Hello, this is Golden Lion Tamarin. I used to be GoldenLionTamarin, but I decided to add the spaces because otherwise it would be too confusing. I added that note here for the sake of saving space on the top. Now to the music part.
What kind of music to you like to listen to? I like everything minus jazz. What instruments do you play ("Vocals" is completely acceptable)? I play piano, guitar, a little bit of ukulele, and violin.
Well, I guess you can talk about anything about music. For instance, I have written 4 songs for violin (one is a concerto!).
Signing off!
Regards,
Golden Lion Tamarin

um, I like a LOT of songs, but I feel like the qualification of 'favorite' means you have to be able to listen to it on repeat for hours without ever getting bored- and to that, only two songs fit that category for me.
1. Shipping Up to Boston by the Dropkick Murphys (ok, this song is frickin' AMAZING. Go listen to it. Right. Now. I love the Dropkick Murphys!!!)
2. Giants in the Sky from Into the Woods (Into the Woods is definitely my favorite musical ever! I've never seen the original but Daniel Huttlestone absolutely SLAYS in the Disney version, it gives me chills every time I hear: "The roof, the house and your mother at the door/The roof, the house and the world you never thought to explore" so yeah, it's just amazing!)
Has anybody heard of these songs? I'm aware they're so different it's ridiculous but they are my absolute favorites of all time*!!
*currently
Um, other music stuff... I play piano, but everybody knows that... I think I would love to play piano for a job, when I'm older, but I don't know exactly what that entails.........

OH MY GOSH INTO THE WOODS IS A REALLY GOOD MUSICAL. It's very witty and has excellent rhymes :D

2 days ago while I was scrubbing white paint off my fingers after painting my shoes for 6 hours, I randomly started sing this song I made up on the spot. Then my father helped me write a verse. Bewaqre: the song is ...weird. This is it:
Get this white paint off my fingers (Bflat, D, f, f, f, e flat, D, b flat)
Get this white paint off my toes (Bflat, D, f, f, f, e flat, D)
Get this white paint off my fingers (Bflat, D, f, f, f, e flat, D, b flat)
Get this white paint off my nose (Bflat, D, f, f, f, e flat, D)
I’ve turpentine and varnish
I’ve tried fire & I’ve tried rain
Even relish and other garnish
Oh this is such a pain
And that's all we got. It's silly, I know. But it was fun. I would like to create more to the song. After that verse, there'd be the chorus agan, then more verses, hopefully.....
Also, I'm listening to music now. Right now You Need To Calm Down is playing. But I also have other Taylor Swift songs, Kids United, some Joni Mitchell and Carole King, and one song by The Supremes (You Can't Hurry Love).

(September 13, 2022 - 6:30 pm)
Ooooooh, James Taylor!!!!
Also when I saw what Sunny (Oh, wait.... Gotta change the name of one of my AE-s in the making. Oh, well.) said the 2nd time, my mind flew to 'weird', then I realized.... Rearrange the letters, and you get weird. Or wired, for tht matter.
(September 13, 2022 - 7:57 pm)
Oh my goodness, you like Frozen and Frozen II songs too?! I love most of them :) I think "Into the Unknown" would have to be one of my favorites... Which is yours?
Sometimes music gives me ideas for stories. I wrote a whole novel once because of a music video my dad showed me! Music can also help me imagine movie scenes or music videos, which I enjoy doing. I always like it when music inspires me... it makes me feel more caught up in what I'm imagining or writing.:D

I'm in the car right now and my brother and I have VERY different music tastes, so we were on the verge of a big argument about whether we should play classical or hard rock (I was on the side of classical) when my dad asked me to make a playlist that included everybody's tastes. Unfortunately my classical is not playing at all yet.

yo I'm literally playing that song in a piano recital in a week :0
I'm like not ready for it at all but it'll be fineee. I'm gonna have to use music 'cause I haven't had time to memorize it.....
(May 29, 2023 - 7:46 pm)
Hey, that's fine (that you don't have time to memorize it). That thing is impossible to memorize. All those different chords... aaah

By the way I can play the waltz great now with sheet music.
(May 30, 2023 - 9:56 am)
I play the Kalimba, and a bit self taught on the keyboard. I also sing (quite terribly, I'm sure) lots of songs.
(May 30, 2023 - 2:15 pm)
i love music!! i mostly listen to indie, indie rock/alternative rock, and broadway songs. i play a bit of piano and the vocal chords. my favorite songs are basically every song in newsies (the musical not the movie, but the movie is good too) and Backwards by The Rare Occasions. The Rare Occasions is an indie band that isn't super popular but you might have heard the song Notion by them. My brother and I are going to a Rare Occasions concert soon, which is super exciting! I also like sort of fantasy-ish music if that makes sense- like songs that remind me of fantasy books. I have a fantasy playlist that's four hours and seven minutes long.
