Excellent movie! I need to re-watch sometime soon. I am very interested in Crusades history, and re-watching will light a fire under my butt to find some new things to add to my ever-growing historical reading list.

I have always loved this song, ever since first hearing it as a very young child. I didn't really fully understand it all then, being so young. But the melody always chilled me. The sadness was so profound, so heavy. It always stuck with me.
Being much older now, I've since looked up the history of the incident. And Gordon Lightfoot has here a song about it that is properly haunting, properly mournful. His lyrics are incredible, as is the melody itself. I've posted the video that I most prefer, as it doubles as a tribute, with news footage, photos, and radio communication.
Water...the great lakes, the seas. An element so powerful, so beautiful, so destructive, so merciless and unforgiving. I still feel that if past lives are a real phenomenon, one of mine was as a sailor.
Anyway, an awesome and horribly sad song:
Does any one know where the love of God goes
when the waves turn the minutes to hours?
Gordon Lightfoot - "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"

I have an admitted affinity for some Italian "pop" music - it's decidedly much better quality than American pop, in my humble opinion. Anyway, I found an appreciation for it while spending time in Italy, and I have a few favorite artists that I follow. One is Carmen Consoli. Love her voice and her melodies.
Carmen Consoli - "Non molto lontano da qui" ("Not very far from here")
I also have always loved this song, since hearing it on Cold Case or one of those kinds of shows. Something about it, I just really like.
Turin Brakes - "Future Boy"

Nikka Costa is another favorite. I haven't heard much by her that I haven't loved. This song is one of my most beloved. The lyrics are so beautiful, and the melody is equally haunting. In isolation, the strings would make for a terribly sad bit of music. But used in this composition, it's both sad and upbeat. Hopeful. Strange, in the best way.
Meet me in the stillness
Away from all this madness
I'll give you a piece of me
If you'll give me a moment
To let you into the corners of my mind
So I stand before you now
Faulty but not broken
Fragile like the break of day
And sometimes sad like words unspoken
But I'll let you in
I'll let you in to the corners of my mind
Nikka Costa - "Corners of my Mind"

Freaking LOVE Squirrel Nut Zippers. The instrumental part of this song, the first half, always reminds me of the Thieves Guild. Like, the Ragged Flagon. The smoke, the gloom, the leering glares, the eccentricity...it all coalesces in the music. I can't explain it.

Always nice to get a little look into the musical taste of others. Tonight for some reason Saharan Gazelle Boy is appealing to me. I guess it's the retro 80's sound...

Five Magics by Megadeth. Absolutely eveything about this song I love. Rust in Peace is Megadeth's best album, and in my opinion one the best albums to ever be made. Also, Tornado of Souls from the same album has possibly one the best guitar solos to have ever been made. Give it a listen, and you'll see what I mean
