WHILE THE EARTH SLEEPS BY DEEP FOREST 



DEEP FOREST IS A MUSICAL GROUP WITH 2 FRENCH MUSICIANS(MICHAEL SANCHEZ WAS BORN IN JULY 3,1957 IN SOMAIN, FRANCE AND ERIC MOUQUET BORN IN 1960 IN VALENCIENNES, FRANCE AND IS THE CO-FUNDER OF THE BAND). THEY COMPOSE A STYLE OF WORLD MUSIC. THEY WERE AT THE 36TH ANNUAL GRAMMY AWARDS IN 1994 AT NEW YORK, NEW YORK HOSTED BY GARRY SHANDLING AND AT THE 37TH ANNUAL GRAMMY AWARDS IN 1995 AT LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA. THEY WERE NOMINATED IN 1994 AND WON IN 1995 FOR BEST WORLD MUSIC.    

The Axis of Awesome

My Response to this song is all about a comedy band called Axis of Awesome and their only playing  4 chords from a bunch of songs they're playing such as Don't stop believe it by Journey, Your Beautiful by James Blunt and Poker Face by Lady Gaga. They performed that song in Australia. I cannot believe how they can remember all the songs at the show.

Form Music

The 2 forms that we discussed in class are "Ain't no sunshine" and "Somebody I used to know"

Ain't no sunshine represents that the heartbreaking song about a girl going away and Somebody that I used to know tells a flashback about how they met, it's more like love song

Good Life

Lyrics to Good Life :

Woke up in London yesterday
Found myself in the city near Piccadilly
Don't really know how I got here
I got some pictures on my phone

New names and numbers that I don't know
Address to places like Abbey Road
Day turns to night, night turns to whatever we want
We're young enough to say

[Chorus]

Oh this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

[Verse 2]

To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Col-or-ado

Sometimes there's airplanes I can' t jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
We are god of stories but please tell me-e-e-e
What there is to complain about

[Bridge 1]

When you're happy like a fool
Let it take you over
When everything is out
You gotta take it in

[Chorus]

Oh this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
A good good life Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

[Bridge 2]

Hopelessly
I feel like there might be something that I'll miss
Hopelessly
I feel like the window closes oh so quick
Hopelessly
I'm taking a mental picture of you now
'Cuz hopelessly
The hope is we have so much to feel good about

[Chorus]

Oh this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Col-or-ado

Sometimes there's airplanes I can' t jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
We are god of stories but please tell me-e-e-e
What there is to complain about

My Critical response to Good Life is that the band "One Republic" is travelling around the globe, meeting and forgeting people and having a good life travelling. The Song is avaliable on their album Waking UP. I belive that the music represents Harmony, Lyrics, Instrumentation, Tempo, Meter and Rhythm.

Somebody I used to know by elliot smith

ELLIOTT SMITH LYRICS
"Somebody That I Used To Know"

I had tender feelings that you made hard
But it's your heart, not mine, that's scarred
So when I go home I'll be happy to go
You're just somebody that I used to know
You don't need my help anymore
It's all now to you, there ain't no before
Now that you're big enough to run your own show
You're just somebody that I used to know
I watched you deal in a dying day
And throw a living past away
So you can be sure that you're in control
You're just somebody that I used to know
I know you don't think you did me wrong
And I can't stay this mad for long
Keeping ahold of what you just let go
You're just somebody that I used to know

I think that the music has a tempo, it has a form, a melody. It also has rhythm to this music, a timbre, instrumentation and lyrics

Ain't no sunshine

SHAUN SMITH AIN'T NO SUNSHINE LYRICS

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.
It's not warm when she's away.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long anytime she goes away.

Wonder this time where she's gone,
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away.

And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

Hey, I ought to leave the young thing alone,
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone, only darkness everyday.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away.

Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
I heard this music last week when Ms. Huskins played it on the cd player during our group assaignments and told us which elements represents this song. I think this song represents Harmony, Melody and Tempo. It tells that Bill Withers was inspired to write this song when he was watching a 1962 movie called "Days of Wine and Roses"
