Reth London Grammar - Rooting For You
2:15+ I chose this song because it really gave me goosebumps the first time I listened to it once the instrumentals kicked in at 2:15 and her voice is stunning and the orchestra is really amazing especially the strikers

Ludwig van Beethoven • 5th Symphony (1st Movement)
0:17+
This week I decided to go in a classical direction. During the previous instrument challenges, no one decided to send a classical song (even though, to be fair, I doubt any classical guitar compositions exist) so I thought I'd give it a shot. This particular movement is one of my favorite classical pieces and probably also one of the most iconic ones. I sent it to another contest (Retro WWWSC) a few months ago and was unsatisfied with the result so I'm giving it another try because in my opinion this masterpiece deserves a LOT more recognition.

CAND ICE AGNES OBEL • "THE CURSE" (1:30+) (S05E02, Pull My Strings)
And the people went into their hide, they oh From the start they didn't know exactly why, why Winter came and made it so all look alike, look alike Underneath the grass would grow, aiming at the sky
It was swift, it was just, another wave of a miracle But no one, nothing at all would go for the kill If they called on every soul in the land on the move Only then would they know a blessing in disguise
The curse ruled from the underground down by the shore And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before The curse ruled from the underground down by the shore And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before
Tell me now of the very souls that look alike, look alike Do you know the stranglehold covering their eyes? If I call on every soul in the land on the move Tell me if I'll ever know a blessing in disguise
The curse ruled from the underground down by the shore And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before And the curse ruled from the underground down by the shore And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before |
This challenge was a good time for me to push myself more, into finding something outstanding. Agnes Obel is no stranger to the forums, or generally, as one of the most talented singers of her era. After thinking a lot, "The Curse" is a very fitting song to the theme and as a song it's very inspiring. The song has piano strings too, but the violin really stands out the most to whoever decides to take a full listen of the song! It might be a risk, but I am thrilled to do it and show what I can do!
