I just realized that I haven't posted any new writing music for a couple of months now!
The soundtrack to Edward Scissorhands recently came up on my iTunes shuffle, which I think is totally appropriate for Halloween. I love this movie and I think Danny Elfman's score is perfect for it - just the right blend of haunting, lovely, and mysterious. A lot of the tracks are set in 3/4 time, making for some eerie waltzes that feature music box-like sounds. Creepy and beautiful at the same time!
Enjoy and happy writing!

oooh. Who doesn't love some edward Edward Scissorhands, amiright?
The music is that perfect meld of fairyland and sinister. I love it.
I've always wanted to see that movie!
The one Edward Scissorhands song I have always makes me picture a girl in snow-- I think the movie itself is probably exerting some influence, but the song is pretty perfectly matched to that magical, haunting snow feeling.
I have Edward Scissorhands from Netflix, but haven't watched it yet. Now I want to! Thanks for the video link.
I haven't seen that movie or heard that song in a long time.Thanks for the memories.
Mmm. I've been writing to scores a lot lately, and I love the music Danny Elfman composed for Edward Scissorhands, so I might have to download the whole thing.
My wife loved this movie.
Danny Elfman is fantastic! His music is so magical. I haven't seen this movie in forever. I think this would be the weekend...
Love that movie. Need I say more? :)

I haven't seen that movie in forever. Very fitting for this time of year.

Ooh, this is great. I've never seen the movie, but I love soundtracks with a haunting feel (and I'm a sucker for 3/4 time as well.) Great writing music! Thanks! :)
