Music Time - Alpha Blondy - I Wish You Were Here

"Wish You Were Here"

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Music Time - Hadara Levin Areddy - The king beyond the wall + Why Now

I can see you now, and I can see you clear Let

the sun stand still, let the people hear Walls

are rising high & the war is near Look beyond

them walls, look beyond your fear In the

darkest times you were standing high As the

good men left, and the poor men cried And the

fools pretended and their beauty lied Were it

not for you, I'd have lost my mind Come

beyond them walls, you were calling me Where

the king is wild and the heart is free Come

and take my hands through the ice and fire Let

your song of songs, like a bird on wire I can see

you now, and I can see you clear Let the sun

stand still, let the people hear Walls are rising

high & the war is near Look beyond them

walls, look beyond your fear Can anybody hear

me now? Can anybody speak somehow for me?

Cheers, come, sit a little closer, have a little drink,
night's still here, and I ain't leaving yet. Take it.
Take it from my hand. Raise it.
Raise it, raise it to the bells that call your name,
they know it's not the same, but they're still calling.

A little bit longer, under your cover,
did you ever wonder, did you ever tell her,
did it ever matter, it's all over now.

I'm running out of words, my head of spinning thoughts,
I bring myself to you, but you keep changing, I do too,
and we keep missing, all we do.
And if you could, please unbrain this this naked, troubled, haunted wind of man, damn, I want to be your friend, I think I can.

A little bit longer, under your cover,
did you ever wonder, did you ever tell her,
did it ever matter, it's all over now.

All I do is twist and shiver, please unkiss my shame,
if there's a key to cure this river, please let it shine and rain.
Let me shout and raise all hell, and let me stay awake to tell,
I wouldn't have it any other way.

A little bit longer, under your cover,
did you ever wonder, did you ever tell her,
did it ever matter, it's all over now.

And hey, no matter what you say, I know you love me anyway.
I know you's stay. Now Stay, no matter what I say, I know I love you.
Anyway…

"I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know"

(with Beth Hart)
(originally by Donnie Hathaway)

If I ever leave you, baby
You can say that I told you so
And if I ever hurt you
You know I hurt myself as well

How is that any way for a woman to carry on?
Do you think I want my love long gone?
Said I love you more than you’ll ever know
Than you’ll ever know…

When I wasn’t making much money
You know where my paycheck went
You know I brought it home to you, baby
And I never spent a red cent

How is that any way for a woman to carry on?
Do you think I want my love long gone?
Said I love you more than you’ll ever know
More than you’ll ever know

I’m not trying to be
Just any kind of woman, no I ain’t
I’m just trying to be somebody
You can love, trust and understand
I know, I know, I know that I can be
A part of you
But no one else can see, yea
But I got to hear you say
I got to hear you say
It’s alright, it’s alright

I’m only flesh and bone
But I could be anything that you demand
I could be clean of everything
Or just a tiny grain of sand

Is that any way for a woman to carry on?
Do you think I want my love long gone?
Said I love you more than you’ll ever know
Said I love you
I love you, I love you
I love you baby baby baby more than you’ll ever know
More than you’ll ever know
More than you’ll ever know

"Close To My Fire"

(with Joe Bonamassa)
(originally by Slackwax)

Strike a match and set me on fire
Watch it burn and flames getting higher
You light me up, sweet old desire
So won’t you come close to my fire?

Baby, it’s cold when you’re gone
Don’t make me wait, wait too long
Whenever you’re near I have all this feeling
You’re melting me down
Oh, I’m a believer

Strike a match and set me on fire
Watch it burn and flames getting higher
You light me up, sweet old desire
So won’t you come close to my fire?

Boy you are my symptom delusion
You’re melting me down, my resolution
I can escape, can’t say I’m trying
You say my name , oh I can’t hide it
So come on, shoot down
Don’t smoke it down
You can’t stop craving til you come around
I can’t deny it, I’m right here at home
My fever is waiting
Oh you know I want ya

Strike a match and set me on fire
Watch it burn and flames getting higher
You light me up, sweet old desire
So won’t you come close to my fire?

Close to my fire

Ain’t no need to tell me why
Ain’t no need to tell me why
Because you know I want you to…

Strike a match and set me on fire
Watch it burn and flames getting higher
You light me up
Oh yea yea yea, You light me up
Oh come on, You light me up!
Close to my fire
Come come come come close to my fire

Orchestral Musicians Bring Whales To Surface – This Will Take Your Breath Away

Optus, the second largest telecommunications company in Australia, has a long association with nature so M&C Saatchi, Sydney set about exploring communication between humans and animals, specifically Humpback whales.

“Whale song is a form of communication,” says Ben Welsh, executive creative director, M&C Saatchi Sydney. “It’s a form of communication that the scientists at The University of Queensland have been able to decipher and learn. I was intrigued by this fact and so we asked ourselves whether it would be possible to emulate a male humpback: to write our own love song and then play it, using the instruments of an orchestra? Could we serenade a humpback ourselves? Then imagine what could happened if the whales were to hear our song. We thought that would prove that when it comes to communication, anything is possible.”

Gonna survive

I've been thinkin' about you, baby
By the light of dawn
A midnight blue, day and night

See it almost makes me crazy
Times, nothing's right, if you ain't here
I'll give all that I have just to keep you near
I wrote you a letter, I tried to make it clear
That you just don't believe that I'm sincere
I've been thinking about you, baby
Woo, hoo, hoo
Plans and schemes
Hopes and fears
Dreams that deny for all these years

It's unfortunate that when we feel a storm,
we can roll ourselves over 'cause we're uncomfortable
Oh well the devil makes us sin
But we like it when we're spinning, in his grin.
Love is like a sin my love
For the ones that feels it the most
Look at her with her eyes like a flame
She will love you like a fly will never love you, again
Oh, ho..

"Don't Wanna Fight"

My lines, your lines
Don't cross them lines
What you like, what I like
Why can't we both be right?
Attacking, defending
Until there's nothing left worth winning
Your pride and my pride
Don't waste my time

I don't wanna fight no more [x6]

Take from my hand
Put in your hands
The fruit of all my grief
Lying down ain't easy when
Everyone is pleasing
I can't get no relief

Living ain't no fun
The constant dedication
Keeping the water and power on
There ain't no money left
Why can't I catch my breath?
I'm gonna work myself to death

I don't wanna fight no more [x6]

No, no, no, no!

don't wanna fight no more [x7]
I don't wanna fight, I don't wanna fight!
I don't wanna fight no more [x8]

Gimme all your love ohh
Bit more

So tell me what you wanna do
You say the world, it doesn't fit with you
Why don't you talk to me for just a little while?
I can only try to make it right

If you just gimme all your love ohh
Gimme all you got, babe
Gimme all your love ohh

Give me all your love
Give me all you got, babe

"Wolves Without Teeth"

Open my chest and carve out the spine
I'm giving you all
I'm giving you all
Swallow my breath
And take what is mine
I'm giving you all
I'm giving you all

I'll be the blood
If you'll be the bones
I'm giving you all
I'm giving you all
So lift up my body
And lose all control
I'm giving you all
I'm giving you all

You hover like a hummingbird
Haunt me in my sleep
You'll say you're from another world
Sinking in my seat, oh
You're feeding on my energy
Letting go of it
She wants in

And I run from wolves
Breathing heavily
At my feet
And I run from wolves
Tearing into me
Without teeth

I can see through you
We are the same
It's perfectly strange
You run in my veins
How can I keep you
Inside my lungs
I breathe what is yours
You breathe what is mine

You hover like a hummingbird
Haunt me in my sleep
You'll say you're from another world
Sinking in my seat, oh
You're feeding on my energy
Letting go of it
He wants in

And I run from wolves
Breathing heavily
At my feet
And I run from wolves
Tearing into me
Without teeth

And you can follow
You can follow me
You can follow
You can follow me

You hover like a hummingbird
Haunt me in my sleep
You'll say you're from another world
Sinking in my seat, oh
"You're feeding on my energy
Letting go of it" she once said

And I run from wolves
Breathing heavily
At my feet
And I run from wolves
Tearing into me
Without teeth

And you can follow
You can follow me
You can follow
You can follow me
You can follow
You can follow me
You can follow
You can follow me

   

"Human"

When the words weigh heavy on the heart
I am lost and led only by the stars

Cage me like an animal
A crown with gems and gold
Eat me like a cannibal
Chase the neon throne

Breathe in, breathe out
Let the human in
Breathe in, breathe out
And let it in
Plants awoke and they slowly grow
Beneath the skin
So breathe in, breathe out
Let the human in

The air is silk, shadows form a grin
If I lose control I feed the beast within

Cage me like an animal
A crown with gems and gold
Eat me like a cannibal
Chase the neon throne

Breathe in, breathe out
Let the human in
Breathe in, breathe out
And let it in
Plants awoke and they slowly grow
Beneath the skin
So breathe in, breathe out
Let the human in

Cage me like an animal
A crown with gems and gold
Eat me like a cannibal
Chase the neon throne

If I could only let go

Scientists Discover Music Evolves Like A Living Species

A new study has popped up suggesting that music behaves like a living ecosystem.

This intriguing conclusion is the result of new research headed by Matthias Mauch, an engineer at Queen Mary University of London, who has been busy scrutinizing thousands of songs from the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 between 1960 and 2010. For the purpose of the study, which has been published in the Royal Society Open Science journal, Mauch split these 50 years into three main evolutionary leaps: soul, disco and hip-hop.

Next, his team began analyzing a vast collection of music 'fossils' from these decades. To gather a significant quantity of music, the team used 30-second samples of more than 17,000 songs.

Music is actually highly mathematical and therefore easy to analyze and classify. It has harmonics, chord changes, rhythm, and timbral qualities; all of which were taken into account when scanning the data using information retrieval and text-mining tools​.

One of the most reassuring conclusions that Mauch makes in his study is that, contrary to popular belief, music diversity has not in fact declined. The data show that there is no evidence of chart homogenization, but instead music trends have periods of stasis followed by rapid change. "You take something that exists. And that in biology would be genes. But it's not genes here. You just take some styles. You recombine them, like genes are recombined, and you change them as well—a bit like mutation," says Mauch.

So if you're worried that music is becoming stagnant, then perhaps it is instead signaling the next revolution. So take a minute to compose yourself, let's embark on a journey through the pop charts.

From 1960 onward, the dominant seventh chord all but disappeared from music. Examples of this chord can be found in Rock Around The Clock by Bill Haley and the Comets or I Feel So Bad by Elvis Presley. This was treble-ing news as it signaled the 'death' of jazz and blues.

Mauch says 1964 was the first of our three music revolutions: the rock and soul revolution. For rock, think Sympathy For The Devil by The Rolling Stones, and for soul recall I Heard It Through The Grapevine by Marvin Gaye.

The dominant seventh chord was replaced with the minor seventh: Lady Marmalade by LaBelle or That's The Way (I Like It) by KC & The Sunshine Band as the ‘60s crept towards the ‘70s.

By the end of the ‘70s, Mauch comments: "We can really see the influx of funk, which is really turning into disco," with hits like Tragedy by The Bee Gees.

As the ‘80s rolled in, it signaled the disco, new wave and hard rock revolution in 1983. However, the ‘80s became a sluggish time for the progression of music. 1986 stands out as a period of minimum change in diversity where chart-toppers all sounded the most alike. For example, Don't Leave Me This Way by The Communards, Living On A Prayer by Bon Jovi, and Papa Don't Preach by Madonna were all hits in 1986.

Just when music was in a progression depression, it was saved by rap and hip-hop in 1991. Tracks like Mama Said Knock You Out by LL Cool J led the biggest explosion of change in music since 1960. "This is so prominent in our analysis, because we looked at harmony—and rap and hip-hop don't use a lot of harmony. The emphasis is on speech sounds and rhythm," said Mauch, whilst discussing which elements of music they used to categorize the songs.

This brings us to modern day music; anything after 2010 wasn't included in the analysis. I could drum up a few more examples but I think i'll leave you to rock out, or baroque out, if you'd prefer.

 He said baby,
Come up to the office
You sang at my party
I owe you some money
You owe me your lips
I'm gonna give tips
I heard your boyfriend is out of town

Baby,
Aren't you hungry
I could feed you cookies
I could get my car keys
Oh what a cute dress
But right now it's useless
I heard your boyfriend is out of town

I said you should get out of town too
I said you should get out of town too

He said baby,
I know you like me
You know everyone does
Really I'm serious
We could have real fun
And we're only young once
I heard your boyfriend is out of town

Baby,
Where are you going
Don't be such a diva
You can't just leave now
Come back don't bore me
You can't just ignore me
Isn't your boyfriend out of town?

I said yes,
And you should get out of town too
I said you should get out of town too
I said you should get out of town too

He said baby,
Come up to the office
You sang at my party
I owe you some money
You owe me your lips
I'm gonna give tips

Time of My Life

From the east to the south
I tongue the roof of my mouth

To new days of doubt without you

First gear
I face the trouble ahead
Final word has been said
Long distance spread between us
I tell myself to

Hold on
It won't be long
Till I grow through this struggle

Time to wake up
Find my soul

Happy without you
Happy without you
Happy without you
Happy without you
Happy without you

Not called for weeks now
Six days without sleep means
I am a slave to my early grave
If I do not be brave, behave
Seize myself out of this mess
I have created of myself, yet again
Yet again I say

Hold on
It won't be long
till I grow through this struggle

Time to wake up
Find my soul

Happy without you
Happy without you
Happy without you
Happy without you
Happy without you

We go on
Heart beats strong
Still whole
Unbroken
As we divide
Our love, goodbye

Thanks for the time
Time of my life

Happy without you
Happy without you
Happy without you
Happy without you

Time
Time
Of my life

Time
Time
Of my life (So happy without you)

Time
Time
Of my life

Thanks for the time of my life (Happy without you)
Happy without you
Happy without you

Music time - Wye Oak - Civilian

I am nothing without pretend
I know my faults
Can't live with them
I am nothing without a man
I know my thoughts
But I can't hide them

Must you keep my baby teeth
In the bedside table with my jewelry
You still sleep in the bed with me
My jewelry, and my baby teeth

I don't need another friend
When most of them
I can barely keep up with them
Perfectly able to hold my own hand
But I still can't kiss my own neck

I wanted yo give you everything
But I still stand in awe of superficial things
I wanted to love you like
My mother's mother's mother's did
Civilian, civilian

Into the desert
Weathered forever
Desperate clouds
Follow them out
Seeing the future
Cautiously answer
It's only the plains
Sideways rain

The days whispered and shouted
And everything counted
The signs were around
We looked, so we found
Been seeking a pattern
None of it mattered
Watching the sky
Cycling by
Through windows of our past lives

We are seeing the same thing
But they are not laughing
The smoke from the engine
The bones of the plane
I notice this vaguely
But it couldn't contain me
And so I've been tamed
And so it remains
And I am ashamed
And (hiding) in the strangest pathway

Try to remember
Pen to the paper
Caution: 'get out!'
What's it about?
The pictures are empty
Voices have left me
It's only the plains
Sideways rain
And I am ashamed
And I am ashamed
And every day is just the same
