Matewis: Some of my favorite music is composed for movies/games, and every so often there is this amazeballs epic piece. For example:
Toto - Big Battle from the 1980s film Dune (listen till the end)
Jason Hayes - Stormwind City from WoW
Paul Houseman - Day of Days. I don't think this is in a film/game, but nevertheless it ought to be.
Any other favorites? It's always exciting to learn about a new song/artist
I can kind of comprehend how nasa engineers can build a spaceship, in the sense that, if I were about 50 times more intelligent then I might be able to understand how all the pieces fit together and adhere to very particular design and material specifications probably based on hundreds of research papers studying the behaviour of materials in space and at high/low temperatures etc.
But one thing that I cannot for the life of me comprehend is how someone can manage to compose a good song, much less epic songs such as these.
That Toto - Big Battle song makes me want to search for a giant sand worm so I can ride one like a Fremen warrior.
Epic songs for an epic movie.
