I split Lucinda Williams’ discography into four periods.
You have the early years, from 1979-1992, featuring straightforward folk pop/rock and her most radio-friendly tunes and vocals.
Then there’s the span from 1998-2003, which saw her stretch into more challenging song styles and favor raw emotion over more polished performances. 1998’s Car Wheels On a Gravel Road, still her masterpiece, bridges the first two phases.
The newly 16-year-old Fiona finishes sharing her favorite orchestral pieces…
“Last but definitely not least is ‘Porch.’ A product of the great Alan Silvestri, ‘Porch’ somehow brings together a 2-and-a-half hour movie in just 64 seconds.
Arguably one of the best endings to a movie since The Empire Strikes Back, Avengers: Infinity War sends you off with the troubling sight of Thanos getting his wish to watch the sun rise on a grateful universe, while ‘Porch’ plays in the background.”
The newly 16-year-old Fiona continues sharing her favorite orchestral pieces…
“I could not make a list of my favorite soundtracks without including work from the incredible Ludwig Gӧransson. He has never failed to create original and yet familiar work by incorporating pieces of John Williams’ original Star Wars theme into his work on this spin-off.
No other song could introduce the mysterious Din Djarin like ‘The Mandalorian’ does. This track beats any TV intro music/song made in the last 10 years, hands down.”
The newly 16-year-old Fiona continues sharing her favorite orchestral pieces…
“Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein delivered a masterpiece in the second season of my favorite TV show, Stranger Things.
Played while Nancy is dealing with the loss of her best friend Barb, and the divide is growing between Eleven and Hopper, ‘Eulogy’ shifts the tone of the show with its minor chords and synth.
Even with its sad themes, this remains one of my favorite tracks.”
The newly 16-year-old Fiona continues sharing her favorite orchestral pieces…
“Being one of the longest tracks I listen to, I thought this one deserved some recognition.
James Newton Howard wraps up the entirety of the Hunger Games movie franchise with this astonishing 10-minute piece. While watching the final scene of Mockingjay Pt. 2, you hear this beautiful melody along with great vocals from none other than Jennifer Lawrence herself.
