Songs That Just "Get to You"

So I really like the band For King and Country and when I was in the Philippines I was able to download certain videos from YouTube and play them offline (a feature thats only available with YTRed in America, but it was was working without that in the Philippines) and though I got a lot of Kpop I also got a lot of For King and Country. And I've listened to both of their studio albums and some extra songs they've done too and they are great! Just today I was listening to Crave again, and the song "Missing" just "gets to me" if you know what I mean. I heard it first in the Philippines and I was going through... a time and dealing with emotions and stuff and it just really got to me and now, even though I'm mostly over it I'm still reminded and it still gets to me.

     As much as I love dance songs that have cool beats and make you feel "turnt" I guess, the ones that I tend to love even more as time goes on are the more ballad-y songs with great melodies and great vocals and lyrics that I can relate to or at least remind me of a time when I did relate to them. And "Missing" is and I can tell, will be, one of those songs.

     Other songs that I have such a great love of are, a lot of musical songs actually XD I love musicals like Cats, and I therefore love "Memory". I love Joseph and his Technicolor Dreamcoat and I really love "Close Every Door" and "Any Dream Will Do". I love Les Mis and... actually, almost all the songs in there, but especially "Bring Him Home"and "On My Own". I love ALL of Phantom of the Opera, and I guess I first got "the feels" for this type of song by watching Phantom. Like come on! How can you not feel sad for the Phantom, even though he's not been a very nice person in his life... The songs man, they get to you! I love to sing a long to all of them! XD I get really passionate about all the Phantom's lines and "All I Ask of You" XD especially the Reprise where the Phantom says "You will curse the day you did not do, all that the Phantom asked of YYYOOOOUUUUUU" XD That's my fav line in the whole thing!!! I also really like "Wishing you were somehow here again". Man, the whole thing, I love the whole thing! Also, fun fact, Phantom of the Opera is the first movie I can remember crying over. I was watching it with my grandma... it was not the first time I had watched it, but something in me really felt sorry for the Phantom (when before I had routed for Raoul) and I was just sooooo sad when Christine chose Raoul (though I totally get it, trust me I do, but in the moment, as a kid, it was like WWWHHHYYYY) and he breaks all the mirrors and stuff and dissapears. Yeah, I wanted on cry, but I wasn't about to do that in front of others! XD Anyway, I def noticed that after that I realized I got really attached to certain types of songs like that. It was a big moment for me, emotionally, I guess XD Looking back.

     I also got really attached to anime songs especially the ones from my two favs: Code Geass and Last Exile. Those are my two favorite animes and I love the songs that are used in their openings and closings. Those are probably my fav because my two favorite characters both die in them... Actually I've never seen it that way, but that might be a reason why they're really stuck with me. In Code Geass my fav is Lelouch and in Last Exile my fav is Alex Row. Sorry if that's a spoiler XD But they are both super old animes now and I think its fair game. XP

     Lord of the Rings! I really sentimental about all the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit credit songs and the soundtracks as a whole. I can literally cry just listening to "Into the West" or "The Last Goodbye". I love all those songs, even the creepy Gollum song for Two Towers, I just love them all and nothing can quite lift my spirits like hearing the hobbit theme songs when they are in the Shire. I love how happy their theme is and its just so beautiful! I also love the triumphant songs like when they win the wars or they light the beacons or Legolas, Aragorn and Gimli are tracking the Urukhai. Man, those songs!!!! I love them sooooo much! <3

     This post is getting long XD I love talking about music and thinking and listening to my favorite stuff :) So for now Imma just say Toodles and I'll talk to ya later! :D
