The guy in the beginning was talking in a mini documentary about how much old people who were regulars enjoyed this performance and that they were fascinated with how excited he audience was. "Imagine if you went to a regular classical concert and the presenter said 'next up is a piece by Schubert' and 20 people stood up and went 'yeeeaaah!'". A member of the orchestra told him that playing this song made them feel like a rock star for the first time in 40 years as a musician.

unfortunately he is not really making music anymore. The accusations not only destroyed his career, but they also destroyed him personally in his creativity. I literally cry everytime i think about this. There is NO composer in the whole world, even though there are quite some awesome ones (Hans Zimmer, Christopher Tin etc.) who was able to make me feel like Jeremy Soul was able to do with his music. For me personally, he will always be remembered as the best ambience music composer of all time. Whenever you wander through the forests of skyrim or enter another abandoned mine, youll hear Jeremy Soul in the backround with his masterpieces. I really hope with all my hearth that one day he reads all the lovely comments he is getting in all the skyrim music videos and starts making music again...

[@asuka813]

@midgetydeath I think the very concept of 'good guys killing bad guys' is the problem. It isn't specific to video games, it is all over media and folklore. My main problem with video games specifically is promoting screen addition, just like excessive television. Just playing and using the imagination, or table top role playing at least promotes creativity and visualización. If kids would just fight eachother (constructively, preferably, like martial arts training) that would probably be better and they would learn physical skills. Violence, or the root of violence on some level seems innate in humans and it needs a good outlet. If a person is inclined toward brutal violence and homicide, they will probably also be drawn to especially violent games and media. It may be more of an indicator than a cause. The problem originated elsewhere. I am really aporeciating a trend in media lately, at least in some shows I have seen, of humanizing villians and showing their story. It helps people relate to how and when someone can make the choice to become 'evil'. Many people can be pushed in the right circumstances. Heroes included. Also the theme of redemption, being given a chance to earn trust and be better.

[@sdsd-ne9hg]

@midgetydeath "Video games are about good guys killing bad guys and monsters and generally being heroes" Yeh... I lure npc's to the highest places i can find to see how far i can send them flying.
