Music for Merlin


I really like to listen to instrumental music while writing or reading. While I read this long reading on Merlin, I was listening to the Game of Thrones soundtrack, and found the tone to be very fitting. This song especially was a joy to listen to towards the end of the reading, with the quote:

"His cry came from the pain he felt when he realized that he was being killed by a woman's cunning and that a woman's craft had defeated his own. The echo of the cry was heard throughout the length and breadth of the kingdom of Logres..."

Nothing better than a woman defeating a man who thinks he knows everything! To make this song even more befitting (for any GoT fans), this is the song that was playing during the scene where (SPOILER ALERT) Cersei killed off a massive amount of people in a church to save herself. This super long song has a super slow beginning that builds to a great climax of instrumentals, so if you're going to play it in class, I would recommend starting around 8:15 to see how grand it gets!

Why It Gotta Be Green???

The Green Knight is very, well, green! There isn't much more about him so far that we know about the guy. But, what we do have so far from is that he's super GREEN. Why though? Why is the Green Knight green? What is so significant about the color green when he comes to the Christmas/New Years kickback of King Arthur and his Round Table buddies? Is there symbolism with the color green? What are they? We shall discuss ;).
