Happy Monday!
One more…song?
The 2015 Steve Jobs movie, featuring Michael Fassbender (who actually didn’t look like the title character) is the latest cinematic treatment of the Apple co-founder who changed the way we perceive and anticipate technology.
In fact, this movie is almost ready to earn a permanent spot on our movie shelf (February 16th, to be exact).
After watching the past few movies about Mr. Jobs, the preeminent film still hasn’t arrived and, quite possibly, may never arrive at a theater near you. Fully capturing this tech icon’s life and career into a script as innovative and compelling as his products has proven an allusive task.
But what about a song?
The Maccabees did not write “Grew Up at Midnight” for Steve Jobs, but composer Daniel Pemberton (2015’s Steve Jobs movie) recognized how this song with a smashing crescendo paints the scene of a grand legacy coming into focus. And it was all sparked from an imaginatively ambitious youth.
The song was a perfect fit for the film.
This song is also a perfect fit for those who recognize the value in biting into an apple at midnight.
Have an Insanely Great Week!
Happy Monday!
RIP David Bowie.
The musician passed away Sunday after battling cancer. Reports have indicated that he was surrounded by family and friends. Even at 69 years of age, many thought he was entering the next phase of his musical career. “Blackstar” (released just a few days ago) introduced fans to a jazz-infused musical journey with the singer.
His death was a shock to his fans and casual listeners alike.
David Bowie’s legacy will live on, however. The pop culture icon’s work extends well beyond his stage and influenced other entertainment circles.
Have a Great Adventure into the Unknown!
Harmonizing a Kaleidoscopic Future
Coldplay’s future is…
“A Head Full of Dreams” was released today for the world to hear and experience. Unlike their previous album “Ghost Stories” (with the exception of one song), Chris Martin and Co. have returned with mostly upbeat, dancing tempos, imaginatively playful lyrics and a positive feeling of being happy no matter what life throws at us.
As Coldplay would say, it’s about finding and hanging onto our everglow.
Now, Chris Martin said that this album could be the band’s last musical journey during an interview several months ago.
Like the highly-lauded and extensive Harry Potter series, is this the end for Coldplay?
Well, the last song on the record is called, “Up&Up.”
