Those are good games except Fifa 08 cause I hate football games and racing games ;-)
They should make a film about you... :lol:Quote:

Nice to see you love the fox too. :D I never owned the game though, I played with my cousin who had it. It was cool. Difficult though. There was this part of the game where you were on a very narrow path in the middle of space and I always fell. :(Quote:

Oh yes, it must be Mortal Combat!!! Or Tekken, why not? :p
It was nice to struggle and push all the buttons at the same time in a frantic way. :D :lol:
Oh, I liked playing Sonic too, on Game Gear or something.

It's difficult to get an information about Lote, isn't it? You have to whack him on the head so that he discloses anything about himself.:DQuote:

Ah U2 are excellent (listening to them now actually), along with evanescence.
Like you, I listen to lots of different music genres but my personal favourites are all the sub-genres of rock excluding (REALLY) heavy metal and screamo.
Not at all, but it is nice to know my opinion counts for something :thumbs_upQuote:

So let me be your guide to the world of “High Music”. But do not be put off by the word “High” because there is no such thing. Music either works for us, or it does not and there is nothing else to it.
Classical music aspires to our mind as well as to our heart. It infuses and feeds our soul.
1. Puccini's - Madam Butterfly - "One Fine Day"
First on this classical list is called “One fine day” and it is from the opera “Madam Butterfly” by Puccini. It is about a Japanese lady named Butterfly, who falls in love with an American sailor called Pinkerton. Pinkerton promises Butterfly that he will return to take her back to America, but he never does. So with a broken heart Butterfly sings “One fine day, over the green hills he will come…” But he never does. It is the nature of humanity to yearn for things that will never happen. So the music speaks directly to our soul, of this longing for someone who never comes to us and yet we still hope they might come, one fine day and set us free from our pain.

2. Beethoven's - "Moonlight Sonata"
The second on this list is by Ludwig Van Beethoven and is called “Moonlight Sonata. It was composed in the summer of 1801 and was dedicated to Countess Giulietta Gucciardi to whom Beethoven had an unrequited love. And there is also speculative story that goes something like this: Beethoven loved someone so deeply that he referred to this person in his letters as his “Immortal Beloved”. The music may have been borne out of that or something else or it is as some Beethoven Scholars speculate a lament for the dead. Perhaps it is. Perhaps it's not. Either way the music is moving both for the lament for the dead and for the pain of the unrequited love.

3. Mozart Piano Concerto No 23.
The third on this list is by Mozart and it is simply called “Piano Concert No 23.” Mozart was a child genius. He was writing complex music by the age of six. Though he has given us some of the world’s most beautiful music, he died young and penniless and was buried in a pauper’s grave. To me, “Piano Concert No 23” is one of the most serene melodies in the world. When I listen to this music something enters into my soul and makes me weep with joy and sadness. This melody touches me so deeply that I cannot explain why. Perhaps, it does not need an explanation. Perhaps it should remain unexplainable.

4. Rodrigo - "Concerto De Aranjuez"
The fourth in the list is by the blind Spanish composer Rodrigo and is called "Concerto De Aranjuez". It is a brilliant piece of music. When I hear it I am standing in a lush green field. There is a gentle breeze that dances with flowers. The sky is delphenium blue. My eyes scans the horizons, climbs the gentle slopes of the distant mountains, and then travels along the streams with sparkling waters. And then it comes the final. The melody lifts me up in it's warm embrace towards the cloudless sky - higher and higher and the it gently brings me down to the earth again...

5. Bach's - "Brandenburgh Concertos No 1 to 5".
Here is No 5.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49IOKnhX0Sk
It's pure musical meditation. Pure joy! :D
6. Brahms - "Hungarian Dance No 5".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfLGMQuVs-I
7. Vivaldi - "Four Seasons - Spring"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=St9wYu_WeAM
8. Tchaikovsky - "Swan Lake"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mz-Bf...eature=related
9. Mozart - "Eine Kliene Nachtmusik"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhPPQaXx7K8
10. Nyman - "Heart Asks Pleasure First"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dPS-EHl-FE
11. Delibes - “Flower Duet”

I hope you enjoy these tracks. If you don’t it doesn’t matter. What matters is that you have tried listening to something different. Music should speak to us. If it does not, it is not for us. All musical tastes are therefore subjective. If we like it, we like it. If we don’t, we don’t. I have not sent you a test that you need to pass to show that you are intelligent (not that you are not!). Music rises beyond any cerebral activity. Yes, it is true you need intelligence to write music but appreciating music is something that goes beyond any intelligence. Like all art therefore, music touches something deep inside us and we respond to it without understanding why. It can move us to tears or fill our hearts with joy. It can uplift and inspire us and make us forget for a while the harshness of the world.
Some music however takes time to grow on us while others drop off easily from our consciousness and is then forgotten forever. Good music therefore becomes our close friends. In time of need, we turn to them so that they can comfort us with their melodies.
I don't know a lot about classical music, but I am in love with the Moonlight Sonata, I have always found it so wonderfully sad and beautiful. :( :)
oh, Lote, I love this piece! I've got it on a CD somewhere, but I misplaced it. thanks for posting the link (I'd forgotten the title and name of the composer)Quote:

And I think you're quite right that music has to work for you, that is, touch your heart. But some of my friends (classical musicians) would not agree. They hold that music must be a challenge for the intellect. For example, they don't love Bach because of the feelings his music creates but for the intricate fugues - which, as an amateur, I don't understand, of course.
