DarkJade – To Know Me… Is to Know My Playlist
I came across this Site today… Actually, it was someone who had Clicked “Like” on one of my Poems I believe.
Ironically, they also used the Same Theme as This Blog… Which I hadn’t seen anywhere else so far.
They were a Poet who had a Music Player on Their Site, which started to play some lovely music as you entered the Site… And so I started thinking.
I actually have some “Optional” Music on my One Knight Site, but I’ve never had any here… Especially Music that starts as you enter the Site… Partly because I use Music and Videos on some of my Posts, but also because, each Written Piece has its Own Feeling Etc., and thus the music that comes on may not “Fit”.
However, I was so impressed with this Poet’s Choice of Music, that I realized, I really do want to continue to share my Musical Tastes with my Readers, as Music is truly the way to my Soul… And thus, “To Know Me… Is to Know My Playlist“.
Granted, I have already Written Several Pieces which include Music that I like, but this shall be my First Actual Playlist, with More to Follow. I shall Introduce you to My Playlist on this Post, but it will also be “Playable” on the New Music Player I’ve added to the Right under some of my Other Widgets, and/or Menus.
Also if you’d like access to this First Playlist, you can Simply Click This DarkJade Playlist
Thanks for Listening, and Enjoy
Song 1 – Tears For Fears (Everybody Wants to Rule the World (Live))
Song 2 – Linkin Park Live (Breaking the Habit)
Song 3 – Coldplay – Paradise live at Austin City Limits Music Festival, September 16th, 2011
Song 4 – The Police – Walking on the Moon (Live 1983) – Check Out Stewart’s Drumming
Song 5 – Red Hot Chili Peppers (Californication Live at Slane Castle) – You gotta check out the beginning of this Video
Song 6 – Pearl Jam (Black) – Love Pearl Jam, this guy gave his soul
Song 7 – The Beatles
Song 8 – Mozart – “Eine kleine Nachtmusik” Allegro
Song 9 – Tchaikovsky – Sleeping Beauty – Forgive the French Speaking Animation in this, lol
Song 10 – Puccini – Nessun Dorma (Pavarotti, NY 1980) – Only one of the Greatest Songs of all time, Written by one of my Favorite Composers of all time, Puccini… Sung by none other than Pavarotti
Song 11 – Orbital (Halcyon and On and On) – I’ve often said if you want to know what my Soul Sounds like, than Listen to this Song… The way this Song “Sounds”, is how I “Feel” about Love, Life, Thought, and Emotion in General
Song 12 – The Black Eyed Peas (with Slash and Usher) – Put this one in for fun… I definitely have a soft spot for Pop, can’t take life seriously all the time, lol Or yourself for that matter
Song 13 – Depeche Mode – Useless – Love Depeche Mode
Song 14 – The Cure – A Forest (Live in Japan 1984) – Depeche Mode and The Cure were pretty much my two favorite bands when I was in my 20’s
Song 15 – Chicane – Saltwater – Beautiful Song… I have a Keen Passion for Synthesizers, something I’ve had pretty much all my life… And So Trance is definitely part of my Musical Diet… Not to mention I find it quite instrumental in bringing you pretty damn close to a “Dream State”, whilst still being awake. Something I find Quite Useful as a Writer, as the Subconscious is where so much of the Good Stuff comes from
Song 16 – Clubbed to Death
Song 17 – The Missing Track – This one didn’t work for some reason, maybe I’ll throw it on my List next time
Thanks For Listening

When I write it usually starts with being inspired by music. I have often wished that when someone reads my story they could hear the same music that inspired me to write it. As always, love your post DarkJade.

I know what you mean about people hearing the music you’re listening to when you’re Writing a Piece… It’s one of the reasons I on occasion attach Videos to my Poems… To further take the Reader to where I’m at, or coming from.
Thanks for the Comment, and Compliment Messy… Appreciate it
