Two pieces of music square off against each other! Only one can be the winner! You, dear readers, decide the outcome!
In the red corner, hailing from ancient Greece, comes Nitrome's Double Edged theme!
RIP, headphone users!
For those of you who have never played it, Double Edged has a really cool two-player mode that is GREAT for playing with a little sibling... Anyway...
In the blue corner, with an impressive track record for being featured in flash games, we have Waterflame's Glorious Morning, CastleStorm edition!
Both game soundtracks are unique and catchy in their own ways, but only one can be the winner! Which one is your favorite? Cast you votes in the comments!
For those of you new here, the Monday Music Challenge is simple: I mention 4 categories related to a certain theme, and we each post a piece of music for each category. Today's theme is playlists, and here are the categories:
1: The song from the very middle of your largest playlist
2: The song from the very middle of your shortest playlist
3: Your least favorite song from your favorite playlist
4: Your favorite song from your least favorite playlist
5: Bonus category! Whatever you want. The longest song from your longest playlist, The shortest song from your shortest playlist; it can be anything! Just make sure you include the name of your playlist and what makes that piece of music special in that playlist. Now, if I may make a suggestion... post the most embarrassing song from your most embarrassing playlist. >:)
Hint: pick all your entries from whatever device you own that has the most playlists. iPod, smartphone, tablet, mp3 player, computer, whatever; as long as you take all your entries from the same device. If you're using a computer, it's fine to substitute folders for playlists. If you're going to use youtube playlists, take all of your entries from your youtube playlists. If you have even-numbered playlists or the first two entries, then pick whichever of the two middle songs you want!
Here are mine!
1: The song from the very middle of my largest playlist: Thrice Welcome, from my Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug Playlist.
I had actually never listened to this before, but had simply downloaded it with the rest of the OST. This challenge forced me to listen to it, and it's actually quote good. It's obviously from one of the Laketown scenes. I forgot how much I liked the Laketown theme.
2: The song from the very middle of my shortest playlist: "Happy Gru" from my Despicable Me playlist.
It's extremely short, but very sweet, and brings back hilarious memories from the movie. :) I love the whistling, though the ending is kind of abrupt for my tastes.
3: My least favorite song from my favorite playlist: "Jaeger Tech" from my Pacific Rim playlist.
I don't necessarily dislike this song, it's just... my least favorite. It's kind of obnoxious at the beginning, one has to admit. But it redeems itself later on, no question.
4: My favorite song form my least favorite playlist: Rising Legend, from my random "Sci-fi" playlist.
This was basically the theme song for the game Raze 2. It's epic, and lives up to its name. I love the pot-clanging sounds that start around 3:20. :D
5: Bonus! "Star Trek" from my "Star Trek" Playlist.
It's the second-to-last song in my second-to-last playlist, and has the same name as its playlist. It's also pretty cool, despite being so short. The harp at the beginning is a beautiful touch, and the ending is very ominous, giving a sense of impending doom.
Well, digging through playlists was fun for me, I hope it proves just as fun if not more so for you! Post your vids in the comments!
WOW! This'l is an AMAZING Christian rapper... still not as good as Shai Linne, but still awesome.
But this song? This song right here? It's my new anthem. My theme. I ain't turnin' back. I just got back from the Cincinnati homeschool convention, where I attended talks by Alex McFarland, Scott Klusendorf, and Ben Carson. And I am on fire and ready to do the Lord' Work however I can.
I couldn't find any accurate lyrics anywhere online (all of them had mistakes in them) so I won't post all the lyrics. But there are a few lines that I wanted to focus on:
"I'm through playing games; you can see it in my eyes!"
"Runnin' the same race! We on the same track! For the same God who resurrected His Son!Reflect on what He's done! Ain't no backwards to run!"
"...and I found my purpose. Now my life's a sacrifice, fam I'm livin' worship!"
A burning passion swells within my chest when I listen to this. I'm through playing games. It's time to fight. I ain't turnin' back!
Last time I posted a song about "True love and commitment" it was as a joke... But this time it's more serious. I really do like this song. I think it's good.
"I wrote the song backstage one night in 1956 in Gladewater, Texas. I was newly married at the time, and I suppose I was laying out my pledge of devotion." ~Johnny Cash
Lyrics:
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine.
I keep my eyes wide open all the time.
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds.
Because you're mine, I walk the line.
I find it very, very easy to be true.
I find myself alone when each day is through.
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you.
Because you're mine, I walk the line.
As sure as night is dark and day is light.
I keep you on my mind both day and night.
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine, I walk the line.
You've got a way to keep me on your side.
You give me cause for love that I can't hide.
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide.
Because you're mine, I walk the line.
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine.
I keep my eyes wide open all the time.
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds.
Because you're mine, I walk the line.
