The Illusions of Beauty and the Beast Jr Dating Song
One of the more interesting songs from The Ill Effects of Music, Beauty and the Beast is a great little ballad about a beautiful woman that is also a monster. This song also contains one of the most recognizable opening lines in a song: “Sweet dreams to the woman who loves you”. It sounds a bit corny, but it has always been a favorite. This version of the Beauty and the Beast lyrics has been remade many times over, sometimes with a slightly modified line from “Beautiful Women” to make it a bit less cheesy (and to make it a bit less sentimental). In fact, the original lyrics remain pretty much unchanged, but the melody and chord progressions have been altered or replaced for popular uses.
The only original song that doesn’t feature the classic melody and chord sequence is another ballad by The Ill Effects of Music’s Mike Oldfield. “Home Sweet Home” is about a man that is unhappy about being single. Instead of just lying in bed thinking about his lady love, he gets up and takes a walk. It is an incredibly cute and sad song that seems to constantly get replayed on television and radio.
Regardless of which original version of the lyrics you choose to listen to, you can’t deny that this is one of the most beloved songs from the movie. No matter what version of the lyrics you hear, the simple message of love will stand. That’s what makes it even better: it is still a beautiful song about love, despite how corny the lyrics are. So if you or someone you know wants to get into the mood for a nice sleepy-night lull, listening to The Illusions of Beauty and the Beast will put you in the right place.
A Review of Home Lyrics Jr
‘Beauty And The Beast‘ is a musical fantasy / horror film released in 1992. The movie has been widely acclaimed by critics and home viewers alike. Based on the novel ‘The Faerie Queene’ the movie revolves around the unhappy residence of the titular characters, The Fair Folk. Created by Tim Burton, the film has a gothic theme with elements of horror, suspense and romance all wrapped up in a beautiful ballad of sorts.
Based on the original French tale ‘The Faerie Queene’, the movie follows the mischievous antics of a trio of fairy-tale creatures who fall in love and married each other but then are driven insane by a impending threat from three different sides. Musically, the album covers the main themes of the movie whilst introducing a number of guest artists that helped to add that finishing touch. Starting with the lovely and sultry vocals of Sufjan Stevens, the rest of the band quickly joins him in his quest to find the ‘key to eternal youth’. Other artists on the album cover include The Black Keys, Jlin, Kasabian, Aaron Neville and Kurt Cobain and wed again, Britney Spears.
The first single from the album, ‘Waters Edge’, takes us back to our familiar territory in that the opening verse lays down the theme for the entire song. Following this is a brief refrain which provides the perfect introduction for the next stanza. It sounds as if the lyrics were written just before the first stanza and is accompanied by a slightly haunting and slow drum beat. The second verse deals with more of the romance and emotional side of the story, as if trying to win back a lover or push that lost love back into your arms. As the song closes it shows a dark and almost ominous note as the last line reminds us that life is a mystery that can never be solved.
Produced by iTunes Music and released by Parrot Music, the first single from Home lyrics Jr consists of a beautiful piano music accompanied by very soft vocals. The piano notes are used to great effect to create a slow, dreamy atmosphere. The lyrics have a very simple yet catchy quality to them. In between the verses we are introduced to new characters who help to take the song to the next level, and it’s when things really start to get interesting. The last verse sees the band push harder to capture the listener’s attention as they reach the part when they ask the listener for something, but it doesn’t quite go their way; the question is left hanging.
After the first couple of minutes there are no lyrics to speak as the song fades out and we are treated to the most amazing instrumental piece with one of the most poignant melodies ever written. This one is called ‘Touch’. It sounds almost like a whisper as the synths wash over you. At one point the lyrics come out clearly, just before the instrumental break, but this is short lived as the band quickly goes back to singing, as if nothing has happened. It is when the second verse arrives that they really start to hammer home what they’re trying to say, with the lyrics being sung in a high, falsetto style.
The music is played at a very slow pace, almost like a meditation. This, I believe, is the main appeal to Home lyrics Jr; it gives you the feeling that you are trapped in the song, and yet, you’re completely outside it. You can listen to the song a few times, and still find something to relate to. Maybe even think of a few things you can say to the person who wrote the lyrics. It’s rare that you will hear someone say exactly what they feel in a song.
