....... "Human" ~ Skye Sweetnam .......

The following music video is "Human" from Skye Sweetnam's latest album "Sound Soldier". The following article was in the Calgary Sun today (November 22nd, 2007), which gave some information about Skye.

Here are the lyrics to the following song:

"HUMAN"

You know what Simon Says
He tells you what to do
What if he told you to
Take off all your clothes
And dance in your birthday suit

Sure it's the latest craze
We all get influenced
The little secret they don't
Want you to know no no

We're only human
Seperated by our thoughts
So hang on to them
Or you'll find you might get caught
Caught up in the

Hey Monkey See and Monkey Do
Must they get brainwashed
By what's surrounding you
Didn't you know that
Every little thing's contagious
Oh yes every little thing's contagious

It's when you watch TV
In everything you see
The virus seeping through
And you start to want
What they tell you you should want

It's in the air you breathe
It's hidden up their sleeves
They're even marketing
What I say right now
Watch out!

We're only human
Seperated by our thoughts
So hang on to them
Or you'll find you might get caught
Caught up in the

Hey Monkey See and Monkey Do
Must they get brainwashed
By what's surrounding you
Didn't you know that
Every little thing's contagious
Oh yes every little thing's contagious

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
We're only human separated
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
We're only human separated
Only human separated

Caught up in the

Hey Monkey See and Monkey Do
Must they get brainwashed
By what's surrounding you
Didn't you know that
Every little thing's contagious
Oh yes every little thing's contagious

Hey Monkey See and Monkey Do
Must they get brainwashed
By what's surrounding you
Didn't you know that
Every little thing's contagious
Oh yes every little thing's contagious

Okay so I gotta admit, that music video weirded me out… A LOT! But, none-the-less, it does make a lot of sense! I mean, look at the way people are acting nowadays… It seems like no one really sticks to any morals… And, let’s not leave out the wonderful role models in our world… I don’t mean to list out only girls, but at the moment I can only think of a list of their names… But, the wonderful role models include Jessica Simpson, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, the Olsen twins, and of course, Britney Spears. When did the degredation of oneself become the status quo? With these type of people, being models to the kids growing up today, it’s no wonder so many morals are being broken, broken to the point that it seems to becoming the norm in life. Life in itself is becoming one heck of a social drama show! Stop following what the tv, the media, is telling you to do!

....... "Slow Me Down" ~ Emmy Rossum .......

Well, this is just the first track, and first video made by Emmy Rossum. (Click on the picture to be redirected)...
Emmy's album "Inside Out" was released on October 23rd, 2007, whereas the CD itself was released on October 30th, 2007.

One of the members of Emmy Rossum's official site asked:

"The vocals for Slow Me Down are hauntingly beautiful. How long did it take for you to record all of the vocal tracks for the song?"

Emmy's response:

"It took about 3 days of singing as its over 100 tracks of only my voice. There is no synth or voice duplicating software used to create the sound. We did it entirely organically, using many vocal layers and harmonies to create the texture. It was important to me that the "sound" we created be "real" and not computer generated and that it supported the story and feeling behind the lyrics - the rush and pace of the world and the need to find love."

This is the comment I left on Emmy's site for her "Slow Me Down" video, found in the Audio & Video section.

Spoken In A Calm Voice...
Simply stunning... Just lost for words that the video, and song deserves. It was truly artistic, perfect camera angles and lighting; Gorgeous, breath-taking, cinematic, wonderful. You song was meaningful, calming; Serene to hear it and reflect since our world is becoming more and more fast-paced. Thoroughly enjoyed Emmy. Can't wait to hear more!
