Ellie Goulding - Your Song

Ellie Goulding - Your Song

Ellie Goulding is an English singer- songwriter, your song originally singed by Elton John.

The first time I heard this song is on the TV  from John Lewis commercial adverts during the Christmas time period in 2010. Her voice is so catching because it's so pure and innocent, then I started to searched on the YouTube. Which I found that  "Your Song" is sung by a famous singer Elton John, he sang  "Your Song" first in 1970, this is one of his favorites song and he plays it at most of his concerts and in concert for Diana. This song has been covered by number of artists. Ellie Goulding's version is my Favorited which reached No.2 on the UK Singles Chart in Late 2010. 

Elton John - Your Song (Concert For Diana)

The lyrics express the romantic thoughts of an innocent. Hope you enjoy this lovely song !!

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

Anyband-Talk Play Love+ Promise U

Anyband is promotional band formed by Samsung 's Anycall, which promoted their product "AnyBand"new cell phones. This musical group is released by South Korean in 2007, this band consists of Boa, Xiah Junsu (JYJ), Tablo (Epik High) and jazz pianist Jin Bora. This is the fourth Anycall music drama from Samsung, a series of music videos and commercials that promotes their cellphones with popular stars. The motto for this campaign is "Talk Play Love". While most people believe that technology will isolates people, Samsung opted to promote the concept that technology unites people.

This commercial was shot in Brazil, It's including Talk, Play, Love and Promise U two songs .The main theme is: This is the silent world, the law is for "No Talk, No Play, No Love", and the citizens are strictly controlled and monitored by their government. However, four individuals form a secret alliance to challenge the government's power. They keep in contact with each other through use of their Anycall cellphones, and "Talk, Play, Love" is their motto. They use music to encourage people to resist the dictator, and to fight for their own freedom. Music to save the world!

I will put no subtitle and english subtitle two different version on this post.

2.Anyband- Talk Play Love+ Promise U (English Subtitle)

This English subtitle version is only I can found, the video is not very clear, sorry for this.

Drummer of Dream Theater: Portnoy or Mangini?

Ever since Mike Portnoy left Dream Theater and Mike Mangini joined Dream Theater through a widely publicized audition, there has been an ongoing debate about who is the best drummer for Dream Theater.

Do we need to continue this discussion? I mean really, these two Mike(s) are a part of world renowned drummers whom which have their own style of playing and history. Both had their fair share of progressive, rock, and metal drumming which includes broken beats, odd counts and all that falls in between. But these two have their differences also.

Mike Portnoy is mostly self-taught while Mike Mangini learned it from school. Portnoy is a very powerful player while Mangini is very technical and precise. Both have played in a metal band, jazz band and pure progressive band. Both are session players whom have played with various virtuosos.

Coming to that, nowadays fans are still going about who is the best while in my opinion both should have their own place in Dream Theater history. Portnoy chose to leave and the band chose to continue without him and picked Mangini. Mike Portnoy have founded and put foundations to Dream Theater music and Mike Mangini have come to continue Portnoy’s legacy with his own mark.

Sure you wanna straightaway compare their drumming with the latest album, A Dramatic Turn Of Events, which is not fair. Why? Because Mangini have yet to put his own mark and signature to it. Petrucci composed all the drums for the album and Mangini only played it with his style. You wanna compare Mangini playing back catalogue? Not fair also because its Portnoy’s and Mangini constantly said that he is going to respect that.

If this debate going to continue, I would hope that people would wait for Dream Theater’s newest album where Mike Mangini wrote all the drums. For sure I won’t compare them because I like them both and I’m a Dream Theater fan whoever their drummer is.

Country Rhythms

Brad Paisley ft. Alison Krauss- Whiskey Lullaby

This song by Brad Paisley,who has had great following in modern country music due to his unique voice,choice of lyrics and his great style of playing the guitar was released in 2004 at a time when people had still not gotten over the disaster of the 9/11 attacks and a period of  love heartbreaks . This song depicts a soldier coming back home from war only to find out that his wife has been cheating on him whiles he was away with another bloke.
 I guess this is a lesson we can all learn from.

Coldplay vs Satriani

Some few months ago, my friends and I watched Coldplay live tour in a movie theater in our town (yeah so this concert is recorded and broadcasted live throughout the world only for one day and only in theaters).


After the concert, I had a chat with my boyfriend about it and this thing came out where he didn’t watch it with his friends because he has no interest in Coldplay anymore.


Turns out that he’s still feel somewhat offended about the copyright infringement case between Coldplay and his favorite guitarist, Joe Satriani, where he sued Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida” to be copying his work “If I Could Fly” which was made and released in 2004.


At that time I wasn’t very curious and ignoring my boyfriend’s comments and feelings about Coldplay, but then I got curious.


Many people said that:
1. Viva La Vida have the exact same tempo and groove with If I Could Fly
2. Viva La Vida also have the same chord changes with If I Could Fly, the difference is only at the beginning.


Tried to find the difference and also googled it. For a really ill-informed discussion of this case, you can check out the comments on the Satriani YouTube post. For a more music-theory based discussion of their similarity, check out this excellent YouTube video from a guitar instructor in Canada.

Coldplay - Viva La Vida

Well,
What do you think?

Mr.Crowley - Ozzy Osbourne

Mr.Crowley is a 1980 heavy hard rock song performed by Ozzy Osbourne released on the album Blizzard of Ozz. The song was inspired by books about Edward Alexander Crowley which Ozzy Osbourne had read, and deck of tarot cards that he found in the studio. Aleister Crowley was an English Occultist and mountaineer who had links to many cults, setting up the Thelemite religion.

Bruno Mars- It Will Rain

       

It will rain from the film The Twilight Saga- Breaking dawn Part.1(2011). Bruno Mars described song as"think of the darker side of love." The torment of heartbreak in the lyric, Bruno through the different emotions to show the love. When I heard this song, I was attracted by his voice and music.  Actually, I prefer the live version compared to the music video. Because, I can directly feel the real emotions of his music. So, close your eyes, listen to the song with your heart.

The Masonic Music Industry & the Occult in Hip hop music

     
Documentary on Masonic and Occultic activities in Music by Anton Lawrence Part 1

The hip hop music industry has been dominated with music artistes who are engaging in occultic and satanic activities in exchange for fame,wealth and power. They portray and use satanic symbols,pictures and activities in their music to deceive and convince their target audiences into following them and believing in what they stand for. Most of their music lyrics depicts scenes and language of violence,sex,murder,profane language and other indecent behaviour which i think is not a good thing for the youth to follow and endorse. I believe we really need to be careful of what we listen to because music really has a strong influence on our behaviour,character and mood whether we like it or not.

Gospel Music Festival

      Hillsong United- Solution track
This gospel song festival by this music group was an outreach program for them to spread the message of Christianity to people across the countries that they visited which is depicted on the screens in their live performance and, they have touched people's lives positively through their song ministration. The purpose of music i know is to make positive impacts in the society and this gospel group has done so in places where they perform by spreading the gospel of salvation and encouraging people to change their lives for the best by trusting in God.

Negative Review on Rebecca Black- Friday video

Friday - Rebecca Black - Official Music Video

This video is famous on the YouTube, after a comedian Michael. J. Nelson called it " the worst video ever made" the hit surged in very short time. This video had many negative reception and review, because of the bad songwriting and Rebecca bad singing performance.

This video was removed from YouTube on June 16 2011, it had more that 167 million views, and had over 3.1 million "dislikes" (87% of total ratings) from users. However, it was uploaded again in September 16, 2011.
   
In the video the lyrics is about the typical Friday for Rebecca Black, which I feel is really meaningless and poorly written, the singing performance was not really good. 

Since the growth in popularity of this video, there have been numerous parody and remix video on the YouTube, which I found it very funny.

The lyrics might be offensive but it is funny, so ENJOY !! LOL

Modern Country Music

Brad Paisley- Welcome to the Future

This music is so great and i guess the words in it tells a story about the way the world has evolved from decades back till today. The age of evolution where information technology has taken the center stage on the global scene and has brought with it lots of positive impacts we experience in the world today. A great music which has lovely lyrics for us to learn something from.

Facts about Music

Music is really food for the soul as is always said  because music keeps us going by relaxing the mind and telling us a story about life and the issues that evolve around us on a regular basis. A passion and desire for it is essential for life irrespective of the genre and i believe it makes the world exciting and interesting and wondering how it would feel if the world was without music. Music is great and i think everyone should make it a habit to listen to the kind of music that he or she likes everyday so as to keep the mind relaxed, focused and also active.
