The Rembrandts – I’ll be there for you
The Friends theme song, written by its co-creators Matha Kauffman and David(?) Crane. Performed by The Rembrandts, this is perhaps the best theme music I have ever heard, for any TV show; and its lyrics? Fantastic!
So no one told you life was gonna be this way *clap*clap*clap*clap*
Your job’s a joke, you’re broke, your love life’s DOAIt’s like you’re always stuck in second gear
When it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month, or even your yearbut..
I’ll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I’ll be there for you
Like I’ve been there before
I’ll be there for you
‘Cuz you’re there for me too…You’re still in bed at ten and work began at eight
You’ve burned your breakfast so far… things are goin’ greatYour mother warned you there’d be days like these
Oh but she didn’t tell you when the world has brought
You down to your knees that…I’ll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I’ll be there for you
Like I’ve been there before
I’ll be there for you
‘Cuz you’re there for me too…No one could ever know me
No one could ever see me
Seems you’re the only one who knows
What it’s like to be me
Someone to face the day with
Make it through all the rest with
Someone I’ll always laugh with
Even at my worst I’m best with you, yeahIt’s like you’re always stuck in second gear
When it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month,
or even your year…I’ll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I’ll be there for you
Like I’ve been there before
I’ll be there for you
‘Cuz you’re there for me too…I’ll be there for you
I’ll be there for you
I’ll be there for you
‘Cuz you’re there for me too…
Claude Debussy – Claire de Lune
Claire de Lune, Claude Debussy, Third Movement of Suite Bergamasque.
Somebody once asked me what my ten most favourite pieces of music were. Well, this is number four. However the list itself is subject to changes inasmuch as I have, quite naturally, not listened to every single piece of music every produced on Earth.
Apparently, Debussy took a good 17 years to write this movement alone. Claire de lune, thanks to my French classes, I know means moonlight. The movement is one of four in Suite Bergamasque and is based upon the following lines in a poem by Verlaine, and also contain the word Bergamasques which gave the Suite its title.
Votre âme est un paysage choisi
Que vont charmant masques et bergamasques
Jouant du luth et dansant et quasi
Tristes sous leurs déguisements fantasques.
Without music, life would be a mistake.

Always fun to see if you can create a Bach or Beethoven from this!

This instrumental piece, titled, To all the girl I’ve loved before, ranks as one of my favourite violin compositions. When I first heard to it, I neither knew where/who the song had come from, nor whether it was based on an earlier vocal performance.
It was only recently that I stumbled upon the answer to the second question: while I am still unaware as to who composed or so expertly played the piece on the violin, I found out that the instrumental is based on the song, by the same name, performed by spanish singer, Julio Iglesias and Willie Nelson, for Iglesias’ album 1984, 1100 Bel Air Place, which gave Iglesias his first break in the English market.

The idea was first broached in 1976 by American musician Joel Cohen, then employed by the national French radio station France Musique. Cohen proposed an all-night music celebration at the moment of the summer solstice. The idea was taken up [...]
