Vampires, Blades and Roses

So as you can hear, September's blogger soundtrack is up. I was coming up blank for awhile when it came to songs I wanted to share but almost in a row, these three songs came to me. As always I tried not to be too predicatable with my music choice and I feel this is probably a good example of me going outside the box. I will explain the songs in order of the title.

Vampires: Enrique makes his very first appearance. I have always liked this song since I heard it used during a cycle of America's Next Top Model (yes I used to watch that show). The video had this gothic urban feel to it and he even mentions vampires in the lyrics. Definately a good choice, especially in light of it's company.

Blades: I am a big fan of BLEACH the anime. I have been following it on and off for almost 2 years but in the last year or so I have become a really big fan. One of my favorite characters happens to be Rukia.



One of my favorite scenes by far is when she saves the protagonist Ichigo with one of her patented attacks. The music that was played at that scene really struck me on first listen. The name of the song is 'Senna'. Now here comes a surprise. I realized very recently that 'Senna' is named after Senna from the Bleach movie, Memories of Nobody which I recently seen. So yep, it's techinically Senna's song, borried by Rukia. One of the reasons why I dig 'Senna' so much is the violins and how it has this 'Firefly'/ Old Western feel. Maybe it is just me but it reminds me a lot of 'Serenity' opening credits (another awesome instrumental/ score).

Roses: The final song is 'Desert Rose' by Sting feat Cheb Mami. I have always been a fan of Sting but 'Desert Rose' was the first time I brought a cd with Sting on it. I think it was the exotic crooning of Cheb Mami that attracted me so much. Anyhow when I think of Zafina in Tekken, this song comes to mind and to no surprise, I will be using it for my forthcoming combo video.

Well that's the breakdown, enjoy the tunes.
