This week’s Tune for Tuesday, “Sway” by Michael Buble, is a song I only discovered yesterday, but absolutely adore. Listening to this makes me feel like one smooth and classy gentleman!
This week's Tune for Tuesday, The Turntable Turnabout(aka "Money" by Mystery Skulls), is something I stumbled upon by chance recently, and have been very grateful for it. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I do!
Sorry for not posting a Tune for Tuesday last week, but sometimes things just don't go as planned. Either way, hope you all enjoy this catchy, upbeat theme for a classic and influential movie, "The Galaxy Express 999" by Godiego!
Last week, I had the opportunity to do something I love but rarely get to partake in: find somewhere high up where I could lie on my back, gaze at the night sky, and be greeted by the sight of far more stars than I usually get to see at night where I am. This had a very therapeutic effect on me, something I really needed for some time, and I ended up feeling far more relaxed than I had for a while. There's just something about seeing a sky full of shimmering lights that simultaneously excites me and puts my mind and body at ease. I can't even imagine what riding a gorgeous luxury train through the sea of stars we call space would be like. That settles it. Somebody get me a ticket for the Galaxy Express!
This week's rather timely Tune for Tuesday, "Ghostbusters" by Ray Parker Jr., is not only the awesome theme song for a great movie, but this song happens to have a special place in my heart. When I was a senior in high school, I decided that I wanted to try learning how to play this on the piano, and initially thought I could get it down by Halloween. Turned out to be a LOT harder than I originally expected. Even deciding not to try and memorize the piece and instead just play off of the sheet music, it was still incredibly challenging to reach the point where I felt comfortable with it. There was even a section of the song that I chose not to repeat when playing in an attempt to make things even easier on myself. In the end, I had been working on this song up until it was around the time of my high school graduation. But when I decided to play this as one of two songs at a piano recital, from the moment I started playing the opening chords for the audience, it became clear that my efforts had more than paid off. Not only was I singing along with the lyrics, but without even realizing it, I even repeated the section I had earlier decided to only play once through. As an added treat, my piano teacher surprised me by bringing a double-sided sign he had made so that when I got to the parts of the song where it goes "Who ya gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS!", the audience could chime in. I did a better job playing this piece at that recital than any of the times I had practiced it, and several witnesses agreed with me. The result was a wonderful and joyous performance I'll never forget.
This week’s Tune for Tuesday, “Luigi’s Mansion WITH LYRICS” by brentalfloss, is going to be the first of at least a few that will be in the spirit of a certain holiday at the end of this month. Enjoy!
I originally had something else planned for this week’s Tune for Tuesday, but then I saw the amazing OVA this song, “Tatakae Otaking!”, is from a few hours ago. I have heard Otaku no Video referred to as a training manual for otaku, and now I can safely say that it is for good reason. It is AWESOME!
