What's your theme song?

[MistressValerie1]

i almost forgot, i have here a remix of Bethoven's 5th Symphony for Mistress Valerie, it sounds awesome, it's splitted with hacha, which i included with last file.

Thank you so much! You're a sweetie 🙂

 

[SheDevil1]

Oh whoa whoa whoa, people are posting music now? Thats it motherlovers, time to post my theme.

 

[nessonite1]

WELCOME TO THE HOUSE OF FUN *Da Da Da Da Da Da Da *

and so on and so forth!

Oh oh oh oh that was in one episode of The Young Ones wasn't it? please post the name and artist please so I can get it? I mean...LEGALLY PURCHASE IT....

On that note...please no one upload any more songs. We don't allow warez or illegal software and Im sure ilegal music counts so...Im sorry but I may have to delete what some of you have posted. 🙁

 

[BigNorm]

nice song, she devil

your welcome, Mistress Valerie, hehe, i love you too. 😀

this is Paint it Black redone by Judas Priest, it's totally awesome.

also included is a real funny song that help ease my anger toward road rage, etc. it's simply called "Asshole" and i think you'll enjoy. i'm not sure if it's by Jimmy Buffet, even if the song implies it.

oh sorry ness, don't mean to cause problems.all my songs i post can't be bought, only downloaded from kazaa and what not, so i'm sorry, didn't think it'd be a problem.

 

[nessonite1]

I dont know much about music and who does what and what can and can't be bought so Im going to leave these for HDS to decide on...Sorry HDS, I just dont think Im qualified to make the right choices here. 🙂

 

[Ksilrebu]

I'd have to say "Brain Damage" by Pink Floyd. With "Eclipse" played at the end, of course.

I also dig Kefka's theme music. That's one snazzy tune. But, alas, it already belongs to someone. I stand by the above.

 

[alchemy1]

Hmmm...I can't sufficently describe my personality with only one song...there are three that very much identify me.

1. "The Divine Wings of Tragedy" - Symphony X
- Dark, heavy and haunting...yet deep and beautiful

"And from the mansions of glory, This empy soul cries out one final plea...
The end has begun.
Our worlds collide, now in desguise you'll feel the Wrath Divine
Tears of woe fall from the sky..."

2. "Song for Lynette" - Eric Johnson
- Instumental song with piano and guitar...beautiful, lonely and a bit sad

3. "Heaven and Hell" - Dio/Black Sabbath
- The ultimate metal song that speaks the truth about life

"Life is like a carrousel,
Spining fast you've got to ride it well.
The world is full of kings and queens
They'll blind your eyes and steal your dreams"

If you understand these three songs, you pretty much understand me. 😎

 

[BigNorm]

yeah, i love that song by pink floyd

 

[His Divine Shadow]

I dont know much about music and who does what and what can and can't be bought so Im going to leave these for HDS to decide on...Sorry HDS, I just dont think Im qualified to make the right choices here. 🙂

Hmm......This is a grey area. The only way uploading those is legal is if, and only if, the producer and original copyright holder of the songs has explicitly allowed distribution of their song. Just because a song can only be found on Kazaa does not mean distribution is allowed. I suspect that some of the songs uploaded here, such as the Beethoven remix, fall under the catagory of distribution permitted by the creator, but I am unsure of many of the others. Just to be on the safe side, I must reiterate something Nessie said: Please, no further uploading of the songs themselves, alright?

 

[BigNorm]

understood. sorry for the trouble.

 

[David Tyler]

Couldn't begin to say what my theme song is. It changes very often. I write and play. Sometimes my song is something I've written and sometimes it's a Jovi tune or a Beatles tune. Sometimes it's an Offspring tune.. specifically 'Self Esteem'.

Do most of you have one song that you could call your theme song?

Would you say that it has to be something your friends associate you with or would it be something that runs through your head a lot? Guess I'm just looking for a definition.

 

[naveltkltr1350]

hmm..mine would be a tie..between..

Enter Sandman..Metallica

Idiot Boyfriend..Jimmy Fallon (yes i know Krystle will kill me for this) "I know what you want and I know what you need, but imma screw it up, yeah, cause im an idiot and im your boyfriend. lmfao

 

[Ghost_Host_9991]

Hmmm...I have been told by lots fo folks that my theme song should be Vader's Imperial March from Star Wars. My college roommate even played it when I went up to get my diploma. (he had a boom box in hs lap in the audience).

The opening theme to John Carpenter's Halloween is another good one for me.

And two kind of esoteric yet similar pieces for good eerie theme music. Take a good listen to the music from Rocky 4 when Drago is going to enter the ring for his match with Rocky Balboa, and in a similar vein...in Transformers the Movie they give Unicron this sinister bass riff that heralds his approach...the music almost sounds like impending doom...good stuff.

 

[Cbarton]

In high school, my theme sound would have been "Lonesome Loser" by the Little River Band...described my social life pretty well...

Now it is "One More Song for You" by the Imperials, the song that kept me from suicide one very bad night...

 

[somebody231]

Within Temptation - Pale
Sonata Arctica - The Misery
Sonata Arctica - Sing In Silence

... and almost all of Sonata Arctica's songs are my faves... every single one (except a song named Shy and some covers)
Actually Sonata Arctica's my fave band ever. So my 1st fave song I can't live without is "The Misery" ^_^

 

[Kougaiji-sama]

lately my theme has been Buried Alive By Love by HIM. it just describes how ive been feelin lately. although someone got me the lyrics to a Kelly Clarkson song ive never even heard and it describes me kinda well too. Behind These Hazel Eyes. but the one song i never get tired of...Olde Time Rock n Roll. that is the theme song for me and a couple of my friends. its just wierd..when we hear it we all just stop and listen.

 

[-Kunoke-]

That's a hard one...

"Somewhere I Belong", by Linkin Park, pretty much reflects my entire life, so I'll go with that.

 

[Lummie]

Ah yes...those are moving lyrics indeed, Vlad! lolol

it's a good song, so don't make fun of it 😛 If you understand the lyrics, it's even better 😀

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

Yes. Most people tend to dismiss something if its not sung in their language. Which is quite the shame since much of history (and humanity's) greatest musical triumphs were from other countries.

I think the fact they are sung in a different language makes them even more beautiful and cherished.

 

[nessonite1]

Well maybe...if you can find a translation. Otherwise it's pretty nonsensical. Of course if the music is great then it doesnt matter....but if the music is the reason a song is great then sharing it's foreign lyrics won't mean anything to anyone. I wonder if we can post mp3's. I should know that.

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

The song is beautiful, but its not suited to everyone, especially not with all the music and genres that have been created since. The song only has one set of lyrics. Its not as if it was original in english. The beauty of the song is that it is in german and has gone unaltered since.

As for MP3s, I don't think its a good idea. Linking to them may be a different story though. It depends.

 

[Low_Roads]

Here's the preamble and the first three verses of Friedrich von Schiller's "Ode to Joy", as used in Beethoven's 9th Symphony. I found this in a 1947 volume called "The Concert Companion", and Natalie Macfarren is credited with the translation. This isn't the entire choral text, but these stanzas are repeated throughout the fourth movement (wholely or in part). I've always liked this version, as it makes an effort to maintain rhyme and meter, frequently missing from more literal translations. I think Schiller's spirit is better served that way:

Oh friends, no more these sounds continue!
Let us raise a song of sympathy, of gladness.
O joy, let us praise thee!

Praise to Joy, the God-descended
Daughter of Elysium!
Ray of mirth and rapture blended,
Goddess, to thy shrine we come.
By thy magic is united
What stern Custom parted wide.
All mankind are brothers plighted
Where thy gentle wings abide.

Ye to whom the boon is measured,
Friend to be of faithful friend,
Who a wife has won and treasured,
To our strain your voices lend!
Yea, if any hold in keeping
Only one heart all his own,
Let him join us, or else weeping,
Steal from out our midst unknown.

Draughts of joy, from cup o'erflowning,
Bounteous Nature freely gives
Grace to just and unjust showing,
Blessing everything that lives.
Wine she gave to us and kisses,
Loyal friend on life's steep road,
E'en the worm can feel life's blisses,
And the Seraph dwells with God.

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

Very good. 🙂

But see, this is the problem and partially why I didn't add the translations for any of the classical songs I may have shared. Some people won't like the song when they learn its religious (they may see it or the lyrics as corny) and it would be unlikely that they would care what language it was sung in and in what nuance or vibe, tone and soul.

If any particular is going to keep them from enjoying the song, then its not well served either way. I'm not suggesting people should not research the lyrics of a song thats in a different language, but for those that don't already know and their interest is dependant on the messege and not the music itself or the singing then they're probably not going to enjoy it when they might have had they remained unaware.

Its funny how people are that way. Thats a conflict of interests between their heart and their worldly mind. Because their mind was blinded by the beauty of the song they enjoyed it and the music spoke to them, it spoke to their heart. But later when they learn the lyrics they almost feel guilty for liking it, because it conflicts with their beliefs, what they're about, or whatever.

Silly humans. 😛

 

[Low_Roads]

I'm just cynical enough to believe that anyone who'd avoid Beethoven's Choral Symphony because of religious tone wouldn't listen to it in the first place: because it's longish and demands attention, because it's less than familiar to modern ears, because its not always easy to find in libraries, etc. I'm not religious myself; I'm an agnostic... but I'll appreciate a work of great beauty regardless of its inspiration. I'm listening to Bach's B-minor Mass at this very moment. Beauty is beauty. I find Natalie Macferren's translation quite beautiful. Those who won't listen to Beethoven, based on a prejudice, are beyond my power or interest to sway.

 

[Ignatz]

The William Tell Overture. (Not the whole thing, just the Lone Ranger section...although when I'm actually on horseback it needs to be played at dirge tempo.)
