War Child Presents Heroes
''War Child Presents Heroes'' is a 2009 charity album devoted to the War Child charity's aid efforts in war-stricken areas, such as Iraq, Uganda, Afghanistan and the Democratic Republic of Congo. With a theme of "placing faith in the next generation," the concept of the album is to have music legends select a track from their own canon and nominate an artist from the next generation to create a modern reworking of that song. The album was recorded over six months in London, Manchester, Paris, Berlin, New York, and Los Angeles, and mastered at Abbey Road Studios in North London. Previous War Child charity albums include ''The Help Album'' (1995), '' 1 Love'' (2002), ''Hope'' (2003) and '' Help!: A Day in the Life'' (2005).

The Kinks
The Kinks were an English rock band formed in Muswell Hill, north London, in 1963 by brothers Ray and Dave Davies. They are regarded as one of the most influential rock bands of the 1960s. The band emerged during the height of British rhythm and blues and Merseybeat, and were briefly part of the British Invasion of the United States until their touring ban in 1965. Their third single, the Ray Davies-penned "You Really Got Me", became an international hit, topping the charts in the United Kingdom and reaching the Top 10 in the United States. The Kinks' music drew from a wide range of influences, including American R&B and rock and roll initially, and later adopting British music hall, folk, and country. The band gained a reputation for reflecting English culture and lifestyle, fuelled by Ray Davies' wittily observational writing style, and made apparent in albums such as '' Face to Face'' (1966), '' Something Else'' (1967), ''The Village Green Preservation Society'' (1968), ...

Victoria (The Kinks Song)
"Victoria" is a song written by Ray Davies of the Kinks. It is the opening track on the band's 1969 concept album ''Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)''. In Ray Davies' satirical style, the lyrics juxtapose the grim realities of life in Britain during the 19th century (''"Sex was bad, called obscene/And the rich were so mean"'') with the paternalist aspirations of the British Empire in the Victorian age (''"From the West to the East/From the rich to the poor/Victoria loved them all"''), and expresses the simple adulation of queen and country by the downtrodden working class (''"Though I am poor, I am free/When I grow I shall fight/For this land I shall die"''). The production begins with a simple heavy rock electric blues guitar riff, carried through each verse and chorus, while the "Land of hope and gloria" bridge and raucous background vocals from Dave Davies build to an exultant climax of brass. Chart performance In the US, "Victoria" was the lead singl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
