Ear-buds of Music - 28/6/2016



I know this post should have been up yesterday but due to some events, which I will go into in detail in another post, this list got delayed. Seeing as how this is already a day late, I don’t plan on delaying it Any further, so here are the seven songs for this week.

Jar of Hearts – Christina Perri
Genre: Ballad
Link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8v_4O44sfjM
While this song is really popular right now, I found out about it a long time ago when I watched Billy Bell perform an amazing contemporary dance routine is “So You Think You can Dance?” Both the song and the dance left me captivated but I ended up forgetting about it. I rediscovered when I was listening through Christina’s album, and I immediately went to Youtube to find the dance. So for your enjoyment, here is the link to the dance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8awlGJUfmWA

Just Breathe – Anna Nalick
Genre: Alternative
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdRHSuPxgXo
This is a beautiful song about growing up, rebellion and the inevitability of life. I don’t know why, but the lyrics were very relatable, at least to me. It does have a catchy vibe to it, but there is something about the song that separates it from the mainstream music that we get to hear so often. And it also helps that the vocals seem to have a very homely feel to them.

Never let me Go – Florence and the Machine
Genre: Indie Pop/Rock
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMBTvuUlm98
Never let me go is another one of those songs which I cannot explain why I like so much. I can only reiterate the fact that I like it a lot. The song has an unusual but familiar structure with a really well done chorus. And, seriously people, give Florence Welch a Grammy already. She just has some of the best vocals I have heard.

Remember the Name – Fort Minor
Genre: Rap
Link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDvr08sCPOc
Those of you who have heard this song before you will know how awesome it is. It is also one of the few raps, which straddles the line between being just fast enough that you can understand it the first time you hear it. And understanding it is all about why this rap is special. And I am pretty sure you have heard the chorus, even if you haven’t heard the song. It’s that famous

The Portrait – James Horner
Genre: Classical
Link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZpvUGmalNo
It is a solo piano piece from the sound track of the movie Titanic, and it is another piece which I have a really special and emotional connection to. Titanic is one of the few movies which make me emotional every time I watch it and this piece is one of the reasons. It is one of those pieces which you cannot help but replay it again and again in your head.

Big Jet Plane – Angus and Julia Stone
Genre: Indie Folk Rock
Link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFTvbcNhEgc
I recently started listening to many songs by this brother and sister duo, and this is one of the songs that I fell in love with almost immediately. As far as I know this song is not a metaphor for something much deeper. It is just about, without giving too much away, a jet plane. Okay, I am joking. But you will have to listen to the song to find out what it is about. It really is something special.

Xenocide – Brand X Music
Genre: Orchestral
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OX5K2edrpDA
As far as orchestral music goes, this is not the most complex pieces that I have heard, but it is one of the more epic ones. The way, it starts with a small build up, fades into a melody and picks back up again is something which made it feel really epic. And it does have an awesome ending. Check it out and feel like you have an army following you into battle as you do your home work.

There you go. Those were the seven pieces of music that I wanted to share with you guys this week. Hope you like them as much as I like them. If not, you could send me some good ones. 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...

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 ...
