Exodus by Bob Marley and the Wailers Exodus is a CD released by Bob Marley and the Wailers in 1977. This was the first album written in London after Bob Marley and his wife Rita were almost murdered in Jamaica. This is one of my favorite albums because Bob Marley is extremely relaxing to listen to with his complex rhythms. His music incorporates collaborations of multiple types of music like reggae, blues, pop, soul, and more. “One Love” by Bob Marley debuted on this album and became one of his most well known songs. The lyrics from this song inspired me and many others. Time magazine named Exodus the best album of the 20th century. More than half of this album was charged with religious politics. It was filled with moral messages for not …show more content…
It features many guest appearances but the main artists on the album are Lil Wayne, Lloyd, Drake, Tyga, Nicki Minaj, Gudda Gudda, and Jae Millz. Majority of my favorite rappers are featured on this album. It is one of the biggest rap collaboration CDs of all time! The lead single “BedRock” by Young Money also happens to be one of my favorite songs. I absolutely love the word play and creativity all the artists use in this song. Metaphor after metaphor is used to paint a picture in your mind in every song. I listened to this CD over and over in the car when I was 16. The whole album is filled with great energy and a lot of …show more content…
The CD hit number one on Billboard charts almost immediately. This album reminds me of my childhood because I watched the movie over and over. All of the songs have a magical feeling to them. The orchestra in the background of the songs is absolutely beautiful. Some of the songs are just the orchestra and it's amazing that you can tell exactly what emotion is happening in the movie without seeing it. I love every track but my favorites are “Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo” by Walt Disney Records and “A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes” by Walt Disney Records which are both Disney
Drifters by Bruce Dawe This poem is about a family that’s always on the move, with no place to settle down for long, hence the poem was titled ‘Drifters’ to describe this family. ‘Drifters’ looks at the members of this family response to frequently change and how it has affected them. This poem is told in third person narration in a conversational tone. This gives the feeling as if someone who knows this family is telling the responder the situation of this family.
During the summer of 1984, Calvin Johnson trudges knee deep through a swamp in the wetlands of South Georgia. As snakes brush past his legs, he marches in line with nine other men, each dressed in an orange jumpsuit, swinging a razor sharp bush axe in collective rhythm. His crew entered the swamp at dawn and they will not leave until dusk. Guards, armed with shotguns, and equally violent tempers, ignore the fact that the temperature has risen well above 100 degrees and push the men even harder. Suddenly, an orange blur falls to the ground and a prisoner from Wayne Correctional Institution lies face down in the swampy floor. As guards bark orders at the unconscious, dying man, Johnson realizes "the truth of the situation, and the force of injustice just incapacitates" him. It is then he decides he does not belong in the swamp.
Robert Laurence Moore has written a delightful, enlightening, and provocative survey of American church history centered around the theme of "mixing" the "sacred" with the "secular" and vice versa. The major points of conversation covered include the polarization caused by the public display of religious symbols, the important contribution that women and Africans have made to the American religious mosaic, the harmony and friction that has existed between science and religion, the impact of immigration on religious pluralism, and the twin push toward the union and separation of religion and politics.
It is also the piece that had enough of an effect to make the evil man go away, in the film, Fantasia. My strongest reaction to this piece, is the warm and chilled feeling I get hearing it. The idea of developing “chilled” bones from music is amazing. I arrived at this certain place, by truly diving into the song. I really listened to it, and could hear the seriousness in the singer’s voice. I could hear and understand the passion that the musicians felt when they pressed the piano’s keyboards. The singing, along with the instruments complimenting, is astonishing. I caught myself listening to this piece during the interview, and I could imagine even an evil monster falling in love with this tune enough to turn good. I felt the drama and power in the singing, and the seriousness in the playing of the
The album is bloated with intoxicating beats and production credits including Timberland, Kanye West, Polow, Jazze Pha, and Needlez to name a few. Overall, Rich Boy's album will offer a glimpse into all the experiences of making him who he is, while making sure your neck snaps to the beats and grooves.
This is his third mixtape Chance made during his music career, and is widely praised from music reviewing websites such as Metacritic, for its fusion of hip-hop and gospel sounds. In my opinion, it is one of Chance’s best work, as it features many songs that talks about how he overcame struggles in life using music, family, and God to become where he is now. It is the first mixtape to ever chart on Billboards 200 solely on streams, peaking at number 8. There is a total of 14 songs on the album, with three of them singles, that were used for promotional uses to be played on radio (Coloring Book, 2016).
In my opinion, the second cd of this compilation is much better then the first one, because i enjoyed listening to the classic songs from Gershwin's musicals. The first half of the first cd, is enjoyable with songs like "Summertime", "S' Wonderful etc.
Who is the birthday party a rite of passage for, the birthday boy or his mother?
.... While it was good for its era and considered a classic by many, this film has many flaws due to the technological constraints. The musical numbers aren’t catchy, the story felt lacking, the visuals are putrid at times, and I have no idea how it won the Oscar for special effects. The orphans seemed to show little importance to the story besides Paul. After Charlie displayed arrogance, he never did anything to sway away from that. Carrie had the smallest part of the film and it seemed almost non-existent. Paul was probably the only orphan required for the story to progress. I would only recommend this movie to those who are either a fan of classic Disney movies or to a parent that would like to show their children something different. Despite winning an Oscar for special effects and being deemed a classic, Disney’s Bedknob and Broomsticks is rather average.
Within two weeks of his self-titled fifth studio album, FUTURE, the Atlanta rapper returns with HNDRXX, his sixth studio album with a lot of emotions to spill. To release two full-length albums merely weeks apart gives us a spilt metaphor of trap and R&B and the separation between the mind and body. Future becomes brutally honest throughout the codeine and confessions of the women, drugs, money and success. FUTURE gives us some highlight hits like “Rent Money,” “Draco,” “Mask Off,” “High Demand” and “Feds Did a Sweep,” but fails to live up to the hype.

The poem 'Homecoming' originates from Bruce Dawe. Its journey depicts the aspects of war and its devastations upon human individuals. Using mainly the Vietnam War as a demonstration for its destructions.
This film to start off with has beautiful cinematography. I really enjoy the opening scene of the movie where the scenes are laid out and in super slow motion. The cinematography in these opening scenes is what caused me to keep watching the film as long as I did. I sometimes did not understand the reason for this during the movie, but most of the scenes that appeared in the beginning of the film appeared sporadically throughout the film. The soundtrack in the beginning of the movie really depressed you during the opening slow motion scenes. Throughout the whole movie, anytime there was a downfall or a moment to worry that song would come on and play. Eventually that song lost its power to me because it was so frequent that it was used. The sound was awesome in my opinion, not only soundtrack wise, but also just the regular everyday sounds. It made it feel like you w...
At the same time Marley was battling cancer. In the Rolling Stone website (2014), photographer Dennis Morris presents photos of Marley, displaying one titled Redemption Song. Morris reports that in the photo Marley is playing Redemption Song and that he was privileg...
Howard Shore caused a musical adventure and created an environment musically that helped the audience have an emotional feel for the movie also to help increase the dialogue and action to the film. This allowed the film the “cherry on top” complete feeling; intensifying the movie experience. Throughout the film Howard Shore incorporates many popular artists such as: Sia, Vampire Weekend, Muse, CeeLo Green Beck & Bat for Lashes and the list continues with a few more great bands and artists which were featured in the film. I believe the key to making nearly all movies fall in place and complete is the original score. Howard Shore did a fantastic job using original score pieces. Throughout the film there are eighteen scenes and all of which include music even if it was a original score this helped the scene flow together with the film also allowing the audience to feel the emotions the characters where undergoing as well as the character.
