<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nathan B., post: 4565836, member: 112852&quot;]And now for the non-classical.&nbsp; Well, sort of.&nbsp; I like the Beatles, Abba, certain U2 pieces, everything by Loreena McKennitt (whose &quot;Lady of Shallot&quot; I was introduced to by my last high school English teacher), as well as Enya, and so on.&nbsp; I also love <i>all </i>the music of John Denver, as well as <i>all</i> the music of Israel Kamakawiwoʻole.&nbsp; There is something very gentle and soothing about the latter&#039;s music.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I also love Leonard Cohen&#039;s &quot;Hallelujah&quot;--and some of the classic covers of it.&nbsp; There&#039;s a short playlist I made <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7yC5T_5UHA-98BYwiAYwY6_B2LTJRPzh" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7yC5T_5UHA-98BYwiAYwY6_B2LTJRPzh" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>Recently, I came across Regina Spektor&#039;s pop music.&nbsp; I&#039;ve listened to a lot of her music to find what I think are her ten best songs, which you can listen to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWXWivwhi14&amp;list=PL7yC5T_5UHA-cbmtdD76nto0jBN8ouvS_" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWXWivwhi14&amp;list=PL7yC5T_5UHA-cbmtdD76nto0jBN8ouvS_" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s a Scandinavian techno composer and DJ named Alan Walker.&nbsp; I like a few of his pieces, but I like them a lot more when Youtuber David Solis plays them on the piano with a synthesizer in the background.&nbsp; Here&#039;s an excellent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efxBIgVjGsY&amp;list=PL7yC5T_5UHA87xECR3btX5qhgnD6nRzwn&amp;index=4" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efxBIgVjGsY&amp;list=PL7yC5T_5UHA87xECR3btX5qhgnD6nRzwn&amp;index=4" rel="nofollow">example</a>.&nbsp; This is very elegant music that could be suitable for a climactic bronze- or iron-age battle scene in a movie.&nbsp; It&#039;s hard to believe that Alan Walker&#039;s techno piece &quot;Faded&quot; was the inspiration for it!&nbsp; You can listen to these and other pieces in this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7yC5T_5UHA87xECR3btX5qhgnD6nRzwn" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7yC5T_5UHA87xECR3btX5qhgnD6nRzwn" rel="nofollow">playlist</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also love the Youtuber pianist Ducci&#039;s covers of various pop songs.&nbsp; I haven&#039;t made a playlist of my favourites yet for him, but his channel is <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVaPMyHyLp5ceYk3mbUqBzQ" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVaPMyHyLp5ceYk3mbUqBzQ" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, another obsession: I love U2&#039;s song &quot;With or without you.&quot;&nbsp; It turns out that this song sounds AWESOME on classical instruments!&nbsp; (At least to me, anyway!)&nbsp; You can listen to a playlist I put together <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7yC5T_5UHA_mL_sEceWbsBjRY_rToAUK" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7yC5T_5UHA_mL_sEceWbsBjRY_rToAUK" rel="nofollow">here</a>.&nbsp; Listen to them all: don&#039;t assume they&#039;re all the same.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
