Title: Music that makes you want to be Knightly.
Post by: Thorsteinn on 2011-05-03, 01:52:49: What Music makes you want to be Knightly? What makes you go "Yeah, I can do this"? What Inspires you?

I fully admit that there's a lot that does it for me, in fact it get's kind of eclectic in that way, but here's a few:

Disturbed- Indestructible.

John Butler Trio- Revolution.

Matisyahu- One Day

And yes, even Flogging Molly seems to do it too.

Post by: Thorsteinn on 2011-05-05, 05:56:37: This song sets my soul to ease. If I were to listen to it before a fight then my mind would be still, without preference for this or that. I could face any challenge with better clarity.

Still waiting for others to post <hint, hint>.

Well this is just a sample of my musical tastes, if you think this is too much on my part, well you haven't seen the rest!

Post by: Sir William on 2011-05-18, 21:33:54: For some reason, when I hear this song I get the irresistible urge to don armor, gird sword and wreak havoc on an unsuspecting populace. Mayhap I was a reaver in another life.

I like the way this Parrot performs this one.

Post by: SirNathanQ on 2011-05-19, 01:38:04: I love Arcana! Although Por Ti Volare is my single combat song....
Title: Re: Music that makes you want to be Knightly.
Post by: Sir Ulrich on 2011-05-19, 01:41:10: Yeah Arcana is really nice, I prefer neoclassical to traditional classical due to the more epic quality as well as it being dark at times.

This is the song that got me into Gregorian/church type music. Somewhat creepy but I really like it.

Sir Ulrich, I've never heard that before but I do like it. Quite a bit. There was a game I used to play that had a really great soundtrack to it...but I can't recall the game. I can almost hear it.

I like it. It reminds me of this:

This is not the best music, but I love AC, and the video sync to the music is very well done:

Post by: Sir William on 2011-05-19, 16:56:49: Rhydian Roberts...first I've heard of him but I'm digging his vocals...O Fortuna is one of my all-time favorites!

These ones do it for me too...not sure why, but especially like listening while driving.

Post by: Sir William on 2011-05-19, 17:32:15: I'm listening to Celtic Woman on YT - first time I've ever heard her but I am LOVING her vocals! A stirring song can make the blood go hot, no?

She sorta reminds me of Annie Haslam of Renaissance...I remember listening to them growing up as they were a favorite of my Mom's...her vocal range was nigh unmatched among her contemporaries, ethereal and soul stirring. Hard to find their stuff on YT because a lot of their songs were REALLY long...Scheherzzade, for example, had a running time just short of 30 minutes!

Here's an excerpt - a medley of 'Song of Scheherazade (only the Prince and Princess portion) and Ocean Gypsy and even this is not their best recording.

Post by: Sir James A on 2011-05-19, 17:44:22: Tao of the Machine is awesome. That was my favorite song from the Need For Speed games. Oddly enough, it was in Naruto too.
Title: Re: Music that makes you want to be Knightly.
Post by: Sir William on 2011-05-19, 19:21:14: I have noticed that the really inspiring songs tend to get used more than once...which is cool because video game soundtracks are how I get exposed to music I might not otherwise listen to.

Post by: Joshua Santana on 2011-05-31, 16:41:00: Now that I get the point of this thread. I know that I over did it in my first post, but I am impressed with the song selections!

Here is a song that does make me Knightly

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgKoyL4HW7o[/youtube]

Bittersweet but what can I say, I'm addicted to the lyrics of the song. This is what Knights of Today must say to their loved ones/wives before they either go questing or making a promise of loyal love (on a more subtle note).

Hope you enjoy it!

Post by: Justin on 2015-06-30, 18:32:32: The song that motivates me the most is Breis' remix of the X Vs Zero battle theme from Megaman X5 & 6. That song is awesome! I play it (and many other remixes by him) whenever I go for a run. I could definitely go into battle with that song raging in the background.
