GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING

Hi again!

Today I would like to present you the composition of French musician Alexandre Desplat, namely "Griet's Theme" from the film "Girl with a pearl earring". To be honest, I love the soundtracks... For me this is a real music and Alexandre Desplat is one of the best composers in the world. This opinion isn't groundless because this year he has won the Academy Award for his soundtrack to the film "Grand Budapest Hotel", and received seven additional Academy Awards nominations. 

But this time, I'll present you a composition that you can listen to below.

In my opinion this composition is very magical. It seem's to be calm and delicate, but a few seconds further it become more powerful and impressive. I have also the impression that the music is floating (thanks to the violins, I guess) and this make the composition very pleasant to the ear. 

I have to add that I don't remember this film. Really... I have seen it a many years ago, but of course you can listening a soundtrack without knowing a film! For me a film and a soundtrack aren't inseparable. The soundtracks should "live their own life" and be juge regardless of the films, because sometimes it happens that a bad film has a beautiful score. 

I hope you enjoy this composition! Please, tell me what is your favourite soundtrack, I'm very curious about that :)

Greetings,

EXILE

Hello everyone!

I would like to invite you to my world full of good music which is indispensable part of my life. I listen to music every day, in every free moment. It gives me a lot of happiness, respite and power, so I would like to share my passion with you!

The first song which a want to show you is the song called Sombody to die for of the British band Hurts, that (I suppose) most of you already knows. You can find this song on their second album called Exile.

In my opinion this is a very good composition full of emotions because this song talk about a desire to love and be loved. On the video clip you can also notice a lot of religious symbols like the cross which makes us think about the suffering and the sucrifice as well. That's way in this song the duet Hurts sings about love which can overcome the death. However, I must admit that, for me the music is more important than lyrics! That's why I listen to a lot of soundtracks and classic music. I appreciate very much the music for this song, because we can notice almost every instrument like piano, guitar or drum. I don't like the electric sounds so I'm glad we have here the pure music.
I hope you will enjoy this song and the next time I would like to show you something more classic and maybe more... sophisticated? :)
Let me know if you like this band or no (and why!)

Greetings,
Kornelia
