Introduction # Hello there, and welcome to the song lyrics guide for Fantasia: Music Evolved. As you may know, this game is an interactive successor to Walt Disney's 1940 animated film "Fantasia" and its 1999 sequel "Fantasia 2000", both upon which the game is based. What I'm about to show you are the song lyrics in this guide, which are based off of the real, original versions of the actual songs, not the F:ME mixes. You will also see some factoids and tidbits about each song, though you should be warned that this game is rated E10+ for lyrics (i.e., "Mild references to profanity, sexuality, violence, alcohol or drug use in music") that may be suggestive or inappropriate for children under 10 years old in some of the songs that I will point out to you. In any case, I hope you have fun reading this guide, as without further ado, I present to you... the song lyrics! # 2. Song Lyrics/Info # This is the real large part of the guide. The songs on the F:ME setlist are organized in alphabetical order. Press CTRL+F and search the name of the song to zip right to it! (You may have to hit enter a few times.) Anyway, here's a chart for each song: +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | SONG | Name of the song | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | ARTIST | Name of the artist who sang it | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | ALBUM | Name of the album the song appeared on | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | YEAR OF RELEASE | Year the song was released, both in | | | album form and as a single | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | MIXES | Name of either three or four song | | | mixes, some of which can be unlocked | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | DIFFICULTY | How challenging the song is; the | | | higher the number, the higher the | | | challenge | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | TRIVIA | Info about the song | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ * A. SONG LIST * +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +i. "Applause" by Lady Gaga + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | SONG | Applause | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | ARTIST | Lady Gaga | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | ALBUM | Artpop | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | YEAR OF RELEASE | 2013 | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | MIXES | Pink: HXV | | | Green: Veldt | | | DLC: Arena | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | DIFFICULTY | **** (out of 5) | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | TRIVIA | This song was written by Lady Gaga | | | while she was touring for her Born | | | This Way Ball, and almost left out of | | | the album. Lyrically, the song deals | | | with how she is dependent on her fans' | | | adoration, while her vocals have been | | | compared by music critics to those of | | | Annie Lennox and David Bowie. P.S. | | | BTW, when the guys at Disney | | | Interactive Studios wanted to put the | | | album cover the song is in, there was | | | a problem: the cover image, created by | | | Jeff Koons, features a nude sculpture | | | of Gaga with a blue gazing ball in | | | front of her, with the background | | | consisting of art works including "The | | | Birth of Venus" by Sandro Botticelli, | | | which inspired Gaga's image through | | | creation of Artpop. Since the guys | | | didn't want to raise the ESRB rating | | | to a "T" by placing the "naked" album | | | cover next to the song, they instead | | | had to go with the cover art for the | | | song that had been released as a | | | single on August 12, 2013, which felt | | | a little weird, but so much better. | | | Lady Gaga can be such a weirdo, IMO. | | | :P | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ [Verse 1:] I stand here waiting for you to bang the gong To crash the critic saying, "Is it right or is it wrong?"

"Blue Monday" by New Order+ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | SONG | Blue Monday | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | ARTIST | New Order | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | ALBUM | Power, Corruption & Lies (U.S.) | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | YEAR OF RELEASE | 1983 | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | MIXES | Pink: Orchestral | | | Green: Whalley's Strange | | | DLC: HXV | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | DIFFICULTY | **** | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | TRIVIA | In case you didn't know, "Blue Monday" | | | is a song by British synthpop band New | | | Order, which was first released in | | | 1983, then later remixed in 1988 and | | | 1995. At nearly seven-and-a-half | | | minutes, the song is one of the | | | longest tracks ever to chart on the UK | | | singles chart, and the biggest-selling | | | 12" single of all time. It later | | | became a popular anthem in the dance | | | club scene, and has since been covered | | | by other artists, among them the U.S. | | | alternative metal band Orgy (who | | | released the cover as a second single | | | for the album "Candyass" on December | | | 14, 1998). A pretty cool successor, | | | if I say so myself. :) | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ How does it feel To treat me like you do When you've laid your hands upon me And told me who you are I thought I was mistaken I thought I heard your words Tell me how do I feel Tell me now how do I feel Those who came before me Lived through their vocations From the past until completion They will turn away no more And I still find it so hard To say what I need to say But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me Just how I should feel today I see a ship in the harbor I can and shall obey But if it wasn't for your misfortunes I'd be a heavenly person today And I thought I was mistaken And I thought I heard you speak Tell me how do I feel Tell me now how should I feel Now I stand here waiting I thought I told you to leave me While I walked down to the beach Tell me how does it feel When your heart grows cold (grows cold, grows cold, grows cold) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +iii. "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen+ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | SONG | Bohemian Rhapsody | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | ARTIST | Queen | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | ALBUM | A Night at the Opera | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | YEAR OF RELEASE | 1975 | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | MIXES | Pink: Classical Arrangement | | | Green: Metal | | | DLC: Fort Knox Five | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | DIFFICULTY | * | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | TRIVIA | This song was written by Freddie | | | Mercury while he was at his home at | | | Holland Road, Kensington, in West | | | London. The song consists of several | | | sections: a ballad segment ending with | | | a guitar solo, an operatic passage, | | | and a hard rock section. At the time, | | | it was the most expensive single ever | | | made, having become a commercial | | | success and selling more than a | | | million copies by the end of January | | | 1976. Following Mercury's death 15 | | | years later, the song became number 1 | | | for five weeks. In the U.S., it | | | originally peaked at #9 in 1976, and | | | returned to the chart at #2 in 1992 | | | following the song's appearance in the | | | film "Wayne's World", which revived | | | its American popularity and earned the | | | song an MTV Video Music Award for | | | "Best Video from a Film". It also | | | appeared in another Harmonix game, | | | 2010's "Rock Band 3". Nice! | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, No escape from reality. Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see. I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy, Because I'm easy come, easy go, Little high, little low. Any way the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to me. Mama, just killed a man, Put a gun against his head, Pulled my trigger, now he's dead. Mama, life had just begun, But now I've gone and thrown it all away. Mama, ooh, Didn't mean to make you cry, If I'm not back again this time tomorrow, Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters. Too late, my time has come, Sends shivers down my spine, Body's aching all the time. Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go, Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth. Mama, ooh (any way the wind blows), I don't wanna die, I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all. [Guitar solo] I see a little silhouetto of a man, Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the fandango? Thunderbolt and lightning, Very, very frightening me. (Galileo) Galileo, (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo, Figaro, Magnifico. (-co, -co, -co) I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me. He's just a poor boy from a poor family, Spare him his life from this monstrosity. Easy come, easy go, will you let me go? Bismillah! (No!) We will not let you go. (Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go. (Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go. (Let me go!) Will not let you go. (Let me go!) Will not let you go. Let me go! (Oh, oh, oh) No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, mamma mia, mamma mia (Mamma mia, let me go.) Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me. [Guitar interlude] So you think you can stone me and spit in my eyes? So you think you can love me and leave me to die? Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby, Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here. [Guitar interlude and solo] (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-yeah, ooh-yeah.) Nothing really matters, Anyone can see, Nothing really matters, Nothing really matters to me. Any way the wind blows. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +iv. "Enjoy the Silence" by Depeche Mode+ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | SONG | Enjoy the Silence | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | ARTIST | Depeche Mode | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | ALBUM | Violator | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | YEAR OF RELEASE | 1990 | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | MIXES | Pink: Speed of Dark | | | Green: Chris Micali | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | DIFFICULTY | *** | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | TRIVIA | "Enjoy the Silence" was written by | | | British pop band Depeche Mode in late | | | 1989. The song was certified Gold in | | | the U.S. and Germany, and won Best | | | British Single at the 1991 BRIT | | | Awards. There are two music videos | | | for the song. The first video | | | references the themes and storyline of | | | the philosophical children's book by | | | Antoine de Saint-Exup�ry, "The Little | | | Prince", with brief flashes of a | | | single rose (which is also on the | | | album cover) appearing throughout the | | | video. The second video is a | | | promotional one, shot by French TV, | | | with the band lip-syncing the song | | | while standing atop the World Trade | | | Center at the WTC rooftop World | | | observatory. Pretty ironic that the | | | WTC would stand for another eleven | | | years until the 9/11 attacks. Oh | | | well. | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ Words like violence Break the silence Come crashing in Into my little world Painful to me Pierce right through me Can't you understand Oh my little girl All I ever wanted All I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm Vows are spoken To be broken Feelings are intense Words are trivial Pleasures remain So does the pain Words are meaningless And forgettable All I ever wanted All I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm All I ever wanted All I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm All I ever wanted All I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm [Enjoy the silence] +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +v. "Feel Good Inc." by Gorillaz+ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | SONG | Feel Good Inc. | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | ARTIST | Gorillaz | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | ALBUM | Demon Days | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | YEAR OF RELEASE | 2005 | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | MIXES | Pink: Melancholy Town | | | Green: Case & Point | | | DLC: Danny Saber | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | DIFFICULTY | *** | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | TRIVIA | Believe it or not, "Feel Good Inc." is | | | a song written by Damon Albarn and his | | | virtual band Gorillaz in 2005. In one | | | interview from the iTunes session in | | | 2010, band member 2D stated that the | | | inspiration for the song came from the | | | time that he was passing a huge field | | | of wind turbines at the San Gorgonio | | | Pass Wind Farm while believing that he | | | was "going to the Coachella Festival | | | or something", so he really started | | | with the chorus section and then built | | | it up from there. In addition, the | | | song features rap verses by De La Soul | | | and its themes revolve around | | | isolation and escapism. The song went | | | on to win the MTV Video Music Awards | | | for "Breakthough Video" and "Best | | | Special Effects in a Video", and the | | | 2006 Grammy Award for "Best Pop | | | Collaboration with Vocals". Not bad | | | for a cartoon band with real-life | | | fame. P.S. BTW, in case you didn't | | | know, this song is the edited version, | | | because the original had strong | | | language that was inappropriate for | | | children, so the guys at Disney | | | Interactive Studios had to tone down | | | the language in the song in order to | | | fit the E10+ rating. | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ Hahahahahahahahaha, Feel good, Feel good, Feel good, Feel good, Feel good, Feel good, Feel good, Feel good, Feel good... City's breaking down on a camel's back. They just have to go 'cause they don't know wack So all you fill the streets it's appealing to see You won't get out the county, 'cause you're bad and free You've got a new horizon it's ephemeral style. A melancholy town where we never smile. And all I wanna hear is the message beep. My dreams, they've got to kiss me 'cause I don't get sleep, no Windmill, windmill for the land. Turned forever hand in hand Take it all in on your stride It is ticking, falling down Love forever love is free Let's turn forever you and me Windmill, windmill for the land Is everybody in? [De La Soul:] Laughing gas these hazmats, fast cats, Lining them up like, like that Lay these ponies at the track It's my chocolate attack. I'm stepping in the heart of this here Care bear reppin' it harder this year Watch me as I gravitate Hahahahahahaa. Yo, we gonna go ghost town, This motown, With your sound You're in the blink Gonna bite the dust Can't fight with us With your sound You kill the INC. So don't stop, get it, get it Until you jet ahead. Yo, watch the way I navigate Hahahahahhaa. Feel good, ahhhhahahahah Feel good, ahhhhahahahah Feel good, ahhhhahahahah Feel good, ahhhhahahahah Windmill, windmill for the land. Turned forever hand in hand Take it all in on your stride It is ticking, falling down Love forever love is free Let's turn forever you and me Windmill, windmill for the land Is everybody in?

Don't stop, get it, get it We are your captains in it Steady, Watch me navigate, Ahahahahahhaa.

"Fire" by The Jimi Hendrix Experience+ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | SONG | Fire | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | ARTIST | The Jimi Hendrix Experience | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | ALBUM | Are You Experienced | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | YEAR OF RELEASE | 1967 (Album); 1969 (Single) | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | MIXES | Pink: Eddie Kramer Electronica/Analog | | | Green: Eddie Kramer Orchestral | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | DIFFICULTY | ***** | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | TRIVIA | This song was written by Jimi Hendrix | | | and recorded by his band, The Jimi | | | Hendrix Experience, in early 1967. | | | The song was described as "an exercise | | | in soul, psychedelic rock, and | | | polyrhythmic jazz-inspired drumming" | | | by AllMusic critic Matthew Greenwald. | | | The song became so popular, it was | | | even covered by The Red Hot Chili | | | Peppers on their 1989 album, "Mother's | | | Milk". Despite its sexual overtones, | | | the origin of the song came when bass | | | player Noel Redding invited Hendrix to | | | his mother's house on New Year's Eve | | | in Folkestone, England, after a gig. | | | Once they arrived at Redding's house, | | | Hendrix asked Redding's mom if he | | | could stand next to her fireplace to | | | warm himself. She agreed, but her | | | Great Dane was in the way, so Hendrix | | | called out, "Move over, Rover, and let | | | Jimi take over!" What a pretty weird | | | origin for a song, if you ask me! :P | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ Alright, now dig this, baby You don't care for me I don'-a care about that You gotta new fool, ha! I like it like that I have only one burning desire Let me stand next to your fire Let me stand next to your fire (Hey, let me stand next to your fire) Let me stand next to your fire (Oh, let me stand, baby) Let me stand next to your fire (Let me stand) Let me stand next to your fire (Yeah, baby) Listen here, baby and stop acting so crazy You say your mum ain't home, it ain't my concern, Just don't play with me and you won't get burned I have only one itching desire Let me stand next to your fire Let me stand next to your fire (Yeah! Let me stand, baby) Let me stand next to your fire (Let me stand) Let me stand next to your fire (Oh, let me stand) Let me stand next to your fire (OW!) Aww, move over, Rover and let Jimi take over Yeah, you know what I'm talking 'bout Yeah, get on with it, baby Oh! Yeah. That's what I'm talking 'bout Now dig this! Ha! Now listen, baby You try to gimme your money you better save it, babe Save it for your rainy day I have only one burning desire Let me stand next to your fire, ha Let me stand next to your fire (Ow, let me stand) Let me stand next to your fire (Oh, let me stand, baby) Let me stand next to your fire (I ain't gonna do you no harm) Let me stand next to your fire (Ow!) Yeah! You'd better move it, baby... I ain't gonna hurt you, baby... I ain't calling your name... Ow! Ah, yes, that's Jimi talking, baby! Yeah, baby Ooooh! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +vii. "Forget You" CeeLo Green+ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | SONG | Forget You | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | ARTIST | CeeLo Green | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | ALBUM | The Lady Killer | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | YEAR OF RELEASE | 2010 | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | MIXES | Pink: '80s Rewind | | | Green: WatchTheDuck | | | DLC: Fi-Ya House | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | DIFFICULTY | ** | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | TRIVIA | This is a tricky song title to work | | | with, as the title is the censored | | | version of "the other f-word" that is | | | very offensive to children. Anyway, | | | the song was written by CeeLo Green, | | | The Smeezingtons and Brody Brown in | | | 2010 as a "take that" to Atlantic | | | Records itself, as CeeLo explained in | | | an NME interview. The song gained so | | | much popularity, it was remixed in | | | "The Colbert Report" as "F*** You (Fox | | | News", with the first full verse as a | | | satirical parody of the Fox News | | | Channel Controversies. Another | | | version of the song, entitled "Thank | | | You", was rewritten as a tribute to | | | firefighters (the lyrics mention | | | CeeLo's mom as one of them) and | | | released on May 9, 2011. The song was | | | even performed by Gwyneth Paltrow in | | | the "Glee" episode "The Substitute" on | | | November 16, 2010. It's kind of | | | amazing how one little song with | | | lyrics that could have been offensive | | | for children, and could have gotten | | | CeeLo written out of the contract with | | | Altantic Records for their | | | constraining his sense of creativity, | | | could have so much talent for | | | everything. | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ [Chorus] I see you driving 'round town With the girl I love and I'm like, Forget you! Oo, oo, ooo I guess the change in my pocket Wasn't enough I'm like, Forget you! And forget her too! Said, if I was richer, I'd still be with ya Ha, now ain't that some shh? (ain't that some shh?)

"Galang" by M.I.A.+ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | SONG | Galang | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | ARTIST | M.I.A. | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | ALBUM | Arular | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | YEAR OF RELEASE | 2003 (Single); 2005 (Album) | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | MIXES | Pink: Saffron Harem | | | Green: Inter:sect Spoon Party | | | DLC: Daizy D00K H00TENANNY | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | DIFFICULTY | ** | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | TRIVIA | "Galang" is a song written by Maya | | | "M.I.A." Arulpragasam, Justine | | | Frischmann, Ross Orton, and Steve | | | Mackey in 2003. It was the second | | | song M.I.A. wrote on her Roland | | | MC-505, intending the piece to be | | | performed by Frischmann's band | | | Elastica, since it was inspired by | | | M.I.A.'s experiences and observations | | | of life in London. However, after | | | co-writing the song, Frischmann | | | convinced her to record "Galang" | | | herself, complimenting its lyrical | | | narrative and musical direction. The | | | song's title itself comes from the | | | Jamaican patois slang word for "go | | | on", and the song itself comments on a | | | weed-smoking young character in Iraq | | | War/post 9/11-period London, caught in | | | street battles, paranoid, and chased | | | by the police while looking for a job | | | in the city. "Galang" was a major | | | critical success among contemporary | | | and older critics, who frequently hail | | | its sound and lyrics as novel, | | | reflective, and ahead of their time. | | | What a pretty sweet time of success! | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ London Calling Speak the Slang now Boys say Wha While girls say Wha-What London Calling Speak the Slang now Boys say Wha While girls say Wha-What Slam Galang galang galang Ga la ga la ga la Land ga Lang ga Lang Shotgun get down Get down get down get down Ge-d Ge-d Ge-d Down G-down G-down Too late you down D-down D-down D-down Ta na ta na ta na Ta na ta na ta Blaze a blaze Galang a lang a lang lang Purple Haze Galang a lang a lang lang Blaze a blaze Galang a lang a lang lang Purple Haze Galang a lang a lang lang Who the [...] is huntin' you?

The | | | song is a reggae-rock song influenced | | | by new wave and funk, and its lyrics | | | are about the rapturous feelings | | | brought about by a relationship | | | infused with positive emotion as well | | | as euphoria from sexual intercourse. | | | While the song is said by some critics | | | to have the influences from various | | | bands, namely, The Police, Mars | | | himself has stated that he did not set | | | out to write anything inspired by the | | | band; instead, it came to him out of | | | the blue one night during the studio | | | sessions prior to recording the album, | | | when he started playing the opening | | | chords on his guitar, and the next | | | thing he knew, he "was up there in | | | Sting-ville".

During the band's | | | first American tour, however, he | | | reworked the song and slightly altered | | | the riff, becoming the final version | | | of the song. In addition to the core | | | riff, Summers came up with what Sting | | | described as a "lovely arpeggiated | | | shiver" during the break prior to the | | | third verse. Stewart Copeland's drum | | | track was overdubbed from about six | | | different parts. The song itself is | | | about a castaway on an island, who | | | sends out a message in a bottle in an | | | effort to seek love; a year later, he | | | hasn't gotten any response and | | | despairs, thinking that he is destined | | | to be alone. The next morning, he | | | wakes up to find a hundred billion | | | bottles on the shore and realizes that | | | there are many people like him out | | | there. It's amazing that the song is | | | one of the inspirations for the | | | aforementioned song by Bruno Mars, | | | "Locked Out of Heaven" (see above); in | | | addition, "Message in a Bottle" was | | | also featured in "Guitar Hero II", | | | which was also developed by Harmonix | | | Music Systems.

The song features a | | | virtuoso bass performance by John | | | Entwistle; according to a 1996 | | | interview by Goldmine Magazine, the | | | bass part was recorded on the first | | | take, and Entwistle claimed he was | | | "joking around" when he played the | | | part, but the band loved it and used | | | it in the final version.

The song also | | | achieved international success, and | | | spent nine weeks atop the Billboard | | | Top 100; in doing so, Lorde became the | | | first New Zealand solo act to top the | | | Hot 100, as well as the youngest | | | artist to achieve a number one single | | | since 1987. Pretty cool for a song | | | that should be... how shall I say | | | it... "royal"! :D P.S., also forgot | | | to tell you that "Weird Al" Yankovic | | | made a parody of this song called | | | "Foil", which, like his "Radioactive" | | | parody "Inactive", is included on his | | | 2014 album "Mandatory Fun". Which is | | | also a bit crazy, if you ask me. :P | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ [Verse 1] I've never seen a diamond in the flesh I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies And I'm not proud of my address, In a torn-up town, no postcode envy But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom, Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room, We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams. But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece, Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash. We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair. And we'll never be royals (royals). It don't run in our blood, That kind of luxe just ain't for us. We crave a different kind of buzz. Let me be your ruler (ruler), You can call me Queen Bee And baby I'll rule. (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule.) Let me live that fantasy. [Verse 2] My friends and I�we've cracked the code. We count our dollars on the train to the party. And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this, We didn't come from money. But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom, Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room, We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams. But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece, Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash. We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair. And we'll never be royals (royals). It don't run in our blood, That kind of luxe just ain't for us. We crave a different kind of buzz. Let me be your ruler (ruler), You can call me Queen Bee And baby I'll rule. (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule.) Let me live that fantasy. Ooh ooh oh We're bigger than we ever dreamed, And I'm in love with being queen. Ooh ooh oh Life is great without a care We aren't caught up in your love affair. And we'll never be royals (royals). It don't run in our blood, That kind of luxe just ain't for us. We crave a different kind of buzz. Let me be your ruler (ruler), You can call me Queen Bee And baby I'll rule.

It was released in New | | | Zealand on June 6, 2010 as a lead | | | single from the album, and re-released | | | on November 1, 2011; it peaked at #37 | | | on the New Zealand singles chart.

As for the song, all | | | I can say is that there are no words | | | to describe how good "Settle Down" | | | truly is. | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ I wanna settle down I wanna settle down Won't you settle down with me?

I wanna settle down I wanna settle down Baby there's no need to run I'll love you well I wanna settle down It's time to bring you down On just one knee for now Let's make our vows Star so light and star so bright First star I see tonight!

"Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes+ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | SONG | Seven Nation Army | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | ARTIST | The White Stripes | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | ALBUM | Elephant | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | YEAR OF RELEASE | 2003 | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | MIXES | Pink: Micali X Bartlett | | | Green: Steve Porter | | | DLC: Danny Saber | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | DIFFICULTY | *** | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ | TRIVIA | "Seven Nation Army" is a song written | | | and produced by Jack White of The | | | White Stripes in 2002. The song's | | | title comes from the name that Jack | | | used to call The Salvation Army as a | | | child. (For those not in the know, The | | | Salvation Army is a Christian | | | denominational church and an | | | international charitable organization | | | structured in a quasi-military fashion | | | and founded in 1865 in London by one- | | | time Methodist circuit-preacher | | | William Booth.) The song is known for | | | its underlying riff; although it | | | sounds like a bass guitar, the sound | | | is actually created by running Jack | | | White's semi-acoustic, 1950s-style Kay | | | Hollowbody guitar through a DigiTech | | | Whammy pedal set down an octave. A | | | combination of the song's popularity, | | | recognizable riff, and military lyrics | | | led to it becoming the band's | | | signature song, which has been used | | | widely at sporting events and | | | political protests internationally. | | | For a song that was well-received and | | | won a 2004 Grammy Award for "Best Rock | | | Song", "Seven Nation Army" is a | | | powerful song indeed, and one not to | | | be taken lightly in F:ME. | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ I'm gonna fight 'em off A seven nation army couldn't hold me back They're gonna rip it off Taking their time right behind my back And I'm talkin' to myself at night Because I can't forget Back and forth through my mind Behind a cigarette And the message comin' from my eyes says, "Leave it alone." Don't wanna hear about it Every single one's got a story to tell Everyone knows about it From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell And if I catch it comin' back my way I'm gonna serve it to you And that ain't what you want to hear But that's what I'll do And the feeling comin' from my bones says, "Find a home." I'm going to Wichita Far from this opera for evermore I'm gonna work the straw Make the sweat drip out of every pore And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding Right before the Lord All the words are gonna bleed from me And I will think no more And the stains comin' from my blood tell me, "Go back home." +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +xx.

Musically, the song has | | | strong, festive elements of power pop | | | and afrobeat and influences from folk | | | rock. A line in the lyrics, "this is | | | it, boys, this is war," recalls the | | | English version of Nena's 1983 hit "99 | | | Luftballons". "Some Nights" lyrically | | | expresses the existential angst of a | | | young protagonist who is far away from | | | home. The song has received acclaim | | | from music critics, who have noted | | | significant similarities between this | | | and Simon & Garfunkel's 1970 song | | | "Cecilia". What a pretty odd song to | | | make it onto the game, if I say so | | | myself. | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck Some nights I call it a draw Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle Some nights I wish they'd just fall off But I still wake up, I still see your ghost Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?)

Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh, Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh This is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for? Why don't we break the rules already? I was never one to believe the hype Save that for the black and white I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked, But here they come again to jack my style That's alright (that's alright) I found a martyr in my bed tonight She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am Oh, who am I? Mmm... Mmm... Well, some nights I wish that this all would end 'Cause I could use some friends for a change. And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again Some nights I always win, I always win... But I still wake up, I still see your ghost Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?) Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?) Most nights I don't know... (oh, come on) So this is it. I sold my soul for this? Washed my hands of that for this? I miss my mom and dad for this? (Come on) No. When I see stars, when I see, when I see stars, that's all they are When I hear songs, they sound like a swan, so come on. Oh, come on. Oh, come on. Oh, come on! Well, that is it, guys, that is all - five minutes in and I'm bored again Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands This one is not for the folks at home; Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go Who the heck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun? My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she called "love" When I look into my nephew's eyes... Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from... Some terrible nights... ah... Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh, Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh The other night you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me I called you up but we'd both agree It's for the best you didn't listen It's for the best we get our distance...

The song lyrically tells | | | listeners that true love can defy all | | | circumstances and the obstacles it can | | | overcome, while Big Sean's rap verse | | | also exalts a lady love. The song was | | | met with mixed reception, with some | | | critics calling it "a dubstep love | | | song", "plaintive and still | | | unmistakably teenage", "a massive yet | | | somehow intimate dance track", and "a | | | gauche mishmash of All Around the | | | World's 'Love Is All We Need' clich�- | | | spewing that should probably never be | | | uttered by an 18-year-old with his own | | | Batmobile".

The song was originally | | | recorded for Lewis' 2012 studio album, | | | "Glassheart", but ultimately scrapped | | | from the final track listing when the | | | album was redesigned to include more | | | ballads. The song ended up on | | | Goulding's 2013 album, "Halcyon Days", | | | which is a reissue of her 2012 studio | | | album, "Halcyon". The song was met | | | with mixed reception by music critics, | | | some of whom praised it as "catchy", | | | while others felt that it was not | | | memorable. Jacques Peterson of | | | Popdust has stated, "While Ellie's | | | 'Burn' is a little more indie-pop | | | sounding, Leona's breaks into | | | derivative tropical synths on the | | | second verse in an obvious attempt to | | | match the Stargate sound that was such | | | a popular radio staple a few years | | | ago." "Burn" was nominated for | | | British Single of the Year and British | | | Video of the Year at the 2014 Brit | | | Awards. Well, I couldn't have said | | | anything better of the song myself. | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ We, we don't have to worry 'bout nothing 'Cause we got the fire, and we're burning one hell of a something They, they gonna see us from outer space, outer space Light it up, like we're the stars of the human race, human race When the light started out they don�t know what they heard Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky 'Cause we got the fire, fire, fire Yeah we got the fire, fire, fire And we gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn Gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn We don't wanna leave, no.

According to bassist Tina | | | Weyworth, drummer Chris Frantz had | | | just been to see Parliament-Funkadelic | | | in its full glory at Madison Square | | | Garden, and he was so hyped that | | | during the jam he kept yelling, | | | "Burning down the house!", which was a | | | P-Funk audience chant, and David Byrne | | | liked the line, changing it to the | | | finished version. The initial lyrics | | | were considerably different, however, | | | as in an interview on NPR's "All | | | Things Considered" (which aired on | | | December 2, 1984), Byrne played | | | excerpts of early worktapes showing | | | how the song had evolved from an | | | instrumental jam by Weymouth and | | | Frantz; once the whole band had | | | reworked the groove into something | | | resembling the final recording, Byrne | | | began chanting nonsense syllables over | | | the music until he arrived at the | | | phrasing that fit with the rhythms, a | | | technique influenced by former | | | producer Brian Eno. "Burning Down the | | | House" was later put on Clear | | | Channel's list of possibly | | | inappropriate songs after the attacks | | | of September 11, 2001. Well, you know | | | what they say: "Fight fire with fire", | | | I suppose. | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ Watch out, you might get what you're after Cool, babies, strange but not a stranger I'm an ordinary guy Burning down the house Hold tight, wait till the party's over Hold tight, we're in for nasty weather There has got to be a way Burning down the house Here's your ticket, pack your bag: time for jumpin' overboard The transportation is here Close enough but not too far, maybe you know where you are Fightin' fire with fire All wet, hey, you might need a raincoat Shakedown, dreams walking in broad daylight Three hundred sixty five degrees Burning down the house It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself Gonna come in first place People on their way to work, baby, what did you expect Gonna burst into flame Burning down the house My house is out of the ordinary That's right, don't want to hurt nobody Some things sure can sweep me off my feet Burning down the house No visible means of support and you have not seen nothin' yet Everything's stuck together I don't know what you expect staring into the TV set Fighting fire with fire +++++++++++++++++++++++ +iv.

According to Ne-Yo, the song | | | was "very much inspired by just the | | | vibe of some of these house and techno | | | clubs we went to while we were in | | | London. You know, kinda smoky, kinda | | | dark and mysterious... With just that | | | constant, four-on-the-floor house beat | | | that just relly gets bashed into your | | | skull the whole time you're there, by | | | the way the music makes you feel." | | | The song lyrically describes a man who | | | has an urging attraction to a woman he | | | sees, having the desire to "come | | | closer" to her, and the attraction | | | becomes stronger and almost hypnotic. | | | "Closer" was used in a commercial for | | | Overstock.com in early 2008, and also | | | featured in episodes of "Gossip Girl" | | | and "90210"; it also reached #1 in the | | | UK Pop Charts. Not a bad song at all, | | | if I say so myself. | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ Closer Closer Closer Closer Turn the lights off in this place And she shines just like a star And I swear I know her face I just don't know who you are Turn the music up in here I still hear her loud and clear Like she's right there in my ear Telling me that she wants to own me To control me Come closer (Come closer) Come closer And I just can't pull myself away Under her spell I can't break I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop And I just can't bring myself, no way But I don't want to escape I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop I can feel her on my skin I can taste her on my tongue She's the sweetest taste of sin The more I get the more I want She wants to own me "Come closer" She says "Come closer" And I just can't pull myself away Under her spell I can't break I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop And I just can't bring myself, no way But I don't want to escape I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop Come closer Come closer Come closer Come closer Come closer Come closer Come closer I just can't stop, no I just can't stop, no I just can't stop, no I just can't stop, no And I just can't pull myself away Under her spell I can't break I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop And I just can't bring myself, no way But I don't want to escape I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop And I just can't pull myself away Under her spell I can't break I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop I just can't stop Come closer ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +v.

He | | | debated playing the song for Beyonc� | | | and putting it forward for her album, | | | but it didn't feel like a song that | | | she would record, so he immediately | | | came up with the chorus idea, came | | | home and finished the song. "Counting | | | Stars" has been one of the band's most | | | successful singles, reaching #1 in | | | many countries including Canada and | | | the UK, #2 in the U.S., and the top | | | ten in 20 countries.

According to Gaga, | | | the song's lyrical inspiration came | | | the death of her grandfather in | | | September 2010; the lyrics themselves | | | describe a story about a person living | | | their final moments on earth and | | | wanting to feel their love for one | | | another once more before they pass on | | | to the next life, and they are looking | | | at life directly with the feeling that | | | they are a champion, like the emotion | | | displayed by Rocky Balboa in the 1976 | | | Sylvester Stallone film "Rocky", which | | | the song also inspires. Alongside a | | | saxophone solo played by Clarence | | | Clemons, the song's melody resembles | | | that of Bruce Springsteen's musical | | | works and contains several qualities | | | similar to that of 1980s adult | | | contemporary musical works. A music | | | video for the song, filmed in late May | | | 2011, shows Gaga dancing on a fire | | | escape and walking down a lonely | | | street. Many music critics praised | | | both the song and the video: the song, | | | because of the chorus and musical | | | production and because of her lyrics, | | | which have been described as | | | "soulful"; and the video, because it | | | is similar to the works of Madonna, | | | Janet Jackson, and her brother, the | | | late Michael Jackson. What a | | | beautiful, heartbreaking song that | | | should be treated as an homage to our | | | departed loved ones whose lives are | | | lived to the full, especially in a | | | game like F:ME. *sniff* | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ There ain't no reason you and me should be alone Tonight, yeah, baby!

The song originated from a | | | previously unreleased song called | | | "PSA" (or "Public Service | | | Announcement"), whose song is similar | | | in melody and tempo as the former; | | | "PSA" was later released as a single | | | in 2003 under the title "Bad Day". | | | "ItEotWaWKIAIFF" itself is in the | | | tradition of Bob Dylan's song | | | "Subterranean Homesick Blues", and is | | | known for its quick-flying, seemingly | | | stream-of-consciousness rant with a | | | number of diverse references, | | | including a quartet of indviduals with | | | the initials "L.B.": Leonard | | | Bernstein, Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny | | | Bruce, and Lester Bangs (the "L.B." | | | references were claimed by singer | | | Michael Stipe to be from a dream he | | | had in which he found himself at a | | | party surrounded by famous people who | | | all shared these initials). The song | | | reached #69 in the U.S. Billboard Hot | | | 100, and later #39 in the UK singles | | | chart when it was rereleased in | | | December 1991.

The lyrics were written by | | | frontman Robert Smith, who drew | | | inspiration from a past trip to the | | | seashore in Beachy Head in southern | | | England with future wife Mary Poole; | | | according to Smith, the song is about | | | "hyperventilating - kissing and | | | fainting to the floor." Before the | | | lyrics were completed, Smith was given | | | an offer to use an instrumental | | | version of the song for the French TV | | | show, "Les Enfants du Rock", and he | | | accepted the offer gladly. The song | | | was praised by music critics and has | | | been covered by artists such as | | | Dinosaur Jr., Alvin and the Chipmunks, | | | and Katie Melua. It was also featured | | | along with "Bohemian Rhapsody" and | | | "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, Pt. | | | 1" in "Rock Band 3", also developed by | | | Harmonix.

You Soft and only You Lost and lonely You Strange as angels Dancing in the deepest oceans Twisting in the water You're just like a dream Just like a dream Daylight licked me into shape I must have been asleep for days And moving lips to breathe her name I opened up my eyes And found myself alone alone Alone above a raging sea That stole the only girl I loved And drowned her deep inside of me You Soft and only You Lost and lonely You Just like heaven +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +xi.

For those of you who haven't | | | seen the film, let me tell you this: | | | the song is about Queen Elsa (sister | | | of the good-natured Anna) who abandons | | | her kingdom when her magical ability | | | to create and control winter's ice and | | | snow is discovered by the public. Up | | | in the mountains, away from confused | | | and suspicious onlookers, Elsa | | | realizes that she no longer needs to | | | hide her abilities, and so declares | | | herself free from the restrictions she | | | has had to endure since childhood; in | | | doing so, she rejoices in being able | | | to use her power without fear or | | | limit, to let the past go, and to | | | manipulate the snow to create a living | | | snowman and a magnificent ice castle | | | for herself. There are two versions | | | of the song: the original showtune | | | version by Idina Menzel in her Elsa | | | role, and a simplified pop version by | | | actress and singer Demi Lovato over | | | the film's closing credits (albeit | | | with shorter lyrics and background | | | chorus). "Let It Go" reached the top | | | 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and | | | won both the Academy Award for Best | | | Original Song in 2014 and the Grammy | | | Award for Best Song Written for Visual | | | Media in 2015, which is the year we're | | | in now by the time this guide is | | | written. It's no wonder that Lovato's | | | version is chosen as a DLC for F:ME: | | | according to Anderson-Lopez, Lovato | | | "had a past that she's pretty open | | | about that is similar to Elsa's | | | journey of letting a dark past and | | | fear behind and moving forward with | | | your power". Anyway, no matter what | | | version you have, Menzel or Lovato, | | | this one is a song we definitely can't | | | let go of for years to come! :) | +-----------------+----------------------------------------+ Let it go, let it go Can't hold it back anymore Let it go, let it go Turn my back and slam the door The snow glows white on the mountain tonight, Not a footprint to be seen. A kingdom of isolation and it looks like I'm the queen. The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside. Couldn't keep it in, Heaven knows I tried. Don't let them in, don't let them see, Be the good girl you always have to be. Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know. Well, now they know. Let it go, let it go Can't hold it back anymore Let it go, let it go Turn my back and slam the door And here I stand, and here I'll stay Let it go, let it go The cold never bothered me anyway It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small And the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all. Up here in the cold thin air I finally can breathe. I know I left a life behind but I'm too relieved to grieve. Let it go, let it go Can't hold it back anymore Let it go, let it go Turn my back and slam the door And here I stand, and here I'll stay Let it go, let it go The cold never bothered me anyway Standing frozen In the life I've chosen. You won't find me. The past is all behind me Buried in the snow. Let it go, let it go Can't hold it back anymore Let it go, let it go Turn my back and slam the door And here I stand, and here I'll stay Let it go, let it go The cold never bothered me anyway, yeah, whoa (Na na, na na, na na na na na) [x4] Let it go, yeah Na, na. Here I stand. Let it go, let it go, ooh Let it go. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +xiii.

The song was nominated | | | for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at | | | the Grammy Awards on November 30, | | | 2011, and won the award for "Best Rock | | | Video" at the 2012 MTV Video Music | | | Awards on September 6; it was also | | | featured in trailers for the Academy | | | Award-winning film "Life of Pi".

At the time the band | | | was working for the film, Pearl Jam | | | bassist Jeff Ament had been put in | | | charge of creating the name for a | | | fictional band that would appear in | | | the film. Before finally choosing | | | Citizen Dick for its name, Ament had | | | compiled a list of potential names | | | that included the name "Spoonman"; the | | | name was inspired by Artis the | | | Spoonman, a street performer from | | | Santa Cruz, California, and later | | | Seattle, Washington, who plays music | | | with a set of spoons. Cornell | | | eventually used the names on the list | | | to create songs for the film, and an | | | acoustic version of "Spoonman" was | | | created from it; this version can be | | | heard in the background in one scene | | | from the film. Then, Soundgarden | | | decided to work on the electric | | | version of the song, whose | | | inspiration, Artis the Spoonman, | | | played a prominent role in the song | | | itself; he is heard playing his spoons | | | as part of the song's bridge, while | | | drummer Matt Cameron also plays pots | | | and pans on the song. The song was | | | met with positive reception and won | | | the award for "Best Metal Performance" | | | at the 1995 Grammy Awards. "Spoonman" | | | appeared in other video games, | | | including the "Rock Band" video games | | | and "Guitar Heroes: Warriors of Rock", | | | which were also developed by Harmonix! | | | That's a crazy song to work with, and | | | it's a really difficult song right | | | next to "Fire", "The Real Me", and | | | "Lay Me Down".

"Eine kleine Nachtmusik (Allegro)" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart+ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +---------------+------------------------------------------+ | SONG | Eine kleine Nachtmusik (Allegro) | +---------------+------------------------------------------+ | COMPOSER | Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart | +---------------+------------------------------------------+ | YEAR COMPOSED | 1787 | +---------------+------------------------------------------+ | MIXES | Pink: Nassau | | | Green: Chords | +---------------+------------------------------------------+ | DIFFICULTY | * | +---------------+------------------------------------------+ | TRIVIA | "Eine kleine Nachtmusik (Serenade No. 13 | | | for Strings in G Major), K. 525" is a | | | 1787 composition for a chamber ensemble | | | by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart; the German | | | title means "a little serenade, though | | | it's often more literally but less | | | accurately as "a little night music". | | | The work is written for an ensemble of | | | two violins, viola, and cello with | | | optional double bass, but is often | | | performed by string orchestras. This | | | serenade was completed on August 10, | | | 1787, while Mozart was working on the | | | second act of his opera "Don Giovanni"; | | | it is not known why it was composed, but | | | the work was not published until about | | | 1827, long after Mozart's death, by | | | Johann Andr� in Offenbach am Main. It | | | had been sold to this publisher in 1799 | | | by Mozart's widow Constanze, a part of a | | | large bundle of her husband's | | | compositions. Today, the serenade is | | | widely performed and recorded, and is | | | regarded as the most popular of all | | | Mozart's works, especially with the | | | "Allegro" part; Wolfgang Hildesheimer | | | writes of the music, "Even if we hear it | | | on every street corner, its high quality | | | is undisputed, an occasional piece from | | | a light but happy pen." | +---------------+------------------------------------------+ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +ii. "The Four Seasons: Winter (1st Movement)" by Antonio Vivaldi+ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +---------------+------------------------------------------+ | SONG | The Four Seasons: Winter (1st Movement) | +---------------+------------------------------------------+ | COMPOSER | Antonio Vivaldi | +---------------+------------------------------------------+ | YEAR COMPOSED | 1720 | +---------------+------------------------------------------+ | MIXES | Pink: Alt Rock | | | Green: Steve Porter | +---------------+------------------------------------------+ | DIFFICULTY | **** | +---------------+------------------------------------------+ | TRIVIA | "The Four Seasons" (or "Le quattro | | | stagioni") is a set of four violin | | | concertos by Antonio Vivaldi, regarded | | | as Vivaldi's best-known work among the | | | most popular pieces in the Baroque music | | | repertoire. The texture of each | | | concerto is varied, with each resembling | | | its respective season (examples: | | | "Winter" is peppered with silvery | | | pizzicato notes from the high strings, | | | while "Summer" evokes a thunderstorm in | | | its final movement, which is why the | | | movement is often called "Storm"). The | | | concertos were first published in 1725 | | | as a part of a set of twelve concerti, | | | Vivaldi's Op. 8, entitled "The Contest | | | Between Harmony and Invention"; he | | | dedicated their publication to a | | | Bohemian patron, Count V�clav Morzin of | | | Vrchlab�, and so mentioned the count's | | | longstanding regard for these four, in | | | particular (which had apparently been | | | performed with the nobleman's orchestra, | | | in Prague's Morzin Palace)�although his | | | dedication may have been closely related | | | to the completion of an Augustinian | | | monastery that year, where Vivaldi, a | | | priest himself, refers to Morzin, the | | | church's dedicator, as "Chamberlain and | | | Counsellor to His Majesty, the Catholic | | | Emperor"�while as Maestro di Musica in | | | Italy Vivaldi presents them anew, with | | | sonnets or enhancements for clear | | | interpretation. At the time of writing | | | "The Four Seasons", the modern solo form | | | of the concerto had not yet been defined | | | (typically a solo instrument and | | | accompanying orchestra). Vivaldi's | | | original arrangement for solo violin | | | with string quartet and basso continuo | | | helped to define the form of the | | | concerto. "The Four Seasons" still | | | continues to be performed widespread and | | | used in media, with movements of | | | "Spring" and "Winter" used in TV shows | | | and The Weather Channel in the mid-90s. | | | Of course, how the guys at Harmonix | | | chose the first movement of "Winter" | | | instead of the first movement of | | | "Spring", or why, is beyond us. :S | +---------------+------------------------------------------+ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +iii. "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2" by Franz Liszt+ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +---------------+------------------------------------------+ | SONG | Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 | +---------------+------------------------------------------+ | COMPOSER | Franz Liszt | +---------------+------------------------------------------+ | YEAR COMPOSED | 1847 | +---------------+------------------------------------------+ | MIXES | Pink: Hungarian On The Plain | | | Green: Telecaster | +---------------+------------------------------------------+ | DIFFICULTY | ** | +---------------+------------------------------------------+ | TRIVIA | "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2, S.244/2" is | | | the second set of the 19 Hungarian | | | Rhapsodies by Hungarian-born composer | | | and pianist Franz Liszt, who was | | | strongly influenced by the music in his | | | youth, particularly Hungarian folk | | | music, with its unique gypsy scale, | | | rhythmic spontaneity and direct, | | | seductive expression. These elements | | | would eventually play a significant role | | | in his compositions. Although his works | | | are highly varied in style, a relatively | | | large part of his output is | | | nationalistic in character, the | | | "Hungarian Rhapsodies" being an ideal | | | example. "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2" was | | | composed in 1847 and dedicated to Count | | | L�szl� Teleki; it was first published as | | | a piano solo in 1851 by Senff and | | | Ricordi, and its immediate success and | | | popularity on the concert stage soon led | | | to an orchestrated version arranged by | | | the composer in collaboration with Franz | | | Doppler and published by Schuberth. In | | | addition to the orchestral version, | | | Liszt arranged a piano duet version in | | | 1874, published by Schuberth the | | | following year. The piece consists of | | | two distinct sections: the lassan (a | | | slow section) and the friska (a fast | | | section). "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2" | | | became widely popular and is used in | | | many forms of media, including Friz | | | Freleng's "Rhapsody in Rivets" and | | | "Rhapsody Rabbit" (featuring Bugs | | | Bunny), followed quickly by the | | | controversial release of Hanna-Barbera's | | | Tom and Jerry cartoon, "The Cat | | | Concerto" (which won the 1946 Academy | | | Award for "Best Short Subject: | | | Cartoons"); the Woody Woodpecker cartoon | | | "Convict Concerto"; the Trans-Siberian | | | Orchestra piece "Wish Liszt (Toy Shop | | | Madness)" (which the rhapsody was | | | reworked into); and in Agatha Christie's | | | Poirot's 2013 adaptation of "The Labours | | | of Hercules". That's one hell of an | | | achievement, if you know what I mean. | +---------------+------------------------------------------+ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +iv.

"Night on Bald Mountain" by Modest Mussorgsky+ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +---------------+------------------------------------------+ | SONG | Night on Bald Mountain | +---------------+------------------------------------------+ | COMPOSER(S) | Modest Mussorgsky and Nikolai Rimsky- | | | Korsakov | +---------------+------------------------------------------+ | YEAR COMPOSED | 1886 | +---------------+------------------------------------------+ | MIXES | Pink: Hamilton | | | Green: Neon Sabbath | +---------------+------------------------------------------+ | DIFFICULTY | ** | +---------------+------------------------------------------+ | TRIVIA | Believe it or not, "Night on Bald | | | Mountain" refers to a series of | | | compositions by Modest Mussorgsky. | | | Inspired by Russian literary works and | | | legends, Mussorgsky worked on some opera | | | projects, including "St. John's Eve" | | | (dated on Christmas 1858, based on | | | Gogol's short story about witchcraft on | | | St. John's Eve), "The Witch" (dated on | | | September 26, 1860, based on Baron | | | Georgiy Mengden's play about a witches' | | | sabbath on Bald Mountain), and one work | | | for piano and orchestra before listening | | | to Franz Liszt's "Totentanz" in 1866; it | | | was by that time that Mussorgsky began | | | composing the orchestral version of the | | | tone poem "St. John's Eve on Bald | | | Mountain" on June 12, 1867, which was | | | then completed eleven days later on St. | | | John's Eve. He then tried to get his | | | mentor, Mily Balakirev, to perform the | | | work, but Balakirev refused to perform | | | it, and it was set aside until the 20th | | | century, when it was finally performed | | | in the 1930s. Mussorgsky then remodeled | | | the tone poem into an opera project in | | | 1872 under the title "Glorification of | | | Chernobog" from the collaborative opera- | | | ballet "Mlada", in an attempt to form | | | the basis of the "Night on Mt. Triglav" | | | scene. However, the project, too, was | | | doomed to failure and languished along | | | with the first (unlike the 1867 tone | | | poem, the score was never published or | | | performed due to the project not | | | surviving). Finally, Mussorgsky worked | | | on composing a third version, this time | | | entitled "Dream Vision of the Peasant | | | Lad", to function as a "dream | | | intermezzo" in his then unfinished opera | | | "The Fair at Sorochyntsi", dated May 10, | | | 1880. That, too, was not produced until | | | 1930, when Vissarion Shebalin reworked | | | both the opera and the piano-vocal score | | | and premiered it in 1931-1934. In the | | | years that followed Mussorgsky's death, | | | his friends prepared his manuscripts for | | | publication and created performing | | | editions of his unfinished works, | | | enabling them to enter the repertoire. | | | It was then in 1886 that Nikolai Rimsky- | | | Korsakov produced a redacted edition of | | | "Night on Bald Mountain" (described as a | | | "fantasy orchestra") from the "Dream | | | Vision of the Peasant Lad" vocal score; | | | it received its premiere on October 15, | | | 1886, in St. Petersburg's Kononov Hall, | | | performed by the orchestra of the | | | Russian Symphony concerts, with Rimsky- | | | Korsakov conducting the performance | | | himself. This time, it gained moderate | | | success and achieved lasting fame, | | | obtaining its exposure through Disney's | | | 1940 film "Fantasia" (one of which this | | | game is an interactive successor to, the | | | other being the 1999 film "Fantasia | | | 2000"), featuring an arrangement by | | | Leopold Stowkowski. Even in death, | | | Mussorgsky has gained quite an | | | achievement that still lasts to the | | | present day. | +---------------+------------------------------------------+ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +vi.

T. A. Hoffmann's | | | 1818 story "The Nutcracker and the Mouse | | | King". The ballet was given its | | | premiere in the Mariinsky Theatre on a | | | Sunday, December 18, 1892; although the | | | original production was not a success, | | | the 20-minute suite Tchaikovsky | | | extracted from the ballet was. By the | | | late 1960s, however, the complete ballet | | | grew to enormous popularity and is now | | | performed in countless ballet companies, | | | primarily during the Christmas season | | | and especially across the U.S. Although | | | Tchaikovsky had created the ballet, he | | | felt less satisfied with it than with | | | the other ballet, "The Sleeping Beauty"; | | | in fact, according to commentator Deems | | | Taylor in "Fantasia" (which also | | | included the suite), Tchaikovsky truly | | | detested his score. Although he had | | | accepted the commission from Ivan | | | Vsevolozhsky, the director of the | | | Imperial Theatres, he didn't want to | | | write the ballet in particular but | | | became more and more attuned to his task | | | of writing it. As for the suite itself, | | | it was first performed on March 19, | | | 1892, months before its December | | | premiere, and soon became widespread, | | | making its appearance in "Fantasia" | | | (albeit without the "Miniature Overture" | | | and "Marche") and being adapted in other | | | forms of media, including the 1990 | | | animated film "The Nutcracker Prince", | | | the 1962 boogie piano arrangement of | | | "Marche" called "Nut Rocker", and the | | | Trans-Siberian Orchestra adaptation of | | | the ballet called "A Mad Russian's | | | Christmas". Now this suite is a real | | | winner, no matter what time of year you | | | are in! :) P.S. This arrangement, | | | which is made for the game, consists of | | | the "Marche", the "Dance of the Sugar | | | Plum Fairies", and the "Trepak". | | | Otherwise, not too bad for a ballet that | | | is gaining popularity for so many years! | +---------------+------------------------------------------+ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +vii.

Dvor�k was | | | interested in the Native American music | | | and the African-American spirituals he | | | heard in the U.S. As director, he | | | encountered a Black American student, | | | Harry T. Burleigh, later a composer | | | himself, who sang traditional spirituals | | | to him and said that Dvor�k had absorbed | | | their "spirit" before writing his own | | | melodies. Dvor�k believed that the | | | future music of the U.S. "must be | | | founded on what are called Negro | | | melodies", which are "the product of the | | | soil" and the "folk songs of America". | | | This "New World Symphony" was | | | commissioned by the New York | | | Philharmonic and premiered on December | | | 16, 1893, at Carnegie Hall. The | | | symphony became one of the greatest | | | triumphs of Dvor�k's career, and became | | | so popular that the theme from its | | | "Largo" was adapted into a spiritual- | | | song, "Goin' Home", by Dvor�k's pupil | | | William Arms Fisher, who wrote the | | | lyrics in 1922. Several themes of the | | | symphony have been used in pop culture | | | media, including "Allegro con fuoco", | | | which is used in F:ME and can be a bit | | | tricky to play sometimes. Otherwise, | | | this song is good enough for us. :) | +---------------+------------------------------------------+ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +ix. "Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565" by Johann Sebastian Bach+ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +---------------+------------------------------------------+ | SONG | Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565 | +---------------+------------------------------------------+ | COMPOSER | Johann Sebastian Bach | +---------------+------------------------------------------+ | YEAR COMPOSED | 1833 | +---------------+------------------------------------------+ | MIXES | Pink: Organ | | | Green: Synth | +---------------+------------------------------------------+ | DIFFICULTY | *** | +---------------+------------------------------------------+ | TRIVIA | The Tocatta and Fugue in D minor, BWV | | | 565, is a piece of organ music | | | attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach. As | | | with other Bach organ works, no | | | autograph manuscript of BWV 565 | | | survives, though the only near- | | | contemporary source is an undated copy | | | by Johannes Ringk, a pupil of Johann | | | Peter Kellner. Several compositions by | | | him survive, and he is also notable | | | today for his copies of numerous | | | keyboard works by Georg B�hm, Johann | | | Pachelbel, Johann Heinrich Buttstett, | | | Dieterich Buxtehude, and other important | | | masters. BWV 565 exhibits a typical | | | simplified north German structure with a | | | free opening (toccata), a fugal section | | | (fugue), and a short free closing | | | section. The work was first published | | | by Breitkopf & H�rtel in late 1833 as | | | part of a collection of Bach's organ | | | works; the edition was conceived and | | | partly prepared by Felix Mendelssohn, | | | who had BWV in his repertoire already by | | | 1830. The first major public | | | performance was also by Mendelssohn, on | | | August 6, 1840 in Leipzig. The concert | | | was well received by critics, among them | | | Robert Schumann. In the 20th century, | | | an orchestral version of the piece, | | | created by Leopold Stokowski, | | | popularized the work further when it was | | | included in Disney's "Fantasia", | | | released in 1940. This orchestral piece | | | is also included in F:ME, albeit in the | | | shortened version of the "tocatta" part; | | | however, you can substitute the organ | | | mix for the orchestral one, and it will | | | sound more original just as it is played | | | long ago. There is also the synthesizer | | | mix that you can try out. Anyway, in my | | | mind, the "Toccata and Fugue in D minor" | | | is a cool and popular song to play, no | | | matter what piece you are in. :) | +---------------+------------------------------------------+ * B.
