Musical Moment: A Knight's Tale Soundtrack

Happy Monday Friends,

I'm back with another Musical Moment Monday, today were spinning the soundtrack from one of my favorite Heath Ledger movies: A Knight's Tale!

Artist: Various
Album: A Knight's Tale Original Soundtrack
Released: 2001

Cover: Heath Ledger (God rest his soul) against a red background. The wording is in white.

Booklet: One side of the of the booklet it a grey fabric background with all the writing in white. There is an awesome little write up about this movie's music by one of the album's producers, Brian Helgeland. The other side is a red fabric with a collage of images from the movie.

Back Cover: The outside is a pic from one of the joust scenes and the song list and Sony Music Soundtrax logo is in white. Inside back cover is a grey fabric with a darker grey imprint of Will's bird symbol I can't remember if it was the one her used disguised or after.

The Disk: The disk is black with white lettering.

The Music:

We Will Rock You- (Written by Brian May/ Sung by Queen) Opening song of the movie which probably gave you a hint the soundtrack would not be the norm of a medieval flick. It is also a much loved song at gaming events. It's also one of my favorite Queen songs, along with the other queen hit on this album, and the Highlander series theme song Princes of the Universe.

Low Rider- (Written by Syvester Allen, Harold Brown, Morris Dickerson, Lonnie Jordan, Charles Miller, Lee Oskar, Howard Scott, and Jerry Goldstein/ Sung by War) Anyone else thinking of George Lopez or Gone in 60 Seconds when they hear this? I also can't help thinking of my old car the Camaro my sister named Peggy Sue.

Takin' Care of Business- (Written by Randy Bachman/ Sung by Bachman-Turner Overdrive) Still keeping the business in order after all these time.

Golden Years- (Written and Sung by the Goblin King err David Bowie) I believe it was to this song that Will was attempting to bust some moves, although at the beginning his dance didn't hold much magic (okay I'll quit with Labyrinth references).

Crazy on You- (Written by Ann Wilson, Nancy Wilson, and Roger Fisher/ Sung by Heart) Cue the guitar intro!

Further On Up the Road- (Written by Don Robey and Joe Veasey/ Sung by Eric Clapton) The old song predicting of the bad karma to be had later on a person for hurting a body.

Get Ready- (Written by William Robinson Jr/ Sung by Rare Earth) 4 words: Prepare for the love.

I Want to Take You Higher- (Wrote by Sylvester Stewart/Sung by Sly & the Family Stone) Boom laka laka *harmonica solo!*

The Boys are Back in Town- (Wrote by Phil Lynott/ Sung by Thin Lizzy) As long as The Wilburn Brothers' Trouble song show up it'll all be good. * See Trouble's Back in Town*

One of Your Own- (Okay I think the music for the track was wrote and performed by Carter Burwell, while the dialogue was wrote by Brain Helgeland and Spoken by Paul Bettany) This is Chaucer's rousing speech as he bought time for Will to get ready for the next round of his tournament. I love when he's doing the balancing act near the royals' sitting area and just keeps on speeching.

We Are the Champions-( Written by Freddie Mercury/ Sung by Robbie Williams and Queen) My other favorite Queen song, they actually have the video for this version of the song on the movie's DVD. Actually one time when the Captain brought over either Dragon Strike, or Hero Quest, and My sister and me played it, with the Captain as our Game master, we actually played the Crazy Frog version of this song. Keep in mind this was our first victory against her so we wanted to celebrate, it only stung more we used the version done by a character she doesn't care fore. :P

Pieces-(Wrote by Dan Powell and Adam Smalley/ Sung by Dan Powell) I guess even shattered hearts are capable of love...

Eye Conqueror- (Wrote by Stephen Jenkins and Arion Salazar/Sung by Third Eye Blind) Conquering the heart!

 
Keep the music rocking through out the week my friends, don't over do the Easter goodies, and May God Bless You!

30 Day Writing Challenge: Day 28

Happy Hump Day friends,

This writing challenge now challenges me to :"Post five things that make you laugh-out-loud." Which was very difficult to think of since I'm dealing with some depression, and anxiety, issues here lately...

1. The show Whose Line is it Anyway? Even if it's old episodes I still get a kick out of them.

2. The pets, especially Mousey, have had me cracking up.

3. This Tumblr I found [Bleep] My Players Say. Love my censoring?

4. The antics of Youtubers.

5. My favorite comedians: Jeff Dunham and Fluffy!

Hope you all find things that make you laugh this week friends. God bless you!

Happy Monday friends,

The writing challenge wants me to : "Write about an area in your life that you'd like to improve."
My mental health is a big area I'd like to improve. I'd like to be get to the point that I have a better handle on it. I know I'll always have it, and they'll be good and bad days, but wanna get a handle on it.

Speaking of health I'm postponing the Musical Moments post I was gonna do this week, cause I'm not feeling 100%. I hope you have a good Holy Week my friends, and may God Bless You.

30 Day Writing Challenge: Day 25

Blessed Sunday my friends,

On this post of the writing challenge I was asked to: "Think of any word. Search it on google images. Write something inspired by the 11th image." My word was "wanderlust" and my image was the first one on this link.

She gathered her pack
The last bits of her life
Outside waits her truck and a camper
Both old but still travel ready
She climbs in the cab
She's been waiting for this day forever
To see the land
To live on the road
Yes the living would be tight and sparse
But the tales she's have tell at the end of the journey
She pulls out an old mix tape marked "Travel Mix"
And pushes it into the tape deck
As the first strains poured out of the speakers
She turned her wheels to the west
Ready to heed the call of the open road

Have a blessed day friends and may God bless you!
