T-kun Unusual Wordsmith III

Hello and welcome to another out of the norm blog, this time it is the holidays and what better way in showcasing the holiday than some movies about this coming holidays. In this case this be broken in three parts, so there will this list and two other parts, why in so of this. For there are three styles of holiday movies types: theatrical, made-for-television/direct-to-video, and films relating to Christmas. Read the rest of this entry →

One of who I have known the longest being here,
but know so little about.

Leading into the strange of what goes through people’s minds,
are mind bobbling at times,
even if they ask what is the last thing you downloaded on your computer?
I could say in the silly and kindest of words;
ha-ha-ha,
not all ears need to hear that.
And that my friend,
is all you are getting out of me.

In wonders why would anyone ask this,
you guess is always welcome when words like this;
of the last time you swam in a pool?
Keep in this of about a year ago,
after things went to hell,
and such other things,
that are just as that is dulling to the ears.

Comes for a common question would be the type of music you like most?
In simple,
it ranges,
but what goes well to listen,
I’ll give it a chance that doesn’t dismay what music is reason to do.

Yet,
into say the question changes only a tad,
for as in the type of music you dislike most?
The answer is simple just as the one before its discord twin,
as if the music wishes in bring many,
many negative thoughts to end it that would;
make it a missed song to listen into,
no matter how others will try to lure one back,
to liking as them.

Could one say it is almost abusing a question when now saying if,
on if so,
to ask;
are you listening to music right now?
Really,
that should never be asked,
for when I am not listen to music,
it’s got to be some part of my life some way,
or another.

To stray away now,
I would find it best,
but the next words to say,
feel only the strange would ask,
when they ask,
what color is your bedroom carpet is?
In kindness,
I’ll answer it,
if it means to drop a weird matter of it,
for it is brown,
just like the rest of the house,
besides the walls as they are white with mix splashes,
so in simple and it goes,
well with the random colors of the room.

This person would ask this,
may want to be a home designer come in words to be this,
if you could change something about your home,
without worry about expense or mess,
what would you do?
And in humor,
can’t help but respond to it,
with these following words; make a better man-cave,
for the sake of comfort has taken a turn,
and needs to be fixed.
Quickly so!

If a stalker would ask this,
I simple run . . .
to a friend it’s a different matter,
for what was the last thing you bought?
Yet to a stalker or a friend,
it was the one that keeps me from being a chatter-box,
so to that,
I refuse to say.

A peculiarly of a question this one was,
for have you ever ridden on a motorbike?
Why yes,
indeed I have . . .
and never again might I add!

Taps of a keyboard filled the room. Peaceful the strums were to walls, and a calm static of music played through stifle headphones. Eyes tired from lack of sleep, red lined the iris, that just dimmed arouse peak. Read the rest of this entry →

He lay in waiting with poignant thoughts racing. Watching from afar, even in breathes bumping his chest alive as the minutes ticked by. Lack the need of sleep bothered him nothing of the hushes of words above him. Read the rest of this entry →

Hello and welcome to an out of the norm blog. Hitlist style! Yep, my Secret Santa was Chilton and for an instant, in a stout moment of a panic not knowing what to do . . . found something I could achieve for him as a gift. Now in his saying, “he loves to hate songs” . . . nope, couldn’t do that.

So in this Hitlist, is about a song that was okay and not all that bad. With that said, this mini review is about River by Robert Downey Jr. and not the one from Joni Mitchell, out of the two, I like his a little bit more. And for anyone who didn’t know, yeah he can sing. Alleged as a Bruce Springsteen and Sting toss in a blender, as some people like to tranquilly call it . . . with that, let’s get this going.

The Review:

This little Christmas melody is good. Sad, but good; how the piano starts in, followed by a subtlety soft bass of a violin doing higher notes and cello doing the lower tones, mostly to fill in space the piano couldn’t do in the require harmony. They all work very well together in really giving the emotion of sadness of mistakes that, from how the song goes, before it and it is telling the story of the aftermath of it.

The full story of this song is starting when everyone is getting into the spirit of Christmas, setting the tone of it all as jolly and cheerful. Much as other song does when setting up for what the merry season will bring;

It’s coming on Christmas

they’re cutting down trees

they’re putting up reindeer

and singing songs of joy and peace

As it plays on, RDJ sings anew verb to it, changing the tone quickly, he does give all the feeling into short words, that are very believable and heartfelt, as he’s sorry for what he is and done. Wanting as the most of the title implies take his problems to the river;

Then I’m going to quit this crazy scene

Oh I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

The reasons of why, doesn’t come near, until the near-end bridge of the song;

I’m so hard to handle

I’m selfish and I’m sad

Now I’ve gone and lost the best baby

That I ever had

 It’s around there in the song; it slows down, letting the main reflect everything, picking up later on, with a duet voice coming to sing along. It would be one the few small glares this song has. The duet female voice isn’t bad, but it happens so quickly and gone just like that, the suddenness of it roughs the flow a bit, but sadly the chance of knowing it plays, is hard to tell where the bit of duet comes from, even the short time it was on the show:  Ally Mcbeal, episode Tis the Season, only played the start of the song, so I am at a lost there to the duet minor role.

Mini Video

Which, stating now, never saw the show, but for what the video holds, it is rather touching. Short as it is but is not an AMV. So I am taking that into account. And does a good task enough, into giving a hint of what this song could be, before hearing as a whole. It’s just a really good hook and the following of it, really does add up more to it.

Compare and Contrast:

        

Joni’s Song vs. Robert’s Song

Just going to point the sliver, rainbow dotted flying turtle in the room, before anyone says something out of context.

River is a good song; even the changes that were made for each singer, Robert and Joni do a fair enough job of making the song their own. The stories are nowhere close in the emotion grip, the settles of what brought them to where they are, is similar, but not mirrored.

The most minor different people will likely be able to hear right away, is the object source of it all. Yeah, stretching a bit there, but it’s all fair really. Robert’s views of love: Joni’s sights of life. One views the song a smaller scale as the other on a larger one.

The melody at the start of each it, is vastly different, opening verses are, yes, the same, but the bridge for both become their own after that. Again, it is just a tender song to listen, when maybe the holiday seasons might be on the dejected side of things.

Final Thoughts:

I, even for how much I like it, wouldn’t even dare, make others to choose Robert’s out the two, for people may lean on Joni’s style a bit more. In short of this, again, I find this song enjoyable enough to give it an okay view of it. If I happen to hear it somewhere, I’m not going out of my way to get away from it, but playing too many times, for whatever which one might be your taste, will lose all meaning of it and likely be just white noise . . . no one wants that.

Robert’s song gets a 4 out 5 stars.

Joni’s song gets 3 out of 5 stars.

With that said, happy holidays Chilton and everyone else, many thanks to Jarvisrama99 for the title card, dude you rock. Everything in use belongs to their rightful owners. And to that, see you all next time!

I’m not sure of the meaning of where this will go,
but in thinking we have someone who,
feels like a James Bond at times,
makes things a little more fun.

This is a dabble of a thought of a famous old tale about Hades and Persephone. Told in by the latter of this fable after everything has happen. Your take on this may differ from mine, but that’s where the fun of it comes for it. With that, enjoy the read.
