Writing Music: Reflections
10:59
There are several things that I love about music and
YouTube. First there is so much of it just waiting to be discovered. Second, my
favourite musicians are always releasing new songs for me to listen to. And
thirdly, some pieces come with amazing music videos to accompany them, like the
music video for Taylor Davis’ brand new original piece Reflections. This song forms part of her newly released album of
original music, which I plan to buy and listen to on repeat for days.
This song reminds me very much of video game music. It has
an intense feel to it, very focused and determined, growing to quite an upbeat,
epic piece, which almost feels like the triumphant end of a quest. The video
itself is amazingly inspiring and packed with plot bunnies. Have you ever
wondered what would happen if your reflections had lives and worlds of their
own? What would happen if one day your reflection didn’t follow your movements?
Who is your favourite
musician of the moment? Have you ever read a book about reflections? What are
you listening to this week? And are you a fan of Taylor Davis’ music?

This was beautiful! I've listened to Taylor Davis before--I just love the violin--and I have a friend who absolutely raves about her. I really need to check out her other videos.
ReplyDeleteI never used to like the violin but Taylor Davis was one of the musicians who helped me learn to like it. I think I listened to too much early amateur violin before. You should definitely check out her other music videos. They're all pretty epic.
DeleteIt has a Legend of Zelda quality to it... I think I've seen one of her videos before this one, but I'm not sure. I'm currently listening to Nick Murray's Aeon which if you've seen some of the Cinderella trailers, that's the background music. It perfectly depicts what "Aeon" means: "life", "being", or "time". The song is beautiful.

Aeon is such a beautiful piece. I think I've fallen in love with it already. I'm actually going to see Cinderella today, so I'm really excited!
DeleteI like this track, it was rather exciting... I enjoyed it. Taylor Davis comes up with some great tracks—thanks for sharing her!
ReplyDeleteNo problem. I get so excited by finding a new great track that I just have to share it with someone. Taylor Davis has some of the best instrumental writing music I've found.
