Epic
Epic, a word that implies heroism, vastness, grandiosity, magnificence, and something wondrous, while originally referring to a long narrative poem. However, the word Epic has been applied to much more than a poem, “Epic” is used to describe film, literature, art, music, events, people, and even places. With this blog I plan to write on the things which I find epic, things that fall under the various categories that I have just mentioned. Now, I don’t claim to be an expert on all things epic, the things that I will focus on and claim to epic is of course just my opinion. Epic has become a favorite word of mine, I seem to always love the various things that it describes. Anytime I find a new song, film, or piece of art that I find epic, it instantly becomes a favorite of mine.
When I use the word epic, I am generally referring to something on a grand scale. When it is a song the song is usually one which continues to build throughout until it reaches a massive climax that can take your breath away. If I am referring to a piece of art it might be one that shows a huge event of some sort, or a struggle of some kind between good and evil. “Epic” often does hint at the never ending conflict of good and evil, which is often presented in a grand way and refers to a struggle of biblical proportions.
Additionally, along with each blog update I will include a song which I feel is epic and goes along with the current posting.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and/or listen to the current song, continue to check back as I will try to keep this updated often.
