"First rule of magic: Always be the smartest furry in the room."
Soooo.... bin Laden's dead. I have nothing really there to say because of so many other things, but I suppose it's a good thing.
This is Sean Skyhawk's fourth week of Song of the Week and I've decided to make it a double feature! I had forgotten about this and I only came up with the song just now
"No Surprise" by Chris Daughtry off of his 2009 album Leave this Town
"No Surprise" is the first single from Daughtry's second album Leave This Town. The band first performed the song live on American Idol on Wednesday, May 6, 2009, and later began streaming "No Surprise", on their official website, on the evening of May 6, 2009. The song was made available on iTunes May 5, and was officially sent for adds at Mainstream Top 40 radio on May 26, 2009.
As for "Whataya Want from Me," I first heard this song over the radio (several times on that channel in fact) and only recently did I finally decide to download this from beemp3 and put it on my iPod. This song actually is a rock song this time and is even more melodious than the Adam Lambert song; I'll leave it there.
Here's the official music video for it (for lack of anything else)
The video begins with a guy trying to sign up for a mining job, but fails. Meanwhile a girl works at a diner and accidentally spills soda on a female customer when a guy behind accidentally bumps into her. Her boss starts yelling at her and fires her; she can then be seen walking out of the diner and throwing her apron to the ground.
The next camera shot is at the couple's home, their neighbor is leaving for a musical gig. Both argue about their foreclosure of their home. The final segment begins the next morning when the man wakes up and leaves. The girl wakes up and is unable to find him. The video concludes with the girl looking around town (alternating shots between the band and her running through town and bumping into a guy) then, finally, sitting down on the ground, leaning against a big rock wondering what will happen next and the camera pans out and the viewer can see that the couple are sitting on opposite sides of the large boulder, while in the video Chris and his band performs at the mining area. The video was directed by Nathan Cox.
"528491" by Hans Zimmer, off of the Inception soundtrack
This was actually my favorite when I first heard the song, though it was soon supplanted by "Mombasa" which actually immediately succeeds it in the soundtrack. Dang, why do all the songs I choose have so much emotion in it? This song played when Fischer Jr. finally reached the inside of the vault and spoke with the projection of his father for the last time. I nearly cried when he used the combination of the safe (5-2-8-4-9-1) to find the last will and ... the pinwheel shown in Fischer's photograph only for Fischer Sr. to die moments later.
The song emphasizes finality, catharsis, and climax with the parts leading up to the end crescendoing to its conclusion, followed by a variation of the iconic Inception Horn. Because of this, I will be using this as the penultimate song in the Furception soundtrack.
This is the scene I mentioned. You might not want to see this if you haven't watched Inception because it contains heavy spoilers for the movie. But it's your choice.
See you next week!
