Timline: Age of Ancient Empires

There is a homeschool thingumy called classical Conversations, and my family is a part of it. I don't know much about it, since I'm not involved (due to having graduated), but I do know that it involves a LOT of singing to memorize things. My little siblings constantly play the songs around the house, and as  result, they get stuck in my head. The first several minutes of the "timeline" song (Age of Ancient Empires, not the Medieval one or any of the others) is the one that's really stuck in my head. My little sister sings it all around the house.

The first minute or so is kind of weak, but it gets a lot better, to the point where you can't help but sing along with it ("Israel falls to Assyria, Assyria falls to Babylon!), and find yourself repeating the lyrics throughout the day. Myceneaens!

Charlotte Church: Habanera (fixed)

I had somehow posted this without the video. It's fixed now. :P

 

Charlotte church is very talented, and very pretty... not sure which of those is more important to me. ;) JK. She was 15 years ago, not so much today. :P

In any case, her version of Habanera from Carmen was the first version of Habanera that I've actually been able to enjoy, mainly because I HATE Habanera, because I've heard it in English and it grosses me out. But this version? It's AMAZING. The beat, combied with Charlotte Church's unmatched voice, makes it a pleasure to listen to.

Okay, so I might have lied... there is one other version of Habanera that I like. Though, heh heh, it doesn't really count...
