Music Tag

I was going to do a Picture Saturday, but I haven't had time to draw more than like three things this week, and I feel like I ought to wait until I can give you guys a quality post. (Unless you guys would rather start seeing like... single pictures with more detail? I DON'T KNOW.)

So instead! I'm going to answer a bunch of questions about music, which ought to be fun and interesting. (Because I'm a very interesting person, dang it!)

I promise to have a fun Picture Saturday next week, just you wait! But until then, here we go!

1.) Do you play any instruments?

Well. I don't currently. I used to play French horn in middle school, and I was fairly good, but once I hit high school, that fell to the wayside while I started taking singing classes at the college.

I would really like to learn how to play guitar or piano... or both! So that I could sing and play at the same time, that would be freaking fantastic, am I right?

2.) What is your favorite music genre?

Ehe. I like a lot of different styles of music, depending on my mood. I mean I'll listen to whatever's popular on the radio, and then turn around and listen to full on opera.

But I would have to say that the music that I listen to and it... resonates in my soul... is classical crossover. I like music with full voices, and more skill than your average pop.

3.) Is there a music genre that you absolutely can't stand?

Uugh. I cannot listen to screaming heavy metal. Or rap. Rap is so obnoxious. 

But the kind of "music" where the singer is just screaming into the microphone, I get physically pained, like, "YOU ARE DESTROYING YOUR VOCAL CHORDS! YOU FOOL! NODULES, MAN! NODUUULES."

4.) What is your favorite way to listen to music? (CD, Vinyl, mp3, radio, etc..)

Ohh... either on CD or plugged into my phone. I like it when I can turn on the music and it just absorbs into my bloodstream and I can feel it pulsing inside me. Yassss.

5.) Top three favorite bands/singers?

*facepalm* Probably Il Volo, Josh Groban, and Anthony Warlow. They have this type of tone-quality that make my cold, cold heart go pitter-pat.

6.) What are your three favorite chords?

Ehm, seeing as I don't play any instrument that uses chords, I'm gonna just...

 

7.) What do you think about TV and Movie Soundtracks?

    

 *Pauses Magnificent Seven soundtrack* What?

8.) Ever made a mixed CD?

Hasn't everyone?

9.) The old days of music were the better ones. Do you agree?

I don't know. I think mostly yes? There was a lot more soul in old music than there is now... I mean...

Because you know I'm all about that bass,

'bout that bass, no treble

I'm all about that bass, 'bout that bass, 

no treble....
I'm all about that bass, 'bout that bass..

AD NAUSEAM 

 

But I think some music now is better than music then. I don't know. I think there's good and bad in both ages. I'm kind of under the opinion that we need to stop comparing the different times. Like music changes. Get over it.

this is my new favorite gif.

10.) Have a ever covered a song and recorded it? Which one?

Ehem. Here is a handy-dandy link to my youtube channel where I sing covers. Sometimes. Intermittently. Rarely. But I do sing.

Handy-dandy link.

11.) The saddest love song is?

Oh. Ehm. I'm gonna be super cheesy and say "When I Look at You" from The Scarlet Pimpernel Musical, cause... IT HOLDS SPECIAL MEANING TO ME OKAY?

Honorable mentions:

*Happy in my Heartache

*Caruso

*Always Hate Me

I can't chose. There are lots. They are sad. 

12.) The happiest love song is?

*Crazed Treskie laughter* Right at this particular moment I'm going to say, "When You Say You Love Me." By Josh Groban because yes. 

Honorable Mentions:

Be My Forever

Still Fallin'

We Are Love

13.) What makes you like a song?

Typically it starts with the lyrics, then the voice, then the melody.

I can't like music if I don't like the lyrics.

I don't tend to like music if I don't like the singer's voice... like, I'll find a cover or something that is tolerable to my ears. lol. 

14.) What song best represents you?

I sat here and thought about this one for like...a whole three minutes. (That's a very long time, as I am easily distracted.)

Gonna have to say... Let Me In, from Rigoletto, is pretty much me. 

15.) What do you love about music?

Oh man.

Music is something else. Music is like seeing someone's heart and soul. Very few things are as personal and emotional as music.

Music can make you happy, or sad, or wistful.

A single song can bring back a flood of memories from ages and ages ago.
Music can tell stories.
Music communicates things in ways ordinary words and actions can't.

Music connects people.

Music can be a window to someone's soul the same way eyes are.

Music is so powerful.

Music is like a piece of heaven on earth. It's magical and wonderful and absolutely necessary.

They say people who pray with song pray twice.

That's amazing.

Music is amazing.

Alrighty everyone, that's all I have for tonight.

Question Time
Have you heard any of my song suggestions already?
What do you think about music? 
Can you answer three of the tag questions for me? 

I love you all!

Picture Saturday || July {3} || Whoa, sudden shipping feels.

Hello everyone.

You ever have those weeks that aren't really bad, and they aren't really good, but there's just something about them that makes you kind of all... weird.

It's not really a bad mood, and it's not really a good mood, it's just there, and you sit there feeling vaguely happy, and vaguely depressed at the same time and how does that even work?

Mm.

Anyway, SURPRISE! This post is actually up on time, which is crazy!


This week, in pictures, I'm a horrible person, because I promised Seven Brides for Seven Brothers* fanart, and I did not deliver.

*hereafter referred to as SBfSB because who has time to write that whole thing out over and over again?


BUT I DID LISTEN to the Mary Poppins Broadway musical, which prompted a re-listen to the movie soundtrack, and excuse me, why isn't there more fanart for Mary and Bert? Hello? They're perfect.

1.) So yeah. I really like how their relationship is kind of mysterious and mutually magical, and they know everything about each other and they're fabulous.

Next week will probably consist mainly of the colored versions of these, you've been warned.

2.) Yeah, somehow Bert in the musical managed to measure up to Bert in the movie, and that requires skill.

3.) BOOM, I finally colored in Iron Man 'cause Civil War emotions hit me like a ton of bricks. (ALSO, did you see how it looks like the Arc Reactor is glowing? Did you see?)

4.) Random bride insertion, because why the heck not?

5.) Also this vaguely creepy one. Is she good? Is she evil? Only the dead can say....

6.) Frikken lovey-dovey pictures because if I can't have it, I'mma draw it, so sue me.

7.) Kate's sad for some reason. Max probably ate her last cookie or something, because that's just how Max's character works.

8.) Aaaand while we're on the subject of Kate, let's throw in some Tristan for good measure. (I know some of you ship them, and honestly, I don't know how I feel about that.)

9.) Strangely enough, I like drawing floating heads, cause reasons.

10.) Bert and Mary's flirtationship makes me happy.

11.) *Facepalm*

Look at his perfect slacks. THEY ARE PERFECT.

Yeeaaah.

I'm super tired.

And I'm actually gonna sign off, because my dearest, most bestest cousin is up visiting and I must spend time with her. So!

Question Time!

Favorite overall?

Best black and white?
Favorite fanart?
How's your weekend going?

I love you all!

Picture Saturday-- May {3} + Inside Out

Three things:

1.) I'm going to to a life-since-March post sometimes next week.

2.) I watched Inside Out FINALLY! It was so good! I cried and smacked Amanda and it was great fun.

3.) I sunburned the crap out of my shoulder. And tomorrow, a big group of us are going to the lake to hang out and do fun things like read and draw and bask in the awesomeness of the outdoors. It's going to be delicious.


Anyway, again, I lacked the muse this week a bit, so I don't have a lot to post, but what I did draw, I like.

So yeah.

1.) The brown toned paper makes me want to draw couples, AND I DON'T KNOW WHY.

2.) I have like 4 sketches in my grey toned sketch book that I'm not posting yet, BUT THEY'RE MOSTLY AVENGERS FANART. And I'll finish them next week. Until then, here, have some Sadness.

3.) Also, Joy, cause REASONS.

4.) SERIOUSLY, SADNESS SPEAKS TO ME ON A SPIRITUAL LEVEL.

5.) Random doodle at singing class.

6.) Amy's singing Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again for one of her solos and it sounds gooood.

7.) Sometimes Kate drinks coffee and judges the boys.

SO that's what I drew.

Mad skillz. lol.

Question Time!

Overall best? 

Favorite colored?

Favorite black and white?

Do you prefer Joy or Sadness?

Alrighty, ladies!

I love you all. 

Cheers!
