         <description><![CDATA[<div>    I want to talk about the song “Oblivion” which is a song by Canadian singer Grimes (Claire Elise Boucher) from her third studio album, Visions. The song is one of Grimes' most successful releases and was named the best song of 2012 on Pitchfork, which in 2019 also named it the second best song of the decade.&nbsp;<br><br>     The song includes ethereal layered vocals, electronic pop sound and a shuffling drum beat, Oblivion presents itself as a groovy and experimental pop song. It has a dark sound to it, like a feeling of paranoia. The album was recorded entirely on Apple's GarageBand software in Grimes' apartment over a three-week period. She recorded the album at a "psychotic pace", not sleeping or eating for nine days. She created the album hoping to "clear her mental slate”.&nbsp;</div><div>As Grimes begins to repeat the last line of the second verse, she’s cut off by “Lalalalala!” She tries to express her need to “watch her health,” and therefore showcase that she’s struggling.</div><div>Given the title, demonstrating her alternative style while depicting isolation, initially the song reflects self-seclusion. However, its lighter characteristic mask a dark story.&nbsp;</div><div>In an 2012 interview, Boucher explained the song’s true meaning:</div><div><br>     “The song is about being violently assaulted and it made me crazy for a few years. I got really paranoid walking around at night and started feeling really unsafe. The song is more about empowering myself physically amongst a masculine power, and the hate of feeling powerless, making light of masculine physical power, making it jovial and non-threatening. I took a typically violent cultural situation and made it pop and happy.”<br><br></div><div>     The music video, which was co-directed by Grimes and her friend, with a really low budget, shows Grimes amongst shirtless boys, as well as in a men's locker room surrounded by weightlifting athletes. "Art gives me an outlet where I can be aggressive in a world where I usually can't be, and part of it was asserting this abstract female power in these male-dominated arenas—the video is somewhat about objectifying men. Not in a disrespectful way, though," she explained.<br><br></div><div>    I, fortunately can’t relate to the meaning and topic of the song, but sadly a lot of people, especially women (as Grimes pointed out), would relate to being scared of walking alone at night and feeling unsafe. While she acknowledges her assault, she refuses to turn it into a rant against men.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>    Visions was acclaimed by music critics and was included in several year-end lists. The album's two singles, "Oblivion" and "Genesis", were named among the best songs of 2012 by many publications including Rolling Stone, Pitchfork. It has also appeared on several decade-end lists, with Gorilla vs. Bear naming it the best album of the decade and Pitchfork naming "Oblivion" as the second best song of the decade.</div><div>She takes upon a horrifying experience and converts it into an anthem of self-assurance and also a piece of art.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>&nbsp;I want to talk about the song " Highest in the room", which belong to singer Travis Scott. While using some of the most unique sounds, Scott ties in the original fundamentals of trap music to create out of this world tracks. His influence has helped breakdown barriers in hip-hop, allowing artist to be more free and creative with their sound.<br>The first few notes make it clear that the grand, psychedelic sound that influenced his last album is no longer present. Instead, something simpler takes its place in the form of looping plucky acoustic guitar strums and a drum pattern that sounds similar to his single from last year, “Butterfly Effect.” It’s not the most generic sounding beat but it’s also not the most exciting to hear Scott on, especially since his performance on it is sub-par.<br>The song gives fans a small taste for what’s potentially in store for the star’s next project but instead of sounding like an expansion of his sound, it sounds like a reboot.<br>Lyrically, the song features the standard for Scott.&nbsp; “She fill my mind up with ideas/I’m the highest in the room” he bluntly hums on the chorus potentially referencing his now ex-girlfriend Kylie Jenner or more likely drugs. Drugs, girls, fame, and money have been staples of his music for his entire career.The flow barely changes and many of his lines are hardly memorable.&nbsp;<br>This song is really sound greate!</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I want to talk about song “Another Love” , which belongs to singer Tom Odell.Tom Odell, a singer from England, released this song on 15 October 2012. “Another Love” holds the distinction of being Tom’s debut single. It remains by far his biggest hit even up until the writing of this post, almost a decade later.This track, whose primary label is Columbia Records, originally came out as part of Tom Odell’s first EP, “Songs from Another Love“. But shortly thereafter it was also featured on his debut LP, “Long Way Down”.“Another Love” was a big hit, charting in nearly 15 countries and in the process breaking the top 10 of the UK Singles Chart and reaching number 1 in Belgium. The song has also achieved multi-platinum status in the UK, Italy and Mexico.<br>Odell, who would have been 21 years old at the time “Another Love” was dropped, wrote this song himself. He has actually been musically active since 13 and later down the line caught the attention of a more established English musician, Lily Allen, who put him on. And this song’s producer is Dan Grech-Marguerat.And another English artist, Jamie Thraves, directed what is known as the “short film” music video to “Another Love”, which was shot in Los Angeles and features an actress by the name of Sara Navratil.Tom Odell became famous for his romantic lyrics and sweet voice with an unusual timbre.&nbsp; All his songs are very expressive, emotional and filled with melancholy.In the song "Another love", Tom sings about the struggle for love, that he wants to "cry, learn to love", but all his tears are already "cry for another love." The phrase about "sharing nights with others" is a clear allusion to&nbsp; other relationship of the hero. Odell has revealed that the ex being referred to is someone who broke his heart a few years prior to this song coming out. The phrase “I want to learn to love” just shows that the lyrical hero is not familiar with true love. The main character cries because he can't help himself.&nbsp; Fear literally envelops him, forcing him to numb.<br>We are all afraid to take the first step, so we only dream of happiness.&nbsp; But in these fantasies we lose the most important thing - reality.&nbsp; Only there, deep in fantasies, we are happy, but in life we ​​are as lonely and lost as possible.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Today I wanna talk about song - At my worst by Pink Sweats.&nbsp;<br>This tune has a sweet, innocent feel that will make anyone’s heart swoon way past the month of February. The melody of the chords comforts while the lyrics say the things that the reader may be afraid to say out loud. Love songs aren’t something new for Pink Sweat$. You may be familiar with his most streamed Spotify track, “Honesty.”<br>One very important person in my life got me obsessed with this song. Not only is it his favorite song, but it really depicts his importance to me. The song, “At My Worst,” is about love. Specifically, having a love for someone even at your worst. Imperfections are something that everyone has their doubts about, including myself. I find that this song’s message not only adheres to relationships but also family and friendships so I loved that versatility in the meaning.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>https://youtu.be/fJkzA9bFBVc<br><br>Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924) is a notoriously popular composer. Popular, in terms of sheer numbers of admirers during his lifetime and enduring resonance with audiences today; tellingly, he enjoyed the revenue from his work whilst still alive. Notorious, in that he attracted accusations of both proto-fascism and, more seriously, musical superficiality and a too-keen, tokenistic desire to please. And notoriously popular perhaps more in the spirit of his predecessor Verdi (1813-1901), in that it seems an instance of an artist having a large following during his lifetime is often seen to have something a little suspicious about it. Yet, unusually for an opera, and this is further one of a handful without an overture, the most recognisable musical line of Tosca isn’t heard until the final act.<br><br>First premiered in 1900 to the smart red boxes and broad floor of the Costanzi Theatre in Rome, itself a bustling cultural centre during this period, Tosca was performed to cries of encore for a receptive and loud audience comprising, amongst others, both the Queen and Prime Minister. Royalty and other important figures were more common sights at the main events of the Italian capital at this time, whilst it could be argued opera was verging on something of a national art form in a way classical music has scarce existed in Britain—either institutionally or more informally.<br><br>But this is about more than just ‘the music’. The opera’s bloody story comes from the French playwright Sardou, the outline of which would have been familiar to many if they’d already seen Sardou’s play in Europe, and also as the same stories further tended to rigorously be ‘doing the rounds’. Importantly, this was no shockingly new subject or unpredictable narrative shape.<br><br>Unfortunately, the ENO’s practice of producing foreign-language works in English translation lets this one down. Not only does the translation sometime jar the musical line—though perhaps this is an inevitable problem—but the English words are not clear enough to come across without a need to recourse to the written translation running above the stage.<br><br>But overall, this is a strong production, and both Anthony Michaels-Moore and Julian Gavin deserve special praise. Hopefully, a more considered exploration of Puccini’s work, and the historical context which gives it depth, might reinvigorate the appeal and standing of the popular appeal of Italian opera</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<blockquote>Today I want to share with you my opinion about the song "Brian is the Most Beautiful" by Memo Boy<br>&nbsp;<br>This song was released on 2021-06-04 and is from the album "Songs &amp; Demos"<br><br>There are no words in this song, as in most of the artist's tracks, but it is very calming and relaxing for the listener.<br>I really like the pleasant sounds of the guitar, a bit of retro aesthetics emanates from this work. The mood of this song is a bit depressing for me.<br>This is the perfect track to sit by the window late at night and watch the raindrops roll down the glass.<br><br>Memo Boy-OTTO, an electronics student, analogue synth designer and musician, caught the attention of PLZ Make It Ruins label head Vegyn with early musical sketches posted to Soundcloud. OTTO’s musical world, a multi-verse containing highly tuned voices meant to represent “corporate sprites”, immaculately programmed rhythms, glitchy breakbeats and custom built synthesizer art pieces was hard to ignore.<br><br></blockquote><div>&nbsp;</div><div><br></div>]]></description>
