Sarah McLachlan Live
''Live'' is a 1992 live recording by Sarah McLachlan, not to be confused with the 2004 ''Live Acoustic EP''. It documents a concert that McLachlan performed in September of that year in Harbourfront, Toronto, and was released on CD in October. All of the songs originally appeared on McLachlan's 1991 album ''Solace'', except "Ben's Song", which is from her 1988 release ''Touch''. Although labelled an EP, a format that usually has a short running time and only a few tracks, this release runs more than 30 minutes, above the length threshold of being a full album. This album was released as a limited edition, which included a condensed version of McLachlan's 1991–1992 tour program; all copies released by the label have sold out. It is now considered a collector's item. It is the first of several live albums McLachlan has released to date. "Drawn to the Rhythm" was later included on the 1996 compilation ''Rarities, B-Sides and Other Stuff''. Track listing Musicians *Sarah McLa ...

Blue (Joni Mitchell Song)
"Blue" is the title song from Joni Mitchell's 1971 album of the same name. The song is generally thought to be about James Taylor, with the line "Here is a song for you" being directed to Taylor. As Sheila Weller states in the biography ''Girls Like Us'', "Its references to a drug addict's 'needles' and...proffering a seashell to her lover...make it fairly clear that 'Blue' is about James". The lines "acid, booze and ass, needles guns and grass, lots of laughs" from "Blue" were sampled for a bonus track titled "Song 4 U" on Mac Dre's '' The Genie of the Lamp'' album. The song is sampled on the track "My World Is..", from Blu and Exile's 2007 album '' Below the Heavens''. The track is also sampled on "Catch My Drift", a 1989 song by the British group A.R. Kane. "Blue" also appears in an important scene in the critically acclaimed 2019 film The Last Black Man in San Francisco. The director, Joe Talbot, was unable to secure permissions for Mac Dre's "Song 4 U" but was able to get ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Desmond Carter
Herbert Desmond Carter (15 June 1895 – 3 February 1939) was a British lyricist who worked with George and Ira Gershwin, Ivor Novello, and others, and also wrote one of the first English language versions of the notorious "suicide song", " Gloomy Sunday". He was born in Bristol. In 1924 he wrote most of the lyrics for the London musical '' Primrose'', for which Gershwin wrote the music, his first commission outside the US. The musical was revived in 2003, when one reviewer wrote: "...by far the most outstanding contribution to ''Primrose'' is the comedy lyrics of Desmond Carter, who penned the words to seventeen of the score's twenty-two songs and collaborated with Ira Gershwin on four of the remaining five. Two among them, "Isn't It Horrible What They Did to Mary, Queen of Scots" and "That New Fangled Mother of Mine," shine with humor and wordplay worthy of Noel Coward." In 1936, Carter wrote English lyrics for the song "Gloomy Sunday" (''"Szomorú vasárnap"''), which had ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gloomy Sunday
"Gloomy Sunday" ( Hungarian: ''Szomorú Vasárnap''), also known as the "Hungarian Suicide Song", is a song composed by Hungarian pianist and composer Rezső Seress and published in 1933. The original lyrics were titled "Vége a világnak" (''The world is ending'') and were about despair caused by war, ending in a quiet prayer about people's sins. Poet László Jávor wrote his own lyrics to the song, titled ''Szomorú vasárnap'' (''Sad Sunday''), in which the protagonist wants to commit suicide following his lover's death. The latter lyrics ended up becoming more popular while the former were essentially forgotten. The song was first recorded in Hungarian by pop singer Pál Kalmár in 1935. "Gloomy Sunday" was first recorded in English by Hal Kemp in 1936, with lyrics by Sam M. Lewis, and was recorded the same year by Paul Robeson, with lyrics by Desmond Carter. It became well known throughout much of the English-speaking world after the release of a version by jazz an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
