Skateable, Never-Before-Used Music

[creaturelover]

I'm still shocked Game of Thrones hasn't been used more frequently, such beautiful music and a variety of different characters/stories to portray.

:agree: this right here is my biggest question in all of figure skating!

Suggest this for Mikhail Kolyada, or for Plushy's return. It would suit them both.

Just heard a song called Gracie's theme beautiful lyrical style, with some drama. Might be a fitting piece for Gracie.

I think it might have been slated to some, but I love the drama of the planet series.

1) As some of the others I think Harry Potter would be interesting, I'm pretty surprised it is not very popular among skaters.

2) Could you tell where exactly you've found it? I follow gymnastics but not so closely, still I think I've heard this somewhere already and I'm really curious

It was Dutch Gymnast Lieke Wevers in 2015 and 2016 She performed it beautifully.

I can't believe no one has mentioned 4'33". Though, sadly, it could only be performed by men given the allowed free skate duration.

The music of Harry Potter and Star Wars for starters..there's more to John Williams than just Schindler's List you know.

LOL, my little 6 YO boy is skating to "Cantina Song" from Star Wars. Probably not appropriate for a top level skater though

I would love to see more skaters use ambient, post-rock music in their programs. Not the easiest kind of music to skate to though.

Here is one of my favorites:
Hammock - Ten Thousand Years Won't Save Your Life

Christina Gao used Hours for her SP in 2009-2010. An Austrian skater also used it during the 2013-2014 season.

Speaking of Christina Gao, someone should bring back "Close Without Touching" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmrMJFLIXB0

How about La La Land music. You could start with Mia and Sebastian's Theme and have the second half with faster songs like Someone in the Crowd. Could be good for a backloaded program.

The entire Yuri!!! On Ice skate song album.

I mean, technically no one has skated any programs for them, and I highly doubt using the choreo from the anime counts.

 

[daphenaxa]

I want someone to skate to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F35yL5xrPlg I am absolutely obsessed with this song at the moment.
I want someone with great skating skills and "liquidy" movement to be able to recreate the atmosphere of it. Papadakis/Cizeron, Uno, Takahashi. Maybe Sotnikova.


Also +300 for skaters skating to the YOI soundtrack. I would die. The soundtrack is really great too.

Shawshank Redemption Theme Song and the 'So was Red' song:

'My Name is Lincoln' from the movie The Island (horrible movie - music was good though!):

Schindler's list is not only about the main theme. Remembrances is a very emotional and engaging piece that would be perfect for skating.

Agree, Schindler's List's entire sound track had fabulous music in it that would be great for skating.

 

[invisiblespiral]

I don't think anyone's skated to the IB OST, but I think it would make for some great programs.

I would LOVE to see someone skate to music from the Westworld soundtrack. It's full of drama but piano-based, so lends itself well to skating in my opinion.
Some of my favorite pieces:
Paint It Black (Westworld): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iZ9JRVmJ5o
Exit Music (For a Film) (Westworld): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7pXzeACwf8

DD is using Paint it Black for the short. I wanted the Westworld version, but the choreographer insisted on the old Stones instrumental version.
