I revel in nostalgia and most of my favorite songs are linked to a memory. Pink Floyd is such a timeless classic and it also takes me back to my childhood, sitting in my dad’s car listening to his tapes (slowly killing the battery) and imagining I’m on some great adventure. Even though I didn’t understand any of the songs I absolutely loved the energy 🤘   Another very recent example I rediscovered is "Catch" by Kosheen. It reminds me of the time my younger sister was born. The little wobbly creature - all grown up now.    spotify:track:3jfh72x6NytXn7SkkLD2T2:small ... View more

Nicholas Britell has a similar style, he also writes scores that sound dark and give you the chills:   spotify:artist:18oYqNtcLUHrqO7LfX7qni ... View more

Very good question @Luan and not easy to answer at all, but I like to embrace the challenge 🙂   Soundtracks play a huge role in my music taste, that’s why I decided on Lumière from the game Expedition 33 which I’m currently obsessed with.   spotify:track:1A1XuDIYZxSKrQ6mzkWwAT   The song is lyrical and sad with classical elements which are also features I enjoy. And while it doesn’t capture everything I like in music, I’d still say it’s the one song that defines me the most.   In general I choose songs because of the memories they invoke in me and not their musical composition and it’s actually difficult for me to name the genre of a song. ...

For me it’s Be Calm by fun. Ended up in my queue a couple months ago and I keep listening to it over and over, because I’m sure I’ve heard the intro melody somewhere but just can’t remember. I feel like I just have to hear it one more time and it will come to me. https://open.spotify.com/track/0SHPEXmOSJL4Og3aJluoKd?si=9ea2148c5380449b   All that aside, it’s also a very catchy tune. Absolutely love it 💚 ... View more

Hey @Ximzend,   I never went for more than one day but we used to go almost every year and I don’t even remember how many times it has been for me 😁 Always grabbing a park map on my way out as a souvenir. It’s also fun to compare with the old ones (which sadly I couldn’t find after I moved) and keep track of how the park developed over the years.   Can’t think of any particular tips, only that you should definitely get the app as that will save you some time waiting in line. Usually, we just circle the big coasters and a few of the more thrilling small rides like the swing boat and the coffee cups.   I’ve been to a few theme parks in the area such as Holiday Park (Haßloch) and Tripsdrill (Cleebronn) as well as abroad to Disneyland in Paris and Pleasure Beach in Blackpool but Europa Park is by far my most favourite theme park ❤️   Maybe I'll see you there next year 😎 ...

Welcome @Ximzend! I'm also a big fan of theme parks 🎢 I recommend checking out Europa-Park, if you haven't already. ... View more

Lovely collection @Asteroid_Alan! Even more so, since the cat on the cover looks just like one of mine 😻   Here's a fresh track that I think might fit in well: spotify:track:6yWjttRbarTFqMqPX267bO And some more daydreaming: spotify:track:03KKOOaiT06KVqRpw5VvBF ... View more

Hey @fred2005,   Not sure if it fits the genre but one song that comes to mind immediately is "And You My Love" by Chris Rea. It's a beautiful slow ballad and I absolutely love the guitar sound in it (although I don't think it's acoustic): spotify:track:7iJmWC3h8tJOCK4OzPFZ2c   Another one I can think of is "In Bad Dreams" by Crippled Black Phoenix:  spotify:track:6FvEIPRaDHgrniwPF9s1MH   I also recommend checking out the Progressive Rock Mix for more recommendations - if you haven't already: spotify:playlist:37i9dQZF1EIdazrA5xcjhw ...

Welcome to the Community @Tyrantguy!   I’m not really familiar with dnd, but I do love soundtracks and can contribute some of my favorites.   I see you already have Final Fantasy in the mix, in that case I recommend adding Kingdom Hearts, NieR and Valkyrie Profile which have a similar type of soundtrack: spotify:album:59xa0duBH2doywRKohAqIY spotify:album:5EvfMZYvdWB2XPZT0IvcyI spotify:album:3EPmuXzG4RVUGMOo3b3RRU Something quite different but just as beautiful is the Atomic Heart OST - the second album is mostly instrumentals and you might find a track or two that fits your playlist (Requiem for a Bot is my favorite): spotify:album:5j7ybHPuOAFZ6ZlBxqXd1B spotify:track:0mdN1gNqEEn2Do9358FzHI It’s also worth checking out @Joan’s blog post here for more amazing video game soundtracks. ...

That’s a very interesting topic. I thought I had a few songs to contribute, but after double-checking it turned out most of them aren’t made-up just died-out.   The only ones I was left with is the Hymn of the Fayth from Final Fantasy X, which is sung in the made-up Al Bhed language that works like a cipher: English E P S T I W K N U V G C L R Y B X H M D O F Z Q A J Al Bhed A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z spotify:track:0aSV6lD1MoTtncciotsdaB   And the Minion’s language (if that counts) 😅: spotify:track:45WZ2N9hK3b7KhOECCUGkh ...

I really love this edition @Joan!   Gorillaz is one of my all time favorite bands 💜 but I never considered them fictional, just musicians who prefer to stay incognito.    There’s also the blue alien pop band in Daft Punk’s Interstella 5555.   And growing up watching a lot of anime, I can actually name some of those too. One of the very first animes I watched as a child was Rock 'n' Roll Kids which was about a band called Bee Hive: spotify:track:25hjCromsoAE2VMhJdOxR3   Then of course there is Sailor Moon and the Three Lights: spotify:track:11KuM12cQEHpgf8lKGSf7w   Only ever read the NANA manga, so I’ve never heard any of the songs but the bands felt very much alive anyway and I was wishing them success and fame 😁 spotify:album:09TWKejidEhOAcb70umIJS   spotify:album:1Q6s8iihr0dAfwwgJpXsij ...

There are too many movies to choose from 🤔, so I'll just go with a recent one I rewatched: spotify:track:2YAiEA20ZrFoWTMMwYIn7L   The soundtrack of Speed perfectly matches the tone of the film. Keeps you at the edge of your seat and also captures the despair of the hostages in the emotional moments. ... View more

Great question! But also a really tough one, because there are so many amazing cartoons to choose from.   You mentioning the wish granting jinnee made me think of Shenlong 🐉 I already collected all the Dragon Balls, but he just won’t appear 😞   To me he's primarily a Manga character though. So, if I had to pick an original cartoon (anime) character, my choice would be Totoro or Cheburashka because they are both absolutely adorable 💚 ... View more
