TASK 2

I will be singing lead in this song and singing it in its original key. However I will add more of my style in terms of the riffs that will be sung,  but I feel quite confident within this song so I feel like I should really give it my all,  that being said if I am going to give my very best performance I would need to practice regularly by doing warm ups with my voice and even accompany myself with a keyboard, if so this should surely leave my ready for the gig.


Also I feel like stage presence plays a very important role in the song I see it as telling a story whiles you will use your arms as a demonstration towards the audience , this shows how the level of interaction and communication will have them hooked to the song.

Lyrics

Girl, I'm in love with you
This ain't the honeymoon
Passed the infatuation phase
Right in the thick of love
At times we get sick of love
Seems like we argue everyday

I know I misbehaved and you made your mistakes
And we both still got room left to grow
And though love sometimes hurts
I still put you first
And we'll make this thing work but I think maybe we should take it slow

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
'Cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow
Take it slow, ohh
This time we'll take it slow
Take it slow, ohh
This time we'll take it slow

This ain't a movie love
No fairytale conclusion y'all
It gets more confusing everyday
Sometimes it's heaven sent
Then we head back to hell again
We kiss then we make up on the way

I hang up, you call
We rise and we fall
And we feel like just walking away
As our love advances we take second chances
Though it's not a fantasy I still want you to stay

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
'Cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow
Take it slow, ohh
This time we'll take it slow
Take it slow, ohh
This time we'll take it slow

Take it slow
Maybe we'll live and learn
Maybe we'll crash and burn
Maybe you'll stay, maybe you'll leave
maybe you'll return
Maybe another fight
Maybe we won't survive
But maybe we'll grow
We never know Maybe you and I

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
'Cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
'Cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow

Take it slow, ohh
This time we'll take it slow
Take it slow, ohh
This time we'll take it slow
Take it slow, slow
This time we'll take it slow
Take it slow, ohh
This time we'll take it slow

In happy I will be assisted by the band whilst I will be singing lead vocal and I will be kindly assisted by the Bv's of Kenia & Sifa  as they play a vital part in the song so this will help drive the song and keep it upbeat.

However as its such a upbeat song it must have energy and in doing so we must be able to keep the same tempo so we need to ensure we keep to are regular practice schedule. We have made sure that in order to keep the consistency of the work and keep everyone informed a Whatsapp group was a good idea ,anther performance element is that we need to have movement as well to show that we as a band are enjoying the music when presenting to an audience.  

It might seem crazy what I am about to say
Sunshine she's here, you can take a break
I'm a hot air balloon that could go to space
With the air, like I don't care, baby, by the way

(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

Here come bad news, talking this and that (Yeah!)
Well, give me all you got, don't hold it back (Yeah!)
Well, I should probably warn ya, I'll be just fine (Yeah!)
No offense to you, don’t waste your time
Here's why...

(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

(Happy)
Bring me down… can't nothing…
(Happy)
Bring me down… my love is too high…
(Happy)
Bring me down… can't nothing…
(Happy)
Bring me down, I said

(Happy, happy, happy, happy)
Bring me down…can't nothing…
(Happy, happy, happy, happy)
Bring me down… my love is too high…
(Happy, happy, happy, happy)
Bring me down… can't nothing…
(Happy, happy, happy, happy)
Bring me down, I said

(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
(Because I'm happy)
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

VOTE LABOUR

Through out this performance I can say it was not easy bringing this performance together but it happed.

We had also drawn up pictures of the leaflets that could pertencally be our main leaflet that had the most presentable look and would have someone viewing an emedet attraction towards it, this will cause more  people to attend are performance and make sure are messeg of getting people to "VOTE FOR LABOUR" gets across very well. 

DESIGN OF PRACTICE LEAFLET

The lyrics that was made was created with the whole band however it was found quite difficult coming up with it so we made a sketch on the board of what rhymed with the word and how we could put our message across too but slowly day by day we finally got our work done and had the full lyrics printed we continued to follow through with our band rehearsals.

EVALUATION

As this unit has now come to an end I look at how I have grown in my knowledge1 on how the performance and rehearsal have taken place in both good ways and bad.

for my group to really get where we wanted to I can not say it was easy but we managed to get there through hard work this was done by coming to rehearsals on time and deeply looking into what had to be done and changed these shows are dedication.

The things we specific did to get our peace was done some research on other artists that we know that we cold either sample some of their rhythms and make it part of our tune, however, this was harder than expected for everyone had all different types of music and different artists, one of the songs was loving you by Minnie Riperton everyone was shocked to why I picked this but in my mind there is so much you can do with one song by slowing it down, speeding it up, even an acoustic version, all these things were thought about, however it was fountoohard for other, so we diced to start of from scratch.

I started of by playing random notes just to find something that sounded nice and natural and the by my luck I started playing the notes C,D,E, F and after playing it over again and agin everyone agreed that this should be are melody, /into or even course. After playing this tune the band started looking at things they could be adding in to make a well played song that will go well with the video that was given to us.

My contribution to the performance I would say was very effective for it was partly the main melody, and in a performance the audience will be the ones to recognise and remember that however to be by the drummer base and guitar, it really brought it together, not so much that everyone would be on their feet but something quite laid back.

Although I had a wonderful experience with the performance their is always room for improvements such as the tempo the band was going, not to say it was bad because we stayed in time and kept a steady pace, but I noticed it was quite slow, and this may of made the peace more less boring so if we had let the tempo up a little then it would be fine.

CHARLIE HEBDO

• What is Charlie Hebdo and what is it about? Its an magazine that don't hind from the truth of the world just because it can hurt someones feelings. 

• Who is claiming responsibility for the shootings?0s

• Why did they attack? Because they took affiance towards the article about profit Mohammed and the said it was . 

• What was it about Charlie Hebdo that caused such offence? So a vase amount of Muslims took offence however others took it as racist but it was argued not to be.

• How does Salman Rushdie feel about it? Salman feels that have the freedom to speak what you want is right because if so it is not freedom, sometimes the truth hurts. 

• What did George Galloway say about it? He was against Charlie Hebdo for he felt that the article provocked the the people to get to that angry. 

• Do you think the incident broke Freedom of Expression laws? I believe that it did because this may make others feel like they can never truly express how the feel or if they want to put a point across.

• Do you think the shootings were an act of terrorism or protest? I believe there are many ways to protest however from my point of view it was an act of violence and even tho maybe to them they was trying to put there point across but that is not a way to do so by even taking lives.

• What do YOU think about the whole situation? I feel like that with everything that was going on and that lives were lost in this situation so its very hard to even voice your opinion without hurting someones feelings and thats what the whole point was about Charlie Hebdo how he voiced his opinion and it got the wrong side of others, in all this its not really voicing your feelings and opinion just because others may take effence. 

Everyday sexism

In today's lesson, we looked a video about how it would be like if men were women and it was very eye opening.

• How did this make you feel as a man: As a man, this opened my eyes to what possibly goes on in a woman's everyday life and this created the sense of sympathy for them, this may also change a man's way of thinking on how he may value a woman.

• It can be said that we live in a patriarchal society, one that is ruled by men rather than being equal. What do you think would happen if we lived in a matriarchy? 

In my opinion, I feel like man or women things like this should not happen to anyone and that we should have equal rights as man and women this should come udder pay, food, and other things.  

• Do you find what happens to the man in this film shocking? What difference does it make that it's a man? 

I feel that society has made others think it's nothing of this to look into and how to others this may have seemed like a joke but the reality of this question is that no one should have to go through such thing in life whether man or woman coz the fact is this can happen to anyone.



How effective do you think this film is a protest? How else could you protest about the lack of equal gender rights?  I genially believe it is more than effective for it was something that has never been done before and may some sort of revelation towards men and woman 


Which of these songs do you think are effective and why?

ABLTON LIVE

In todays lesson we used ablton live ,were I looked at a number of beats and sounds in one of racks I was able to record in my own voice and put an loop in them along with a heavy funk beats and simply listened to it and find any defaults so i can make changes.
