Music you wish someone would skate to

[DizzyFrenchie]

Although not the same situation, I made a fan video a few weeks ago (the first one I had made for years), and it got blocked in four countries. Including one of the big markets for figure skating, Japan.

It's so frustrating. The hours I spent making the video (which were a lot, because I am not very confident or experienced at doing it), and then only to be told after I had uploaded it that it wouldn't be available everywhere.

It would be nice if YouTube could provide a button on the official videos that could tell you if there would be restrictions if you used that music / those pictures in a video. And then you could choose to use something more acceptable in advance before you make the video.

Sorry for going off topic.

I understand that registered copyright holders have a Youtube tool to seek potential copyright violations, but some abuse of this power — there are even scams, but scammers usually allow the video, claiming 100% of the revenue, they have no interest in blocking it.
Normally blocking a video generates a message from Youtube with a possibility of contestation, maybe you're still within the delays?

I think I've mentioned this before in similar threads, but how about " The Moldau" by Smetana?

I know it's a little early to make music suggestions for next season, but especially since so many programs this season have felt like trotting out the old warhorses/recycling programs and music from past years, it's been on my mind and I bet I'm not the only one fantasizing about programs to music that's never been used before or so rarely/unsuccessfully (such as a program that was ditched partway through the season) that it would still feel fresh and exciting.

I'll start by mentioning the theme from the 1995 remake of the movie Sabrina, which has a lovely theme by John Williams that is almost exactly the correct length for a free skate! I remember Eunsoo Lim had a program using it, but I don't think she kept it beyond a couple competitions, and I'm not aware of it being used by others. I think this would be a lovely program for Isabeau Levito, Rino Matsuike, or a similarly elegant skater who can project a certain bright hopefulness.

It was also used by Nahyun Kim back in 2019 season.

i know the Scorpions are all greatful to figure skating if they can afford confortable retirement homes, but i think David Gilmour deserves the same

V/M used Wish You Were Here in an Exh piece.

A professional skater did a program to Comfortably Numb back in the late 90s/Early 00's but I can't remember who it was. I want to say Gary Beacom, but I may be incorrect on that.

Has anyone ever skated to music from Goldfrapp ? You will find this bizarre but I like that kind of music... Strange for a classical pianist right ?

No, sadly.

Hana Mašková used it in 1968. (Not that it matters but) I used it in the 90's, but IDK of any others since.​

I initially felt adapting Pink Floyd is ambitious.
But soon I realize that there are already cases to skate to DSOTM, WYWH and The Wall.

The solution for this forum is to just give the name of the piece and a link, so one could search it, it would be nice in case of a block or non working embedding.

Some great Canadiana:

And in Inuktitut:

Not sure how the throat singing would sound over an arena sound system, but it's awesome.

Talking about northern lights, I remember that I wanted to suggest this the previous time but I don't remember if I did:
Orbina by Kai Sombi & Auli
(co-project from Lapland & Latvia)



In case I suggested it already - I believe it's still awesome!

Another piece of ethno trance music, this time with a Spanish touch - the mystery of water as told in

Secreto de agua by Blanca Paloma

For a different genre, I always wanted somebody to do a Screamin' Jay Hawkins medley.

I would suggest the song
I'm Lonely:

Ryan Jahnke, late 1990s short program, either his last junior season or first in seniors or both.

 

[4everchan]

Has anyone done the famous aria from Rusalka ?

Sure, it starts a bit slowly but then at 1:20 or so, it gets really into the song with the high notes and big phrases.

A-ha! I knew someone else skated to it but could not for the life of me, remember who lol. Thank you!

 

[Anna K.]

Talking about famous arias from lesser known operas: has anyone suggested Rachel, quand du Seigneur from Halevy's opera La Juive?

 

[RoundedBackCamel]

Has anyone skater to Fade into You by Mazzy Star? Preferably a ice dance team RD. They lost an opportunity with 90s theme music. You can get any 90s than this song. Plus some of the choices were SO 1980s this years! I guess they stretched the rules if in a movie soundtrack in the 1990s?

Beginning To Blue by Still Corners. I could see Chock and Bates using it.

Love Is Blue by Paul Mauriat. I can picture Isabeau Levito skating to it.

Way to dangerous, the Moldau does not freeze anymore

On a more serious note a wish that is likely to be granted next season: Huntrix! Yes, that's the girl band from KPop Deamon Hunters. I think "What it sounds like" already has the structure for a free. And "Golden" needs probably minor reshuffling to fit a short. I'm pretty sure both will be used next season. I even feel the possibility of a future warhorse here.
