It never really occurred to me before this how much soundtracks just shape the mood and the whole texture of a movie. And when I replay them, they take me back to the emotions and feelings that I've experienced when I was actually watching the movies. And some of the soundtracks that I've fallen in love with is of course Disney soundtracks, Slumdog Millionaire, Guardians of the Galaxy, (500) Days of Summer, Lord of the Rings, Shakespeare in Love, etc. Such memorable soundtracks, enough to make you feel as if your soul is swelling up within you.

Soundtrack of my Summer
Soundtracks of movies are my jam right now. I'm currently playing the "How to Train Your Dragon" (both 1 and 2) soundtrack over and over again. John Powell is an amazing composer, and I just loved how he infused such beautiful instruments together and created just the right atmosphere and tone for the movie. Plus, he makes Viking music sound pretty awesome, with the bagpipes in all their glory (I do believe they're bagpipes - they sure sound like them). And with the release of HTTYD2, I'm just so enthralled by the way he layers the new tunes with hints of the old, giving a fuller sound to it.
