Things People Don't Know About Me...

I'm in to Classical and Rock music too...

                                                             Classical
I've played the piano for 13 years non-consecutively and the Clarinet for 7 years, so I have a certain taste for Classical music. I really like Orchestral works, movie soundtracks. My favorite composer that I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO WORK FOR is Hans Zimmer. I would just die if I could, he is a genius!! For those who may not know him, he's composed just about everything but my favorite works from him are:




Just to name a few. I love ALOT more songs from him but that's just the few I could remember.

I also like Chopin. I wish I could play all his stuff, but those days are over for me haha.

I'm REALLY into the Vitamin String Quartet. I've been listening to them for the past 5 years, their covers are impeccable. AMAZING. They've done so many collections it's ridiculous but my favorite songs include Tribute to Kanye West: Jesus Walks, that arrangements is flippin brilliant.  Paramore Tribute, Linkin Park Tribute, and 'The Kill' by 30 Seconds to Mars. I love alot more but I listen to those ALOT! Please give them a listen, they've done Pop and R&B too...Alicia Keys, Adele, Lady Gaga, Kanye. But they're known for Rock and extremely popular music that's out right now. BUT IT'S AMAZING!! TRUST.

Rock
I don't listen to ALOT of Rock music. I got into it when I was playing Guitar Hero like everyday back then lol. My FAVORITE artist that I was ALWAYS listen to is Coheed and Cambria. Their genre is a bit different, they're slated as "Progressive Rock" because they do soft songs too...Their songs involve stories, they are based off comics that they write and what not. I don't read them or really pay attention to the story line, but the lyrics are AMAZING. Whenever I'm angry lol, I listen to them. Claudio Sanchez is a GENIUS. His voice has a higher tone, like sometimes I can't even sing that high because he harmonizes and stacks his voice, but he's brilliant. I don't know what it is about them, but I just love their stuff. Some of my favorite songs:





Basically the entire Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV album. That is one of my fav albums of all time. His lyrics are just....relatable to me. Things that I can't say to people hahaha, but he can lol.

It's good to be diverse. I listen to Pop and R&b and foreign stuff and Sia lol, but when I want to get away from the mainstream, I listen to Classical and Coheed and Cambria.
