Film music for a lady?

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!! OOOHHH! He, he.......uhm.......OK......sorry, I thought we were still doing innuendo jokes.

Kevin, I hope by the topic title you mean 'music for one particular lady' and not 'music for ladies in general'. Because that would be weird, as if all girls like the same. Imagine I ask you all 'can you recommend music for guys?'


Secondly, I would suggest something you like yourself as well. I always like it when people show me what they like.

Thirdly, going for romantic and emotional sounds really cliché to me. As a trick or manipulation or something? I don't like it when people go overly romantic, it scares me off. Like flowers and chocolat, brrrrr.... Also, I hate it when people think for me. Just ask. Give the music and ask: what do you think?

So, I would do what you wanted to do in the first place. Listen to what she likes and try to find more in the same style. I mean, what would you recommend a friend if you knew a bit what he liked? It's exactly the same.

Good luck!

While it is obviously impossible to create a list of "girl music" per se, it can still be considered possible to create a ROMANTIC playlist, that is consisting of songs or tracks that are generally associated with romantic atmospheres.

Of course, it's still a matter of degree. It wouldn't make sense to play Whitney Houston's version of "I Will Always Love You" if you're having a goth girl over. You get my drift. But film music is less on-the-nose that way, so some cool and suave romantic music could work. Perhaps some cocktail lounge a la Schifrin's GONE WITH THE WAVE, for example (which is about surfing, not romance, but it's got that general ambiance).

Sorry, I'm rambling here.

Pffff...maybe we can get away from stereotyping here?
Romantic obviously translates to lyrical and melodic, which is anyone's best bet for someone not openly into film music: no girl that is not into film music I know ever prefered Haslinger's Underworld to Elfman's Edward Scissorhands.

I also don't happen to think bringing someone flowers is in any way a "manipulative trick". Nor is providing a 'mix tape' (I love how that phrase remains in use long after the demise of cassette tapes ) of music you think is appropriate. I just think it's a nice gesture, and in my experience it's always been appreciated.

(To be sure: I appreciate that you personally may be put off by flowers and romantic music, Bregje. But from experience honestly I'd say you're an exception in that regard. In fact, some of the best feedback I've had is from girls and women whom I didn't explicitly ask what their tastes were, but were surprised by my own interpretation. Often people really find some fun in being drawn from their comfort zone.
Obviously there is a risk in that.
But then, if you want to change or break out of a comfort zone, most things in life are risky. )

I'd guarantee you most of the ladies that will listen to Jablonsky or Rabin will jump out the window.

Of course. Bregje too.

Yeah, 'cause the sausages have never handled a lady in their lives. Why did you ask here the first place? You should have tried the sex and the city online forums

Film music fans aren't a subjective thing, at all, as everyone is with their hobbies, especially if eclectic and well, geeky like ours. But i got the impression that he was asking for a non-film music fan lady? You can't really compare Bregje, Stavi or any of our beloved film music fans ladies of the forum with the average lady out there?

Unfortunately you cannot.
