Making life more epic by listening to music

Last weekend while I was doing some housework  I wanted to change things up a bit so I decided to listen to the 2018`s soundtrack for God of war. The album was composed by Bear McCreary. 

The album made my normal day activities feel like an epic adventure. Almost every song has really deep feeling instruments and the songs had a great variability in them. Some of them were grand viking style songs and some were more like lullabies. Even the songs that were more relaxed and laid back had some little elements that made me relaxed but left me waiting if in the middle of the score the tone would change drastically to a more epic one. 

The songs on this album are made to accompany a game. And in my opinion the songs have a really nordic vibe in them like they probably are trying to bring to the listeners mind because the game is about nordic mythology.  I have never played the game but i have heard some facts about the game and my friend said that it was a really amazing album to listen to so i gave it a listen.

I listen to lots of soundtracks as background music during the day so i have some experience with soundtracks.  In my opinion the album was a low nine out of ten. It brought up the epicness in doing the little things in life but it could get a little bit overpowering at times.

Energetic music from young boy

Kuva
I’m reviewing Robin Packalens first record. Robin is Finnish pop-artist. He started making music in the year 2012 when he was only 13 years old. He blew up pretty soon and got a lot of attention especially from young girls. His artist name was just Robin. He made five albums and in the year 2017 he went for a break from music. He made a comeback in the year 2019 singing his new song “I’ll Be With You” in Emma-gaala. Before the break he sang in finnish but nowadays he sings in english and is trying to get international popularity. He also changed his artist name to Robin Packalen. I chose to review this record because I like it a lot and it has been very important to me because I listened to it almost every day when I was 8-9 years old. I liked and I still like the songs because they are super energetic and the lyrics are kind of relatable. Songs are most likely about normal teenagers' lives, friends and crushing for example. Almost every song has a very good vibe and they're ea...

Sempiternal - screams for help

Kuva
✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰ The album Sempiternal (published in 2013)  is british rock band Bring Me the Horizon’s fourth album. Such as the previous albums, this one is very typical of the band’s style - the metalcore and post-hardcore genre keeps going just like it has done before. But unlike it’s ancestors, Sempiternal has few lighter and more emotional songs, such as the final track called “ Deathbeds ”, which is probably one of my favourite tracks on this album. It’s a great contrast to the band’s original style of making music and gives such an emotional and fragile ending to the whole album. According to Geniuslyrics (https://genius.com/ ) the whole album got it’s main themes from the band’s lead singer's Oliver Sykes's mental health problems and abuse of drugs and alcohol. For example the album's opening track, called “ Can You Feel the Heart '' and the tenth track “ Seen It All before ” are pretty obvious about their subjects. The lyrics are about asking forgiveness and the ...

There’s a ‘Fine Line’ Between Love and Hate

Kuva
Hi everyone! Today I’m going to write a record review of Harry Styles’ second solo album called “Fine Line”.  Harry Edward Styles is a British singer and songwriter. His musical career began back in 2010 when he participated in a British music competition The X Factor. He used to be a part of a boyband One Direction until 2015 when the members decided to focus on their solo careers. Styles released his sophomore album “Fine Line”, a collection of 12 tracks and a mixture of genres such as pop and rock on 13th December 2019. It holds beautiful and emotional tracks not forgetting the compelling and upbeat ones.   It seems to me that the album is mainly about relationships and emotions. In my experience “Fine Line” which has the same name as the album itself, “Lights Up”, “Golden” and “To Be So Lonely” are the finest songs on the album. The horns at the end of the song “Fine Line” give me chills every single time I listen to it even though I have listened to it hundreds of ti...
