Blogpost 8:Music in Military and War

When war has come music has many uses to help them to communicate,to command gives,Music gives power that can kill,fear,and makes a man brave, and music them a relaxation in their head and makes the Soldier brave and happy when they are in the Military camps,most of the Soldiers drink and listen to music that helps them relaxed and chill after the battle and it us use when they won the war when they celebrate there is always music and they dance and drink,but for those friends who gt K.I.A of "Killed In Action" they listen to music to comfort them and also with alcoholic beverages that chill their body and minds,If you have experience combat your feeling is fear,hunger,stress more than a Office job,and anger,music helps the Soldier to calm and some of the Military camps have videooke to help them forget what happen. It comes to Music the National Anthem that makes them Patriotic and,Military cadence that makes a Soldier man and A Soldier song that every Armed Forces have.

According to the article from the book entitled A New Approach to the Chronology of Biblical History from AbrahamtoSamuel.by:Dr.Aardsma'schronology fromwww.biblicalchronologist.org.
"So the people shouted, and the priests blew the trumpets; and it came about, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, that the people shouted with a great shout and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight ahead, and they took the city."From biblical times Joshua won the Battle of Jericho by using trumpets with his hundreds or thousands of his mighty Men that destroyed the mighty defense of the enemies.This is how the music is so powerful that can destroy the human mighty fortress and weapon to use.

According to this article entitled The History and Influence of music from:www.mfiles.co.uk by: Jim Paterson.

General Santa Ana wanted to frighten the defenders of the Alamo to surrender of to leave the place he played "El Duguello"  means "throat cutting" to invaders a song that appealed the defenders to surrender or to die by the sword,and if I am not wrong in the movies Alamo in 2004 when I was a child I remember that here is a part in the movies that the Soldiers of Gen.Santa Ana play a song when the war ceased fire.And the Texas defenders named Davy Crockett add a violin,for me it symbolizes that they are not afraid of them and they are willing to defend their camp. 

According to this article entitled The History and Influence of music from:www.mfiles.co.uk by: Jim Paterson.This is A military this is used in the Military to direct the Soldier movement,it serves for communication in the Battlefield i some ancient war because in the past radios and other communicating devices are not yet created so it serves as a past way to communicate they use patterns and chords that they understand I wonder in the war we can hear the loud voices of pain of death,gunshots,shouting,swords clashing,bomb shell falling,and etc. And makes the man in the front line fearless and brave to die for the Motherland,these is used a thousand years ago from the ancient Military,like the Romans,Greeks,Spartans,and many more in the Ancient Civilization,and until The Battle of the Bulge,and War in Vietnam that they use it for attacking the enemy or to charge.

According to this meaning came from Urban dictionary by:Evan Milberg we can know the good meaning from: www.urbandictionary.com

"Whenever a person from the military dies, a group of seven soldiers fire off three shots each. 7 times 3 equals 21, thus the name 21 gun salute."

In Gun salute they use cannons in 14th century ,and or rifle to salute the Military as we can see in the movies and in the news this is for the respect for the Fallen Soldier who died for the Country and for the people who lives in it,like in our country we can see the families are crying especially the wife who are left behind,and his/her child or children are crying in pain,and even the Soldiers who fire the rifle are also in pain because some of them are friends of those soldier who die. Lets say I SALUTE YOU ! 

Blogpost 7: Music in the movies and games,

Music everywhere in the car,coffee shops,restaurants,and everyday we listen to music why? Because with music we are happy ,and relaxed we feel the good mood in our everyday journey and the same also in the Movies ,and games we play we feel the good movie the emotions of the actors the scenes type like in the horror movies there is a slow song and very scary music that makes us afraid and when music is added in the movie and in the games the effect on us is very bid that we can feel that we are in the movies or in the games,when there is music there is life that makes the game and games come to life,that in our hearts we feel what the actor feel,when there is music in the movie and games there is color that makes it we want to watch it again or play it again,with the music we feel inspired and we can feel the beauty of the movie of what we are watching and playing. I know all of us experience this,just think if our life without music we feel lonely,it the same in the movies and games and even in the theater plays it will be boring to watch and the audience will not feel the movie,and our emotions will be nothing.A good movie and games has a good score or a background songs that makes us feel the thrill and the excitement and it  touches our heart and mind. 

According to this article entitled 10 Great (But Unexpected) Uses Of Music In Movies by:Kev Stewart www.imdb.com it explains that.

"Music is, of course, an essential part of any cinematic experience. A good score or soundtrack can make a movie ten times better than it would otherwise be."

If we can recognize in every movie there is music in every scenes  like sad moments the music we can hear some slow songs or a sad song that makes the music more colorful and it makes the audience feel also the same and imagine the situation ,and cry because of the good movie,in every part of the movie there is soundtracks that makes us remember the film ,and makes the story emotions connects to our emotions our facial  expressions makes us sad laugh,feeling the thrill of the movies, and sometimes we feel that we are the main character,and we feel that we are in the movie we feel fear,excitement,sad,in love it depends upon what type of movie that you are watching,and we know that we experience it every movie that we see we feel the same,and this is why soundtracks or score are very important in all movies it gives the movie more colorful and gives us a great feeling and most of all we feel that we are in the movies.And if you could wonder Music is like a Movie there is always a good meaning and lessons that we can learn.

He is Hans Zimmer my idol of creating of score or soundtracks in a movie and as a very big fan I even downloads his scores and when the time I listen to it I remember the movies and I feel the music as my inspiration,he have composed a hundreds of scores and most of them are well known ,and I know some of movies that we watch have his score that makes the movies more powerful that we can feel feel the movies in our heart.This article came from:www.allmusic.com titled Hans Zimmer and the Author Joseph Stevenson

"Hans Zimmer is a German film score composer and music producer, he has a net worth of $90 million. Hans Zimmer has earned his net worth from composing music for over 100 films" Here are some examples:The Lion King, Gladiator,The Dark Knight, Angels & Demons,SherlockHolmes,Inception,Megamind,Rango,Pirates at the Caribbean,Blackhawk down,King Arthur,PearlHarbor,Tears of the Sun,Mission Impossible 2,The Last Sammurai,

;And many more and  even the game of Call of duty modern warfare 2 one of my favorite games that I love the most playing it makes me feel comfortable and relaxed and sometimes I cant even remember what time is it because of the game and the sound effects especially the music that makes it like the movies. 

From the Grammy awards,Billboard albums and and Billboard single he is the best ! And I know most of the movies are very familiar to you. "The Daily Telegraph placed him on their list of "Top 100 living geniuses" He was born in Frankfurt am Main, Germany; Zimmer received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2010.He is one of the best music producer and soundtracks" 

According to his article entitled How Storytelling and Music in the advancement of video games by:JamesCardigan from voices.yahoo.com " When music was being used in video games, it was mainly used to tell the player how to feel or react. Music can heighten the thrill of the action, can make you feel an array of emotions that help you feel the story, and it could consist that of a score or theme song"

As the same as in the movies we feel the same thrill and array our emotions as we can see in the game there are stories;stories that make the game more awesome ,and makes us addicted sometimes because we want to continue the game s my experience in playing Call of duty until Call of duty black ops I get addicted because of the story and the history in the game in Call of duty world at war that hows the History of World war and I feel that I've been back into the past and I feel that I am a soldier that fights for freedom and  I feel great and awesome and I until know I am willing to continue the Call of duty , and of course there is always a score or a background music theme that makes the game come alive or come true ,and enjoyable to play ,and more thrilling experience that we feel.

Blogpost 6:How hiphop change us?

Hip hop music have a great effects in our selves depends on your self,from the fashions,type of speaking,using close cap and using scarf and putting it in the head that makes we look cool,but in some areas in the world we can see many hip hop gangsters that can kill,rob,vandalize,and dangerous or violent that when we are walking in the road if you can see in your way some groups of hi hop,we feel that they are gangsters that might will hurt us get our important things or steal our things and we think that they are some members of robbery and holdup in the news,and in our places when we wear hip hop clothes and we are walking maybe some gangsters think that you are part of the gang that their enemies we feel uncomfortable because of fear that maybe someone might hurt us,and also the same impacts on other persons they will think that you are gangsters and violent and they think that you are not educated person because most of the hip hope persons are gangsters and violent.  

According to this article entitled Music effects on people, and culture by : Glen Chiacchieri from glench that " It seems that music, more than anything else, ties people together and tears them apart. It seems that you can tell a person's taste in music solely by the way they dress or act and  It seems that you can tell a person's taste in music solely by the way they dress or act." 

Yes it is right,it depends upon the music and the type of the listener music can affect our behavior from what lyrics we heard,as a 17 years old,I even enjoy looking and following their fashion because I look different and awesome by wearing hip hop and rock star look it give us appearance that many people will recognize our outfit.And also it give us what identity we have the way we talk and the way we walk that defines us.It discriminates also that black people that is a hip hop person that they are violent like gangsters but they are like that,I know that they are just awesome but because of the people can see that discriminates the people of the way they look.Being also a rock star outfit it makes us awesome and being cool.

According to Abkoobthoj,Hudson,WI entitled The impacts pf rap and hiphop on the American youth from:teenink.com "We teenagers are growing up in a society where media has a great impact on our lives."

It is true that it can change our behavior

and sometimes judge us,the way we look,in hip hop music there is always a explicit lyrics like shit,fuck,damn,bitch,and sex that makes it very violent to the teens that sometimes they hear about and even now we are using these words because of the effects of the hip hop music in our culture,and even in their music videos there are in the bar and drinking smoking and they are related in the drugs and even in the lyrics of the songs there is weeds and many tatoo parts in the body,and even hot girls in the music video that makes the boys aroused that change their behavior,and that are the examples that we can encounter in our everyday life from the hip-hop music.And even in the rappers hand gestures that we sometimes do,it is now very become popular because of influence of hip-hop to us.  

"In a Wall Street Journal article, it describes rap and hip-hop music as “a religion for troubled youth” because of the negative effect of the hip hop that is violence and very violent lyrics that can even cause killings from the gangsters and even stealing possessions like jewelries,cars and houses ,and destroying public and private properties because of the vandalism.

According to this article still the same from the article of Abkoobthoj that "Fashion among youth also comes from rap and hip-hop music. Some males who listen to rap and hip-hop music will tend to wear baggy jeans, called sagging, oversized t-shirts, and a cap." 
Is it cool ? Yes or No well it depends also in your own explanation and type of your fashion that you like ,and also they wear some gold and silver bling blings or jewelries that makes them cool and it signifies them that they are rich because of their outfit it symbolizes also that not only the fat person are the only one who wear big shirts anf because of hiphop they became cool looking.

According to Abkoobthoj,Hudson,WI entitled The impacts pf rap and hiphop on the American youth from:teenink 

"many rap and hip-hop songs, the “N” word is used several times. Slang and ungrammatical sentences are also used. For example, “Imma be, we go party it up, in da hood, wattup, swaggin, ain’t,shitin in da floor etc.” 

It is a bad grammar right ? and if we are used to our grammar will change and affect our brain in speaking and writing Hip hop can create a new language and culture but it is bad,and violent bu for some many it is their expressions that define them.And even in the rappers hand gestures that we sometimes do,it is now very become popular because of influence of hip-hop to us.

Blogpost 5: Music,Media and business?

Artist can also change the way we live,because of how much we idolize them,we prefer to follow their fashion,like wearing shades,jacket,and gloves we feel that we are cool we feel that we are the artist that we idolize, even I do it my Idol is Eminem,and I used to wear hip hop clothes and close cap and bling blings or jewelries like large chains gold and silver,and watches etc, to make me cool and using a scarf to put in my head that ow music artist can change our way of life.Very cool but the bad effects if we follow what bad habits they do like using drugs,having many girls,addicted to alcohol,that's why we must be careful of what we are doing.And most of all music can unite people to change our lives to be brave,and connection to music that can unite humans in the concert we are participating and we all having fun. 

According to this article entitled Why are we so desperate to idolize celebrity? by Strangedazesa i found at strangedazesa.com"Our tendency to confuse our admiration for a person’s talent with our admiration of the actual person means that we give these (mostly undeserving) people the status of Gods.And Is it this wealth we admire, or the talent itself? Is it the level of fame and success we see and admire and want? Or is it something else?''

We all know that we have some idols,from sports,music artist,athlete that we want to be strong like them and so many more,we idolize them because the are rich and famous having comfortable living,like in the mansion with pools and very big backyard that can accommodate a hundreds people for party and any events,and having a big collection of sports car like Ferrari,Ford Mustang,Bugatti,Porsche,and many more that cost about our house or in millions of dollars and pesos.We want to be them so we follow their styles and their unique fashion,and impersonate them like their voices the way they look so that we feel that we are also stars.

Here in the Philippines remember the show in the Abs Cbn The Showtime,here the contestants they impersonate of what they look alike as their idol,it affects us because when we saw their acts we get confused because they look the same and speak the same,very awesome right?

We even laugh and be happy of what we are looking,and also it gives a very good entertainment.And also us personal beings we follow what our idols look like,how they speak,what brands of clothes they wear like the brad of clothes they endorse that when we wear it we feel at the mirror that we are the idols that we follow , and when we go out into our home people can tell example: hey! you look like Robin Padilla in your jacket and we also fell like we are very cool and different.

When we Idolize,we want some things that symbolizes them like t shirts,stickers,posters we want to buy it because we love them,and when we have it,we feel awesome and good, even the people who saw what you are wearing will said where did you but that clothes it looks very beautiful and that's my idol band too like this AC/DC shirt if we are a very huge fan of this band you will buy this shirt , and it is very good in the business to become more profitable.We can find this in the concert,booths and many brands that can made a good quality of shirt.

According to this article that Ive read entitled Advertising Comercials by Todd Brabec, Jeff Brabec from www.ascap.com '"That the fees paid by advertising agencies and their clients for commercials can be substantial (from $125,000 to more than $1,000,000 per year for successful songs)," What a big money that why most of artist are rich and famous,we wonder if we are in their position every where we go there is fans,signing of authographs and the girls are chasing us,but the bad thing is we dont have any privacy in our private life,because everywhere there is media.

What a big amount of money,imagine if you convert this to the peso currency well,it said it depends also if the advertising is for the TV,internet,radio and even in the politics they used popular music and they change the lyrics but the same tone for the people to be entertain,and also to persuade,look the picture above the Shake up Christmas by Train if you could remember it is a Coca cola product,I remember it when in December they are playing that song.And did you know that Coca Cola company is the top 3 brands in the world in year 2013 fromwww.interbrand.com

Blogpost 4: Music as Inspiration and Energy

Music is our food of our soul that makes us happy and sad, even changes our mood but most of all music is inspiration we are getting happy that leads to energy,when we hear some love songs we feel in love in we feel that we need love and sometimes imagine on our bed and hug our pillows while imagining our crushes or our love ones and we sometimes leap sing and our emotions are very happy and we are smiling because of love that we feel,When we exercise in the gym there is always a heavy metallic rock music that can helps us to be aggressive , and we feel energetic because rock music can helps us to be angry,brave,no fear and many more it depends upon your experience of it.In our experience we can tell how music helps us and makes us feel something that change our emotions and change our daily mood helps us when we are down and makes us happy.

According to this book entitled Listen Music While Working: Benefits And Inspirational Songs by  Sheena Cavazos I found at www.1stwebdesigner.com "Anything we do is set by mood. What better way is there to set a mood other than music? When working on a design, we want to get into a groove or a melody of our emotion on that time."

It explains that music genre can make you in the right mood and in this article It has been proven for many years ,and is a fact, that music can stimulate creativity.The right music will get your blood pumping,changes our emotional self and your brain working.And of course it depend upon what kind of music you are playing like happy songs,like I'm yours,Don't Worry be happy by Bob Marley.In hip-hop dance that makes us energetic to be more happy and comfortable. 

Military cadence:It is a chant that using by Military personnel while running or marching;a jody call balance,rhythmic flow song of Military when they are going to morning exercise like jogging, Squatras and many more,it is a rhythmic flow like a prayer there is a leader and a member but they are shouting and,some cadence can be heard in the Military training.To keep them awake in their training and to make them strong and brave and enjoy what they are doing and to keep them doing what they are doing.   

In his fights in boxing we always hear the " Eye of the tiger" by  Survivor that makes the athlete more stronger and braver to face his/her opponents,and also symbolize his song signature,by that we can identify who is entering the ring, not only in boxing buteven in the WWE there is always a entrance song for they to be awesome and identify when the are going to enter the ring depends on their song.When we hear some rocks song we feel that we are fearless that we can do anything and making us inspired.

When we are going to sing our National Anthem we feel LOVE for our MOTHERLAND,we feel Proud and strong and the best part in our National Anthem is  ' Ng mamatay ng dahil sayo ' that makes me brave and willingness to serve my country and even to die for defending it. It is also related in every school Alma Mater that when we sing,we feel also the same,being proud.Imagine that we became a champion in the UAAP and we are singing our Alma mater in the in the Sm Moa stadium and in the front of our opponent schools,we are very Proud and very happy and sometimes cry in Joy.
