Frente Al Mar - Ximena Sariñana (lyrics)

Ardo en soledad
canto que dar
la falta de saber en dónde estas.

Me cuesta esconder
tu parte de mi piel
frente al mar
tomo tu lugar
frente al mar
tomo tu lugar.

Contra corrientes
mareas y sal
no sabrás lo mucho que dolerá
dolerá

La farsa de volver
es el codepender
frente al mar
tomo tu lugar
frente al mar
tomo tu lugar.

Uuu uuu uuuu uuuu.

Monsters - Hurricane Bells (Official MV)

hurricanebells1

Released recently is the music video for Hurricane Bells' "Monsters," a song which was featured on the official soundtrack for The Twilight Saga: New Moon.

Unlike some of the other New Moon contributors' videos, there is no tie-in to the film (i.e., clips of the movie), but it is interesting to see the director's vision for the song as compared with the song's placement in the film.

Steve Schiltz, frontman for the band, had this to say about being on the New Moon soundtrack. "The track was a little too heavy and I left it off the record, it was like a bonus track. Back in July, I gave it to my publishers and when they told me it has been taken for the movie I was like wow and then it changed everything."

He noted that the biggest change, so far, has been his financial capacity to make more music. "It just happened and this was the biggest thing but it just got me the money to make more music and didn't make a major impact on my music. All it really means is I am getting enough time and money to make another record."

OK Go are Team Edward

"I have to admit, I still haven’t seen Twilight, but I did enjoy New Moon. It was an entertaining watch for sure, and I can see why it appeals to kids of all ages. I think if I were to pick, I’m probably Team Edward, if I had to really choose. I find Jacob to be a little bit whiny (and I’m not speaking of Taylor Lautner as a person, I’m just talking about his character). There’s just something about Jacob’s neediness that I just find somewhat annoying. Edward sort of seems to have his shit together a little more, or at least he plays it much cooler than Jacob. I sort of respect him for that. Plus, I think vampires are a little bit cooler than werewolves."

New Moon OST, Top Ten Movie Soundtracks of 2009

Drake Lelane. Film.com

Any year that features films from music-oriented directors Wes Anderson and Quentin Tarantino is going to be a good year for soundtracks. Many of the films' soundtracks this year were highly anticipated, with indie rock star power attached early on to films likeThe Twilight Saga: New Moon (Thom Yorke, Grizzly Bear, Bon Iver) and Where the Wild Things Are (Karen O. of Yeah Yeah Yeahs), but not all delivered on that promise when the visuals were married in the final product.

The commonality of most of the soundtracks on this list is nostalgia, whether it be for old cinema classics or for our own childhood. It's a tricky business, tickling that ache for the past, but for the films below business is mostly good. (As an added bonus, several of the entries below have "reassembled" playlists incorporating all the songs used in the film -- enjoy!)

10. The Twilight Saga: New Moon
New Moon makes this list almost purely because of the inclusion of new material from the likes of Grizzly Bear ("Slow Life"), Thom Yorke ("Hearing Damage"), and pairing Bon Iver with St. Vincent ("Roslyn"). Whether it's the best music for Taylor Lautner to remove his shirt to is probably up for debate.

For the full list go here.

Thanks to New Moon the Soundtrack.

Lesson 4: Decode by Paramore

Decode by Paramore

For my student, Jana

Remember the lesson on eighth notes and Leyenda? This is just the same. Use p on bass notes (in this case it's all "la") and alternate i and m on the treble notes.

Note: Intro is transposed an octave lower. Jana can only sight read first position notes on the guitar. 
Right Hand Symbols: p - thumb, i - index, m - middle 


These are the Chords:

Left Hand Symbols: 1 - index, 2 - middle, 3 - ring finger


Make four strums of each chord above. They go with these lyrics:

FM7                                      Am/D

How can I decide what's right? 

                                               Am

When you're clouding up my mind 

                                   Em

Can't win your losing fight all the time 

FM7                                        Am/D

Not gonna ever own what's mine 

                                               Am

When you're always taking sides 

                                         Em

You wont take away my pride 

                   FM7      Am/D

No not this time 

                Am          Em

Not this time 

Same thing with the Chorus:

FM7           

How did we get here? 

Am/D                     Am      Em

I use to know you so well 

FM7

How did we get here? 

Am/D                     Am     Em       *Am       G    Em

Well, I think I know

*Do four strums of Am, 3 strums G and 1 Em. You still remember how to do a G, right? =)

Same chords FM7-Am/D-Am and Em (4 strums each) for the next verse and chorus (except the highlighted blue bit after the chorus):

The truth is hiding in your eyes 

And its hanging on your tongue 

Just boiling in my blood, 

But you think that I can't see 

What kind of man that you are 

If you're a man at all 

Well, I will figure this one out on my own 

(I'm screaming "I love you so..." But my thoughts you can't decode) 

How did we get here? 

I use to know you so well 

How did we get here? 

Well, I think I know

Guitar Solo: Do same chords above FM7 - Am/D - Am - Em (twice)

Next:

Chords above are for these part:

You can do four strums each or 2 longer ones.

            FM7                    Dm

Do you see what we've done? 

                                         Am                Em

We're gonna make such fools of ourselves 

            FM7                      Dm

Do you see what we've done? 

                                         Am               Em

We're gonna make such fools of ourselves 

Then back to basic chords:

FM7-Am/D

       Am      Em

Yeah 

FM7                             Am/D 

How did we get here?

                               Am         Em 

I use to know you so well 

FM7                           Am/D

How did we get here?

                                       Am          Em 

Well, I use to know you so well

Lastly, do this chord pattern on the last part of the song:

Do one strum each on FM7-G-Am/D-Am-FM7-Am7 and a longer one on Em on this part of the song:

FM7 G Am/D Am FM7 Am7 Em

I think I know 

FM7 G Am/D Am FM7 Am7 Em

I think I know 

FM7      G  Am/D    Am FM7 Am7 Em

There is something that I see in you 

FM7      G  Am/D    Am FM7 Am7 Em

It might kill me I want it to be true 

And end with an Am/D =)

New Moon tracks make it to Top Ten Indie Rock Songs of 2009

Aolradioblog. Rae Votta

While indie rock used to mean a band was too small and underground to garner a mainstream following, in recent years the genre has moved more and more into the spotlight, making this year's top indie rock songs recognizable to many listeners. This is especially evident as many indie darlings were featured on the major motion picture and Twilight sequel 'New Moon.' From Tegan and Sara toDeath Cab for Cutie and beyond, read on to discover the Top Indie Rock Songs of 2009, as determined by AOL Radio listeners.

1) Phoenix: '1901'

2) Sea Wolf: 'The Violet Hour'

Sea Wolf is the project of Los Angeles musician Alex Brown Church, and composed of a rotating cast of musicians. The band was asked to include the song 'The Violet Hour' in 'New Moon,' appearing in the film during Bella's birthday scene.

3) Death Cab for Cutie: 'Meet Me on the Equinox'

The song was released as the first single on the soundtrack for 'New Moon.' Singer Ben Gibbard told MTV that "The song at its core is just about meeting another halfway, because life is very short, because there's only a brief period of time to really connect with people, and that it's important to recognize that."

4) Matt & Kim: 'Daylight'

5) The xx: 'Islands'

6) Fink: 'Sort of Revolution'

7) Lykke Li: 'Possibility'

Lykke Li released her first album, 'Youth Novels' in 2008 and continued touring in 2009 to much critical acclaim. When asked to contribute to the New Moon soundtrack in 2009, she was unsure of what to write about until she watched a screener of the movie. Her song 'Possibility' -- with haunting soft piano melody and humming -- plays during a time-passage sequence when heroine Bella thinks about her relationship with Edward.

8) Grizzly Bear: 'Two Weeks'

9) Anya Marina: 'Satellite Heart'

Named one of the "Best Unsigned" acts by San Diego City Beat back in '05, Marina soon after picked up recognition, her songs being featured on 'Grey's Anatomy' and most recently 'Gossip Girl.' 'Satellite,' written especially for the soundtrack, is in the scene where Edward is driving Bella home.

10.) Tegan and Sara: 'Hell'

Solar Midnite - Lupe Fiasco Official MV link

This is just in from New Moon The Soundtrack website that Lupe Fiasco has just released the official music video of the song "Solar Midnite" which is included as a Bonus Track for New Moon Soundtrack. You can check the video at New Moon the Soundtrack's youtube channel or Lupe Fiasco's.

I just got back from the theater. I watched New Moon again! =) For those of you who do not know, Solar Midnite was played during the theater scene, when Bella, Jacob and Mike watched a movie called "Face Punched". I was so excited when I got home and learned of the release of their MV but got disappointed that they disabled embedding of their videos. Oh well, lets just respect that. ;-)


I haven't been posting as much these past few days. It's December. It's Christmas. The busiest month for a musician. In fact, I just got back from an out of town gig. And the hotel that I stayed in doesn't have wifi. There are still a lot that I want to share. I will find the time. Right now, I have to sleep. Good night, guitarists! *yawn* .


Update 12/11 You can view official music video of Solar Midnite here at all in twilight.

All my life I've been searching for something
Something I can put my finger on

Every Friday just about midnight
All my problems seem to disappear
Everyone that I miss when I'm distant
Everybody's here

B5-B5-E5-E5-A#5-A#5

I need love
Cause only love is true
I need every wakin' hour with you
And my friends cause they're so beautiful
Yeah my friends they are so beautiful
They're my friends

All my life I've been wastin', wastin'
Wastin' all my money, all my time
All the time that I'm waitin', waitin'
Waitin for the moment you are mine
The song about yeah I'm thinkin', thinkin'
Thinkin all the things that i've done wrong

Video is a half step higher than the original. I think people in youtube are having copyright issues with New Moon so they kinda tweak with the track a bit. Some uploaded NM tracks way down lower than the original.
