tarotgalConfession:
I am a theme song whore.
Completely and utterly. Which is maybe why I like fan music vids so much, now that I think about it. In the early days of the internet before I met fanvids I used to pick songs that I would use for the main theme song in a series' spin-off series(like 'Carry on my Wayward Son' from Kansas for a Richie spin-off from Highlander)
I've got a folder of theme songs in mp3 format that's up to a hundred-something now. I love them. I think because they make me think of the characters and scenes from the shows and movies that I love so much. Images in my head, memories of my favorite parts, etc.
I have whole burned CD's dedicated to series of theme songs.
I have a whole CD just for anime opening and closing show songs and excluding all other internal series music (which is maybe another reason why I love Weiss... there are so many of them! lol)
And at the same time, while I like soundtracks, it's usually the main theme or the main theme song itself that's my favorite (which the exception of Titanic where I skip over My Heart Will Go On in favor of the rest of the CD) There's just something about the main theme that makes me... I don't know... FEEL the show/movie. So I don't buy a lot of soundtracks in the end. It takes a LOT to make me buy a soundtrack. And usually that LOT is a lot of songs with lyrics (like Moulin Rouge) rather than something like PotC. I like lyrics. I'm a writer, not a musician. I need lyrics. Classical and instrumental are fine but I need to hear words in my head when I listen and I very rarely do with most instrumentals(though I do sometimes).
I love theme songs. I sing along to them and make it a point to learn all the words. I refuse to turn away from a program or stop recording just because closing credits are rolling (though that's also an anal "needs to be complete" sort of thing, really) And when shows have bad theme songs, I just won't watch them. It's terrible, I know. But that's me. I'm a theme song whore and make no sense :-)
