I have decided to use colour codes! Anything impt or something that i wqanna emphasize will be in neon blue....

And errr... ramblings will be in pink I guess???
Hmm.. So bored.... Will see how it works...

And so I have added the three LOTR soundtracks into my music library. Just letting it run on when I realise now why critics say that he has created one masterpiece, not three. When heard seperately, it cannot be denied that The Two Towers exudes the 'oomph' and prescence lacking in the other 2 soundtracks. However, I guess Shore's intentions was to allow the music to speak for itself in its subtle cues. From the Fellowhip, he lays down the groundwork for the later two soundtracks.Set against a rustic folk backdrop, Shore introducfes us to little sues which will eventually swell into its own main theme by the culmination of the trilogy. For instance, the 'fellowhip' cue has been expanded on, and eventually becomes one of aragorn's theme. The Shire/Hobbit theme is eventually used as a variated main theme in 'Samwise The Brave' in The Two Towers. More importantly, the three soundtracks move and flow into each other binding it together as a coherent whole. From the patchwork and introduction of themes in the first soundtrack, one is immediatly thrown into the battle in Helm's Deep in the Second Soundtrack. While the Rohan theme features most prominently in the second soundtrack alongside Gllum's song, one still draws links to the first soundtrack with the 'Treason of Isengard' echoed in 'The Uruk-Hai'. I must admit that I was disappointed on litening to the 'Return Of The King' soundtrack at first. After the 'oomph' of The Two Towers, I could not help but expect more grand choral arrangements depicting the last battle on Middle Earth. Until listening to three soundtracks played as a whole, I've finally understood that Shore has indeed lived up to the play on 'subtlety' for which he is known. The Return Of The King, while admittedly not as heart pounding as its predecessor, is no less majestic in its swell of voices. Naturally, The Return Of The King is a dead spoiler and pointer to the fact that t6he descendent of a line of Kings in exile has stepped forth and will reclaim the throne in the final battle of good and evil. As such, some gravity and the weight of Aragorn's responsibility as the King of Kins has to be injected into the music. Furthermore, a sense of weariness and a tinge of sorrow colours the third score, mirroring the trials which its characters have gone though. Think of the 4 hoobits far from home, Theoden's guilt at letting his country fall apart, Arwen's choice of love in exchanged for immortality, the departure of the elves from Middle Earth, and you get my point. Naturally, the music has evloved into a more mature, more reflective, evened out score, reflecting the character's maturity through their trials. Victory comes with a price which most characters have paid for in one form of other. And there you have it. 3CDs, 1 great film score.

So here I am, sitting in front of the telly, and watching Donald Trump fire someone.

I'm so annoyed, and somehow, I feel so tired and so drained.

I think I'm spending too much time out and everything, and as much as I love spending time with the gang and all, it feels as though its getting a little too much.

Anyhow, was having dinner with them, and Fels was saying that we should do something fun. Do something different.Haha! Watchin Queer Eye with then made me suddenly wanna do a wine and cheese day. Shall keep in in mind till the weather warms up.
