Ear-buds of Music - 21/6/2016


As I am typing this, I have about an hour before it becomes officially Wednesday. So without further ado, here are the seven songs of the week.

Stand By You – Rachel Platten
Genre: Pop
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwB9EMpW8eY
This song has been on repeat for the past five days on my phone. It is fun, energetic and meaningful. I mean, what more can you ask form a song. Oh, and it has some pretty nice vocals to boot. I’m pretty sure that most of you will enjoy this song. Give it a try, if you haven’t listened to it yet.

Code Name Vivaldi – The Piano Guys
Genre: Instrumental
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09RUuTAM2H0
I swear to all that is holy in this universe, these people have magic I their fingers. Quite possibly one of my favorite medleys, The Piano Guys once again manage to combine a classical master piece with a modern sound track. This sounds especially awesome when you are writing something or working really had. I am listening to this right now.

King – Years and Years
Genre: EDM, Alternative
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_uoH6hJilc
This is another one of the few EDM tracks that I actually like. The music is upbeat, but the lyrics, are oddly meaningful. I still have trouble figuring out if it is a metaphor for drug use or abuse, but I’m not sure. Or maybe the writer didn’t really think of that, and as usual, I am just over thinking it. It is a fun song to listen to though.

Halo – Beyonce
Genre: R&B
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnVUHWCynig
The Queen B has arrived. This is, as the genre suggests, a very soulful song. And Beyonce does kill it on the vocals, as if there was any question there. Fun fact, I came across this song when I was listening to the sound track of the movie Epic. But, trust me when I say this, this is not the strangest way I have found out a song I have liked.

Mt. Washington – Local Natives
Genre: Indie rock
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mN-CqIytN2U
This is another one of those songs which no one I know has ever heard of. I came across this song when I was listening to random online radio stations. It really is one of a kind, with awfully meaningful lyrics, at least metaphorically. And I really ended up liking the flow of the song for some reason.

Mountains – Message to Bears
Genre: Acoustic
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXcOyYEldZY
This song is very close to my heart for a multitude of reasons, one of them being the music video. It is mostly instrumental, but it does have some haunting lyrics thrown in for good measure. I am not sure how many of you will like it, but I implore you that you give it a listen. I consider it so special because this song can mean different things for different people. That’s why it is so powerful.

An Ode to Infinity – Kashyap Vadapalli
Genre: Classical
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hhxrr8jSSyg
This piece is a composition of one of my close friends. Now you may say that, oh look at him, he is promoting his friend. But trust me when I say this, if someone creates crap and propagates it in the name of art, I will say that it is crap irrespective of who the creator is. I really like to listen to this piece, and I simply wanted to include it here, because for the past four days I have been listening to it before going to bed. While it may not be musically complex, it is something that I enjoy.

So there you go; seven tracks of the week. I say this in every single one of my posts and I am pretty sure everybody ignores it, but I am going to say it anyway. Please share some of your favorite songs in the comments section. I would love to hear them. Until next time;

Peace!!!

The Dramatic Arts : Saduranga Parvai

Image
When creating a play, it is difficult to achieve both critical and commercial acclaim; but once you do it becomes even more difficult to do it once again. It’s like lightning striking the same place twice; it is possible, just incredibly rare. After the incredible success of Kaleeshwarabhavanam, with its incredible sets, powerful music and impeccable lighting, the bar was set incredibly high for Koothapiran Navabharath Theaters; and with their newest play Saduranga Parvai they aimed to set the bar even higher. Did they do it? Let’s find out, in this in-depth analysis of Saduranga Parvai. Seeing as how an in-depth analysis is something that I have not done before, I want to preface it by saying that I will be spoiling some details, barring the main twist of the play, as it is its most important component. This is something new I am planning to do with the Drama reviews this year both in an attempt to improve my own writing and also because I believe an in-depth analysis will g...

Trial and Error: Change

Here is another Trail an error post. This one is my version of Lara’s first kill from Tomb Raider 2013. Again no plagiarism intended. All rights go to the respective studios. Please don’t sue me. Let me know what you guys think and I also take requests. Anything to improve my writing J Disclaimer: I Do NOT own Tomb Raider. All Rights go the owners. He ran his fingers on her. The Russian. Lara didn’t like it. She knew what he had in mind. She was afraid. She heard James, a deckhand scream. He escaped from his bonds and ran. “Lara, run.” Those were his last words. The Russian’s bullet hit its mark. The scuffle had given the others a chance to escape. She tried to follow. She felt the Russian hit her. She fell down tasting blood. “Don’t you fucking move.” He said and went after the others. She had to escape. She struggled to her feet and moved into the shadows of the trees. Evading the searchlights she entered the village. The village burnt by the Russian and his me...

Movie Review : Independence Day Resurgance

Image
Ok screw this, I’m just going to come out and say it. Independence Day resurgence is complete and utter garbage. There is your review. Until next time; Peace!!! _ _ _ _ _ _ What are you still here? I just reviewed the whole movie. It is garbage. _ _ _ *Sigh* Fine I’ll go into a bit more detail. But please do not expect my usual format because I don’t have the patience to dissect this movie any further. Independence Day Resurgence is set twenty years after the original movie and it is basically the story of how the aliens come back for another round of ass kicking from America, the greatest country in the history of the universe. I will be the first person to admit that I like bad action movies. But here is the thing, most bad action movies are fun to watch. Most actors in a bad action movie know that they are in a bad action movie and they have a hell of a time on screen. Take London has Fallen for example. It is a really bad movie. But I ...
