What If Star Wars I was good? (A Re-post)

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Greetings, readers!

As you may recall from a bit more than two years ago, I shared a YouTube video that examines what retweaking might have made Star Wars I: Phantom Menace actually good. As a brief reminder, I do not recall exactly what language warnings may be required pertaining to the video. I simply recall that it is well worth highlighting again, especially as the new movie has come out, and it has not disappointed critics nearly as much as the prequels did.

So, enjoy.

Seasonal Music from 156 weeks ago

Hiya, Fluffsters!

So, there’s a movie coming out in a week that I’m really excited about.

And that got me thinking. There was a movie that came out three years ago. And it had an epic credits song. And since it came out during the season we’re in, but a few years ago, it counts as Seasonal Music!

Uh, Webmaster? I am not sure it actually doe-

Hush. It counts.

Anyway. So, here’s “Song of the Lonely Mountain” from the Hobbit. It counts, ok?

Have a lovely weekend!

Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence — Seasonal Songs

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Greetings, readers!

Today’s less common seasonal song is another chant style piece. It is “Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence”.

This one is a bit more complicated in terms of its seasonality. Although it is frequently classified as a “Eucharist” hymn, it also has a verse with Christmas symbology and is therefore used more frequently as an “advent” hymn.

Regardless, it is lovely. I am taking advantage of its semi-advent-status to post it here now.

Have a lovely Wednesday.

Seasonal Music — “Born on a New Day”

Greetings, readers!

Today’s Seasonal Piece is another King’s Singers performance: “Born on a New Day”.

As with all their performances, the King’s Singers have a lovely tone quality to them. This song is also quite lovely. It is simultaneously relatively cheerful, nostalgic, and peaceful. I rather like it, and I hope you do, too.

Seasonal Music — Rutter’s “Blow Thou Winter Wind”

Greetings, readers!

Technically, although it is Christmas season, it is not yet Winter. I am going to ignore that for the moment, however, and share with you a lovely (semi) seasonal piece: Rutter’s “Blow, Blow thou Winter Wind”.

It is a lovely piece that deserves more attention. The flute part especially adds to the timbre quite nicely

Enjoy.

Seasonal Music — Of The Father’s Love Begotten

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Greetings, readers!

Anther one of my favorites is (originally) a “plainchant” piece: “Of the Father’s Love Begotten”.

This version is not (technically) plainchant, but it is lovely.

It also is easy to find in Latin, which makes it excellent soothing, not-as-distracting music.

I hope you have a good Saturday.

Less Common Seasonal Songs – They Aren’t All Good Edition

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hiya, Fluffsters!

I figured I’d jump on board with Fluffy’s series of “less common seasonal songs” with one I shared last year. It’s the “Christmas Donkey” song. Hence the title of “Christmas Donkey Edition”.

Yeah, about that title…

Wait. “They aren’t all good edition”?

Fluffy, did you change it?

I decline to state.

Anyway. Yup. Here it is again.

Enjoy!(?)
