The hellaciously fun action/horror hybrid ‘Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters’ hit theaters this week 10 years ago. 🍬🧙🏼‍♀️☠️

🖤~Song Of The Day~🖤

The song of the day is:     Flight -by- Hans Zimmer, Nick Glennie-Smith, Junkie XL, Atli Örvarsson

The challenge is to write something based off of this song, be it the name, the cover, or the tune itself. Let your imagination go wild and see where the music takes you.

Have at it Darlings!

Несуразный кусок человечины. Неуклюжий. Невозможный. Глупый. Ничего из себя не представляющий. Вот кто я. Конечно понятно почему такое бессмыслие не стоит внимания. Твоего тем более.

Darklina songs (part 2)

Part 1 here!💛🖤

11) Cinnamon Girl - Lana Del Rey

Even though the title is "Cinnamon Girl" this song reminds me of the Darkling and his pain so much. Like it's him talking truthfully or something. And it's him speaking to Alina.

"You try to push me out but I just find my way back in" (tether scenes??👀)

"If you hold me without hurting me, you'll be the first who ever did"

"Hold me, love me, touch me, honey. Be the first who ever did."😔

12) Midnight in the Garden - Atli Örvarsson

And now we go to the soundtracks 😍

'Cause sometimes you don't need lyrics to convey emotions.😌

This one reminds me of the name reveal scene in R&R. The moment where he says his name and she whispers it too. But it also reminds me of their first kiss.😭

13) Green Light - Craig Armstrong

Another gorgeous one and one of my most favorite soundtracks ever.

It gives the feeling when Alina and the Darkling were separated and sought each other's presence and company.

Anon, I really hope you like them and other people too!!😭😍❤️❤️

Thank you @there-is-just-me-myself-and-i for tagging me to post 10 songs I like with names in them 😊

I left it for a while because I couldn't think of song that didn't have my name in them (I have a playlist full of Sofías sue me)

This was fucking hard 🥲 I had to go through almost every playlist on my Spotify but hey! I managed to not just post Sofía's songs

A day like Winter

(in Autumn)

the 27th of november 2023 (the 88th day of meteorological Autumn as a mirroring of the 88 keys of a piano)

and a song

the 3rd track of [8] on the 2016 album Island Songs by Ólafur Arnalds

A 7-week journey across Iceland to record a series of compositions

Watch Raddir, where he collaborates with Hilmar Örn Agnarsson and Georg Kári Hilmarsson, father and son, featuring the South Iceland Chamber Choir

Raddir (Icelandic for “voices”)

it will never really matter how many cars are out driving, since i simply need to keep writing to invite into the instrumental womb of silence

(the inner room of thought)

where music is playing…

this is my True “calling”

And track #4 (with Atli Örvarsson, SinfoniaNord)

Öldurót

Watch Öldurót, where he collaborates with Atli, a composer who has returned to his home town after many years in Hollywood writing film scores, and the orchestra SinfoniaNord. The video is directed by Baldvin Z.

Barely 100km south of the arctic circle, the city of Akureyri nestles into Eyjafjörður. Snow capped mountains shelter the city from the harsh winds, where forest and botanical gardens flourish. This is the place composer Atli returned to, after many years in Hollywood writing film scores.

I am joined by my dear friend Atli, who has recently returned to Iceland after living and working as a film composer in Hollywood for the last 20 years. Also in collaboration with the wonderful SinfoniaNord, the recording took place in Akureyri at the newly built concert hall by the harbour. I was inspired by the huge windows on the side of the building that overlook the fjord. Öldurót is one of several Icelandic words we have for ocean waves.

Collaborator / Atli Örvarsson

Composer

“It’s that basic understanding you have with your own people, the little unspoken things which are so hard to define and quantify but constitute what we call a culture.”
