Z Is For...



Welcome to the A To Z Challenge 2015.

My theme this year is music. Specifically music that I listen to at least fairly regularly and that falls in to these categories:
D - Can't help but dance to it
P - Panicked
S - Can't help but sing to it
S/C - Strikes a chord with me (no pun intended)
W - Wildcard

When it some to the “strikes a chord” category, I don't necessary relate or connect to that song but it still send a bit of shiver through me to listen to it. And I couldn't think of a way to describe all of that in one short phrase... so strikes a chord it is.

Enjoy!







 And here is the final post in the A To Z Challenge 2015... and my 2nd wildcard post. Like with X I could not think of a song that I listened to regularly that began with Z. So here is another type of music I listen to whilst writing. I would say it's similar to classical but as you will hear this group is both similar to the classical genre and different at exactly the same time.

For Whom The Bell Tolls - Apocalyptica

(Yes this is a cover version of the Metallica song)



Grace - Apocalyptica


Pray - Apocalyptica

Welcome to the first of my 2 "wildcard" posts (Betcha can't guess which letter is the other wildcard can you?)

Basically I could not think of a song that I had ever heard of let alone listened to on a regular basis that began with the letter X so I decided to make this a wildcard post. Both of my wildcard posts concern music that I like to listen to when I am writing - today's type of music? Classical.

I don't know why but I do like to listen to a bit of classical music when I am writing and here are 2 of my favourite pieces.

Danse Macabre - Camille Saint-Saens

The only problem with listening to classical music when I'm writing is sometimes I end up conducting instead of typing :)

(don't turn this up too loud - it starts out quiet and then gets louder... suddenly)

 

In The Hall Of The Mountain King - Edvard Grieg

(this is another one that starts off quiet and gets louder - although this one isn't quite so sudden)

When you wish upon a star,
Makes no difference who you are,
Anything your heart desires,
Will come to you.
