What I need for Music of Nat 20 PP#19

    Before I say anything about music that I'm going to use in my opening, I wanna make a couple of pointers that I would go with.  Firstly, I didn't want to use any copyrighted music.  I didn't want to deal with having to email people and get struggle to get permission, only to be told by the corporate overlords that it would be only cost a whopping $1000 a year.  Fun fact my sister asked someone for the rights to a song, and they actually told her some outrageous number like that, so no thanks.  I don't want to deal with that.  

    Next, I wanted to base my music around my opening, as opposed to the other way around.  I feel like basing your video around some music you pick BEFORE HAND, is just a bad idea, especially when it's NOT a music video.  Lemme explain in a couple bullet points:
  • Basing an opening around a song would mean I would have to directly change multiple aspects of my opening just to fit my music choice.  
  • Only having one song is bland!  I'd rather have a couple spewed in there, especially for mine, since a couple different vibes are in my opening.

    Now onto the music, I'd actually choose.  And I figured that the YouTube Audio Library would be my best bet.  Literally, all the songs are there are royalty-free, so I can just download and use it from there, which is loads better than chasing someone down to use their songs.

    So now that I know where I'm going to get my songs from, I need to know WHAT songs I'm going to choose.   And I have a base template for songs to pick, and a very general prompt to go from.  I actually have a couple of them:

  •  A fantasy song, like fairy sounding for DnD
  • an epic battle sort-of song, one that is generally fast-paced
  • a more relaxed song, primarily going to be used around a group of friends, that is just background relaxed music
  • A send-off song, as the main character walks off.  Primarily sadder, but liminal, with heavy feelings.
    These are a couple aspects that I'm looking for in my music, and I'm going to go searching for it.

    I'll let you know what I find!!!
