A Change of Plans

Greetings and Salutations,


I have decided to adjust how I have been doing these videos, they apparently are not very effective in their current state, and so I shall be doing them in a theme, hopefully more of you readers out there will gain enough courage to commentify below. The new theme for the new series starting today, yes this means that the previous two videos will not be voted on or included in this series, unless you send me videos arguing one way or another or giving me a vote, will be music. By music I don't mean hard rock etc. I mean moving pieces, music that all you have to do is listen to the melody and your soul takes over and you feel without even knowing all of the feelings the composer and/or musicians are feeling. Little warning, many of these songs may be sad, as unfortunately sadness is one of the only emotions which carries through any medium, from music to paintings and even dance. If you have any suggestions for good songs that you think are very emotional, whether positively or negatively, please feel free to post a link in a comment below, or send a link to me in an email.


Today's video is the main theme from the movie Schindler's List, by John Williams. The song is a sad one, and has at its back the story of a German who works with Jews during the holocaust in WWII. The video itself was made by "Stigno89", though the music as said before was composed and directed by John Williams and the violin melody is played by the world famous Itzhak Perlman. Here's the movie and please tell me what  particular emotion this song evokes in you, how good you think it is, and perhaps any other tidbits of information your brain produces.







I only received one word usage suggestion for this past week again, so I suppose it is the winner, again, same person. Last week's winner is Tom Bombadil Memorizer with their statement "Unlike many other books I have had to read for school, "A Tale of Two Cities" by Charles Dickens is not at all a soporific work." Congratulations for your commentification, and now for this week's word of the week:


Quiescent
~Quiet, Still, Inactive


Don't forget to comment below and rate the word and or video, I shall unfortunately not be able to post this Wednesday nor this upcoming Saturday due to me being out of town, though if I find a way I will certainly try to post.

Farewells and Valedictions,
