Telltale Pre-production Day 2: Screenplay Finalisation and Music Composition

Following day 1, this is a detailed report of the final day of pre-production of the upcoming short film, ‘Telltale.’

The Rembrandts – I’ll be there for you

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 DOA 

It’s like you’re always stuck in second gear
When it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month, or even your year

but.. 

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’ great 

Your 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, yeah

It’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

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.

Instrumental, unknown. Original Vocal performance by Julio Iglesias and Willie Nelson – To All the Girl I’ve Loved Before

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.
