#and i go and read their other stuff and i'm like OOHHHHHH. i can SEE how you've adjusted your writing style to fit this fandom

ya know i was listening to the hunger games soundtrack today while studying and it occurred to me that james newton howard actually . sorta used a different style w those soundtracks than what he usually does to fit the Vibe of the movies because like. he's got the light kinda fantasy-sounding soundtrack style that he's usually known for but the hunger games soundtracks are SO. like. solemn and poignant and dark (I'm specifically thinking abt this one but it applies to most of the soundtracks tbh) and idk. an artist modifying his style to better fit the tone of the media. i think it's cool and wanted to share :]

oh MANNNNN ok ok i am listening literally now as i respond to this (i started with the song you linked but i might just let the album play through as i work today bc it's such a vibe) and it's blowing my mind a little bit???? like it's crazy because i can still tell that it's him (i don't know the Right words for music but like something about the way certain parts of it pause and transition and build still fundamentally feel like james newton howard to me)(NOT THAT I AM SOME JNH EXPERT i just hyperfixated on One Specific Soundtrack for years in my youth lmao) BUT YES. it's darker it's more solemn there are some ominous parts in there.....OOHHHHH. you are SO CORRECT it's very cool and i'm SO glad you shared.
