This post is just a collection of instrumental songs that I have come across over the last few years that have been on a loop on my playlist. They have been so, because they contain specific sections which became earworms for me when I heard them for the first time. Earworms are tunes which you keep hearing repeatedly 24x7 turning away your focus from anything for hours, days or even weeks.
1. Divenire - Ludovico Einaudi
When I first heard this song, my immediate reaction was that this song was Music 2.0 for me. It redefined how I could perceive a song. Even without any lyrics the song is equivalent to a full length feature film. It was packed with all varieties of emotions with its changes and its general flow. The song magically maintains a theme through a constant base tune while conveying so much through the changes. It has action, romance, tragedy a pre-climax, a climax and everything in between.
2. The Queen of All Everything - OTT
This is without an ounce of doubt the trippiest song I have come across in the recent past. There hasn't been a time, that this song came up and feeling of gratitude hasn't run through me for the guy who introduced me to the works of OTT. Like many other trippy songs, this one has the ability to soak you with nature. The song seems to me be roughly composed of 2 sections, the second one starting with the progressive beats somewhere midway and continuing till the end. A pleasant surprise is the source of the soulful echo you hear through the song which people more often than not aren't able to guess unless they see a live performance video.
Who doesn't recognize the genius of Hans Zimmer and Christopher Nolan in their master stroke docking scene in Interstellar where Cooper [Matthew McConaughey] urges the TARS to help him to dock to the exploded and spinning Endurance. Though we know that the scene and the soundtrack were perfect in every sense, Tom Grosset's drum remix adds some extra flavour to the tune. Many of us who love percussion, often add our own beats from the anxiety we experience from such epic music. Tom Grosset leaves no stone unturned adding beats which makes our heart race and remind us of the original experience we had when we watched the scene for the first time.
4. Stranger Things Theme Song Remix - by C418
Ok, just like (3), this one is probably not for those who do not have the context of where the original soundtrack is from. So if 'Interstellar' or 'Stranger Things' (season 1 to be specific) didn't happen to you, then whatever I say won't make any sense. Stein and Dixon hit the nail on the head with their title track for Stranger Things. The synth based tune is a definite earworm for anyone who has watched the show. C418 with this remix gives you that additional kick that you needed after you heard the original piece during the show which lasts for roughly a minute.
More to come...
