Halloween *0*

Do you know what day is the next Friday? The night of the monsters, the ghosts, the witches, the fear... It's HALLOWEEN! It's that night of the year, when you can get out the streets and be what you want to be. But... where does this famous festivity come from? The legend explains that is a very old Celtic tradition. The 31st October, the line between death and life got thinner. So the people who died, came back to the Earth and spent a few hours with their families. It's so scaring, because all this happened in the cemeteries! 

Another thing! Do you know what "Halloween" means? It's "All Hallow's even".

I would like to know if you are doing something this Friday, and I'd like you to explain us your plan;)

Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus was born in Tennessee in 1992. She is a pop singer and an actres en she became famous because of her paper in Hannah Montana. But now she doesen`t work for Disney Channel. Since 2010 she has changed her ways. She cut her hair and she wears the clothes she wants to. Her songs have changed a lot: now she writes about her business and her songs are a little bit wild. For example: the most known song of her is about how she goes to parties and gets drunk. Her actual tour is called Bangerz and in it she appears in short clothes and riding a big hot dog  (YEAH! that's so weird!)

Maybe you know who is her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, because he wrote a very famous song called “Achy Breaky Heart", that is even heard now.

A lot of people thinks Miley is a bad example for the teenagers, but that's not really true. Her songs are about life's problems (including love, the family...) ans how she gets through them. So try and listen to her.

So weird D:

Antony and the Johnsons

Montse, our teacher, said we could talk about a group called "Antony and the Johnsons" and here's my opinion:

I didn't know about them so I decided to look for some songs to know how they sing and I found this one called "Hope there's someone" (by the way, I had already heard it but I didn't remember it) and I liked it very much. I mean, I read the lyrics and I felt something, the weird thing is that a tear dropped off my eye and I think it's because I liked the song very much.

So, this group sings art pop and chamber pop and they started singing in 1998. We can describe Antony's voice (the singer) as an angry sea with a lot of waves, because it goes up and down. The other members play different instruments: piano, cello, violin, guitar, the drums...
Their second album, called "I am a bird now" was released in 2005 and they collaborated with the famous Lou Reed and other singers like Boy George.
I wanted to tell you that everybody listens to different music, so maybe you like this group or maybe you don't, but we always must respect all the opinions and all the tastes, so I hope you all do this and have a great day!

Lana Del Rey ♫

Laura (from typesofmusic14.blogspot.com) asked us to talk about Lana del Rey. So, let me start:

She was born as Elizabeth Grant in 1985 in New York and her family was very rich and fine-situated. But she started drinking at the age of 14 and her parents sent her to a rehab hospital. A lot of her songs are based in her problems and they explain how was her life with alcohol in it. Her first famous song is called “Video games” and the video clip was made with a web cam.

She has got many tattoos (‘die young’, ‘M’, ‘trust no one’ and ‘paradise’) and her songs have become very famous all around the world. You may know a film called “Malefica”, so, her song “Once upon a dream” is on its soundtrack.

Here comes my opinion: Lana’s songs are usually the perfect ones to lay on your bed, put on your headphones and do nothing but listen. I love her lyrics and I wanna show you a few ones:

-Heaven is a place on Earth with you (Video Games).

-And when he calls, he calls for me and not for you (Shades of cool).

-You said to be cool, but I’m already coolest (National Anthem).

-Pick me up and take me like a vitamin, ‘cause my body’s sweet like sugar venom, oh yeah (Radio).

Welcome people!

Hello to everybody who has visited our blog! We thank you so much what you are doing because that's what makes us to want to continue with this and to write more and more. We saw people from the United States watching our entries and we are very happy! We really like to comment and to express our opinions about songs and music in general, because we think music is one of the most important things in life. It's what keeps us alive and what teaches us things that we didn't know about ourselves. Music can take us to other places, to meet other people and to feel different things.

When I try not to think about my problems I always listen to music. And music helps me with that. And when I'm alone at home and I need to feel something, I listen to music. Because music is my drug. 

So we would like to know your opinion about what "music" means. You can comment every single entry and answer this question: "What is music for you?". That would make us very happy:'')

Hope you like it and we wish you a happy weekend!!!
