Dave Barnes – Little Lies | Single Review

Dave Barnes – Little Lies | Single Review - Permainan melidius gitar akustik membuka Little Lies dan chorus “La la la la la la / These little lies / La la la la la la / These little lies” yang sangat catchy menjadi bagian yang sangat menarik dari lagu ini. Saya sendiri begitu terkesan saat pertama kali mendengarkan Little Lies dan tidak perlu berpikir panjang untuk menyukainya; mudah cerna tanpa harus membeli mesin penggiling membantu melumatkan setiap nada-nada dalam single ini.

Di samping itu, Little Lies sendiri menyajikan vokal riang ceria meski lebih condong menghibur diri atas retaknya sebuah hubungan (‘We both know, we don’t sing along’ dan ‘And I’m sorry for hurting you’) bukannya bercerita tentang kebahagiaan, serta lirik yang lebih mengeksplorasi kekuatan kata-kata seperti “Words can be daffodils / Or a fire in an open field / I’m sitting here in the ash / Stupid words, I can’t take back”. Kata-kata memang bisa membuat hati berbunga-bunga tapi bisa juga menyalakan api membakar amarah meretakkan hubungan – kata-kata bodoh yang sudah dilontarkan tidak dapat ambil kembali seperti ludah yang tidak mungkin untuk dijilat kembali. – {IMO}-

Dave Barnes - Little Lies Lyrics:

Everything is beautiful
Cotton fields, the open road
Your radio plays a song
We both know, we don’t sing along

La la la la la la
These little lies
La la la la la la
These little lies

La la la la la la
These little lies
La la la la la la
These little lies

Words can be daffodils
Or a fire in an open field
I’m sitting here in the ash
Stupid words, I can’t take back

La la la la la la
These little lies
La la la la la la
These little lies

La la la la la la
These little lies
La la la la la la
These little lies

There’s a devil on my shoulder, babe
And I believe too many things he says
I’m fighting these fears as I find the truth
And I’m sorry for hurting you

La la la la la la
These little lies
La la la la la la
These little lies

La la la la la la
These little lies
La la la la la la
These little lies

La la la la la la
These little lies
La la la la la la
These little lies

La la la la la la
These little lies
La la la la la la
These little lies

Biffy Clyro – Bubbles | Single Review

Biffy Clyro – Bubbles | Single Review - Biffy Clyro adalah sebuah kelompok yang benar-benar aneh, album pertama mereka adalah salah satu wadah menumpahkan pendapat tersebut. Anda mungkin adalah salah satu dari yang orang yang setuju setelah mendengar chord pertama pada lagu pertama mereka atau Anda hanya tidak menyadarinya. Tren ini berlanjut sampai album keempat mereka , namun kelihatannya band ini mengambil perubahan yang berbeda dan massa penggemar baru berkumpul bersama, Biffy Clyro tampaknya telah mengambil catatan dan membawanya ke dalam album studio kelima mereka ‘Only Revolutions.'

Bubbles’ adalah single kelima dari album terbaru mereka yang memperlihatkan keyakinan band dan label dengan materi album yang lebih radio friendly. Sepertinya Biffy Clyro telah menghirup udara segar dan memang semuanya tampak jatuh pada tempatnya. Vokal Simon Neil benar-benar tepat sasaran seperti palu memukul paku di kepala. Pada saat aksen Skotlandia-nya muncul dan pujian atas riff gitar spiral yang dimainkan oleh Josh Homme dari Queens of the Stone Age, mungkin tidak segarang lagu-lagu mereka sebelumnya tetapi perpisahan yang sempurna mengarah pada ‘Only Revolutions’.

Biffy Clyro - Bubbles Lyrics:

Well how’s your view of things today?
Got up young to fade away
The sinners sin but aren’t aware
Our fables take us everywhere
I can’t keep up with you
I can’t keep up

I can’t compete with history
We’ll film it live but dub our tale
The mystery must stay inside
Look at our homes, look at our lives
In control of the morning
In control of the sea

You are creating all the bubbles at night
I’m chasing round trying to pop them all the time
We don’t need to trust a single word they say
You are creating all the bubbles at play

There’s a girl, there’s a girl, there’s a girl, there’s a girl
And she’s down by the river
In her own creepy world there’s a girl, there’s a girl
And she’s down by the river
It’s time to consider
That baby is a sinner
She’ll wash away your sins (Wash away your sins)
She’ll wash away your sins (Wash away your sins)
She’ll wash away your sins and go home

I only once upset my kin
Accused him of a moral slip
He came back and claimed the change
I know his life’s the same again
I can’t ask him again
I should let it go

You are creating all the bubbles at night
I’m chasing round trying to pop them all the time
We don’t need to trust a single word they say
You are creating all the bubbles at play

There’s a girl, there’s a girl, there’s a girl, there’s a girl
And she’s down by the river
In her own creepy world there’s a girl, there’s a girl
And she’s down by the river
It’s time to consider
That baby is a sinner
There’s a girl, there’s a girl, there’s a girl, there’s a girl
(Wash away your sins, wash away your sins)
She’s face down in the river

Tenth Avenue North – Healing Begins | Single Review

Tenth Avenue North – Healing Begins | Single Review - Tenth Avenue North telah menikmati kesuksesannya sebagai bintang baru Christian Music ketika debut album mereka Over and Underneath berhasil terjual 200.000 copy dan meroket sebagai salah satu band yang dikenal di jajaran band Christian Music. Musik mereka siap untuk dinikmati oleh para pecinta musik terutama pencinta Christian Music. Pada tahun 2009 mereka diganjar sebagai Best New Artist of the Year di ajang Dove Award, serta Song of the Year untuk By Your Side di Dove Award 2010. Tidak hanya itu mereka juga dinominasikan sebagai Group of the Year pada tahun 2010.

The Light Meets the Dark adalah judul album mereka tahun 2010 ini. Sang Vokalis Mike Donehey memberikan penyataan mengenai project mereka yang satu ini, “Seluruh konsep rekaman ini adalah ‘langkah selanjutnya’ dari tekaman terakhir kami. Dalam rekaman pertama, semuanya bertujuan mengacaukan Injil ke dalam kepala orang. Dengan demikian maksud kami, gagasan seperti itu bikin kita jauh lebih buruk dari yang pernah kita berikan atas kredit untuk diri kita. Tetapi pada saat yang sama kita lebih dicintai dan diterima daripada kita berani mimpi… Mudah-mudahan rekaman berikutnya adalah langkah selanjutnya, di mana jika Anda benar-benar percaya Injil, kepercayaan itu mulai melakukan sesuatu di dalam diri kamu”

Hal semacam itu tercermin dalam lagu-lagu mereka yang mencerminkan proses mencakup segala hal tentang bagaimana kedatangan Tuhan dalam berbagai aspek kehidupan kita, tentang perubahan hati, tetesan air mata, pembentukan kembali prioritas kita, dan menebus kesalahan kita dalam perlindungan kasih-Nya sebagai orang percaya.

Dengan mendengarkan, jelas Mike Donehey, Jeff Owen dan Jason Jamison mengambil langkah berani untuk maju dalam perjalanan musik mereka. Band yang berasal dari Florida ini muncul dengan sambil membawa pesan, membuat mereka melaju ke tingkat yang lebih berpengalaman sebagai musisi dan intensitas bermusiknya yang benar-benar terasah.

Dan memang rasanya lagu mereka Healing Begins ingin mengirimkan pesan atau tujuan album mereka sejak awal. Lagu ini berbicara tentang kita – bagaimana kita berusaha untuk menjaga dinding pertahanan kita, bekerja keras untuk menunjukkan sisi baik kita, takut membiarkan rahasia terkuak dan terjebak dalam pesona kesenangan duniawi. Dalam lirik lagu ini : “So let them fall down, there’s freedom waiting in the sound, when you let your walls fall to the ground. Don’t fight this coming light. Let this blood come cover us. His blood can cover us.” Jadi biarkan cahaya itu datang dan darah-Nya menyembuhkan kita. Saya harap anda mengerti apa yang saya maksud.

Tenth Avenue North - Healing Begins Lyrics:


So you thought you had to keep this up
All the work that you do
So we think that you’re good
And you can’t believe it’s not enough
All the walls you built up
Are just glass on the outside

So let ‘em fall down
There’s freedom waiting in the sound
When you let your walls fall to the ground
We’re here now

This is where the healing begins, oh
This is where the healing starts
When you come to where you’re broken within
The light meets the dark
The light meets the dark

Afraid to let your secrets out
Everything that you hide
Can come crashing through the door now
But too scared to face all your fear
So you hide but you find
That the shame won’t disappear

So let it fall down
There’s freedom waiting in the sound
When you let your walls fall to the ground
We’re here now
We’re here now, oh

This is where the healing begins, oh
This is where the healing starts
When you come to where you’re broken within
The light meets the dark
The light meets the dark

Sparks will fly as grace collides
With the dark inside of us
So please don’t fight
This coming light
Let this blood come cover us
His blood can cover us

This is where the healing begins, oh
This is where the healing starts
When you come to where you’re broken within
The light meets the dark
The light meets the dark

Katy Perry Feat. Snoop Dogg – California Gurls | Single Review

Katy Perry Feat. Snoop Dogg – California Gurls | Single Review - Katy Perry menggebrak promosi dengan singlenya berjudul California Gurls di situs resminya, “Summer starts now!!” Pertama kali mendengarkan lagu ini, rasanya Katy Perry tidak jauh dari sasaran, Carifornia tentunya. Dibuka oleh Snoop Dogg, “Greetings loved ones, let’s take a journey,” kita sepertinya diangkut ke pantai California, membayangkan pemandangan pantai, bikini, dan terik matahari yang akan mencairkan es krim, “will melt your popsicle.”

Lagu ini memang berbusa pop diramu dengan electropop yang kental ala music dance Calvin Harris serta digiling dengan beat-beat keren yang pernah kita dengarkan dalam tik-tok-nya Mbak Dollar, Ke$ha. Mungkin California Gurls adalah single yang Anda paling nanti-nantikan dari seorang Katy, menantikan musim panas, menuangkan perasaan bahagia bersama orang terdekat Anda sambil sambil terlentang di atas pasir putih berjemur di bawah sinar matahari.

Pernahkah anda mengengarkan lagu dari The Feeling berjudul Love It When You Call? Jika pernah, saya rasa anda bisa menemukan di mana letak persamaan antara Love It When You Call dengan California Gurls.

Katy Perry Feat. Snoop Dogg - California Girls Lyrics:

I know a place
Where the grass is really greener
Warm, wet and wild
There must be something in the water
Sippin’ gin and juice
Laying underneath the palm trees
The boys
Break their necks
Try’na to creep a little sneak peek
(at us)

You could travel the world
But nothing comes close
to the golden coast
Once you party with us
You’ll be falling in love
Oooooh Oh Oooooh

California girls
We’re unforgettable
Daisy Dukes
Bikinis on top
Sun-kissed skin
So hot
will melt your popsicle
Oooooh Oh Oooooh

California girls
We’re undeniable
Fine, fresh, fierce
We got it on lock
West coast represent
Now put your hands up
Oooooh Oh Oooooh

Sex on a beach
We get sand in our stilletos
We freak
In my jeep
Snoop Doggy-Dog on the stereo

You could travel the world
But nothing comes close
to the golden coast
Once you party with us
You’ll be falling in love
Oooooh Oh Oooooh

California girls
We’re unforgettable
Daisy Dukes
Bikinis on top
Sun-kissed skin
So hot

Venice beach
and Palm Springs
Summer time is everything

(Californiaaa)
I really wish
You all could be
California girls
(Californiaaa, yeah)

Donkeyboy – Ambitions | Single Review

Donkeyboy – Ambitions | Single Review - Donkeyboy adalah band pop synth dari Drammen, Norwegia. Band ini terbentuk pada tahun 2005. Anggota per Juni 2009 adalah Cato Sundberg (vocals, rhythm guitar) Kent Sundberg (synth, backing vocals) Peter Michelsen (guitar, backing vocals), Thomas Drabløs (drums), and Alexander Garborg Ågedal (bass guitar).

Single pertama mereka, “Ambitions”, dirilis oleh label Warner Music Norwegia pada tanggal 30 Maret 2009. Ternyata Album debut mereka “Caught In A Life” yang dirilis pada tanggal 19 Oktober 2009 lalu secara umum diterima dengan baik dan mendapat sertifikat platinum di Norwegia. Linnea Dale, mantan finalis Idol Norwegia, adalah guest singer di single pertama, “Ambitions”. Donkeyboy juga berhasil memenangkan tiga kategori salah satu music award yang terkenal di norwegia “Spellemannsprisen” untuk Best video, Best newcomer dan This years hit untuk single “Ambitions” pada tanggal 3 Juni 2010.

Yang menarik dari Donkeyboy adalah ketika mendengarkan musik mereka, emosi akan terbawa ke dalam pengalaman hidup Cato dan Kenta. Semua kerja keras mereka dituangkan ke dalam musik, sehingga mampu menghasilkan single seperti ‘Ambitions’ dengan aroma synth-pop dipadu dengan melodi super catchy serta vokal yang apik menyertainya. “Awalnya, kami hanya bermain di ruang bawah tanah rumah orang tua kami,” kata Cato. “Tidak ada yang tahu siapa kami. Sekarang anak-anak menghentikan kami di jalan untuk meminta tanda tangan. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa mereka menerima music kami dan hal itu adalah baik bagi kami untuk menjadi ‘role models’ positif.”

Setelah saya mendengar lagu-lagu yang terkenal di tahun 80-an seperti ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody’ (Whitney Houston), ‘Billie Jean’ (Michael Jackson), ‘We Built This City’ (Starship) dan beberapa lagu Madonna yang terkenal di tahun 80-an, saat itulah saya berpikir kalau music mereka dipengaruhi oleh alunan-alunan music yang pernah terkenal di tahun 80-an. Namun adanya tambahan berbagai efek futuristik dan beat-beat catchy dalam music mereka seperti dalam “Ambitions” yang membuat mereka menjadi berbeda. “Ambitions” memang bisa bikin kita bergoyang namun bukan untuk jingkrat-jingkrat karena nuansa soul dalam lagu ini yang akan akan menghentikan sepak terjang kamu termasuk saya.

Donkeyboy – Ambitions Lyrics:

Now, I can’t behave
I feel it in my feet on the streets
But don’t you know?
There’s something I can feel when I breathe

I told you once
You’re breaking into separate parts
But don’t you know?
It’s something that I can’t live without

And if somebody’s going to make it
then this somebody ought to be you
And I keep telling my reflection
Ambitions are already starting to fade

I can’t tolerate
The feelings that I feel when I feel
But don’t you know?
Some feelings never seem to let go

Like a silverblade
I cut my way out of control
But don’t you know?
Some blades will cut you right to the bone

And if somebody’s going to make it
then this somebody ought to be you
And if somebody’s going to fake it
then this somebody, somebody is you
If it’s me that was going to take it
then I know that it wouldn’t be straight
And I keep telling my reflection
Ambitions are already starting to fade

I Can’t tolerate…
(Can’t tolerate)
I Can’t tolerate…
(Can’t tolerate)

And if somebody’s going to make it
then this somebody ought to be you
And if somebody’s going to fake it
then this somebody, somebody is you
If it’s me that was going to take it
then I know that it wouldn’t be straight
And I keep telling my reflection
Ambitions are already starting to fade

Mystery Jets – Dreaming Of Another World | Single Review

Mystery Jets – Dreaming Of Another World | Single Review - Frontman band, Blaine Harrison, meronta-ronta dengan peralatan dapur, tampak seperti ilmuwan gila dengan rambut putih liar, adalah penampilan Mystery Jets ketika pertama kali muncul di lokasi mendukung konser Arctic Monkeys pada tahun 2006 lalu.

Ayahnya, 55 tahun, selalu ada mendukung mereka. Ia berdiri di belakang Mystery Jets dan membiarkan mereka semua tinggal di rumahnya di Eel Pie Island, lokasi pertunjukan pertama Rolling Stones.

Mereka baru saja merampingkan penampilan mereka dan membuang eksentrisitas. Dimana dulu mereka bermain dengan seperangkat instrumen percobaan yang aneh-aneh, mereka kini menghasilkan sebuah lagu pop yang renyah, punya image dan ayah Henry Harrison tidak lagi bermain dengan mereka.

Single terbaru mereka Dreaming Of Another World sangatlah catchy. Dari intro gitar yang manis dilanjutkan dengan permainan synth yang saling mengait dan bahwa semangat perubahan adalah penting adanya, menghasilkan sebuah lagu yang asyik, menarik, dan mengharukan saat menelurusi setiap liriknya.

Mereka terus menunjukkan bakat untuk menulis lagu dengan sempurna, sebaris lirik sederhana seperti “Spend my days in a dreamy haze,” (“Menghabiskan hari-hariku menerawang kabut”) bisa menjelaskan kecintaan yang tulus dan mendalam untuk musik pop mengalir, dan sepertinya mereka juga mengikuti jejak band-band indie-pop seperti The Hoosiers dan The Kooks dengan lirik lagu yang menyindir.

Dreaming Of Another World memanglah sangat keren lagunya, hook tebal berlapis seperti hit catchy the Cure. Single yang dipersembahkan oleh Mystery Jets ini adalah salah satu lagu favorit saya saat ini. Jika ada yang bilang jelek, maka orang itulah adalah bukan saya.

Lyric of the song “Dreaming of Another World” of Mystery Jets:


It’s the cheek of the ice to live or to die
riddle without a clue
I spend my days in a dreamy haze
thinking of what to do

When the sun comes down night
is all around
I shed my skin chain it on your ground
go to a place where the people
make a crowd
Find your pace and do what’s
not allowed

Dreaming of another world (x 3)
Dreaming of another you
Always seem to talk all trought the night
and you
always seem to make it home alright

It’s a story tale when a dream turn still
I need a bowl from the blue
I once loved before does it matter anymore
cause now it might be you

When the sun comes up
burning out the night
we stretch our limbs
and walk into the light
there’s nothing left to say
sleep as the dead
It’s time to live out
The dream inside your head

Dreaming of another world (x 3)
Dreaming of another you
Always seem to talk all trought the night
and you
always seem to make it home alright

Just try
try to spread the sky
Only once, once before you die
do something that will make
your mother cry
The dream, dreaming of another world…

Dreaming of another world (x 3)
Dreaming of another you
Always seem to talk all trought the night
and you
always seem to make it home alright

Colbie Caillat – Maria | Single Review

Colbie Caillat – Maria | Single Review - Sukses datang dengan cepat bagi penyanyi berbakat Colbie Caillat. Dengan wajah khas California yang melekat pada dirinya, adalah terobosan di abad ke-21. Walau Colbie Caillat yang adalah seorang seniman yang belum dikenal pada saat itu, lagunya yang catchy ‘Bubbly’ didengarkan oleh ribuan pengunjung di MySpace. Lagu yang sukses secara online tersebut juga menjadi salah satu track di album Coco yang dirilis pada tahun 2007.

Colbie Caillat juga sukses dengan single “Lucky,” duet Colbie Caillatrekaman dengan Jason Mraz, dan “Something Special” yang direkam khusus untuk Olimpiade musim panas tahun 2008. Kesuksesan Colbie Caillat dilanjutkan dengan album keduanya, Breakthrough. Platinum albums dan Grammy Awards mengikuti penyanyi muda ini. Perjuangan Colbie Caillat dalam hal musik tidak sepenuhnya berjalan mulus meskipun ayahnya, Ken Caillat, adalah seorang teknisi dan produser rekaman yang telah mengerjakan beberapa album termasuk album berjudul Rumours milik Fleetwood Mac.

Semangat muda Colbie Caillat adalah inspirasi dipilihnya “Maria” oleh Levi’s sebagai lagu klasik yang dibawakan olehnya, sebuah track yang dengan kritis dianggap sebagai comeback tune dari influential band, Blondie. Blondie adalah band yang digawangi oleh penyanyi Deborah Harry dan gitaris Chris Stein, band punk New York pada pertengahan 1970-an sebelum menjadi band underground dengan new wave tunes seperti “Heart of Glass,” yang merupakan single No. 1 pada tahun 1979. Lebih dari tujuh single berhasil masuk chart antara tahun 1979 dan 1982 sebelum mereka bubar. Pada tahun 1998, Blondie berkumpul kembali dan merilis sebuah album baru, No Exit, setahun kemudian. Termasuk “Maria” dengan Chorus yang membumbung tinggi dan keren, namun Colbie Caillat tetap berhasil membawakan “Maria” dengan citarasa yang Colbie bangetz.

Colbie Caillat – Maria Lyrics :

She moves like she don’t care
Smooth as silk cool as air
Ooh it makes you wanna cry
She doesn’t know your name
And your heart beats like a subway train
Ooh it makes you wanna die

Ooh Don’t ya wanna take her
Ooh Don’t ya wanna make her all your own

(Chorus):
Maria
You’ve got to see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Regina
Ave Maria
A million and one
Candle lights

I’ve seen this thing before
In my best friend
And the boy next door
Fool for love
Fool on fire
Won’t come in from the rain
Sees oceans running down the drain
Blue as ice and desire

Ooh Don’t you wanna make her
Ooh Don’t you wanna take her home

(Chorus)

Ooh Don’t you wanna make her
Ooh Don’t you wanna take her home

She walks like she don’t care wanna take her everywhere
Ooh Makes you wanna cry
She’s like a millionaire
Walking on imported air
Ooh it makes you wanna die

(Chorus) x 2

Ooh….
Regina
Ave Maria
A million and one
Candle lights..

Grace Potter & The Nocturnals – Tiny Light | Single Review

Grace Potter & The Nocturnals – Tiny Light | Single Review - ‘Up and Coming’, ‘Ones To Watch’, dan ‘Breaking Act’ adalah tiga kalimat pendek yang merupakan deskripsi singkat yang ditujukan kepada Grace Potter & The Nocturnals. Grace yang telah berumur 26 tahun ini hadir bersama rekan-rekan band-nya dengan style potongan rambut ala Jesus Christ yang relatif tidak dikenal (personelnya). Grace dan kawan-kawan baru saja merilis album ke-5 yang mereka gambarkan sebagai ‘pencerahan aliran’, memungkinkan mereka merasa lebih nyaman dengan penampilan luar sedemikian rupa tersebut.

Keyakinan yang baru ditemukan tampak jelas dalam single pertama dari album ini. ‘Tiny Light’ memainkan unsur-unsur Soul dan Blues yang terkenal pada era tahun 60-an dan 70-an tetapi mereka mengolahnya dengan cara yang benar-benar terukur dan terkendali. Karya mereka ini memang cukup rumit untuk mengekspos fluida instrumentasi terstruktur, sementara pada saat yang sama menonjolkan nada vokal ceria dimana Miss Potter berupaya menumbuhkan berbagai macam karakter dalam lagunya kali ini. Seakan memproyeksikan sensasi kebebasan dapat mengubah setiap sudut kehidupan, Tiny Light memang di-set ke arah problematika kehidupan, hanya saja dalam bentuk seni (music).
“What will come of us today?
What we need we cannot say,
it’s been a long, long time since I’ve been so afraid,
and as we all fall down it’s hard
to see a brighter day, but…….I see a tiny light.”
Musik dari Tiny Light mungkin sedikit menyentuh wilayah Country tapi begitulah music, apa yang menang melalui apa yang biasa-biasa saja membuat Tiny Light dipilih untuk dirilis sebagai single. Ada beberapa artikulasi ‘jilatan-jilatan’ gitar menyetrum kuping serta harmoni-harmoni lain menghasilkan irama yang berlapis-lapis seperti teriakan-teriakan Grace yang akan selalu melakat dikuping pendengar, luapan suara sensitif emosional menyuguhkan kesan tersendiri. Instrumen yang diolah dalam Tiny Light mengingatkan kita dengan Brat Pack era Demi Moore diseduh dengan sedikit Elkie Bookbinder membuat single ini tidak akan pernah menjadi hal yang buruk.

Anda mungkin tidak sadar kalau Grace Potter & The Nocturnals telah merasuki telinga Anda baru-baru ini setelah single mereka yang berjudul White Rabbit disertakan dalam album original soundtrack film Alice In Wonderland. Berharap pendengar bisa mendengarkan single ini dengan ‘lebih’ seiring dengan tahun berjalan. Lagu yang Radio friendly dinyanyikan dengan penuh gairah, bertekstur dan vocal yang lebih bernyawa. ‘Tiny Ligiht’, Great Voice!

Grace Potter & The Nocturnals – Tiny Light Lyrics :

What will come of us today
What we need we cannot say
Its been a long long time since I’ve been so afraid
As we all fall down its hard to see a brighter day but

I see a tiny light like a flashbulb sparkle in the night
I see a tiny light telling everyone to hold on tight

What will come of all our pride
This house of stone has crumbled from the inside
Its been a long long war now the battle is drawing near
Closer and closer till it whispers in my ear

I see a tiny light like a flashbulb sparkle in the night
I see a tiny light telling everyone to hold on tight

Bring me back the streets of gold
Give me something warm to hold
Give me love and only love and we will see it shining from above

I see a tiny light like a flashbulb sparkle in the night
I see a tiny light telling everyone to hold on tight
I see a tiny light like a flashbulb sparkle in the night
I see a tiny light telling everyone to hold on tight

I see a tiny light but its not going to shine without a fight

Muse – Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever) | Single Review

Muse – Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever) | Single Review - Ini adalah kali ketiga Muse memberikan konstribusinya sebagai pengisi Soundtrack film yang diadabtasi dari novel karya Stephenie Meyer. Setelah Supermassive Black Hole dan I Belong To You di film pertama dan kedua, maka untuk film ketiga yang berjudul Twilight Saga : Eclipse, Muse mempersembahkan single Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever) sebagai salah satu soundtrack film tersebut yang sekaligus dijadikan sebagai lead single.

Tentu saja dengan hadirnya Muse sebagai pengisi soundtrack sudah barang pastinya menjadi kabar gembira buat para penggemar berat band asal inggris ini. Rupanya, musik band ini sudah menjadi salah satu fitur penting dalam seri film Twilight dan kabarnya Stephenie Meyer juga adalah penggemar berat Muse. Dengan keberhasilan Decode (Paramore) dan Meet Me On The Equinox (Death Cab For Cutie), berharap Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever) juga bisa meraih sukses besar.

Ada yang mengatakan bahwa Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever) sepertinya single yang dibuat terburu-buru, belum selesai tepatnya serta liriknya yang cheesy. Single yang ditulis oleh Matthew Ballamy ini lebih banyak bercerita tentang gejolak-gejolak dalam batin yang sulit untuk saya pahami. Matthew Bellamy meratap tentang bagaimana jika hati berbenturan, bulan yang tak bercahaya dengan sempurna, dan bagaimana jika ia mati, akankah ia akan mati dengan kekasihnya. Single ini jelas-jelas bernuansa lagu cinta dengan lirik yang konyol, tapi tidaklah terlalu cheesy yang mungkin membuat kita sedikit tidak nyaman mendengarkannya. Sebagai penggemar berat Muse, musik akan mengalir begitu saja.

Suara lirih Matthew diiringi alunan piano elegan membuka Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever), dan kemudian meledak secara perlahan-lahan dengan beat-beat yang lebih cepat dimana iringan piano di awal lagu tidak akan kita temukan lagi. Solo gitar yang mengisi break adalah bagian yang paling menarik dari komposisi musik single ini tapi sayang terdengar hanya sekedar lewat saja. Suasana suram menjadi penutup lagu ini yang cenderung sugestif dengan perkabungan.

Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever) Lyrics :

I was searching
You were on a mission
Then our hearts combined like
A neutron star collision

I had nothing left to lose
You took your time to choose
Then we told each other
With no trace of fear that…

Our love would be forever
And if we die
We die together
And lie, I said never
‘Cause our love would be forever

The world is broken
Halos fail to glisten
You try to make a difference
But no one wants to listen

Hail,
The preachers, fake and proud
Their doctrines will be cloud
Then they’ll dissipate
Like snowflakes in an ocean

Love is forever
And we’ll die, we’ll die together
And lie, I say never
‘Cause our love could be forever

Now I’ve got nothing left to lose
You take your time to choose
I can tell you now without a trace of fear

That my love will be forever
and we’ll die
we’ll die together
Lie, I will never ‘Cause our love will be forever

Ne-Yo – Beautiful Monster | Single Review

Ne-Yo – Beautiful Monster | Single Review - Penyanyi R & B sekaligus penulis lagu-lagu catchy dan juga produser, Ne-Yo rencananya akan merilis album studio keempat, Libra Scale, pada bulan September 2010. Single pertamanya adalah Beautiful Monster yang premier pada tanggal 25 Mei lalu di MySpace.

Mari kita bicara soal musik single pertama dari seorang singer-songwriter ini, yang kembali bekerja sama dengan Stargate menyatukan skill mereka menghasilkan single dengan inspirasi dance dalam singel terbarunya Beautiful Monster. Anda mungkin sangat menanti-nantikan single baru nan catchy dari seorang Ne-Yo seperti Closer misalnya yang merupakan lead single dari album Year Of The Gentleman yang dirilis pada tahun 2008 lalu, yang mungkin juga akan anda temukan dalam Beautiful Monster-nya. Setelah mendengar Beautiful Monster, sepertinya tidak ada sesuatu yang baru yang bisa kita temukan dalam single ini, beat-beat ala club tapi terdengar sangat biasa dan malahan monoton menurut saya dan jika kita pernah mendengar Closer maka kita akan berpikir bahwa Ne-Yo mengadobsi formula yang sama dengan Closer.

Sepertinya Ne-Yo telah kehabisan ide. Mungkin karena Ne-Yo terlalu banyak memberikan ide-ide kreatif-nya kepada artis-artis lain yang bekerja sama dengan Ne-Yo selama masa hiatusnya – sebut saja seperti Toni Braxton (Libra album); Beyoncé (Beautiful Liar and Beautiful Nightmare); dan ratu monster Lady GaGa. Akibatnya. Ne-Yo seolah-olah mensubtitusi apa yang telah ia kerjakan sebelumnya (Closer) ke dalam Beautiful Monster, tanpa mencoba sesuatu yang baru atau tidak tertarik merambah jenis musik dance yang lain. Judulnya memang menggegerkan, tapi tidak se-menggegerkan saat mendengar lagunya!

Ne-Yo - Beautiful Monster Lyrics:

In all my life, and the hereafter, I’ve never seen someone like you
You’re a knife, sharp and deadly, and its me, that you cut into

But I don’t mind, in fact I like it, though I’m terrified, I’m turned on but scared of you

(Chorus)
She’s a monster, beautiful monster, beautiful monster, but I don’t mind
And I need her, said I need her, beautiful monster, but I don’t mind

Ohhhh
Said I don’t mind I don’t I don’t mind
No I don’t mind
I don’t mind I don’t I don’t mind
No I don’t mind
I don’t mind I don’t I don’t mind
Ohhh No I don’t mind

In her eyes is love and fire, and my heart, she’s burnin’ through
But I don’t mind, in fact I like it, tho I’m terrified, I’m turned on but scared of you

(Chorus)
She’s a monster, beautiful monster, beautiful monster, but I don’t mind
And I need her, and I need her, said I need her, said I need her, beautiful monster, but I don’t mind
I don’t mind I don’t I don’t mind
No I don’t mind

Playin with my heart and she’s playin with my mind.

And I don’t mind I don’t I don’t mind, no I don’t I don’t mind, no I don’t mind, I don’t I don’t mind

I don’t mind I don’t I don’t mind
No I don’t mind I don’t I don’t mind
I don’t mind I don’t I don’t mind
I don’t mind I don’t I don’t mind
Ohhh No I don’t mind

(Chorus)
She’s a monster, beautiful monster, beautiful monster, but i don’t mind
And I need her, said I need her, beautiful monster, but I don’t mind

ohhh ohhhh
Said I don’t mind I don’t I don’t mind
No I don’t mind
i don’t mind I don’t I don’t mind
No I don’t mind
I don’t mind I don’t I don’t mind
Ohhh No I don’t mind

Alpha Rev – New Morning | Single Review

Casey McPherson (lead vocals, guitar, piano), Alex Dunlap (bass, vocals), Tommy Roalson (drums), Brian Batch (violin, vocals), Dave Wiley (cello), Derek Morris (keyboard), Derek Dunivan (guitar, vocals) adalah para personel band Alternative rock Alpha Rev dari Austin, Texas, United States. Lead singer multi talenta Casey McPherson membentuk Alpha Rev pada tahun 2005 setelah sebuah band yang digawanginya (Endochine) bubar.

Pada tahun 2006 Alpha Rev merilis self-titled EP yang dilanjutkan dengan merilis album studio The Greatest Thing I Ever Learned yang awalnya dirilis secara independen oleh Flyer Records pada tahun 2007 dan dirilis kembali pada tahun 2008 dengan daftar lagu yang berbeda oleh Sea Change Records. Pada tanggal 27 April 2010, Alpha Rev merilis album keduanya di bawah major label Hollywood Records berjudul New Morning yang diproduseri oleh David Kahne (Paul McCartney, Sublime, the Strokes). Single pertamanya adalah juga berjudul ‘New Morning‘ yang merupakan salah satu soundtrack film The Last Song yang dibintangi oleh si cantik Miley Cyrus, Liam Hemsworth, dan Greg Kinnear.

Sangat menakjubkan mendengar single New Morning ini berpikir Alpha Rev datang dengan watak yang lebih halus (karena belum dengar track-track yang lain dari album New Morning) dan band yang berangkat dari Texas menuju major label dengan serangkaian pengalaman kisah di masa lalu. New Morning, ketika kali pertama masuk ke dalam playlist saya, ada sesuatu yang berbeda – saya sulit untuk berhenti mendengarkannya begitu saja. Jujur saja single ini memang tidak menyajikan nuansa ceria seperti lagu-lagu yang saat ini lagi maraknya berdengung di mana-mana, tetapi ada banyak momen-momen bahagia yang bisa kita dapatkan ketika menyusuri komposisi musik dari Alpha Rev.

Musik yang sederhana dan menarik, penuh dengan iringan instrumental-instumental begitu anggun, memikat, menenangkan dan jauh dari ke-rough-an. Setelah kita mendengar single soft alternative rock ini, saat itulah kita akan berpikir, dengan elemen yang sederhana menghasilkan sound-sound yang memorable, futuristic, dan menyentuh sensitifitas batin. Sinkronisasi antara music dan lyricnya ibarat mata rantai yang saling mengikat – sound-sound melodius dramatis dengan lirik yang mengajak kita mencari tahu siapa/apa Monalisa itu (Have you heard ‘the’ Mona Lisa) – ada apa dengan Mona Lisa, hingga akhirnya kita menyadarinya (Have you heard ‘My’ Mona Lisa).

New Morning dibuka dengan alunan gitar akustik + piano + vocal Casey McPherson yang nyantai + sesekali diisi oleh gesekan cello + violin yang lembut kemudian dilanjutkan dengan masuknya gebukan drum + vocal Casey McPherson dengan tekstur yang lebih halus (yang mengingatkan kita dengan vocal lead singer dari Coldplay) dan break yang diisi oleh gesekan strong violin bersama instrumen lainnya, membuat single New Morning ini terdengar begitu lengkap lalu ditutup dengan nuansa yang sama dengan di awal lagu.

Alpha Rev – New Morning Lyrics:

I dont give a dam about the castle on the hill
all the gold that we could eat, or the horse you had for sale
No I'm getting kinda rich on the side of any soul alive
I dont give a dam if I'm running from the law
when my moneys not enough and they come and take it all
No I'm getting kinda rich on the side of any soul alive
Have you heard the Mona Lisa
Have yo heard who you are
Your a new morning
Your a new moning
Wanna be ok when I'm sitting here alone not just thinking of the ways that I could have done it wrong
No I'm getting kinda rich on the side of any soul alive
Have you heard the Mona Lisa
Have you heard who you are
Your a new moring
Your a new morning
Your a new morning
Now, your a new morning now
Have you heard my Mona Lisa
Have you heard who you are
Your a new morning
Your a new morning
Your a new morning
Now, your a new morning now

Koleksi Lagu-Lagu Keren Bryan Rice

Koleksi Lagu-Lagu Keren Bryan Rice | IMROEE -  Beberapa hari terakhir ini saya sering sekali mendengar lagu-lagu yang dibawakan oleh seorang singer/songwriter dari Denmark bernama Bryan Rice. Kalau tidak salah tiga hari yang lalu saya membuka Facebook dan di halaman Home, saya langsung dihadapkan dengan sebuah status yang menyatakan bahwa Ia akan tampil di salah satu acara di negaranya dengan membawakan single yang berjudul Second Last Chance, yang tidak lain adalah sebuah single milik Bryan Rice. Setelah saya membaca semua komen-komen status tersebut, ternyata banyak yang menyukai single tersebut, tidak hanya para fan Bryan yang ada di Denmark tetapi juga di US sana ada yang berkomentar bahwa ia ingin membeli album Bryan dalam bentuk CD tapi sayang di sana hanya tersedia dalam bentuk digital download via iTune.

Saya juga tidak mau ketinggalan, penasaran seperti apa single Second Last Chance itu. Segera, saya membubuhkan komen di statusnya, bertanya di mana saya bisa mendengarkan single tersebut. Ternyata dia merespon komen saya dengan mengatakan; kamu bisa bisa melihat dan mendengar video Second Last Chance di hhtp://www.bryanrice.com. Langsung saja saya mengklik url yang telah yang diberikan itu, dan ternyata singlenya memang asyik. Tidak bisa menunggu lama, saya langsung mencari link download mp3 single Second Last Chance dan saya berhasil mengunduhnya hanya dalam beberapa menit saja. Sampai saat tulisan ini saya posting, saya masih sering mendengarkannya dan bahkan lirik lagunya sudah saya hafal.

Sebenarnya Second Last Chance bukan lagu Bryan Rice pertama yang saya pernah dengar karena sebelumnya saya juga ketagihan dengan single yang berjudul Breathing. Breathing merupakan single yang ikut berkompetisi dalam Dansk Melodi Grand Prix untuk memwakili negaranya bersaing dalam sebuah kontes bergengsi se-eropa yaitu Eurovison Song Contest 2010 yang diselenggarakan di Oslo, Norwegia. Tapi sayang sekali, Bryan Brice yang merupakan kontestan undangan tidak berhasil mewakili negaranya di ajang tersebut; Ia dikalahkan oleh Chanee N’ Nevergreen dengan lagunya berjudul In A Moment Like This, sedangkan Bryan Rice berada di posisi kedua.

Second Last Chance ternyata bukanlah single terbaru dari Bryan Rice, Breathing-lah yang lebih baru. Second Last Chance adalah single yang dirilis pada tanggal 30 April 2009 lalu via iTune. Single Second Last Chance memang terdengar sedikit berbeda dengan Breathing; beat-beat musiknya lebih cepat dan tentunya sangat catchy. Selain itu ada juga tune-tune yang mengisi sepanjang lagu yang entah berasal dari intrumen apa; saya juga tidak tahu tapi yang pasti sangat asyik sekaligus sebagai ciri khas lagu tersebut. Breathing lebih ke arah pop ballad yang begitu asyik yang di awal lagu ada efek desahan nafas Bryan Rice seperti suara orang yang sedang terserang sesak nafas. Breathing memang bisa membuat saya ketagihan mendengarkannya demikian juga hal yang sama juga terjadi pada Second Last Chance. Kelemahan untuk single Breathing adalah lirik lagunya sangat pendek sehingga terkesan hanya mengulang kata-kata yang sama sepanjang lagu, namun dengan lirik yang demikian pendek itu penuh makna yang tersirat di dalamnya dan pastinya sangat mudah untuk dihafal.

Berikutnya, ternyata Bryan Rice telah merilis dua album studio yaitu Confessional (2006) dan Good News (2007). Saya sangat ingin mendengar kedua album tersebut setelah mendengar Breathing dan Second Last Chance, berharap di dalamnya saya bisa menemukan track-track cachy membius kuping indah bergeming merekam setiap momen-momen yang memang patut untuk di kenang.

Dari Album Confessional, ada lima track yang saya sukai yaitu Can’t Say I’m Sorry, Confessional, Homeless Heart, Where Do You Go dan No Promises. Can’t Say I’m Sorry, lebih becita rasa pop yang nge-band yang dibuka dengan distorsi gitar smooth yang akan mengingatkan kita dengan lagu-lagu Bonjovi, tetapi ada juga dentingan piano yang mebuat track ini cukup asyik untuk didengar, sekali dengar memang belum bisa membuat track ini ‘lengket’ di kuping saya tapi setelah didengar lagi, begitu saja langsung akrab dikuping. Sedangkan Confessional dibuka dengan suara yang dianeh-anehin, sedikit bikin annoying menimbulkan kesan suram, mungkin untuk menyesuaikan dengan judul lagunya, beat-beat track ini hampir sama dengan dengan Can’t Say I’m Sorry. Lumayan! Nuansa ballad akan kita temukan dalam Homeless Heart di mana suara gitar lebih dominan sedangkan piano beraksi setelah instrument udah pada padam mengiringi vocal Bryan Rice dan Where Do You Do yang lebih sendu dari Homeless Heart, dentingan piano diawal track ini tidak akan pernah saya lupakan ditambah vocal Bryan yang smooth sesekali difalsetkan membuat saya tenggelam di dalamnya, Asyik sekali. Dan favorite saya adalah No Promises, bisa dibilang inilah track terbaik dari album ini. Dan sekali lagi piano membuka single ini, vocal Bryan yang begitu kerennya membuat saya begitu ketagihan mendengarkannya. Single ballad yang sangat layak untuk dikoleksi dan tidak salah kalau Shayne Ward mengcover single yang satu ini.

Simply Complicated, Good News dan Here I Am adalah track-track favorite saya dari album yang berudul Good News. Untuk Simply Complicated, tidak ada hook-hook yang mudah diingat, permainan piano, gitar dan drum terkesan biasa-biasa saja tapi merupakan salah satu track terbaik dari album ini sedangkan untuk Good News beat-beatnya hampir sama dengan Simply Complicated hanya saja Good News terdengar lebih dinamis dan tentunya sangat enak buat didengar dan saya sangat menyukainya. Matt Dusk dari Canada juga pernah menyanyikan lagu ini dengan citarasa Jazz. Here I Am track paling memikat bagi saya di album ini setelah Good News. Seperti track-track sebelumnya Here I Am juga dibuka oleh dentingan piano yang kemudian dilanjutkan dengan gebukan drum yang lebih nyantai mengilustrasikan Here I Am lebih bernuansa ballad. Sangat enak sekali mendengarkan Bryan Rice mengumandangkan “Here I Am” dalam track Here I Am ini dengan suara yang di-falset-kan.

The Ready Set – Love Like Woe | Single Review

The Ready Set – Love Like Woe -- Jordan Witzigreuter adalah singer-songwriter dari Fort Wayne, Indiana, yang merupakan orang di balik The Ready Set, musisi amerika yang mengusung bermacam-macam genre seperti alternative, electronica, dan pop. Meskipun Jordan adalah satu-satunya official member The Ready Set tetapi saat pertunjukkan live, Jordan dibantu oleh tiga orang temannya yaitu Andy Snyder (Bass), Travis Rountree (Drums), dan Keegan Weckler (Guitar).

Pada tanggal 15 Juni 2010 nanti The Ready Set akan meliris studio album yang diberi judul I’m Alive, I’m Dreaming di bawah label Decaydance/Sire Records, sub-labels dari Warner Bros. Records. Single pertamanya adalah Love Like Woe yang diproduseri oleh JR Rotem (Iyaz, Jason Derulo, Sean Kingston, Rihanna, Leona Lewis, Britney Spears).

Single Love Like Woe adalah single up-beat yang jika pertama kali dengar langsung klop di kuping pendengar, sangat catchy dengan sentuhan funky tune. Single ini dibuka dengan intro yang jika diperhatikan punya kesamaan dengan intro fireflies-nya Owl City tapi untuk Love Like Woe durasi intronya relatif sangat singkat dibandingkan dengan fireflies.

Dari awal sampai akhir lagu, Jordan benar-benar mengajak kita menikmati single ini dimana Jordan menyanyi tanpa ada permainan music antara setiap bait lirik lagunya dengan sekekali dibantu oleh backing vocal yang membuat single ini terdengar ramai dan mengasyikkan serta diiringi oleh beat-beat yang mengingat saya dengan beat-beat hip-hop ala ‘Si Kecil’ Justin Bieber. Secara signifikan Love Like Woe memasukkan unsur-unsur auto-tune yang membuat kita tidak asing dengan single yang satu ini jika kamu suka mendengar lagu-lagu dari Owl City, Black Eyed Peas, Metro Station, Kanye West atau bahkan Justin Bieber.

Seperti apapun single Love Like Woe dari The Ready Set ini, sebagai pendengar sangat sayang untuk dilewatkan tentunya. So, enjoy! (aja).

The Ready Set – Love Like Woe Lyrics :

(J-J-J-J-JR)
Woah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Woah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
(I kinda feel like it don't make sense)

I'm thinking, baby, you and I are undeniable
But I'm finding now loves unreliable
I'm giving all I got to make you stay
Or am I just a roadblock in your way?

Cause you're a pretty little windstorm on the boulevard
Something like a Sunset, oh you're a shooting star
And I might drive myself insane
If those lips aren't speaking my name

Cause I got some intuition,
Or maybe I'm superstitious
But I think you're a pretty sweet pill that I'm swallowing down
To counter this addiction, you've got me on a mission
Tell me darling, can I get a break somehow?
(How) could I say no?

She's got a love like woe
Woah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh,
Girls got a love like woe (la-da-da)
I kinda feel like it don't make sense
Because you're bringing me in and now you're kicking me out again
Loved so strong, then you moved on
Now I'm hung up in suspense,
Because you're bringing me in and then you're kicking me out again

It's like a hurricane, speed train, she's a moving car
Catch her in the fast lane, oh I gotta know,
Can I keep up with her pace?
Kick it into gear when I see that face

You can take up all my time cause you're the only one
That can make a storm cloud break, pulling out the sun
And I can't get caught in the rain
Can I get your lips to speak my name?

Cause I got some intuition,
Or maybe I'm superstitious
But I think you're a pretty sweet pill that I'm swallowing down
To counter this addiction, you've got me on a mission
Tell me darling, can I get a break somehow?
(How) could I say no?

She's got a love like woe
Woah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh,
Girls got a love like woe (la-da-da)
I kinda feel like it don't make sense
Because you're bringing me in and now you're kicking me out again
Loved so strong, then you moved on
Now I'm hung up in suspense,
Because you're bringing me in and then you're kicking me out again

Cause we only have one life
The timing and the moment,
All seem so right
So would you say you're mine? (We'll be just fine)
Would you say you're mine? (We'll be just fine)

She's got a love like woe
Woah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh,
Girls got a love like woe (la-da-da)
I kinda feel like it don't make sense
Because you're bringing me in and now you're kicking me out again
Loved so strong, then you moved on
Now I'm hung up in suspense,
Because you're bringing me in and then you're kicking me out again

She's got a love like woe
Woah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh,
Girls got a love like woe (la-da-da)
I kinda feel like it don't make sense
Because you're bringing me in and now you're kicking me out again
Loved so strong, then you moved on
Now I'm hung up in suspense,
Because you're bringing me in and then you're kicking me out again

The moment bystanders battled plane crash inferno in desperate attempt to rescue family trapped inside

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOCn8mUp4qoendofvid
[starttext]
By Mail Foreign Service

Rescue attempt: Bystanders try to lift the burning wreckage of a Cessna 206 plane as they search for survivors shortly after it crashed in a busy business district near downtown Anchorage on Tuesday


This is the moment that horrified Good Samaritans risked their lives in a desperate attempt to rescue a family trapped on board a burning plane.

The small Cessna 206 crashed in a busy business district near downtown Anchorage, Alaska, during rush hour on Tuesday evening.

A four-year-old boy was killed - but miraculously, four others were pulled from the plane alive.


Heroes: Police said the lives of four people on board - including a two-year-old child - were saved by the Good Samaritans


Brave bystanders raced to help those onboard after the plane clipped the roof of a motel and crashed in front of an unoccupied former car lot office.

'It was the citizens who did the work and pulled people out,' police Lt. Dave Parker said.

A witness, Hunter Brosh, said a girl was among those pulled out alive. Brosh was one of the motorists who jumped out of their cars to help get people out of the burning plane.

Anchorage police said in a statement late Tuesday that 16-year-old Rachel Zientak of Texas was one of the injured passengers and was to be transferred to a Seattle hospital.


Miraculously, no one else was hurt as the plane blazed in busy downtown Anchorate


Also onboard were the pilot of the aircraft, 34-year-old Preston Cavner; his wife, 32-year-old Stacie Cavner; and their son, two-year-old Hudson, police said. The three will be flown to a hospital in Portland, Oregon.

Authorities identified the four-year-old boy who died as another son of the couple, Miles Cavner.

The single-engine plane was registered to Cavner and Julian Inc., a guide and outfitting business based in Port Alsworth, Alaska.

Police said the Cavners operate a lodge at Port Alsworth, Alaska, and Zientak was one of their employees.

Jennifer Rodi, a National Transportation Safety Board investigator, said it was too early to say what caused the crash.

The aircraft went down after departing Merrill Field about a mile (less than two kilometers) away.

Rodi said the four survivors were critically injured. However, Brosh said the girl onboard was able to unbuckle herself before she was helped out of the wreckage

Iron Man spoof featuring baby girl becomes YouTube sensation

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyoA4LXQco4endofvid
[starttext]
By Anny Shaw

In the real world: The film, which has become an internet sensation, starts with baby Margaret as an ordinary Tony Stark


A video of a baby girl dressed as Iron Man has become an internet sensation after the child's filmmaker father posted the clip on YouTube.

Iron Baby, which features Margaret transforming from toddler to iron-clad superhero, has attracted 2.6 million hits so far.

The parody short film was directed by Margaret's father Patrick Boivin, who is a self-taught filmmaker and former comic book creator from Montreal.


Superhero: The baby begins to transform into Iron Man


3-D artist Jocelyn Strob Simard did the special effects for the film, including making the Iron Man costume, according to the Toronto Star.

The film's success has apparently been felt beyond the internet, with Mr Boivin saying he has had offers from Hollywood film producers.

The clip starts with Margaret as a bib-wearing Tony Stark, who is transformed by her mini-armoured costume into Iron Man.


Finishing touches: Margaret holds still as her transformation into iron-clad superhero is completed


Jetting off: Iron Baby takes to the skies in pursuit of comic book villains


The tiny superhero flies off to fight gun-toting toy bunnies, who she destroys with laser beams fired from the palm of her hand.

Costing virtually nothing, the short film took two months to make.

Despite its obviously jovial tone, Mr Boivin and Mr Simard produced the video as a way of promoting themselves.


Touch down: The pint-sized superhero lands to fight toy bunnies wielding guns


The enemy: In the short film Iron Baby comes across gun-toting toy bunnies


Action hero: The miniature superhero destroys the bunnies with laser beams fired from the palm of her hand


'It’s a way of showing what we can do together to companies who are interested in working with us,' Mr Boivin told the Toronto Star. 'It has been a success for me.'

It seems Margaret also enjoyed her starring role, with Mr Boivin hinting he may well produce more films with his baby daughter.

'I’m pretty sure I’m going to do some more clips with my girl', Mr Boivin said.


Starring role: Margaret seemed to enjoy her part in the film and father Patrick Boivin has not ruled out making more mini movies with his daughter [endtext]

iPad magic: Japanese magician uses Apple's new gadget in incredible routine on Tokyo street

By Daily Mail Reporter

Is there an app for that? Shinya the magician integrates the iPad into his street magic routine


It takes the meaning of technical wizardry to an entirely new level.

And while Apple might like to boast that its new iPad is magic, it has taken a Japanese street magician to really show what it can do.

‘Shinya’ has posted a video on YouTube which shows him using a combination of a pre-programmed iPad and a series of cleverly timed props.

With admirable sleight of hand, Shinya manages to produce smoke, a dove and a whole host of optical illusions while unconcerned pedestrians on a Tokyo street wander past in the background.

Billing it as 'a history of communication' he even manages to weave in some good old-fashioned fork-bending

His impromptu show has had more than half a million views on YouTube and has been posted on numerous gadget and technology websites.

But sceptics - and those familiar with viral marketing campaigns - will note that the video ends with a long lingering shot of the Apple shop behind Shinya when he has finished his show.[endtext]

Taylor Swift turns on the waterworks: Country superstar brings her act to a dramatic climax with an on-stage downpour

Soaked: Taylor Swift sings in the rain during her Fearless Tour Concert at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Canada


Taylor Swift has quickly become one of the country music scene's biggest stars and she has a extravagant stage show to match, as she proved when she performed in Toronto last night.
Not content with an array of different outfits, the 20-year-old incorporated a Singing In The Rain inspired routine into the show at the Air Canada Centre, which was part of her Fearless Tour.
Taylor performed her final song as a cascade of water poured from above, drenching her while she sang the final encore - Should've Said No.


*** SCROLL DOWN TO SEE FOOTAGE OF THE PERFORMANCE...


Encore: The singing superstar performed Should've Said No as water cascaded from above her

During the course of the show, she made a total of SIX costumes changes.

Initially dressed as a majorette, Swift emerged from beneath her bright, colourful set - featuring a T-shaped catwalk at the front - with her dancers dressed as cheerleaders, and her band in school band regalia.

But she soon exchanged the dorky look for a sexier vamped out style in black leather boots


Changes: Taylor went through six costume changes during her sell out performance


Swift ripped off the bandleader coat to reveal a sparkly silver mini-dress underneath.

She told her excited audience: 'I think it's entirely possible that I've fallen in love with you after two songs. And I think that it's that kind of deep, pure love, that lasts forever. I love you like I love burning my ex-boyfriend's pictures.'

The singer has been on the road almost relentlessly since last year in support of her multi-platinum, Grammy-winning second album, 2008's Fearless.


Lady in red: The singer performs in one of her many outfits


Sparkling: As well as her country maiden outfit, the star also performed with a bling guitar during the concert


After a costume change into a red sequined mini-dress, then launched into Forever And Always, a song written about Jonas as a last-minute add-on to Fearless.

Later in the show Swift appeared in the audience stands to sing, Hey Stephen, in a new blue dress and brown cowboy boots and, according to reports, the crowd was besides themselves as she shook hands with and hugged as many of them as possible en route back to the stage.

She also wore an old country maid style dress during the Fearless mega-hit Love Story, and used two different guitars, one of which was covered in glittering gems.

The singer performed a variety of her songs at the sell out concert, with a set list consisting of 18 tracks in total.

This included Love Story, White Horse, You Belong With Me and, of course, the title track from the album Fearless.

According to reports Taylor helped Demi Lovato, after the Disney Channel star was recently dumped by her boyfriend Joe Jonas.

The country star apparently felt she had some experience, once being the victim of Joe Jonas break-up herself.

'Taylor sent Demi a quick text message, saying that everything happens for a reason, and it will only make her stronger,' a close friend of Swift's is alleged to have said to Angry Ape.

'She told Demi if she ever needed anything, to just ask.'

The Camp Rock co-stars dated for around two months before Jonas called split with Lovato over the phone.

This could be considered to be a step up from the text message he used to break up with ex-girlfriend Swift two years earlier.

Britain's Got Talent: Chandi the dancing dog and teen boy band Connected progress to final

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhOywMSW6h8endofvid
[starttext]
By Emily Sheridan

Woman's best friend: Tina Humphreys and her dog Chandi entertained the audience with their dance duet


Tina and Chandi and teen boy band Connected were unveiled as the next two stars progressing to the final of Britain's Got Talent after last night's second live semi-final.

The dancing dog and his owner went straight through after receiving the biggest amount of public votes, leaving the judges Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden to chose between singing doorman Neil Fullard and Connected for the second place in the final.

All the judges enjoyed both acts' performance and were faced with a difficult decision. Morgan chose to save Connected, while Holden plumped for Fullard.

Cowell was obviously torn between the two acts, but opted to save Connected and offered a genuine apology to Fullard that he couldn't save him because he wanted to see both acts in the final.

Earlier in the show, Tina Humphrey and her 12-year-old dog had wowed the audience with their dance.

It was the first time dog lover Cowell had seen the pair, after he was ill during their original audition.


The new Take That? Teenage boy band Connected were praised for their more independent performance which hadn't been styled by their mothers


Morgan said: 'Great footwork, amazing balance. Chandi is the canine version of Wayne Rooney. After that, Chandi has a very big chance of winning the competition.'

Cowell was smitten: 'I love her. She's adorable. It shows you how important it is to love a dog and the dog will love you back.'

After being told by Cowell that their previous audition was too dated and they needed to step away from their mothers' guidance, Connected put on a much more current performance.

The five-piece, who range in age from 13 to 15, sang No Boundaries, the single released by last year's American Idol winner Kris Allen


That's Life... indeed: Singing doorman Neil Fullard missed out on the final, despite being told he was good enough to be in it


Morgan said: 'I thought you could have been dark horses tonight, you reminded me of a very young Take That, Boyzone, Westlife.

'Tonight it wasn’t perfect but when you came together there were moments when I thought it was knockout.'

Cowell agreed: 'I think that everything I said in your audition was right. It did feel like a bunch of guys put together by their mums.

'Tonight what I was worried about was that you would come out in suits singing a Boyzone song. This is chalk and cheese compared to what I saw before. I think you’ve got a real shot now.'


Too sweet: Dance troupe Taboo performed a sweet-themed dance to a medley


Among the acts that lost out tonight was Taboo, a 32-strong streetdance troupe from Gravesend, Kent.

Dressed as candy-stripers, the group kicked off the second semi-final to a mash-up of sweet-related songs against a busy background of sweets.

Holden said: 'It was really animated, really colourful. I thought you did really well.'

The second dance group performing was the Ruby Girls from London, who were branded 'very cabaret' and 'not cool' by Cowell.

Their sexy dance in black lacy leotards and high heeled boots impressed Morgan, who admitted their outfits distracted him from the dancing.

Holden enthused: 'I think I’ve always said that there is room for a Hot Gossip type girl group. You are so sexy and sassy but in a way that isn’t threatening to other women.'

However, Cowell disagreed: 'I think you got all this wrong tonight. I didn’t like the outfits. Girls are going to hate you. It was very cabaret, wasn’t cool and I was really disappointed.'


Jackson tribute: Michael Fayombo Jnr (left) outshone his father Michael Snr in their Michael Jackson impersonation act


Another dance act missing out on the final was father-and-son Michael Jackson impersonators Michael Snr, 38, and Michael Jnr Fayombo, 14

Both Morgan and Holden admitted they thought the dance - to a medley of Jackson classics - was let down by Michael Snr, who was outshone by his talented son.

Holden said: 'Michael Sr I was honestly worried that you weren’t getting off your knees. You were tired then. Your son stole the show.'

The second impersonation act of the night was Lady Gaga drag act Maxxie Oliver


Lost for words: Lady Gaga impersonator Maxxie Oliver left Cowell speechless


Making an entrance: Oliver was lowered to the stage on a giant telephone


He made a magnificent entrance on a giant yellow telephone, but his singing voice and piano skills couldn't come close to the talented Lady Gaga.

Cowell was left speechless and didn't give a proper critique of the performance, saying: 'I don't know what to say any more.'

Also missing out on the final was piano-playing comic Kev Orkian, who pretends to be Armenian in his act, despite coming from north London.


Buzzed off: Piano-playing comedian Kev Orkian reiceved negative feedback from all three judges


Both Cowell and Morgan buzzed him, while Holden admitted she was 'disapointed' by his act.

Cowell was particulary harsh: 'One trick pony act. The act was so corny and painful to watch and listen to. In the real world nobody would listen to that.'

Tina and Chandi and Connected now join gymnastics troupe Spelbound and streetdancer Tobias Mead in the final later this month.


Baby on board: Alicia Keys performed during the results show in a tight David Koma dress, which showed off her tiny baby bump


Also on Tuesday's show was pregnant singer Alicia Keys, whose small baby bump was clearly visible through her figure-hugging black David Koma dress.

Meanwhile, Holden opted for another striking Ralph & Russo dress, this time a shimmerying bronze creation, for her grand entrance at the start of the show.

• The third live semi-final of Britain's Got Talent will be screened on ITV1 at 7.30pm on Wednesday 3 June.
