Whatever you do is a new brick in life.

The Trial: how do you judge yourself?

 

One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands: "The Trial", by Pink Floyd. This song is about life, this song is about everything, everything in just one song. The Trial is not the final song from "The Wall", but it's decisive. It's the reflex of the whole life of "Pink", the principal character of the movie.

 The song, and actually the movie, were created by Roger Waters, based on his own childhood and the cruel days of Syd Barret, former member of the band, who became mad, years after he left the band.

 

 

The whole movie (with their songs, specially "the trial") is a master piece: the amazing techniques, the intense music and melodies, the advanced animation, the weird characters and, of course, the meaningful topic and its metaphores, everything makes a perfect movie. It definitely catch your attention.

 

There are a lot of different interpretations about this song, for me it hasn't just one meaning, but like Waters said, it's like a self judgment, because in some moment of life you really have to ask yourself about you. About the decisions and mistakes you made, about friends and family, about your lifestyle, about the government, etc.

This is a reflection, a critical song in many aspects (including a critique of the British political system) to inquire about yourself and the world where you live. 

If you haven't seen the movie I really recommend you to do it.

DO SOMETHING GOOD, SOMEWHERE FOR SOMEONE ELSE

  So today i want to share this amazing Beyoncés's video with you guys called I Was Here. I pick this video because i think it give us a really strong message about the problems of the world like global warming, natural disasters, global poverty, etc.

Beyoncé aims to reach 1 billion people today on behalf of the United Nations' campaign to promote humanitarian work around the globe. The video for I Was Here, directed by Sophie Muller and Kenzo Digital and produced by Ridley Scott & Associates, was recorded live at the United Nations General Assembly Hall in New York on August 11th.





 The song is a reflective ballad,
 wanting to leave an impact on the world
 before our lifes comes to an end, tell us that we have to
 leave our mark in the world, be recognized by others
 for doing positive things like to help other humans, so
that's why it's my favorite song, because motivates you
to be more conscious with the world, with the resources
that the world give us and to be tolerant with people
and help them.

So i hope this can inspire someone to make something
good, no metter how big or small, for someone else.

MAMA TOLD ME NOT TO WASTE MY LIFE...!

Today I bring to you the song from the British Girl Group Little Mix called 'Wings'.

Little Mix is a four-piece Girl band winner of the english X FACTOR 2011, the members are Perrie, Jessy, Leigh Anne and Jade. After to won the show, the girls started to record their debut album DNA, and then they released their lead Single 'Wings' which was praised from music critics and was succesfull comercially, peaking at number 1 in UK, Ireland and Scotland Also was certified 2x Platinum by Australia, becoming the best debut of a Girlband since the Spice Girls and Girls Aloud.

The first time that I heard this song I just loved it, I felt that the song gave me all that I needed when I was bad. The song uses phrases like "Mama told me not to waste my life, she said spread your wings my little butterfly" or "Your words, don't mean nothing, I'm not listening", giving a really motivational message, "When the people call you ugly or stupid, or when criticize you and let you down, just move on, fly high, release your dreams, because you are part of this world and you are here for something, this wings are made to fly."

The colorful video, flashy clothes, dancers, the girls laughing, that really atractts my attention, is something fresh, with power and energy, and just make me dance, the music video complements very well the song, and what is the meaning. Very cheerful and catchy.

I think that is the reason for the video reaches the 40.000.000 views in youtube, because it is just fun, and maybe is a very stereotypical vision of the happiness but if the video isn't include that, then Wings, won't be Wings at least for me. And well, in this image obviously the group want to show their english identity.

Well guys here is the music video, I hope that you enjoy!! 

Once you get the meaning you can't stop thinking about it.

When dreaming becomes songs.

Begging of the chorus.

I really fell in love with this song as soon as I heard it. Because of the power of the sound but at the same time the lightness of it. Then the lyrics; once you really understand, or at least part of it (and I had to do some research because it is a pretty metaphorical song) then, you realize each person could give a completely different meaning due to his/her experiences. But to me this song is sad but beautiful, about missing someone, reminding yourself of him/her and also the idea of the fast of time

Inspired from the Wizard of Oz - clicking your heels three time takes you back home- which implies a desire for meeting again. 
(Image taken from the music video.)

This song was written by Ryan Ross and Jon Walker both ex-members but creators of the band, Ross told: (..)I was really picky about Northern Downpour. It was the most meaningful song (..) It was about touring and girlfriends and love and everything that's been important to us in the past few years (..)"

From the start of the video we see black and white colors transmitting a sensation of calmness and peace.

Also it starts with an idea completely against something very present at this age: Materialism, owning stuff and fall for them.

Later on, the chorus just nailed it, expressing again "how time flies"

It refers to how many people feel now that reality has changed so much, but also that we should appreciate what we have.

Among the song there are lots of things I'd like to remark but it's so so ha.rd to do it in few words so I'll handle an URL that helped me to really get a meaning of the song.

You put the color in my life

This is a Regina Spektor's song called "Fidelity", I chose it because now I can't put it off my head and also beacuse I like the video.

To me the song talks about a girl who never give all of herself in a relationship, because she says "I never loved nobody fully, always one foot on the ground". Make me feel like she is insecure about her feelings, or maybe about herself.(I hear in my mind all these voices, I hear in my mind all these words - She isn't sure about what is she feeling and is confused about the other people talks) 

But I think that also the song talks about the destinty and find the correct guy, because she starts the song alone "without hope" and then she started creating a man, a perfect man I guess, and in the end that man was real and makes her happy.

The video it's attractive to me, because start with all this "black and white" stuff and finish with a lot of colors and happiness.   

To me a life without color and without love isn't a complete life... I can't live without those elements

Do you value where you come from?

This is my favorite song. It is The Only Place by Best Coast. It’s about Los Angeles, California. The band is from there. It seems like the band is moving and they’re leaving their mark (Best Coast was here) around the city. The song and the video show how they have fun in that place and why they wouldn’t live anywhere else. While they’re driving through the road, they are looking back on how they used to hang out and which were their favorites activities to do. I think that this song is important to me because I agree with the message : To never forget where you come from and that it’s important to enjoy and love the place where you were born because it’s a valuable part of who we ar

e now.

  The video really draws my attention with its natural shots at open and illuminated spaces. There are common and realistic activities in the video. It’s like a video on a budget. Also it has a lot of movement and colors that give it a “vintage touch”. The video has a lot of creative scenes and rebel attitudes which I love.

It would be great to have a lifestyle like the band in the video. A “Carpe Diem” routine. But it’s an utopic life. We all know that life isn´t just about having fun. There’re rules to follow and values to keep for life. Maybe people would think, by watching this video, that the most important message here, is to do whatever you want, with whoever you want and wherever you are, but there would be other people, like me, that would see that the main reason why the message is being sent, is not to forget where you come from. Enjoy it!
