba
  • I Knew I Loved You- Savage Garden
  • With Wide Open Arms- Creed
  • He Love U Not- Dream
  • It’s My Life- Bon Jovi

 

Well, that’s all for now! Thank you for reading!

Current Favorite EDM Throwback Songs- April 2020

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

Being stuck at home during quarantine gave me a lot of time to think and reflect about a lot of things I used to do. One of the things I used to do a lot of in my younger years was listen to EDM or electronic dance music. I was never a raver, but listening to the music in the background when I used to work on my college papers. While I worked over the past month, I became tired of listening to the music I normally played while I worked and started to search for something else to listen to. That search lead me down a rabbit hole of old EDM music I used to play and listen to avidly. So here is a list of some of my most played/listened to EDM songs in the past month.
