sultans of swing...

this song by Dire Straits was released in 1978 in their self titled album(their first album)...the song has one of the best guitar solos...Mark Knopfler(lead guitarist ,vocals) is one of the greatest guitarist of all time and this song is a stamp to that...the name is ironical in hearing..as the song is not in the genre of swing..and also the band Dire Straits doesn't play songs of that genre(how can they be sultans of swing)...the song is actually telling about a situation..in which the performance of some band catches the attention of some person..this band is the one which is called the Sultans of Swing..the song is rythmic though it has some really fast guitaring by Mark Knopfler..with striking slides..bends..pull offs being played in the guitar solo...this is a light song with its genre somewhere in between rock 'n' roll or swing...worth listening to lighten up your mood..

hotel california...

this song by eagles is some work in classic rock...for those who like guitaring (hotel california hall freezes version) its a priceless gift...the song starts with a small lead guitaring by Don Felder..moments later a bongo picks up in the background..as this lead proceed..gradually two more rythm guitars and a bass guitar come into play..as this music begins to gel..appears the voice of Don Henley...this combination makes it a memorable and one of the best songs of all time..there is a lead(guitar) played almost through out the song...the lyrics are more like a ballad...the song starts with a person going into a hotel named Hotel California...somewhere in the desert highway...the place has a beautiful lady serving..living in it is like a journey through heaven(So I called up the captain)..as this place has no wine instead they serve champagne...there is dancing,there is merry making...the song proceeds to hint that all these are but one's bondages coz.. we are all just prisoners here, of our own device..the song ends showing the person trying to leave..but its a place whereWe are programmed to receive.You can checkout any time you like,But you can never leave! ..this song is a beauty in terms of instruments(guitaring)..with good lyrics and vocals..which becomes the reason for this song being appreciated world over...

black...

black is a song by pearl jam...the song is about a lover filled with the pain of his/her lost love(probably his/her lover is dead)..the voice of Eddie Vedder....beautiful lyrics..which is seen by the peotical expressions and some beautiful one liners..makes the song more beautiful...the song starts with the lover telling everthing has changed around him and he has lost everything..and now his hands chaffe beneath the clouds...then he says there is still happiness but he doesn't feel it...he is spinning,thinking about what he had is lost..and he is holding on to the broken glass that contained it..everything looks blank to him like pictures washed in black..his world is just as dark and black...everything tattooed..fixed to some part of the body....not moving..his life is standstill...the last few lines of the song are my favourite lines..
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine

Flow with the music "S & M"

Music..heard by many, composed by some and played by few...its an art...appreciated since the very existence of human civilization....so here is a blog that gives my view on the music i hear..by music i include songs which are the very essence of music...Be it rock, jazz , symphony,trance, pop,remixes....one will find some section or the other of the society aprreciating it..every genre of music has its grades..music expresses various moods of a human...be it headbangs, swaying your body, waving your hands in a concert...or liying sad in your room...one will have a music for every emotion.... When i was a kid i listened to lot of popular songs,movies songs(of the heros and heroines i appreciated)...gradually i started hearing hard beat songs..then metal and so on...music in all struck my cords....every thing about music is miraclous...be it from writing of songs..composing of music to playing of various instruments....you can create music using a single instrument or even a whole symphony...symphony reminds me of one of the best piece of music..symphony and metallica...a fusion of hard rock metallica and soothiing symphony of Michael Karmen...appreciated by many, this concert has some of the very best perfomances...Michael Kamen and Metallica came together to record a live album combining rock music and the symphony orchestra...the title "S&M" is short for "Symphony & Metallica"...Michael Kamen had worked with the band before on the original "Nothing Else Matters" in 1991...the live performance starts with the Michael Kamen conducting San Francisco Symphony Orchestra playing "The Ecstasy of Gold"..the musical peace played when ever metallica enters the stage before their performance...Call of ktulu is the first peace that this club of great performers play...followed by various hits by metallica...the fusion of metallica and symphony creates a great music which one can feel only after listening to it..James hetfield's strong voice(also rhythm guitarist of metallica)..heavy drumming by Lars ulrich and Kirk hammett's lead guitaring gives the energy to the live show...while the symphony creates a wave...which makes one flow with the music thus created...what is noticeably the best part of the show is that people who are not into rock music also enjoy it....
