I find that music is rather soothing. It's calm, relaxing, meaningful . . . if you find the peaceful music for study time or while at work.
Or it can be quick, fast, scary, and overwhelming . . . perfect for a scary movie or horror flick.
Due to an awesome job where I can work from home, I have had plenty of time to scour youtube (okay not "plenty", I've barely scratched the surface) for some awesome music.
So - here are a few songs that I would like to share with you. Some of them are hour+ long, being compiled from various places.
Let's start out with some Gibli - this is a wonderful mix list that can send you back to awesome childhood memories.
Video Game music is rather awesome. Even if you don't play games the music can be rather catchy.
Movie Soundtracks will not be left out. There are some rather epic scores out there right now - I will try to add a few of my favorites. Dracula: Untold is one of my favorite movies and the music did not disappoint.
I couldn't not add this. I mean - just watch and you'll understand. *sigh*
Pretty - right?
You wouldn't believe how many concerts these guys have on youtube! This one in particular celebrates the early pioneers of the world.
I would be a sore musician if I didn't add some Jazz. I love this style of music. It's so classy, and soft, and awesome.
And I leave you with a man who does Rock covers of various songs. His phantom ones are my personal favorite. (All I Ask Of You)
What are some of your favorite songs to listen to?
What is the Go-To song for when you have a fantastic day?

Yesterday we celebrated the men and women who spend their lives protecting their country.
In honor of those who work tirelessly for the freedoms we have here is a list of songs that celebrate our great country:
(Yes, I know all of these are Mormon Tabernacle Choir - but find me another choir who can do these songs the justice they deserve. Leave me a comment in the section below.)
Armed Forced Medley
My Country, 'Tis of Thee
This Land Is Your Land
Hymn To The Fallen
America The Beautiful
This Is My Country
Battle Hymn of the Republic
Flag of the Free
The Stars and Stripes Forever
God Bless America
However you celebrated (if you did) - I hope you remembered those that came before us. Those that gave their lives so that we can live in freedom. Speak in freedom (or blog - hello Freedom of Speech). And have many opportunities to live out our lives in pursuit of freedom.
