Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.

I'm not into video games, let's get that out there right up front. I see it as a monumental waste of time especially considering there's nothing to gain except the highest score or defeating the big boss. There's better things to be doing, it's just my opinion.
Having said that, one of the coolest things that has come of video games are these cinematic videos and the need for production music which is basically stock music made for use in commercials, films, television shows, previews and so on. I have a lot of it in my playlists and thought I'd share three of my favourites this Tuesday.
I don't know anything about the digital card game Legends of Runeterra and do not want to, but I certainly know something about this great track performed by singer, Fleurie. It's a hauntingly beautiful song, made so by Fleurie's voice and I like how the music, her singing and the video combine to be so emotive. I have snuck the original version into this post, right here, as it is my favourite version - the featured remix is in this post because the video is so great. Do yourself a favour and listen to both - If you listen to the original version, turn up the volume!
"I feel the pages turning, I see the candle burning down
before my eyes, before my wild eyes. I feel you holding me, tighter I cannot see, when will we finally...breathe"
Riot Music Team are responsible for this great track which is somehow linked with the game League of Legends I believe. The beautiful vocals are by Valerie Broussard, who is beautiful in her own right, and the track builds from a dreamy haunting feel to become and epic and uplifting track, a call to action I guess one could say. As with most of these cinematic music videos the music video is visually impactful.
"The night beckons while you dream, a life never lives in peace as you stand upon the edge woven by a single thread, and fate may fall down upon you, while the devil is knocking right at your door"
This epic track is created by Two Steps From Hell (founded by composers Thomas Bergersen and Nick Phoenix) which is a music company that creates production music. I love it because it's awesome. It is a sweepingly beautiful orchestral piece, violin and cello and some really nice choral elements, and is incredibly emotive. This version I have linked is a very cool cinematic video and the visuals and music will almost certainly grab you. I'm not sure if it's from a video game and neither do I care if it is.
If you actually listened and watched the videos feel free to comment below if you'd like, I'm interested to know what you thought of these three tracks and if you have any that you personally like and would like to share with me in the comments.
