Letter ‘R’ || ABC Music Challenge

Published on by WendiLeave a comment

Contemporary

Royals – Lorde

I first heard ‘Royals’ on the radio and it was one of the best songs I heard at the time. I think this was one of the first ‘modern’ songs I liked because I had an anti-radio phase roughly 5 years ago. So yes, this song has meaning for me.

Run – EXO

No thanks to Sami, I think I’m addicted to EXO songs, such as Growl, Overdose, Mama and more… (#^.^#)
But… I like this one. It’s more uplifting compared to others like Growl, Overdose and Lotto. I think this one makes EXO more on par with Western ‘boy’ bands such as The Vamps and One Direction. I’m not sure if that’ll be correct though… (^_^’)

Reality – Lost Frequencies (feat. Janieck Devy)

I really like this song! I was really into it last year. I used to sing it EVERYWHERE!! I like it because it’s relaxing but it’s somehow motivational for me. Weird, isn’t it? Anyways, I think of older people and their lives when I hear this song. What do you think of when you hear it?

Soundtrack/Instrumental

Reminiscence – Satoshi Takebe (From Up on Poppy Hill)

Ah… Memories… You should watch the movie if you haven’t already… It’s worth your time (in my opinion). If you don’t believe me, you might want to find others’ opinions online but it’s pretty good. At least, acknowledge the soundtrack if you don’t want to watch the movie.

Reprise (AKA Again) – Joe Hisaishi (Spirited Away)

Now, this stirs emotions. I first watched the movie way back and only recently watched it again. It does have one of the best soundtracks I’ve ever heard and I think it’ll be worth your time to watch the movie and listen to the soundtrack because soundtracks are MADE to accompany a movie, after all… But of course, they are beautiful on their own. Still, the best way to listen to a soundtrack is to watch the movie it accompanies (in my opinion)

Baroque/Classical/Romantic

Rondo alla Turca (AKA Turkish March) – Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

This is easily one of my favourite Mozart pieces. I can’t play it well at all but it is something I hope to play in the future (along with Chopin’s Études Op. 10 and Op. 25 ^^ ) I hope you like this piece as well because it’s really nice to listen to (I think I use that phrase too much) and I like the mix of major and minor (#^.^#)

Notable Mentions

  • Red Lights – Tiësto
  • The Real Slim Shady – Eminem
  • Rolling in the Deep – Adele
  • Ryuusei – TiA
  • Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso – Camille Saint-Saëns (I’m not sure if this piece would fit into this letter… )
