About This Blog

Song of the Day is a place for me to review my favorite musical pieces, to share them with anyone interested and to examine why these pieces mean so much to me. Despite the title, this blog will not be updated daily, but every now and then.

Never-Ending Story-Within Temptation

You may have noticed that I have not posted a song of the "day" in several months. This is because of one of those curveballs that life throws at us that we never expect: I have lost interest in music for its own sake. Now, I like music when it accompanies another medium, such as a video game or movie, and then I'm more interested in the story than the music.

Here, with my tenth post, I officially end Song of the Day. The vision I had when I began it no longer applies, so if it continued, it would be without the spark of passion that makes these things important.

Some of the songs I previously considered writing about are Morrowind/Oblivion/Skyrim Medley by FamilyJules7x, Glass House by RED, Ordinary World by RED, Dream of Mirrors by Iron Maiden, Rain by Harmony, One-Winged Angel by The Black Mages, All Nightmare Long by Metallica, and Fly by Blind Guardian, among others.

To close this blog, I have chosen a song which fits the scenario very well: Never-Ending Story by Within Temptation. It is about how life takes us in all different directions. We don't remember where we started, and we don't know where we're going. But, as the saying goes, it's about the journey, not the destination.
