I've posted before how the big three are what I enjoy the most, well except for golf which really does rank above the big three of music, books, and movies.
I was reminded again today how valid this really is for me while sitting at the nook that separates my kitchen and living room enjoying my breakfast and reading on my iPad.
I was reading a freshly downloaded free eBook titled "Wrong Text, Right Love" by Claudia Burgoa. Yes, another romance story, sue me but being as single as I am these days means I need to live vicariously through books since my own experiences have been far and few between lately thanks to that whole pandemic thing we are living in at the moment.
So in the book, the main male character is working from home, sounds so much like me so far, and thinks how the music he has playing in the background could be misconstrued to sound like classical but is actually an instrumental written by RaminDjawadi, from the Game of Thrones Soundtracks to name a few, and that made me do a little research and download a song called "Light of the Seven" that is an amazing work, one I highly recommend you take a moment and listen to on your own.
So now I've downloaded a few of his albums and find them very easy to have playing in the background while reading or probably even working.
So here is proof positive that one art form can feed an interest in another, allowing us, mainly me, to continue to expand my portfolio and enjoy while doing nothing more than getting through another day.
As for the book......I'm enjoying it immensely and appreciate how Claudia is building the story. The odds are good I'll be buying some of her other books as I can never have enough ready to go when I finish off a book.
I think this goes without saying but will put it out there once again......I receive no compensation in any form from the artists, whether musical or literary, that I recommend. Not saying I would be averse to being offered some compensation but as of this moment, I'm making these recommendations solely based on my own enjoyment. If I was ever to receive compensation I can assure you that I would not allow it to sway my opinion one way or another, I'd still tell you if I thought something was good enough to spend your hard-earned money on or total shit and to be avoided.
My name is Marcus and these are the stories around my ongoing attempts to date, survive a pandemic, master the perfect 8 iron from 130 yards, and experience my very last first kiss.
Today's musical suggestion is "Light of the Seven" by Ramin Djawadi from his Game of Thrones Season 6 soundtrack. Did you really expect something else after I've hyped him the post? Silly reader lol
Questions, comments, or even an offer to compensate me for reviewing a book or album, what it could happen, can be sent to me at ooasm2018@gmail.com
