Who is Sigrid and Why is She the Next Big Thing in Music?

[pinball1970]

A tear jerker. I had my heart ripped out once and refused to ever fall in love again. I remain single to this day.

I make a point of listening to every song even all the Sigrid ones
I didn’t realize it was that song and the name did not ring a bell
I’ve always liked it without knowing what he said.
That is very sad Evo if that if the way you feel.
There are things and experiences of breath-taking beauty out there.
Just remember the smartest men will admit to understanding less about women than they do about QFT.
I am going to search a few a couple of bitter sweet songs for you
People rarely write good songs about feeling happy

I don't know how to waltz but I can imagine,



Generally good album,



Good song,

I enjoy a lot of classical, but the Blue Danube is definitely my fav.

Am also a huge Pink Floyd fan and "Wish you were here" and "Dark side of the Moon" definitely my fav albums of theirs

Yes ! another fav ... Tho I like the studio version better. It's just such a sharp and crisp sound

This is truly stunning ...

I think we are safe classical music

This is one of the most uplifting pieces of music I have ever heard, it makes want to get on a horse ride a horse into battle and I am terrified of horses! (headphones required play loud!)

another stunning piece of classical :)

haven't played that for a few years ... thankyou ,
brings tears to my eyes

Takes me back to my childhood when mom and dad took us kids to a film " ,this is New Zealand"
and that music was played as a you were in a aircraft view flying down mountain and river valleys
etc

Thanks Dave, yes, that's a much better version!

This is a song from the first record I listened to. There really is something special about vinyl.

Yes I think this was where kids were introduced to classical music in the 70s, not at school and not home (mum was not educated but had great taste)

The Sibelius one was from a current affairs program called, "This Week"

We also had this one, I found out much later that this was by a band called mountain

Funny it was on in NZ at the same time, some music is just great and everyone agrees no matter what era

This one scared me as a kid but I thought it was amazing too, I worked it out and was amazed it was just one chord with a descending bass, mainly.

Bach did one in Dm with a bass thing going on that had a similar part, could be the inspiration.

 

[pinball1970]

one more hopefully a few Brits will remember this

The first is pretty strange, I don't do opera, call me a heathen- I tried sorry

 

[pinball1970]

This was an advert for Bread!

Great song

Ok, I’ve been resisting posting these for awhile, but think I have to.





Let me know if these don’t work and I’ll try to find ones that will. I don’t know if anyone else has noticed but the “VEVO” videos and the “topic” videos don’t seem to work in some countries.

 

[pinball1970]

But... but...

No hate them, I've tried. I adore choral music (I sang in a choir) but I cannot get into opera. Not keen on solo type stuff either. Arias?Sorry showing ignorance here.

I like Mozart and love this, its all good but from 5.28 is just fantastic

Ok, but I had to post them , since I think they are awesome. And I love Carmen.

Me too, Requiem is one of my favorite classical suites.

Classics.

I think its the sound, vibrato? In choral it is more a block a wall of sound

That Foo fighters is funny! Rick Astley!? Brilliant

 

[DennisN]

Classics.

More electronic classics...

 

[pinball1970]

Classics.

Vangelis brilliant, he did some great stuff with Jon Anderson from Yes too

 

[pinball1970]

More electronic classics...

Love him!
there was one he did that I can't remember the name, it was a shuffle thing- this will drive me crazy!

 

[Voq]

Chorus music can be very powerful, sometimes it feels like some kind of primordial sound.
And yes Jean Michal Jarre <3

 

[DennisN]

And if you guys like electronic music you may be aware of this awesome track:
(from the album Air - Moon Safari)

They also did this beautiful track:

 

[Voq]

I know Air. Relaxing.

Maybe this one.

 

[pinball1970]

More electronic classics...

Its Oxygene! I thought that was different! No probs- enjoying that one now. thanks- years since I heard it

 

[BWV]

Here is a real electronic music classic from 1958


More recently, I like Tim Hecker a lot

 

[Voq]

Glad to hear the beginnings.
In last time i am into electronic sound again.

my love of classical and music in general comes from my mom, she taught me to read music and piano playing basics
I spent the 1970's, my teenage years, playing cornet in a brass band

I don't recognise any of those other tracks you posted

The first is pretty strange, I don't do opera, call me a heathen- I tried sorry

likewise hahaDave

 

[DennisN]

I have just heard this band for the first time today, Greta Van Fleet, and I think they sound really good:
(they were signed in 2017 and has only released two EPs)

 

[DennisN]

And two live performances with them:
