Cue the Epic Soundtrack!
I
love soundtracks to movies! I remember when the trailer for the
first installment of The Hobbit came out. After the dwarves had sung
Misty Mountain and then the title of The Hobbit appeared, I turned to
my husband said “Even if the movie is lousy I want the soundtrack.”
Every time I drive through twisty turning roads, hills or even
mountains and especially if a trace of fog is upon them, I hum the
Misty Mountain song. At that moment I need an epic soundtrack to
capture the moment.

I
also love to fight to epic soundtracks. I own my own stage combat
group, Swords and Roses®, and I teach stage combat. Sometimes to
spice up a well-known bit of choreography or to remind the fighters
of the mood of the fight I will add some soundtrack for fighting.
Suddenly, postures improves, energy ensues, and a well known fight
becomes interesting to watch.
Why
do I love to put soundtracks in moments of my life? I think it is to
pull me out of the ordinary and let my imagination make it
extrordinary. I think I am looking for something bigger than myself
and the soundtrack makes my seeking...my quest...an epic adventure.
