More than EMO
Nowadays, rock and roll seems to have rolled itself back to the top of the music world once more after decades of being rather mediocre. There now exists many rock and roll bands; and the influence of this type of music to the youth, seem to be endless that almost every kid in town wishes to be a part of some band. Most of these bands belong to the genre emo.
This genre pertains to the emotional contents of the songs of the groups that belong to this genre. Their songs are full of emotions of anger, love, lust and sadness. A band that many people claim to be a part of this genre is My Chemical Romance. However, the band did not accept this as fact and even said that they dislike the said genre. The claim of the band is believable; if one would study the songs of the group, at first, one would see the strong emotions that are enclosed in each song.
However, if one would only look deeper into the songs, he would find that there surely are more than strong emotions in each song; one could find there, the simple hopes in dying, and the reality of life; not just the complaints of a teenager but the cry of the youth of the century. It describes the life in this era.
Keeping Track (Sound)
Two or three years ago, I had a weird observation about the numerous music albums that I own- I noticed that the songs I like best or the ones that I deem to be most radio friendly are usually the fourth track in the album. I found myself selecting track four whenever I listen using my portable disc player, forwarding or going right back to the fourth track even if I happen to enjoy listening to the entire album.
I kept this observation on the backseat and satisfied myself with the assurance that I shall go back to check on that observation and see if a vague theory can be made…
Forward to the present date: I have finally taken the time to isolate the fourth tracks of all the albums I love listening to. The results is both exciting and unnerving for me, almost 90% of these fourth tracks are actually my most loved (or one of the two or three most loved) tracks in every particular album. Take a look at my “Track 04” playlist:
“Gravity” of Continuum by John Mayer
“I Miss You” of Spin by Darren Hayes
“Spaceboy” of Halfway Down the Sky by Splender
“Nice to Meet You Anyway” of Chariot by Gavin DeGraw
“Talks Shows on Mute” of A Crow Left of the Murder by Incubus
“Girlfriend” of Swim by July for Kings
“Do the Panic” of Raise the Dead by Phantom Planet
“Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning)” of Everything You Want by Vertical Horizon
“Slide” of the Dizzy EP by The Goo Goo Dolls
“Dosed” of By The Way by Red Hot Chili Peppers
“Last Beautiful Girl” of Mad Season by Matchbox 20
“The Phrase That Pays” of Almost Here by TheAcademyIs…
Best Movie Soundtracks
What makes a great motion picture soundtrack? It’s quite hard to explain in plain words, allow me to just give you a few examples:
City of Angels. Any album that bears the names U2, Peter Gabriel and Alanis Morisette is most definitely a shoe-in on this list of best Movie OST’s. However, what really sets this particular collection apart is Iris, a contribution from The Goo Goo Dolls. This rock ballad single-handedly bears the theme of the whole movie and has even become the one of the longest-staying anthems for broken hearts in the mid 90’s. Just say Iris and City of Angels comes to mind, it also works the other way.
Rocknrolla. The soundtrack boasts of classics like The Gun from Lou Reed and Richard Reed’s Have Love Will Travel as well as catchy new tunes like Rock and Roll Queen by The Subways. The best thing about this soundtrack is that each song brings you back to the movie house- the dark, the feel of that comfy chair, the laughs and catcalls of everyone around you. Each single song takes you right back to a particular scene. If all that isn’t enough, then the included dialogue snippets should do the trick.
I Am Sam. The refreshing renditions of classic Beatles songs like Sarah MacLachlan’s Blackbird and Ben Fold’s Golden Slumbers would make Beatle-maniacs drool and would definitely convert new ones.
High Fidelity. One simple thing says it all- Jack Black singing Let’s Get It On.
Thirteen Going on Thirty. A cool trip back in time… as cute as Jenny Garner, as cute as the movie itself.
It actually boils down to either one of these: a single song that represents the entire movie or a collection of songs that brings the movie back to memory.
a Music Legend
The rock and roll genre, may it be punk, metal or alternative, being old enough, now has countless classic bands. These bands are never forgotten, though they may not exist now, and though they may not possibly hold concerts, even for reunions; all of these bands have made great music; and as attribute to them all, we consider their music classics. There is the Beatles, Queen, Nirvana, Elvis Presley and many more. One of these classic bands is the band Led Zeppelin.
Who could have forgotten them? Their songs always made it to the top during their time. Their fame must, for sure, come from the music they produced and how the people responded to it. The people loved their songs because they were never monotonous. It seemed like they always had an adventure ready for their listeners in their every song. At first they place a spoonful of metal rock into their songs, and then they slowly added a teaspoon of folk songs then soon stirred their music with a spice of reggae and funk. The perfect blending they made with the different tastes of music probably was the reason why, up to now, they are considered one the lords of rock and roll.
