![]() ![]() Modern pop’s other great divorced-mother song. Aguilera emotes the song for all it’s worth, delivering what may be the strongest performance on the jazz-infused Back to Basics album. It celebrates her mother having the strength to walk out after realizing she deserved better and bears out the stronger mother-daughter bond that resulted. – Jacklyn Krol Christina Aguilera: Oh MotherĬhristina Aguilera’s “Oh Mother” ventures into riskier territory, dealing with her own memories of growing up with an abusive father. In 2019, meanwhile, Arcade Fire gave the song an exciting update for the live-action version of the movie. Its powerful message and performance earned it a place on the AFI list of greatest songs in film. The recent “Taylor’s version”: adds some new resonance by telling the story in her deeper adult voice.Ĭlick to load video Betty Noyes – Baby Mineīetty Noyes’ “Baby Mine” from Dubmo simply showcases what mothers feel for their babies. This Fearless track explores the mother-daughter bond through a couple of strong memories, including mom’s consolation after a tough day at school. Taylor Swift: The Best DayĮven on her early albums, Taylor Swiftwas especially good at grabbing those little details that tell a bigger story. ![]() That’s a lot of real-life detail to fit into a three-minute country song. Jamie O’Neil sings of the mother’s heroic moment in letting go of her daughter when she gets married, and then the daughter’s own heroism in tending to her mother when she’s aged. This 2005 hit isn’t about the singer’s own family, but a salute to the mothers of the world – especially the ones who sacrifice big dreams to raise daughters. On the recording, Kelli Trainor sounds every bit as wonderful as the song claims she is, and it was enough to give her a few moments of internet stardom. While all these artists sang to their mothers, Meghan Trainor went the extra mile and put hers on the record – not singing but chatting on the phone. In this funky tune, she tells him to get home early, never take more than your share and, by the way, don’t do heroin.Ĭlick to load video Meghan Trainor featuring Kelli Trainor: Mom Lenny Kravitz’s mother appears to be a regular well of good advice. – Jacklyn Krol Lenny Kravitz: Always on the Run Though the fairytale princess didn’t listen to Mother Gothel (Donna Murphy), the song is perfect for the “told you so” moment that mothers experience with their children. While Rapunzel’s mother in Tangled was quite the villain, “Mother Knows Best” is all about moms knowing what their child deserves. On an album full of splashy hit ballads, they made sure Mom got the splashiest. The words are warm and sentimental, and the music pulls out all the stops, with its gospel choir and hand-clapping finale. The Backstreet Boys closed out their smash Millennium album by thanking their mothers who got them to where they are. This stand-alone single was part of Justin Bieber’s transition from teen idol to grown-up hitmaker, and the lyric salutes his mother in grown-up terms: The lyric notes that he’s the same age she was when she had him, old enough to understand the sacrifices she made. (Props to you parents still hanging on to those mixtapes.Click to load video Justin Bieber: Turn to Me (Mother’s Day Dedication) The introduction of cassette tapes in the 1960s made music more ubiquitous, and the same tapes were played long after that decade ended. But it turned out their memories came not from current listening, but from hearing it when they were younger. Krumhansl thought the students might have memories of 60s music because it lives on as classic rock. But the top pop songs of that era used in the study also included "The Ballad of the Green Berets," "To Sir with Love" and "Sugar Sugar," so maybe it's not just that. The 1960s music may evoke strong memories in 20-somethings because of the quality, Krumhansl speculates. ![]() After hearing less than a second of a song, people can "come up with the title and the artist," Krumhansl says. Music is a powerful cue for retrieving strong personal memories - when you kissed that girl at summer camp the blue polka-dot dress you wore to prom how lonely you were freshman year.Īnd the human brain remembers music with extraordinary detail, unlike spoken words, in which people remember just the gist. The songs parents choose to listen to reflect their taste, their values, their era. Music plays a central role in child rearing, both in the songs children are taught at home and in school and in those heard more informally as part of the home environment. The connection to parents' music isn't entirely surprising. Young people have strong memories of music they heard growing up, especially the stuff their parents listened to when they were 20.

![]() ![]() The Dalai Lama spurned these titles, replying that he "intended to exercise both temporal and ecclesiastical rule in Tibet." In 1913, the Dalai Lama, who had fled to India when the Qing sent a military expedition to establish direct Chinese rule over Tibet in 1910, returned to Lhasa and issued a proclamation that stated that the relationship between the Chinese emperor and Tibet "had been that of patron and priest and had not been based on the subordination of one to the other." "We are a small, religious, and independent nation," the proclamation stated. įollowing the establishment of the new Republic, China's provisional President, Yuan Shikai, sent a telegram to the 13th Dalai Lama, restoring his earlier titles. The Provisional Constitution of the Republic of China adopted in 1912 specifically established frontier regions of the new republic, including Tibet, as integral parts of the state. the continued territorial integrity of the lands of the five races, Manchu, Han, Mongol, Hui, and Tibetan into one great Republic of China" (. This claim was provided for in the Imperial Edict of the Abdication of the Qing Emperor signed by the Empress Dowager Longyu on behalf of the six-year-old Xuantong Emperor: ". In early 1912, the Government of the Republic of China replaced the Qing dynasty as the government of China and the new republic asserted its sovereignty over all the territories of the previous dynasty, which included 22 Chinese provinces, Tibet, and Outer Mongolia. After the fall of the Qing dynasty in 1912, the Qing officials in Lhasa were then forced to sign the "Three Point Agreement" for the surrender and expulsion of Qing forces in central Tibet. Following the Xinhai Revolution in 1911–1912, Tibetan militia launched a surprise attack on the Qing garrison stationed in Tibet after the Xinhai Lhasa turmoil. But by the end of the 19th century, Chinese authority in Tibet was no more than symbolic. Tibet came under the rule of the Qing dynasty of China in 1720 after the Qing expelled the forces of the Dzungar Khanate. ![]() Its use symbolized China no longer had nominal rule over Tibet A map of East Asia in 1914 published by Rand McNally, showing Tibet as an autonomous region of the Republic of China ![]() See also: Tibet under Qing rule and Xinhai Lhasa turmoil Gold Seal presented by the Tibetan people to the 13th Dalai Lama in 1909. The era ended after the Nationalist government of the Republic of China lost the civil war against the Chinese Communist Party and Tibet was annexed into the newly formed People's Republic of China. Īfter the 13th Dalai Lama's death in 1933, a condolence mission sent to Lhasa by the Kuomintang-ruled Nationalist government to start negotiations about Tibet's status was allowed to open an office and remain there, although no agreement was reached. With its proclamation of independence and conduct of its own internal and external affairs in this period, Tibet is regarded as a " de facto independent state" as per international law, although its independence was not formally recognized by any foreign power. Tibet and Outer Mongolia also signed a treaty proclaiming mutual recognition of their independence from China. The Dalai Lama declared that Tibet's relationship with China ended with the fall of the Qing dynasty and proclaimed independence. However, it was unable to assert any authority in Tibet. When the provisional government of the Republic of China was formed, it received an imperial edict giving it control over all the territories of the Qing dynasty. The Tibetan Ganden Phodrang regime was a protectorate of the Qing dynasty until 1912. Tibet ( Tibetan: བོད་, Wylie: Bod) was a de facto independent state in East Asia that lasted from the collapse of the Manchu-led Qing dynasty in 1912 until its annexation by the People's Republic of China in 1951. ![]() ![]() Though despite the obvious leanings to Ian Flemings’s Hannes Oberhauser ( Octopussy and The Living Daylights, 1966), climbing accidents, parental loss, orders of “Temporary Guardianship” and Monica Bellucci marked out in a sort of Bertolucci-framed grief there is a delicious additional sense of baroque villainy already in place in this newest 007 bullet. Simply pitched and lushly shot by DOP du jour Hoyte van Hoytem, this online teaser pre-title sequence to a further media campaign demonstrates an early sense of cool and story precision as well as a refreshing lack of falling masonry, arched eyebrow raising, car and lady jousting.Ī destroyed MI6 building below The Fighting Temeraire’s oily horizon, Naomie Harris’s Moneypenny doing her subtext best with a flight recorder box of Bond’s salvaged memories and holiday selfies (though shouldn’t photos of a young Craig/Bond skiing show a bit more colourful 1980s exchange student ski-wear?), Bond at home and no doubt digging out his 1973 dressing gown (with his Live and Let Die coffee maker in one of those packing boxes), Bond being taken on a Who Do You Think You Are journey (there may be tears to camera before bedtime) and finding Catweazle – sorry, Mr White – hiding in an Austrian lodge not totally dissimilar (and wilfully so) to the interiors of Dennis Gassner’s 2012 Skyfall Lodge. Going viral round the globe quicker than Moonraker 5 or a Telly Savalas flu jab, the newly premiered trailer for SPECTRE hits the snow/water/gravel running and is surprisingly chaste for what could have played out as Skyfall II – Back To The Chapel. ![]() (Mark Gatiss, Catching Bullets – Memoirs of a Bond Fan) To this day, the arrival of the Bond teaser trailer is a red letter day for me” “And anticipation is a big part of the appeal. ![]() It was also a MUCH shorter game than TLJ. Great characters, worlds, and writing all around. It was clearly rushed, whcih is really unfortunate because I think the series is pretty awesome. Even though you knew she was going to end up in a coma at some point during the game, I didn't think that's where they would end it! Arghhh. Chang was Zoe's and Faith's mother, right?) had to go and put Zoe in a coma. It was a touching scene I guess, but there wasn't really much time to develop an attachment to Faith from the time they introduce her backstory to the time she disappears. I should have said resolutions to something that I cared about. It's a beautiful world, an intriguing story and a whole mess of puzzles. I don't think the ending is bad, just very very VERY lacking in resolution for stuff that isn't about Faith. Take Dreamfall Chapters, the third installment in The Longest Journey series. ![]() (one lil shank and fallen into a they resolve the little girl sub-plot and it's pretty well done. If not running through Steam, create a shortcut to 'Dreamfall Chapters.exe' (right click -> Create shortcut), and then right click -> Properties, then in the 'Target. I also remember that the old lady was supposed to be April Ryan, and there's no way they would kill off a main character like her in that fashion. Heres how: If youre running through Steam, click 'Dreamfall Chapters' in your library, and on the 'General' tab, click 'Set launch options' and put the -force-d3d9 in there. ![]() We might never learn what is the undreaming, what's the deal with that tower, what happens to zoe, april (come on), the crow and the assassin Skip to the 1:06:00 mark for the after credits scene. I say Funcom is in deap shit over their goddamn MMO and that the studio contracted to produce the sequel might lose its source of funding. Leaving 5 billion plot threads hanging in the wind. Even if the resolution to some plot threads is pretty satisfying and the plot twists at the end are pretty good, it doesn't excuse the fact that they don't touch the larger conflict AT ALL. I guess it's testament to the story for making me care about the fate of april, zoe, the crow and that assassin guy. Dreamfall Chapters review: Dreamfall Chapters stays true to the adventure genre it embraced way back in 1999 but doing so in 2017 makes the game feel outdated and past its prime. And the part after the credits just adds another layer of WTF. This game might have the biggest cliffhanger in the history of EVER!!! It puts halo 2 and half life episode 2 to shame. That was all fine and good until I reached the ending. Seeing april,crow and the crazy mage back was a truely great nostalgia trip. The point is, I still enjoyed Dreamfall and its complexe storyline and great characters. I played the longest journey to completion almost twice a very long time ago but I forgot most of the characters even though I still think it's one of the best advanture game ever made. Picked up dreamfall on the steam sale 2 days ago. Since these are subliminal messages, I wanna say X did this on purpose to show when the chorus is about to come.ĮDIT 3: I could not find any other songs with subliminal messages by means of reversing the audio. I really like how the pre-chorus in that song is played backwards before the song in this song. This is by Laura Mvula called Sing To The Moon but the songs samples this forward to. I am pretty sure this is the subliminal track he is talking about but maybe he has some other songs with subliminal messages in them.ĮDIT 1: Totally forgot about Vice City where three times the lines “When the lights go out and you’re on your own” are played backwards. ![]() I remember X tweeting saying that XXX(UnMastered) will have a subliminal track. Oddly enough, the music for this song is the same as ghost by X. If we play it backwards it says something around the lines of “I don’t know why you are doing it but it’s not healthy it’s not right.” Plugging this in on google gives a song by SurrenderDorothy called HeldAGhost. In the beginning of al.one (alone part 1), there appears to be a weird message.
