Ticket To Ride (song)
"Ticket to Ride" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles, written primarily by John Lennon and credited to Lennon–McCartney. Issued as a single in April 1965, it became the Beatles' seventh consecutive number 1 hit in the United Kingdom and their third consecutive number 1 hit (and eighth in total) in the United States, and similarly topped national charts in Canada, Australia and Ireland. The song was included on their 1965 album ''Help!'' Recorded at EMI Studios in London in February that year, the track marked a progression in the Beatles' work through the incorporation of drone and harder-sounding instrumentation relative to their previous releases. Among music critics, Ian MacDonald describes the song as "psychologically deeper than anything the Beatles had recorded before" and "extraordinary for its time". "Ticket to Ride" appears in a sequence in the Beatles' second feature film, ''Help!'', directed by Richard Lester. Live performances by the band were include ...

Ticket To Ride (video Game)
''Ticket to Ride'' is a turn-based strategy video game, based upon Alan R. Moon's German-style board game of the same name, developed by Next Level Games and published by Playful Entertainment, Inc. The game started out as a browser game on November 15, 2004. In February 2017 Days of Wonder abandoned Linux support, although Xbox still seems to support the game having crossed it over to the Xbox One & Xbox X. Gameplay Gameplay is identical to the board game: there are two types of cards, colored train cars representing a type of cargo (e.g., black represents coal cars), and destination cards which feature two city destinations (e.g., Chicago to Miami). Each player is dealt three destination cards, and must choose at least two of them. They are also dealt six train cards. Players may draw train cards, a new destination card, or claim a colored route on their turn. To claim a route, a player must pay with a combination of same-colored cards including locomotives which serve as ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Card Game
''Jeu de cartes'' (also known in English as ''A Card Game'', ''Game of Cards'', or ''Card Party'') is a ballet in "three deals" by Igor Stravinsky based on a libretto he co-wrote with Nikita Malayev, a friend of his eldest son Théodore. It was commissioned in November 1935, written late the next year, and premiered by the American Ballet at the old Metropolitan Opera House in New York on 27 April 1937 with the composer conducting. Its European premiere followed on 13 October at the Semperoper in Dresden, where Karl Böhm conducted the Staatskapelle Dresden. The idea of basing the ballet on a game of poker did not occur to Stravinsky until after August 1936, when the story took shape. The main character is the deceitful Joker who fancies himself unbeatable owing to his ability to transform into any card. Structure The ballet's three scenes are referred to as "deals" in the score. It can be further partitioned by its tempo markings: 1. First Deal (''Première donne'') * In ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ticket To Ride (album)
''Ticket to Ride'' is the debut studio album by the American music duo Carpenters. Background The album is far more self-contained than subsequent Carpenters albums; excluding the orchestrations, bass by Joe Osborn and occasional guitar from Gary Sims, most of the instruments were played by Karen and Richard Carpenter themselves—drums and keyboards respectively—and 10 of the 13 songs were written by Richard and his lyricist John Bettis. It also stands out from subsequent Carpenters albums in that the lead vocals are evenly split between the two band members; on later albums, Karen would perform most of the lead vocals and this is one of two albums where Karen provided virtually all of the drumming, the other being '' Now & Then'', released in 1973. Release At the time of the album's initial release in 1969, it was issued under the title ''Offering'', with a different cover photo. It was a commercial failure and produced only one minor hit single, a ballad version of the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Stronger (Sara Evans Album)
''Stronger'' is the sixth studio album by American country music artist Sara Evans. It was released on March 8, 2011, via RCA Records Nashville. Her first since 2005's ''Real Fine Place'', the album came after a divorce from her now ex-husband Craig Schelske. Initially set to be released in 2009, the album was delayed due to the divorce. Evans was heavily involved in the writing for the album, co-writing seven of the eleven tracks. She co-produced the album with Nathan Chapman, Tony Brown, and Marti Frederiksen. " Feels Just Like a Love Song" was originally the lead single from the album, released in August 2009. But after only spending a single week at number 59 on the Hot Country Songs chart, Evans's label, RCA Nashville Records, pulled it from radio and delayed the album; the song was later not included on the record. The album's official lead single, " A Little Bit Stronger", became one of Evans's biggest hits, becoming her first country number one hit since "A Real Fine Pla ...

Ticket To Ride (book)
''Ticket to Ride: Inside the Beatles' 1964 Tour that Changed the World'' is a 2003 memoir by Larry Kane. It accounts his experience as the only American reporter to travel with The Beatles' entourage in their 1964 and 1965 tours of The United States and Canada, at the height of Beatlemania. At the time the offer was given to him, Larry Kane was not himself a Beatles fan, so he wrote from the perspective of a journalist rather than a fan. Kane was recognized by the band to be reliable, likable and professional, and he gained the trust and confidence of each individual. As a direct result of this trust, Kane was given access to areas of The Beatles' psyches which other newsmen were not admitted to. At one point it tells the story of how The Beatles' manager, Brian Epstein Brian Samuel Epstein ( ; 19 September 1934 – 27 August 1967) was an English music entrepreneur who managed the Beatles from 1961 until his death in 1967. Epstein was born into a family of successf ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
