The Star-Spangled Banner
"The Star-Spangled Banner" is the national anthem of the United States. The lyrics come from the "Defence of Fort M'Henry", a poem written on September 14, 1814, by 35-year-old lawyer and amateur poet Francis Scott Key after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry by British ships of the Royal Navy in Outer Baltimore Harbor in the Patapsco River during the Battle of Baltimore in the War of 1812. Key was inspired by the large U.S. flag, with 15 stars and 15 stripes, known as the Star-Spangled Banner, flying triumphantly above the fort during the U.S. victory. The poem was set to the tune of a popular British song written by John Stafford Smith for the Anacreontic Society, a men's social club in London. "To Anacreon in Heaven" (or "The Anacreontic Song"), with various lyrics, was already popular in the United States. This setting, renamed "The Star-Spangled Banner", soon became a well-known U.S. patriotic song. With a range of 19 semitones, it is known for being very diffi ...

Home Of The Brave (soundtrack)
''Home of the Brave'' is the third studio album and first soundtrack album by avant-garde artist Laurie Anderson, released in 1986 by Warner Bros. Records. The album is a soundtrack of her concert film of the same name. Three of the eight tracks on the album were recorded in the studio and thus differ considerably from the filmed versions. A music video for "Language Is a Virus" was produced, using the soundtrack studio recording but footage of the live performance. Two songs on the album were remakes of earlier works: "Language Is a Virus" was originally titled "Language is a virus from outer space - William S. Burroughs" and was performed on Anderson's earlier ''United States Live'' (the soundtrack album omits the song's spoken word introduction, "Difficult Listening Hour", which had appeared on ''United States Live'' and which was also performed in the film). "Sharkey's Night" is a song from Anderson's previous album, ''Mister Heartbreak''. However this rendition is performed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
This Is The Home Of The Brave
"This Is the Home of the Brave" ( ps, دا د باتورانو کور, translit=Dā də bātorāno kor) is a Pashto-language nasheed and the national anthem of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (de facto). It is an a cappella song, meaning that it does not contain musical instruments, as instruments are considered haram (religiously prohibited or outlawed) by many Islamic scholars in Afghanistan. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (Afghanistan under the rule of the Taliban) had formal laws specifying its flag and emblem, however no anthem was specified. This nasheed was commonly used in the opening credits of the broadcasts by Da Shariat Zhagh ("Voice of Sharia"), the Taliban's official radio station, since the late 1990s, when the group controlled most of the Afghanistan territory, as well as in the videos published by the Taliban's Commission of Cultural Affairs. It was also used during official ceremonies; for example, in 2013, when the Islamic Emirate opened its political ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The album features guest appearances from the Balanescu Quartet, The London Community Gospel Choir and Dr. John.

Legendary Hearts
''Legendary Hearts'' is the twelfth solo studio album by American rock musician Lou Reed, released in March 1983 by RCA Records. Reed self-produced the album, and dedicated it to his then-wife, Sylvia, who was credited with the cover concept. Due to tensions with Reed, most of Robert Quine's guitar parts were mixed down or removed entirely. ''Legendary Hearts'' peaked at No. 159 on the U.S. ''Billboard'' 200 chart. Recording Robert Quine later said of his work with Reed, "The atmosphere was really uptight – it's impossible to be friends with him. When I got the final mix, I was really freaked out. He pretty much mixed me off the record. I was in Ohio and took it out in the driveway and smashed the tape into pieces... I have cassettes of the rough mix of the record and it was a really good record but he made it all muddy and murky." Critical reception Upon release, ''Legendary Hearts'' received favorable reviews from music critics. Writing for '' The Village Voice'', music j ...

Black 47
Black 47 was an American Celtic rock band from New York City, formed in 1989 by Larry Kirwan and Chris Byrne, and derives its name from a traditional term for the summer of 1847, the worst year of the Great Famine in Ireland. History Beginnings Kirwan originally arrived in New York City from Wexford aged 19, and played in a succession of bands before teaming with Byrne, a Brooklyn policeman, in 1989. The combination of Kirwan's electric guitar and Byrne's use of traditional Irish instruments initially received a poor reception, but a year later, with the addition of new members Geoff Blythe (founding member of Dexy's Midnight Runners), Fred Parcells and Thomas Hamlin, they were playing regularly at Paddy Reilly's bar on Manhattan's East Side. The band began to play three to five nights a week, and garnered praise for both the socio-political lyrics and "off-the-wall" live shows, quickly drawing a fan base from both the political left and right. Kirwan stated in an interview ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
