Date: 2011-06-09 03:13 pm (UTC)02. I'm thinking of a Gladiator, about to go into the arena. He is the best and the bravest and strongest Gladiator there ever was, but he is still afraid. This is his personal anthem. By the end he is ready, goes into the arena and slays everyhing in his way.
03. To me, this is incredibly beautiful. It talks about a beautiful night, spent with friends, drinking wine, laughing. There is no fear, no uncertainty, just the comfort of pleasant company. No one thinks about the future or all the crap in their lives. It's reassuring, 'everything will be ok' sort of music.
04. A bunch of kids at a rave in the desert, at 4am in the morning. The sun comes up behind the hills and they're still dancing, hopped up on pills and alcohol, sweaty and exhausted, but blissed-out, because they're high and don't notice anything around them. They'll keep dancing til they collapse.
05. This makes me restless. The violins are so urgent, like something terrible is about to happen. Then there is the marching beat in the background. I think it's a beautiful, harmless looking day, somewhere in the countyside - and something terrible, horrible, unthinkable is about to happen and nobody but the music suspects a thing.
06. Medical sounds, intruments beeping. I'm sensing a hospital, a busy emergency room. Everything runs like a well-oiled machine. Patients come in, doctors treat them. The nerves are high, but the professionals stay calm and do their jobs. Let's save some lives today, people!
07. Ahhh, I know this. Or something very much like this. It's a very familiar sequence of sounds. It makes me think of our modern society. People just going about their business, not noticing the people around them. Isolation. But it's not agressive or sad. It's just how it is. I feel like this could be the soundtrack of every-day life.
08. Fairytale music! In a land far, far away, in a time long, long ago... a young princess sits alone in her tower, waiting for her prince to come. She waits and waits. Princes come, but it's never the right one. And in the end she's like, fuck it, and goes out to find her damn prince on her own. They lived happily ever after ;-)
09. The wind in the beginning immediately made me think I'm on top of a tower somewhere. And then suddenly there's chaos all around me. Omg, I'm King Kong, aren't I? On top of the Empire State Building, surrounded by planes that want to shoot me down. I'm scared, there's nowhere to run. So I accept the inevitable and fall.
10. There is a vastness to this music, it gives me the image of wide, open spaces. Freedom. It's as if the music tells you if you wanna be free, just run. Don't let anything hold you back. This speaks of a future without constraints. Just run. Or drive. Or ride. Or fly away in a great big spaceship. Just gtfo out here and be free.

Date: 2011-06-09 03:23 pm (UTC)02. I think of an epic person, a warrior of some sort, riding something. Either a plane or a dragon, on their way to the final battle. Dont ask.
03. I think of a young guy, who has seriously messed something up in his life and is walking down the street reflecting on how to fix what he's done.
04. I see people entering a party they arent supposed to be at so they are like looking around warily and stuffs. But its like a rave so there are lots of colorful lights and dancing people EVERYWHERE.
05. O this is so someone getting ready for battle. Like putting or armor and stuff, getting ready to face their destiny!! They are attaching knives to their belt, lacing up their shoes, that kind of thing.
06. I think of an arabian dance party. Like late at night, in the heat with sand blowing around and LOTS of people. Like a million people all just kinda swaying around an being chic. IDEK.
07. The hero of the movie has just realized what they have to do to defeat the bad guy. And they are then walking to meet him. towards the end of the song, the hero has embraced his fight and is SO READY TO KICK BUTT! Everything I think of is like movie based. wierd.
08. This is a goodbye song. Or a lullaby. Lets combine it. Ok so a Mom or Dad who has to leave is standing over their sleeping child while this is playing, thinking about how they are leaving it, most likely for their child's own good. One last kiss on the head and they are gone.
09. Someone was sitting, in a park near a road and suddenly they sense something. Something bad. And they decide ok now might be a good time to run like hell!!
10. Someone is walking through a warehouse trying to find something, not sure what they are going to find that going to attempt to stop them. Very mysterious and upbeat at the same time. Cool!

3. The one definite image I got from this song was a young girl, perhaps in high school. She's living life, breaking up with her boyfriend, trying new things, getting teased, and making new friends. Mostly positive things, but with a mix of some negative things as well.
4. The beginning is a young man working studiously at a computer and as the song goes on you get to see that he is playing some kind of RPG or game (though more a slice of life than battle-oriented one, perhaps set in a Middle Eastern sort of setting).
5. The setting is a once-beautiful decaying old house which may or may not be haunted. A girl is being seduced by a mysterious man (kind of reminded me of Phantom of the Opera) and doesn't realize the danger she is really in the entire time. She should probably get out of there.
6. This is a trendy club, tons of people packed together and dancing with colored spotlights flashing around in the dimness, while in the background there are all manner of shady goings-on and deals being made.
7. It's a civilization on the verge of complete collapse under the apocalypse. The few survivors have banded together and are lurking about, always keeping a watchful eye, battling any zombie or other undesirable thing that comes around and threatens them.
8. I think of ghost babies. At first I saw this as a baby's view of the world, but then the weird effects came along and changed the song just slightly so that now I picture it as a ghost baby's world- a bit creepy at times but still fundamentally innocent.
9. It's a foggy night at a dark, ancient old castle. The hero slowly approaches it, thinking he hears weird voices but never quite sure. He gets inside and starts to look around THEN SUDDENLY HE IS ATTACKED BY VAMPIRES. They swarm out of the shadows and seemingly empty rooms and lead him on a chase around the castle. He finally makes it outside, but now he hears weird growling noises coming from the forest... I wonder if it's a full moon. ;)
10. I see the pulsing lights of a city at night. Flashing neon signs, headlights making bright solid lines as cars speed down the freeways, streetlights sparkling everywhere. Maybe somewhere like Tokyo or New York. A city that's still busy, even in the late hours of the night.

Date: 2011-06-17 02:29 pm (UTC)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.
Re: Hufflepuff
Date: 2011-06-17 02:30 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2011-06-18 05:26 am (UTC)2. This reminds of some kind of action adventure epic battle scene. It has that moment when things are just starting and then it builds up just how the fight scene would in a movie.
3. This song has a more rock/pop feel to it and is more ‘modern’ seeming than the last too. It sounds similar to stuff you here on alt rock or indie rock stations.
4. So far this song is reminding me of Run Lola Run. But that could just because it’s a techno-ish song as is pretty much all of that movie’s soundtrack. Though I guess halfway through it’s sort of like a modern Bollywood movie XD
5. This at first reminds of emo kids. It just seems pretty sad. And then it kinda has a bit of “Close Ecounters of the Third Kind” thrown in for a good mix.
6. This song seems to be the most upbeat out of the previous ones. For me, it seems like it would have been a good fit in the anime Samurai Champloo. And parts of it seem like they’d be really good for montages on crime shows. XD Ok, now it sounds a bit creepy and like it’d be used in some sort of slasher movie and now it’s upbeat again
7. The opening bit reminds me of the opening to another song but I can’t remember which one at the moment. After this opening it seems really futuristic, in my opinion.
8. This reminds me of running. And then it sort of reminds me of a carnival, but a kinda creepy one that you’d see in a horror movie. Or that video of the abandoned Six Flags New Orleans.
9. The beginning of this reminds me of a bunch of wild animals or some sort of weird crazy cult chant. Then it immediately reminds me of someone being chased/hunted down by a crazy cult.
10. This reminds me of either a computer commercial or one for a car. Specifically either of those commercials showing a speed up of their production inside factories. Or even those medical commercials that have people standing there with a bunch of swirly lines around them and a quote about –insert disease here-.
