01. The beginning made me think of a death march, then when the music changed it made me think of two people who love each other and can't be together. Kind of like they were together, knew they couldn't go on and are now saying goodbye but knowing that this is probably the one person who could make them happy but because of circumstances beyond their control they have to say goodbye. Kind of like Romeo and Juliet.
02. This made me think of Lord of the Rings and the battle at Helms Deep. There are all the elves and men on one side and the orcs on the other. But its the elves and men that I think of, its them thinking of what they are fighting for and knowing they must go into battle for those that they love no matter that most of them will die. As the song continues and the beat gets harder I think of the elves pulling back their arrows and standing there waiting.
03. This makes me think of someone sitting alone and feeling like they are losing their mind, they are hearing voices and grabbing at their head and they start yelling and breaking things as the music gets stronger. Then in the middle the music calms and the person calms down as well but then the music starts to swell again and they start to run through a house and pulling stuff over and getting angry because they can't figure out whats wrong with them. Then the end they resign themselves and they walk out the door.
04. This is like a dance tune. I can see a night club and lots of bodies dancing around. I can picture really bright colors and bodies in motion. There are lots of people but then I can see two people kind of advancing toward each other because they music kind of changes then so its like there are only the two of them and they are dancing back and forth but not touching just testing each other. Then the music really slows and its just the clicking and they are walking toward each other and touching and then they start to dance together and the end of just music and fingers clicking and they kiss.
05. This is a very haunting tune, the opening with just violins is very dramatic and sad. It reminds of me a funeral and someone standing at a coffin. I can see rain but the person doesn't care because they are deeply hurt. Then as the music changes and other instruments come in I can see the person remembering their life with the person who died, recalling memories of them and happier times. then the music just suddenly stops and you know the grieving person turns to go.
06. I started picturing a belly dancer, kind of like an harem room but there is a woman dancing around a single man. As the music just sort of loops you can see her his doing the same and then the music kind of changes and she gets closer to the man and closer and then some sort of music gets funky and the man has stood and started walking toward the woman and shes backing up and then twirling around and they kind of make a path around the room as he progresses toward her and she keeps dancing and moving her hips and he keeps following. But when the music ends you don't really know if he gets her or not.
07. This is very haunting right in the beginning and then it starts getting faster. It makes me think of a western movie for some reason like the Magnificent Seven, I can see the good guys riding horses and the bad guys are like terrorizing people. Then the music changes and I can see a gun fight and then there is a pause and you know a good guy gets shot and then it resumes again and every time there is a pause its someone getting shot and like falling in slow motion. There is gets really heavy and hard and then almost slows and you know its down to two and then is a gunshot and you are left to wonder who it is that won.

Maybe I wrote too much, its too big for one comment - sorry, lol.

Pt 2

08. This reminds me a mom in a rocking chair with a baby. Its very ethereal and quiet and almost haunting maybe I don't almost like she is sad, the little whooshing that come in and out of the song make me think each time she starts rocking faster and faster like she is remembering things and trying to forget. The little eerie part starts with the guitar and you can almost see her crying and rocking. Like the longer the song goes on it seems to get darker and darker. But you can still hear the almost lullaby part of the song throughout but it turns into something else that makes me think when you see the woman at the end of the song, when it kind of really slows and ticks that she isn't really holding a real baby but maybe a doll. Sorry this seems like a dark explanation and possibly triggering to some but that's what I thought of.
09. First it sounds like a wind storm so I think of someone being outside then the beat gets faster and the person starts running like the are being chased. There is almost a crescendo to the back beat of the music that's when you sort of see the feet of the person who is chasing the other one. There's like a beat every other few minutes so you are going back and forth between the two. They you hear what sounds like wolves or people and you know they are getting close to one another and then it gets faster and faster like a heartbeat and they are out of breath but know the have to go on. Then it gets scratchy like and you know they caught one another and they are looking at one another and you hear that heart beat sound and a growl and then you realize its a man and woman and they finally caught each other and then walk together slowly and kiss as the music fades.
10. Very futuristic, Tron like music. Like neon lasers and lights and the vastness of space. This reminds me of Luna and her Dad dancing at the wedding. They are free and flowing and and carefree - that's the feel of the music like nothingness and just feeling the air around you and being calm and peaceful in yourself. Like you in a zen place and nothing can touch you at all.
