Post subject:  Playlist Requests
In sort of the same niche as my other thread, Music to write/type by, I'm creating this topic for those of you who would like to request playlists (made by the official Holy Worlds Jukebox Princess *bows gracefully*) in certain moods to write by. I had this idea while I was building up my Epic Sad playlist, and I realized how few people listen to my collections because they don't know about them. And (I might be blowing my own horn here, but *shrug*) I think they could be really useful.

So. Request away. To the best of my knowledge, none of my playlist songs have inappropriate pictures on them, though it's hard to get epic music otherwise sometimes. Ask for specific moods (happy, tragic, angry, dark/creepy), specific artists (Two Steps from Hell, Audiomachine, Hans Zimmer), specific movie soundtracks, specific story events (battles, endings), whatever! And I can make them on Grooveshark as well for those poor people without access to Youtube. *coughElanhilcougheruheran*

And if this should be in General Discussion, somebody let me know. Even though this is my forum. :rofl:

Future World Music has a lot of good ones that plan off of emotions very well. You didn't mention it above so I thought I'd remind you. And I'd ask for playlists, but... I've already got quite a collection of my own. :D My personal favorites are the victory and chase ones. Who'd think victories could sound so bittersweet?

I am going to try your suggestion of writing by music, E. You have broken me down. ;)

But I need music, first. :D

What kind? :D

Oh, and I just realized I should probably link to the playlists I already made so you can have them too... *smacks forehead*

Sad

Enchanted

Joyful

Battles

Wonder

Dark

Mellow

A few of those are a little sparse *cough, cough* but I'll be updating them frequently. If anyone has any suggestions for songs that could go on any one of these, please PM me. :D

AWESOMENESS. :D

*Will be abusing this playlist while writing and/or plotting* :cool:

Particularly the "Dark" playlist. Not sure what that says about my story. :P

I don't have any suggestions right now, but if/when I do, I'll be sure to post. :D

Regret/Remorse/Grief...would the Sad one work for that, Jaynin? *mutters to self* I need to flesh that one out more. :P

A Trap. Well now...I work better with emotions than with situations, but I can try. Here's my new playlist, A Trap. :D

Oh look, another Heather Dale person! She's one of my favorite artists. I've covered several of her songs: Mordred's Lullaby, Tristan and Isolde, The Prydwyn, and Hero. I adore Hunter and the The Greyhound, but I don't actually play them on harp yet.

Heather Dale is pretty awesome. :D Though I haven't heard a lot...

So, speaking of Mordred's Lullaby, I'd like to make a request for a playlist for songs that sort of resemble it, if at all possible. :)

Also:

Destruction
Hopelessness
Regret
Discovery
Travel
Mystery

Thanks so much, E. :D :D This is going to help with NaNo. ^.^

Here's your Folk playlist, Redwing! (If anyone has more suggestions for artists or songs, let me know. I'm a little scarce on my folk resources. ;) )

Folk

And here, Shawn and eruheran, is your Anguish/Grief/Sorrow/Struggle Grooveshark playlist. I wish I had more, but, likewise, my Grooveshark resources are scarce. They don't have very much TSFH at all... *pathetic face* Suggestions please! :) I'll be updating this one later, probably. Somebody poke me.

Anguish/Grief/Sorrow/Struggle

Next on the list:
Discovery
Travel
Mystery
Falling in Love

Enchanted has kind of a bad connotation, Evenstar. Almost creepy. Falling in love is different. I look forward to doing that one. ;)

(There is "folk music" beyond the subgenres of "Celtic" and "folk rock" ... You might have more success with the keyword "traditional.") The one artist (well, band) that leaps to mind (that you'll be able to find on Youtube, anyway) is Nickel Creek. I don't like nearly as much of their later stuff (starting a little before the album Why Should the Fire Die), when they started turning from "folk" into "folk rock" but based on what you've included in these playlists you'll probably like just about everything they've done. (And note that the band broke up and the members went on to solo careers: their names are Sean and Sara Watkins and Chris Thile.) Another band I like some of (but that is often a lot louder than I'd prefer) is Over the Rhine.

Some smaller (more independent) artists you probably won't find on Youtube but you might find on some "Internet radio" or streaming service, and which I recommend:
Ruffwater String Band
Bob Hubbach
RíRá (the album we have, which I love, is "Mischevious Merriment"
Maddy Prior (especially her collaborations with The Carnival Band)
Golden Griffon Stringtet
Mark Wade
Rick Thum
Kaiser Family Band
and so on ...

Why thank you kingjon! :) I'll have to look into those for the playlist. Although, I'm not sure how the ones that can't be found on Youtube will help, since the playlists are Youtube playlists. :?

Here is Falling in Love:

a) You're doing Grooveshark playlists too; I have no experience whatsoever with that service, but I'd guess that obscure artists might be more likely to be found there than on Youtube.

b) Note that I said you "probably" won't find them on Youtube. They're small enough artists that the major uploaders haven't heard of them :). But a few of them (Kaiser Family Band, for example), I had forgotten, make Youtube videos of their concerts.

One artist/band I forgot that's sort of in the middle between the two groups: Carrie Crompton and the Barolk Folk. Her/their album of arrangements of Bach dances is (from what I remember from when I went looking for it) more or less easily found, but their album "Joy after Sorrow" wasn't mentioned anywhere.

Oh, and while I'm here I'll mention that when I was at the Evart Funfest (the major festival in the subset of the folk music world with which I am most familiar), there was a local guy wandering around taking lots and lots of videos of jams and workshops: linky.

And another favorite artist of mine (though decidedly not folk) that you can undoubtedly find a use or somewhere: Sixpence None The Richer, and (as it broke up a while ago, though I seem to recall a reunion somewhat recently?) its (former?) lead singer Leigh Nash.

Umm. I think Youtube just has more music than Grooveshark. :P I'll see if I can find it, but if not you're not missing too much. Nox Arcana is one of my less favorite artists I chose to put on there.

*nods * I loved one of the enchanted ones they had. :D

I am finally getting around to creating playlists off of the stuff you gave me, and finding some of my own. :D I am going to try this Writing by Music stuff you keep praising to me. :D I am getting set up. :D We shall see how this goes.

Love you!
Author:  Lady Eruwaedhiel [ November 10th, 2011, 8:50 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Playlist Requests
*nods* Glad you like them. :D

I usually take one song per scene, unless there are a lot with similar themes (like from a movie soundtrack) that I can use. For example, to write/edit the rhemalyse scene I use Mind Heist by Zack Hemsey (Youtube Grooveshark). Over and over. For the first battle scene (that I posted in the Fireside) I used Budget Meeting by Hans Zimmer (Youtube Grooveshark). Over and over. For the second battle and the Black Moment, I used Black Blade by Two Steps from Hell (Youtube Grooveshark). Over and over. Ya get me? :rofl: Those are some of my absoulte favorites. Listen to them. That's an order.

'Course, it might be different for you. You might want to have several songs per scene or one part of one song over and over for one scene or whatever. So if it doesn't work for you at first, try something different. Try a different genre. Whatever works for you!

I would recommend something for writing with one song per scene like I do: make sure you're well acquainted with the song and the scene before beginning. It doesn't usually work well for me when I A) don't know what's happening in the scene and B) don't know the song very well. To get a really good scene/song mesh, I will listen to the song a few times (five or ten, usually) and imagine what's happening. Then when I write it just seems to flow right out. :D

Also, there are some scenes that I can't find a specific song for. With those, if I really need music at that point, I generally use some "background" songs:

A Hole in the Sun by Two Steps from Hell (Youtube)
Sidyana by Two Steps from Hell (Youtube)
The Game Has Changed by Daft Punk (Grooveshark Youtube)
Disc Wars (Grooveshark Youtube)

Those are more of my favorites. Listen to them too.


Okay, end of a lot of stuff you probably didn't want to hear. :D

Thanks so much for all these fabulous songs, Lady E! I'm with you--I often find one or two great songs, and play them over and over while writing. It seems to make my mind focus on the words more.

How do you feel about doing something a little different from your usual epic playlist? I don't have a nice one word title, but I'm looking for something with an ordinary/everyday adventure sort of feel. Teenagers playing detective and that sort of thing. (I can be vague, if I try really hard. :twisted: )

All right, I found more fodder for my Travel list than I thought I would. :D Here we are, nice and plump with 17 videos:

Travel

The Wonder/Discovery/Mystery playlist I'm slightly less happy with. I found more of the Discovery/Wonder type (light-hearted) than the Mystery (darker and - well - mysterious), I'm afraid, but I figure if you find a couple good songs you can play them over and over. :rofl:

Wonder/Discovery/Mystery

Keep in mind that I update these as I find new music, so keep checking in. Any more Grooveshark requests?

Vanya... Ay yi yi... I'll see what I can find. But I'm afraid I won't be able to get you much outside Devil Wears Nada, TSfH's Romantic Comedy album. We'll see. :?

I never responded! I'm sorry. :blush:
Anyway don't worry about creating something more specific. I never really saw that you had a sad playlist posted earlier.

I do have section in my book coming up that I was hoping you could help me with though. If you're up to it could you create a playlist with a tribal flair? I've found a few songs like "The Hidden Rainforest" by Thomas Bergersen and the SKYRIM theme song, but other than that, I haven't found much.
