Syd Barret, once a creative guitarist, with an artistic vision to collaborate light shows with the psycheldelic sound of the sixties. Shine On You Crazy Diamond was dedicated to him and the legacy he left behind. The beginning of the piece creates a calming sensation that is abrubtly followed by an energetic burst of instruments, suggesting perhaps that Syd could never just be laid back. I believe he was filled with a sense of wild creativity, when I listen to Pink Floyd’s debut album “The Piper At The Gates of Dawn” (EMI Colunbia, 1967) I hear the work of a wild and creative mind for example, listen to the song Intersteller Overdrive, featuring disjointed, distorted guitar sounds randomly played, this characterises Syd Barret’s “style ' The Music Part I The introduction begins with the fading in orchestra like passage of a string synth pad in the key of G-minor created with an EMS VCS 3, ARP Solina and a Hammond organ. The intro is not unlike that of a feature film that promises some unknown adventure, like a building storm.
He portrays the ego and genius that is recognized in the few, and the madness that so often accompanies it. In 1982, in the form of Bob Geldof, they released the pain of “Pink Floyd” the central character of the movie The Wall (1982). The facets of Pinks personality are brought home to us through melody, lyrics, through the haze of drugs and alcohol. When we attempt to analyze him in front of The Big Five trait clusters I imagine we will find him all over the place. Pinks history is a culmination of the life of primarily Roger Waters with a large helping of Syd Barrett and other members of the band.
If I Could Fly however never made anything and Satriani was seeking damages for “any and all profits”. The shared similarity between the two songs is during the chorus of, If I Could Fly and the verse of Viva La Vida. During Satriani’s chorus, you can hear a guitar riff of what Satriani and many devoted fans agree is the part Coldplay stole. The chord progression of the guitar riff is Em7- A- D- Bm which is played in the key of D major, while the vocally harmonic verse in Viva La Vida is played over Db- Eb7- Ab- Fm in the key of Ab. Wether you’re musically minded or not, these look to be completely different sounds, but diatonically, they do in fact share a similar melody.
Last year, he famously told a bewildered A$AP Rocky that one of his heroes was Arthur Lee before lecturing him on the merits of Forever Changes. The structure here suggests two LP sides, neatly divided, but one of the best things about Old is how mixed up it is—Brown's past, his present, his deranged side, his reflective side, his party songs and his nightmares. "Problems in my past haunt my future and the present," he moans
Beatles The Beatles were a new band that was completely different from others and created a substantial impact on the 1960s. The Beatles included George Harrison, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and Richard Starkey, other wise known as Ringo Starr. This group is very well known and also influenced many musicians since they formed. They were different because they were producing creative and original music and moving away from sounding like just another band trying to imitate America’s stars. Beatles music was totally unique, a mixture of rock and roll, Rhythm and Blues and Tamla Motown.
When people can’t use their own words, music says it all. Two music genres that are viewed by a lot of individuals today are Hip Hop and Classic Rock. Researching articles on these two genres has given insight to what was unknown. Classic Rock developed in the late 1940’s. Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, and Elvis Pressley introduced this Genre.
This can be seen in the poem ‘Music’ where in particular, Owen’s use of pathetic fallacy reveals to us the narrators true feelings. Therefore we are able to see that one’s emotional state of mind is projected onto his perception of his surroundings rendering music, which is an entirely subjective and state-dependent phenomenon. Accordingly, we can see this through the metaphor, “Drunk their mellow sorrows to the slake”, that alcohol is like music as it is also very state-dependent. The assonance of long and soft sounds in “mellow sorrows” may be suggesting that these soothe his pain, however could also prolong his pain as well. Owen conveys the idea that by using music and alcohol to relieve your pain is an outdated method, which we can see through the archaic diction “slake”.
In the earlier part of 1950s the world witnessed the birth of a popular music genre known as Rock Music. It is very difficult to pin point a particular song as the birth of rock, however, the most attention and credit goes to Rocket 88 by Jackie Brenston and Rock Around the Clock by Bill Haley and the comets. The new form of music with electric bass guitar and drums and cymbals was becoming increasingly popular and famous. Elvis Presley, in 1954, recorded a song at a studio in Tennessee and became a singing sensation. The new type of music was liked by other artists such as Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and many others.
Very little "jamming" was put into it and the themes in the lyrics were more morbid and serious as ever before. Some Devil is more about giving Matthews a platform to showcase his singer and songwriter side, by releasing serious and straightforward tunes with a slower beat. The album causes many to ask themselves, could there be an outstanding poet lurking behind Americas favorite "frat" boy band? One of the songs on this album, "Gravedigger" might stand out to one who has listened to the band before. Instead of
Rock music is defined as the “freely” genre of popular music created during the 1950’s. The genre of music was introduced to the world as early as 1954 and was given the name Rock and Roll. According to Scaruffi (2009) “Chuck Berry invented rock music in 1955.” But, later history shows that he didn’t invent rock music, but was one of the most influential singers, songwriters, musician, and performer to the genre of rock and roll. In the 1950’s rock music brought on a lot of great musicians and singers, rock musicians such as, Bill Haley, who recorded “Rock Around the Clock” which was the first rock and roll song to gain national popularity around the United States. Another famous musician was Elvis Presley who dazzled crowds of his peers with songs like “Heartbreak Hotel”, “Blue Suede Shoes”, and “Jailhouse Rock”.
