🎶 The Official TTF Music Thread! 🎶

Last month I posted a fantasy mini-epic from Australian artist DPR ian. Since then I've been going down a rabbit hole with the guy, discovering that piece was one chapter in a gigantic story evolving since his debut in a solo career just four years ago. I'll be posting some of the sequences soon -- probably in the Watching thread, as they're more like movies than "music videos" (he's a filmmaker, as well as a musician) -- but for the moment, I'll begin here, with a more "normal" song from the beginning:

I won't try to go into the imagery, except to say the eyeball at the beginning, and the shift from color to black and white at the end are significant, as are the lines "I'm getting to the surface" and the change in the line "I loved you -- he loved you", making the song even more poignant.

More to come.

Meanwhile, another lush romantic song from the lovely Miss Aguilar:

When fantasy franchises have better songs than 99% bands...

I just discovered this lovely little song by IU about missing a dear friend:

Okay, if original blues doesn't do it for you, how about some modern shredding?

Reminds me of GARNiDELiA, who also do anime OSTs:

No subs, but someone posted the lyrics in the comments section.

Originally released in 1981, The Kinks have shared a remaster of their single 'Destroyer', remastered by Ray himself. The track has long been regarded as the bands most self-referential song, with fans remarking the song could be viewed as a sequel to the groups infamous song 'Lola'.

“We recorded this at the Power Station studio in Manhattan, I shouted out the chords to the band as we went through the song. The engineer recorded it, and it ended up being a master. Members of Blondie were recording in the next studio they stood in the hallway and must have thought we were playing “All Day and All of the Night” - Ray Davies on ‘Destroyer’.

Alongside the updated version of the track is a brand new animated video which is available to watch now!

Sharp-eyed fans will catch a little nod to the recent animated video for You Really Got Me. 1964’s Ray, Dave, and Mick side by side with their 1981 counterparts. A full-circle moment, perfectly capturing the spirit of The Journey series.
