Summer Overture

I know that V is not good but when blogging last night I thought of V as the redemption or hope in the world of England so I used him as the figure of light. V is a figure of darkness and Eve says so because she talks about his whole plot is evil and made out of hatred. In the movie Eve flips out and wants to leave because he is so evil but in the novel she finds this almost attractive? attractive as in it is comforting to her.
If V is the redemption for England so you want to replace darkness with a shadow then your world is in dark hands.

Summer Overture: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UH6oBf7-Zng&feature=related

originally written by Mozart but redid by Mansel for Requiem for a Dream

A completely different song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RINbpuqcWW8

I do not expect anyone to ever listen to those songs nor agree that they are good

The relation to these songs is that I marvel over both of them. see i wanted to be a composer when i grew up. i wanted to write the background music to movies. my father played me Jim Brickman as a child and we went to his concerts and he was a composer. i like it so much that when I saw Jim live in the capital building i decided i wanted to be a composer. If more people played Kingdom Hearts i would talk about how that made up my mind completely.

Composing was just this beautiful art in itself and then when you mix it with a movie... well its just an unstoppable force of emotions. Movies in my opinion are the greatest art form we have thus far. Its like every artist got together and decided on one big art. You have the composer who writes music. You have the director who is like painter. You have the actors who are the characters. You have the script writers who are the poets and all these arts hit you at once. You soak in all these art forms at once. The Titanic. What if they had different actors? what if they had different music? what if they had a different setting or script? the combination of all those arts mad a movie and people recognized that movie. you may not like it or deny it but the sales give some merit to my claim.

why would i talk about summer overture then?
Because I would have to say that is my lifes song. My life does not need words. Life has fast and intense movements and slow waltzs. Life is nothing but cut and double time in 4/4 with the metronome driving you onward.

and the summer overture has it all. it has beauty. it has fierce. it has waltzs. it has ballads. it has your a tonal music in places. you could totally picture someone dying to that song. most people think of movie trailers or fighting scenes in movies. its post modern to say but i think you can take anything you want from that song. You could invision stabbing someone to watching a child being born during that song.

But that is the point! i like that i can see 467 things happening in that song because life has 476 things happening in it. People have a life verse and thats cool but i cant say that verse contains life nor would i would to associate my life with all that encompasses in it with a verse and everything it stands for.
So Much Love can only be a life song for so many people and life isnt so much love all the time. Life does not even have words most of the time. I was born without words. I will die without words.
Life is a crescendo with no last note to end the measure.
