I have often found myself immediately spellbound by some great (and some otherwise truly mediocre) films that masterfully utilize music to set the tone and reel the viewer (and listener) into the world its creating, be it a fantastical, humid forest breathing with alien life or a humble apartment peeling at the corners and colored with the knickknacks of its lovelorn inhabitant. Creating artwork in my own apartment, I find myself in the company of dreamy, wandering pieces which audibly paint a world similar to the one I am attempting to illustrate. Sometimes I am whisked away from my own work to imagine places and stories entirely different. I thought there should be a music blog for these sorts of songs: lovely scores or works that might as well be, songs that make you envision a music video or that make your rain-soaked trip to the supermarket, lost in thought and damp socks, worthy of a poignant moment in your own story.
My proposed format is: 1. the tune, 2. an imagined scene, 2.5 optional link to actual movie or music video, 3. inspired sketch or accompanying art of some sort.
Here’s a stab at it.
