Feelings about purely instrumental music? I got into it by way of listening to enough video game OSTs that lyrical music now feels like a genre I have to like, break into. Interesting because for most people alive today, music inherently includes lyrics and meaning derived from them.

I got into music in general through instrumental music, really. Two Steps from Hell, Audiomachine, and Really Slow Motion are still some of my most commonly listened to artists.

Those three belong to a niche category of artist that basically makes music for trailers. Like, movie trailers. You have almost certainly heard Audiomachine's music before, if you haven't been living under a rock. (No shade if you do, in fact, live under a rock. Sounds like an ideal way to live in this day and age.)

Two Steps from Hell became popular enough early on among regular people who just, enjoyed their songs, to switch over to primarily making music for regular human listeners, rather than movie trailers. They are truly an experience, and do things like introduce dubstep and electric guitar solos into what otherwise sounds like a "classical" orchestral track.

Other good artists that roughly fall within this category include Valentin Weist, BrunuhVille, Twisted Jukebox, Kari Sigurdsson, and City of the Fallen.

Shit i'm going to have to make a detailed list of recs huh.

Two Steps from Hell...okay. I'm going to focus on them because TSFH really was what introduced me to how powerful music could be to just wreck your shit body and soul. Their music is epic as in "gives you full-body chills and makes you feel like a god" transcendent.

Compared with most of the others, TSFH is a lot more varied both in tone and in just...the range of weird stuff that they do. Some of their songs are completely unique sounding and impossible to compare to anything else.

ok all right just bear with me

"epic" adventurous dragon riding with dual wielding laser swords: High C's, Clock Tower Parade, Never Give Up On Your Dreams, Flight of the Silverbird, Victory, Realm of Power, Impossible, Fall of the Fountain World, Skulls and Trombones, Norwegian Pirate, Color the Sky

Narrative/character sketch stuff: Blackheart, Caradhras, Dangerous* (*has lyrics!)

Tour de force through a Realm: Amaria/Welcome to Amaria (same song, released twice under diff names), Big Sky, Science, Starfall, Phantom

Dramatic Dark Tunes For Villainy: Chase the Light, Queen of Crows, The Raven Talks Backwards, Stormkeeper, Breath of Cold Air, 1000 Ships of the Underworld, Asimov

what the FUCK is this aka songs that transcend normal categorization more than usual: Casablanca, Future Fortress, Lost in Las Vegas, All is Hell that Ends Well, Replicate, Winterspell

Nothing prepares you for realizing that TSFH has hundreds of songs and somehow almost every single one of them is the best song you've ever heard and compels you to listen to it over and over again. It's madness.

There is no way to fully describe Two Steps from Hell. "Genre" is as dust sifting through frail mortal fingertips to them. You will listen to dark orchestral Viking EDM dubstep pirate metal with Latin choir and you will FUCKING LIKE IT.

Burn the page for me

I cannot erase the time of sleep

I cannot be loved so set me free

I cannot deliver your love

Or caress your soul so

Turn that page for me

I cannot embrace the touch that you give

I cannot find solice in your words

I cannot deliver you your love

Or caress your soul

— Two Steps From Hell, "Star Sky"

Part 1 || Part 2

Why do I think Two Steps From Hell's songs would fit Worldless pretty well, especially the duo?

My personal fit for them might be Flight of the Silverbird-

The first time I heard this song I fell out of my chair. At work. People asked if I was all right. I was not. The name of the band is likely familiar to any who's been reading my Dragon Age stuff as 'two steps from Falling' is the phrase used to describe a spirit or demon balanced between two Virtues.

Justice and Vengeance.

Wisdom and Pride.

This song here is why. It brought forward such a strong sense memory in me, for one long terrible moment I remembered just so much.

This is Justice being dragged out of the Fade, experiencing the whole mortal Realm for the first time, the pounding war drums of a Cause, and then finding his musical counterpoint in the french horn. Anders. The two of them Entwining into one vast chaotic swirling symphony.

I hate the trend that exists in some genres of music for women musicians to be dressed to the nines, while men are in the blandest clothes you've ever seen.

Look at this. This guy should be sinking through the floor with shame. This should be illegal. He should go to jail for this.

Coffee Hour

LAST SONG, 11/27/2023

Querie: the title of the last song you listened to is the epitaph on your tombstone

Me: (Literally true): Two Steps From Hell, Myth

My Stunt Double du Jour tells me Two Steps From Hell is actually the name of the group that performs music for movie trailers. I thought it was the name of the tune. I, obviously, made a grave error. In any case, the title of the tune I last listened to is (apparently) Myth. A suitable epitaph for my life. As a patriot, would that make me Myth America?

Two Steps fom Hell inspiring me to write the worst things ISTG.

"Fangs"is going very well for my pattern of writing once in almost never... And then I go listen to some songs I forgot existed.

And "Dangerous" hits me like a truck:
