One of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite movies as a kid.
I am writing about a mentally insane character, so I guess this helps? I don't know. To be honest, this has very little to do with my novel writing... I just think it's funny and worth a share. Enjoy. ;)
No, this is not the same as yesterday's soundtrack. That was the Pacific Rim Main Theme, this is Go Big or Go Extinct, the music that plays when the Jaeger Gipsy Danger comes to Striker Eureka's rescue after Cherno Alpha and Crimson Typhoon have been destroyed. The Leatherback kaiju didn't stand a chance...
ANYWAY. It really gets me revved up for writing, and that's exactly what I needed today, as I was EXHAUSTED earlier. Not anymore! :3
Yeah, yeah, I've posted it before... but only because I love it so darn much!
This is my go-to soundtrack. Whether I'm doing dishes, cleaning the house, or doing NaNoWriMo, this soundtrack keeps me motivated ad energized. I've said before that it's an elixir. It is. It totally pumps me every time I hear it! And that's exactly what I want, going into Camp NaNoWriMo. :)
Camp NaNoWriMo starts tomorrow! As if the month wasn't crazy enough, I have resolved to post one piece of music every day for the entire month!
Here's how it works. I listen to music whenever I write. Sometimes I listen to different music depending on what or how I'm writing, because it helps set the mood or it helps keep me going. So each day I will be posting a different piece of music that I listened to during that day's writing, with a brief explanation of why I was listening to it and how it helped me write, etc.
And now, a challenge for you: Join me! Post one piece of music per day for the entire month of April! If you have a blog, do it there (just remember to link us to it)! If not, share in the comments! Not doing NaNo? No problem! You can join in anyway, only instead of explaining how or why your music helps you through your writing process, you can explain how it helps you through your day (or whatever)!
Brace yourselves... this is going to be epic! See you tomorrow!
I came across it during a time when my life was really starting to pick up, and it helped me control my nervousness during my first debate tournament, so that might be part of why I like it so much.
You can sense action, power, direction, confidence, purpose, honor, anticipation, tension, beauty... everything I like in my music. Everything.
I really don't know what else to say. I just love this so much. And sometimes I feel so alone in liking it. As if I'm the only one of my friends who enjoys it. Which is a depressing feeling, not some expression of hipster pride. I wish my friends liked this as much as I do.
Aside from the repetition at the ending, this is, in my opinion, perfect. It's perfect! I love it! It's my favorite! There's nothing else I can say! Listen to it, all the way through. Don't stop it after the first few notes, just because it seems like it's "not your cup of tea." Do yourself a favor and listen through it to the very end. Do it!
