Heroic Music

So you are the man behind the goat.

I am a goat in the sense that my astrological sign is capricorn. If that’s what you mean, then yes.

The following must be posted. It’s too good not to be posted.

Don’t you have to be gay to appreciate this stuff?

No, it is not necessary to be gay in order to appreciate this kind of music. In fact, the word “gay” being synonymous with the word “happy” should indicate to you that gay people prefer to listen to happy music, such as Vengaboys, and this is in no way, shape or form a happy kind of music. As you can tell all by yourself, it is pretty sad.

What is necessary, then, in order to appreciate this kind of music that is, is to not be a barbarian. And you are a barbarian. You being a barbarian can be observed from the simple fact that you are nothing but a troll who does nothing on this forum but post snipe. You are a post sniper and post snipers are, believe it or not, barbarians.

Studies in fact show that Internet trolls – which includes post snipers such as yourself – are narcissists, psychopaths and sadists.

This makes perfect sense! It makes perfect sense that a psychopath such as you – and being a psychopath we all know means having no feelings at all – is utterly incapable of appreciating the kind of music that is all about feelings.

I hope this clears it up for you.

There’s no shame in being gay these days, Magnus, there’s no need to be so touchy about it.

What part of the post do you not understand?

Here, let me link you to another article:
selfcarehaven.wordpress.com/201 … -trolling/

And here’s a quote:

The difference with you is that you are not even providing any kind of content. You are just 1) personally attacking, 2) persisting and 3) stalking. You stripped all of the bullshit and reduced everything to pure unadulterated trolling.

How do narcissists maintain the image that they are in actuality not narcissists?

By applying the logic of elimination. That is to say, not by honestly looking at who they are, but by looking at who they are not. In this way, they can show and prove both to themselves and others that they are not a narcissist of a kind A, nor of a kind B, nor of a kind C, nor of many other kinds. But without ever ceasing to be narcissists. This is because they always leave out, or skip, the narcissist of their own kind. Even better if it’s a new kind that has yet to be pegged by medical establishment.

On the bright side, here’s something not really heroic, but still quite idealistic:

I kind of regret saying that Epica’s cover of “Memory” is epic, because it isn’t really, it’s too metronomic and generally not as great as Elaine Paige’s.

Susan Boyle’s version is also better than Epica’s:

Still, nothing beats, and can possibly beat, Elaine Paige’s version. It’s just too good.

Nobody could convince me that a man saying this is not gay. There’s just no way.

Well, we still have Two Steps from Hell to counter-act that.

If TSFH is not masculine enough, how about this?

Or this?

A bit monotonous but can be salvaged.

Then we have TSFH again . . .

For Hairball and the like:

“['T]his is not the danger of the noble man, that he might become one of the good, but a churl, a mocker, a destroyer.
'Alas, I knew noble men who lost their highest hope. Then they slandered all high hopes. Then they lived impudently in brief pleasures and barely cast their goals beyond the day. Spirit too is lust, so they said. Then the wings of their spirit broke: and now their spirit crawls about and soils what it gnaws. Once they thought of becoming heroes: now they are voluptuaries. The hero is for them an offense and a fright.
‘But by my love and hope I beseech you: do not throw away the hero in your soul! Hold holy your highest hope!’
Thus spoke Zarathustra.” (Kaufmann translation, “On the Tree on the Mountainside”.)

For Magnus:

“[P]recisely for the hero is beauty the hardest thing of all. Unattainable is beauty by all ardent wills.
A little more, a little less: precisely this is much here, it is the most here.
To stand with relaxed muscles and with unharnessed will: that is the hardest for all of you, ye sublime ones!
[Continued in my signature.]”

Magnus, I like your taste in music. It definitely has a heroic quality to it. Really like the Epica and Two Steps from Hell stuff. I don’t know if I listen to a lot of music that’s up to par with this heroic aesthetic, but I’ll think on it.

Okay, what about Enya’s May It Be or Jeremy Soule’s theme to Skyrim?

Skyrim theme is great.
Sounds a bit Russian.
Very very proud.
Can you imagine the choreography for it?
Can you imagine the moves men would do to it?
It’s exactly what I consider “epic” or “heroic” or “victorious” type of music.
There are some details I’d like to fix, but in general, yes that would be it.

Reminds me of this:

A bit repetitive but that can be fixed.
The direction is right.

Skyrim theme deserves full exposure:

Commandos had an epic soundtrack in general but this one indubitably stands out as the best.

Hans Zimmer’s mastery:

Very soft at the beginning but at 2:25 it suddenly transforms itself into an epic melody that unfortunately does not last long enough.
