Boyang Jin
SP: While My Guitar Gently Weeps by Peter Framton

Great Choice... I love kubo and the two strings movie so much! I remember it feature as one of the great end credit song/sequenceof 2017. Clearly inspired by Miyasaki/Ghibli films, but just as poignant and moving.
I highly recommend the movie to anyone.

Frampton version is a macho, rocking guitar and less melancholy version from the film ost. Wonder if they will pick from various version of the song into a program. Beatles. George Harrison/Eric Clapton

Stuff from wiki

Interesting George Harrison was inspired by the Chinese ICHING as an exercise in randomness inspired by the Chinese I Ching. The song conveys his dismay at the world's unrealised potential for universal love, which he refers to as "the love there that's sleeping".

The song serves as a comment on the disharmony within the Beatles following their return from studying Transcendental Meditation in India in early 1968. This lack of camaraderie was reflected in the band's initial apathy towards the composition, which Harrison countered by inviting his friend and occasional collaborator, Eric Clapton, to contribute to the recording.

Nam Nguyen skated his FS to La La Land at Minto.

Finally 'Wicked Game' as a program, especially by such sensual, seductive couple with knack of making songs with lyrics work! I love James Vincent MacMorrow's cover, but I think it would be too slow and lyrical, my cover pick would be one by Daughtry. Major props for both musical choices!

Maybe they will go more rock, with HIM Its an interesting song for skating, no matter the version :agree:

 

[Colonel Green]

Kirsten Moore-Towers & Michael Marinaro
SP: "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" (Leona Lewis cover)
FS: Pink Floyd medley

Per KMT's Instagram Story today.

Great song! I wonder why they didn't go with Chris Isaak himself?

McNamara/Carpenter:
RD: Desde El Alma
FD: Porz Goret by Yann Tiersen

Parsons/Parsons:
RD: Vuelvo Al Sur
FD: To Build a Home by The Cinematic Orchestra

Adding that the second piece in McNamara/Carpenter's RD is Quejumbroso. The first one, Desde El Alma, is a vals - a tango with waltz rhythm. I was wondering if anyone would use a vals and it works beautifully!

M/C have such great music choices for their tango! And the FD already looks lovely, do we know who choreographed it?

thank you for posting the links!

Last season, I have had this dream that some Ice Dance team would use the original song as rhumba music in SD for partial step sequence, but it did not happen

That would have been an awesome dream come true!

 

[Alchamei]

I am not sure if this is a good idea for them so soon after Papadakis/Cizeron's FD to Build a Home. Hopefully they and their coach and choreograoher have done something totally different with it. Still, comparisons are inevitable in any case.

Well Dima Aliev skated to To Build a Home last season and made the piece his own. I think there might more compasism to him than P/C, their program was great but it's probably not a sginature or legendary piece. I think it will depend on them. I think though I will think of Dima hearing that music from now on.

Hard disagree. I 100% think that To Build a Home is their signature piece of the previous Olympic quad. Like, I know I'm biased because it's one of my favorite programs of all time, but yeah. (The recessional played at my wedding was "To Build a Home" and it was because of P/C, FWIW. I'm crazy.)

I liked Aliev's program and I agree he did a decent job of making the piece his own. But he's not an ice dancer.

Interesting. I've seen many people mentioning that program, but for me it still probably isn't at the 'legendary' category, perhaps it might be one of their most famour programs. I think I might prefer the Aliev version, but it must be said he didn't use To Build a Home only, it was only a part of it.

Also, good for you to have this music at your wedding! Late congratulations!

 

[yyyskate]

To Build a Home is also my P/C's program as well. I watched that performance live in person, I have to say it ranked near the very top of my figure skating in person view experience (all disciplines).
Was not much of a P/C fan before that, was rooting for homie S/S's signature cold play program going into Boston worlds yet totally blew away and mesmerized by P/C's performance.

I'm not sure I'd call any ID piece signature or legendary, LOL. The current CoP rules make the discipline so unnecessarily restrictive, uncreative, and, well, un-dance-like. A very weird thing for a discipline that should probably have the most artistic freedom.

Eh, agree to disagree. I think there have been quite a few "legendary" programs in ice dance since CoP, and I also generally prefer CoP ice dance to pre-CoP ice dance. P/C's "To Build a Home" happens to be my very favorite, but there's also D/W's Notre Dame and Scheherazade, V/M's Mahler, Carmen, Prince, and Moulin Rouge.
