What are you listening to right now?

Holst's "The Planets" - I particularly :love: the "Jupiter" part!

Without doubt "Jupiter" is one of the most iconic pieces of music ever. Like, how many sections of it have been taken out and become famous in their own right?!

Absolutely love it.

Although I've heard most of the pieces loads of times, I've never managed to sit down and listen to the whole "Planet Suite" in one go. And that is something I have always wanted to do. Same with Vivaldi's "Four Seasons".

So, now that you've put the idea into my head again, I'll have to make the time soon.

^ Our local classical music station plays the "Mars" part from time to time. I :love: the whole suite - many different moods in it.
 
Rick James - "Super Freak"

And it is all because a certain member of this forum mentioned it in a Facebook comment that I looked it up! ;)

Never realised until now that "U Can't Touch This" by MC Hammer was a total rip off of another song (i.e. this song!)

The things you learn through being a fan of figure skating... :biggrin:

(...even if it is in a round-about way!)

I saw "Call Me by Your Name" this week. Cried my eyes out in the final 30 minute stretch. Not a single tear cry, but full breakdown, ugly sobs. So beautiful. One of the best coming of age, romance depicted on screen and the acting is just otherworldly.

So now I am listening to the soundtrack non-stop and cry again. Highly recommend the soundtrack and of course the film.

^ Oh I'm a big Sufjan Stevens fan. I'd read about this sound track but didn't realize it was out. Thanks for sharing.
 
Indiana - Blind As I Am

I love this song, but I also feel like it could be such a great program for a skater, whether exhibition or free skate...IDK...I just feel like it can.
 
I recently started listening to "Paradise" by Blue. I was watching the pairs FP (I'm pretty sure it was that) of the NHK Trophy on livestream and I heard the song be played while the scores were being calculated for one team. And I typed in some lyrics I heard and I found it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5URgWqd0cHc

Honestly this can work for figure skating. Either for competition or an exhibition finale program.
 
On a side note, I'm a huge fan of Arnór Dan, vocalist from Agent Fresco, he usually collaborates with other artists and I recommend you to listen to this song with the instrumental band Hugar.
Waves How I wish someone would skate to this. (There's also an instrumental only version).
