Song about King Arthur

Hello :)

   Considering the year 2015 is drawing to a close, I would like to share my biggest discovery with you! For me, this year has gone under the banner of the new French musical theatre called The legend of king Arhur (La legende du roi Arthur). I have to admit that I adore musicals, especially these made by the French - they are the masters of creating this kind of spectacle. The producer who is the author of almost every musical comedy high-profil in France is called Dove Attia who produced The Ten Commandements (2000), Gone with the wind (2006), Le Roi Soleil (2007), Mozart, l'opera rock (2009) and Les amants de la bastille (2012).

   The premiere of this musical took place the 17th September in the Palais des congres in Paris after almost two years of preparations. Since January 2016 they will be on tour in Switzerland, Belgium and of course in France.
    The main song promoting this show is called Quelque chose de magique (Something magic) performed by Florent Mothe and Camille Lou and this is one of the most energetic songs on the disc. You could listen it below :

   In this musical there is five protagonists : The main role of king Arthur is performed by Florent Mothe, French singer and actor who six years ago was playing the role of Antonio Salieri in Mozart, l'opera rock. The role of queen Guenievre is playing by Camille Lou, young but very gifted French singer. On the stage we can also see Zaho (Zahera Darabid), an Algerian R&B singer, well known in the Francophone countries. In Legend of king Arthur there is also two singers who are participated in the French reality competition The Voice : La plus belle voix, namely Charlie Boisseau and Fabien Incardona.

  This spectacle present the story of King Arthur, his life, but especially his loves. I would like so much to see the live performance. If you don't know this musical I encourage you to search on YouTube other songs which are also very interesting. If you are the fans of the musical comedy, just let me know which of them are your favourite?
 
  I am take advantage of situation and I would like to wish you all the best for the New Year 2016!

Best wishes,

SOMEONE

Hello everyone!

I must tell you that yesterday I was at the concert of the Polish band "Sound'n'Grace" and I have to admit that I am very impressed! Since a couple of month I have been listening the song "Someone"which, I am sure you know very good. Besides you can also hear this song in the new Polish comedy "Listy do M.2". In passing, I would like to say that I saw this film today and this is a real tear-jerker, so be carefull! If you want to see it, take a tissue! ;-)

The choir "Sound'n'Grace" was founded in 2005 by Kamil Mokrzycki and Anna Żaczek in Warsaw. They are specializing in gospel music but also in soul, funk and R&B.

In my opinion the song "Someone" has got very beautiful and positive lyrics. I think that today we need the songs with a joyful message which make us stronger and which can elevate our spirits. Let's look at the refrain : 

Try to leave the past behind

Don't let troubles cloud your mind

Coz nothing forver 

And only matters

To feel there is someone in the crowd

It's very positive, isn't it? :) I've noticed that when I have some problems I search positive music which can help me to forget my troubles. Except for the lyrics, I must also appreciate the excellent voice of Kamil Bijoś. This young gay feels great on the scene and singing live isn't a problem for him! Please check it and listen the song above :)

GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING

Hi again!

Today I would like to present you the composition of French musician Alexandre Desplat, namely "Griet's Theme" from the film "Girl with a pearl earring". To be honest, I love the soundtracks... For me this is a real music and Alexandre Desplat is one of the best composers in the world. This opinion isn't groundless because this year he has won the Academy Award for his soundtrack to the film "Grand Budapest Hotel", and received seven additional Academy Awards nominations. 

But this time, I'll present you a composition that you can listen to below.

In my opinion this composition is very magical. It seem's to be calm and delicate, but a few seconds further it become more powerful and impressive. I have also the impression that the music is floating (thanks to the violins, I guess) and this make the composition very pleasant to the ear. 

I have to add that I don't remember this film. Really... I have seen it a many years ago, but of course you can listening a soundtrack without knowing a film! For me a film and a soundtrack aren't inseparable. The soundtracks should "live their own life" and be juge regardless of the films, because sometimes it happens that a bad film has a beautiful score. 

I hope you enjoy this composition! Please, tell me what is your favourite soundtrack, I'm very curious about that :)

Greetings,

EXILE

Hello everyone!

I would like to invite you to my world full of good music which is indispensable part of my life. I listen to music every day, in every free moment. It gives me a lot of happiness, respite and power, so I would like to share my passion with you!

The first song which a want to show you is the song called Sombody to die for of the British band Hurts, that (I suppose) most of you already knows. You can find this song on their second album called Exile.

In my opinion this is a very good composition full of emotions because this song talk about a desire to love and be loved. On the video clip you can also notice a lot of religious symbols like the cross which makes us think about the suffering and the sucrifice as well. That's way in this song the duet Hurts sings about love which can overcome the death. However, I must admit that, for me the music is more important than lyrics! That's why I listen to a lot of soundtracks and classic music. I appreciate very much the music for this song, because we can notice almost every instrument like piano, guitar or drum. I don't like the electric sounds so I'm glad we have here the pure music.
I hope you will enjoy this song and the next time I would like to show you something more classic and maybe more... sophisticated? :)
Let me know if you like this band or no (and why!)

Greetings,
Kornelia
