Music you have been waiting for to be used for an entirely too long time

[Kecasyl]

When?

There's at least few Jr's skating to it this season but I can't remember who.

Also, Ryan Bradley did an exhibition, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmEIgyGj5sU

Repeatedly hearing Lesley Gore's "You Don't Own Me" playing as The Handmaid's Tale wins all the Emmy awards tonight makes me think it would make a good SP for a woman who can sell it. I think it would have been a good piece for Ashely.

I have been rewatching Big Little Lies nonstop. The piano music used in their finale would make a great short program. Too bad Patrick is retiring. The music is called September Song, by Agnes Obel.

I would like Medvedeva to skate a competitive program to "Hey QT" at some point for two reasons:

First, because I like the song and I would love to see multiple skaters inspired to use PC Music tracks.

Second, because I would love to hear Averbukh's attempt to politically intellectualize the song. (I could attempt to do so, myself, but perhaps another time/never.)

So, I just heard the song, "Million Years Ago" by Adele today. Holy Crap why are skaters not rushing to this song???

I see it so well for Pairs, singles and even for dance.

Emotional, passionate, tells a story and has great nuances.

First I imagined a paired team skating to it, then singles, and I can also see a dance team doing this.

Its a mature song with a theme of Fear of life passing by

I wish someone would grab this song and do it justice, PRONTO!!!!!!

ADDED Later: Ive now listened to it a second time. SO powerful.. Slightly reminds me of "My All" by Mariah. Remember when Oksana did that with a telephone?

I would love to see Papadakis / Cizeron skating to some music by Agalloch. One of the pieces from their previous season LP was ''Haunting Birds'' by Nest that was a cover of the original from ... Agalloch. They're (or maybe were as they unfortunately disbanded last year) one of the most emotionally moving musical acts & evocative ones that I've witnessed. Profound & majestic. Most of their music is metal that I think is too overwhelming for Figure Skating but their folk / neofolk & post-rock pieces have potential for FS.

I highly recommend songs like Birch White, the ending has incredible atmosphere that can be translated by artists like these two. The outro can be unearthy & compliments cathartic experience.

I think Where Shade Once Was - it's possible to intermingle it with the previous piece.

Or ''A Desolation Song'' another acoustic song. Not sure whether the vocals and the lyrics would not create disharmony though. There's a ''****ing hope'' line in it. There's even something for those who love weather voiceovers included

I can't say ... I have been waiting for an entirely too long time for anyone to use this music as I know this music since 2011 and because it did not cross my mind its use in Figure Skating.

 

[SidelineSkater]

Not sure why I always think of a pairs SP when I hear Elle King's Exes and Ohs.

As a fan of big, sweeping orchestra/band compositions.

Make our Garden Grow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yC190XRAdzQ

Fire of Eternal Glory - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSO0Kx5b5q4

Elsa's Processional to the Cathedral - really starts building around :45 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tja-8vtllo

These last three have slow builds but a nice big finish!

Beethoven Symphony No. 7 Movement 1.

I have been rewatching Big Little Lies nonstop. The piano music used in their finale would make a great short program. Too bad Patrick is retiring. The music is called September Song, by Agnes Obel.

I recommended that for the Shibs some months ago after I watched that pivotal scene set to this piece in Big Little Lies.

I thought the score for Beasts of the Southern Wild, most notably "Once There Was a Hushpuppy", would make a remarkable free dance, especially for a younger/fresh team.

When?

Bebe Liang 2005 Nationals SP is my first time seeing someone skate to Harry Potter. She and choreographer Sarah Kawahara really were able to match the energy of the music.
