Tekst piosenki Roxette — It Must Have Been Love Tłumaczenie Roxette — It Must Have Been Love Lay a whisper on my pillow Złóż szept na mojej poduszce Leave the winter on the ground Pozostaw chłód na podłodze I wake up lonely, there is air of silence Budzę się samotna, powietrze jest wypełnione ciszą In the bedroom and all around W sypialni i wokół niej Touch me now, I close my eyes and dream away Dotknij mnie teraz, zamykam oczy i odpływam w marzeniu It must have been love but it’s over now To musiała być miłość, ale już się skończyła It must have been good but I lost it somehow Na pewno musiała być dobra, ale ją w jakiś sposób straciłam It must have been love but it’s over now To musiała być miłość From the moment we touched, til’ the time had run out Od momentu naszego dotyku aż do czasu, gdy ten się skończył Make-believing we’re together Chcę wierzyć, że jesteśmy razem That I’m sheltered by your heart Że jestem schowana w twoim sercu But in and outside I’ve turned to water Ale w środku i na zewnątrz zamieniłam się w wodę Like a teardrop in your palm Jak łza na twojej dłoni And it’s a hard winter’s day, I dream away A tymczasem jest ponury zimowy dzień, odpływam w marzeniu It must have been love but it’s over now To musiała być miłość, ale już się skończyła It was all that I wanted, now I’m living without To było wszystko czego pragnęłam, teraz żyję bez niej It must have been love but it’s over now To musiała być miłość, ale już się skończyła It’s where the water flows, it’s where the wind blows Tam gdzie płynie woda i wieje wiatr It must have been love but it’s over now To musiała być miłość, ale już się skończyła It must have been good but I lost it somehow Musiała być dobra, ale ją jakoś straciłam It must have been love but it’s over now To musiała być miłość, ale już się skończyła From the moment we touched, til’ the time had run out Od momentu naszego dotyku aż do czasu gdy się skończył Yeah, it must have been love but it’s over now Tak, To z pewnością była miłość, ale już się skończyła It was all that I wanted, now I am living without To było wszystko czego pragnęłam, teraz jestem bez niej It must have been love but it’s over now To musiała być miłość, ale już się skończyła It’s where the water flows, it’s where the wind blows Tam gdzie płynie woda i wieje wiatr Must have been love To musiała być miłość Must have been love To musiała być miłość 1 / 3 antyteksty.com - teksty, które coś znaczą Sylwia Dudek Roxette - It Must Have Been Love Zwroty & Wyrażenia Dream away I close my eyes and dream away Zamykam oczy i odpływam w marzeniu To dream away = odpływać w świat fantazji, marzeń. Przykład: I just want to sit in the sun and dream the day away. = Chcę zwyczajnie posiedzieć na słońcu i marzyć przez cały dzień. Zapewne wielu z Was stawia sobie pytanie: jaka jest różnica pomiędzy to dream i to dream away? Otóż, oba te zwroty znaczą prawie to samo = marzyć, śnić. Jednak należy pamiętać, iż dodając do czasownika słowo away oznacza ono waste = strata, np.: Don’t dream your life away. = Nie trać życia marząc na jawie. Sam czasownik to dream odnosi się do kogoś, kto faktycznie śpi; to dream away wyraża stan, w któ- rym ktoś marzy, śni na jawie — o swojej przyszłości, sytuacji. Jest to stan niezakłócony niczym, i czę- sto też odnosi się do nieosiągalnych celów. Run out From the moment we touched til’ the time had run out Od momentu naszego dotyku aż do czasu gdy się skończyła To run out = skończyć coś w taki sposób, ze nic nie pozostaje. Przykład: I have run out of milk. = Skończyło mi się mleko. Make-believing Make-believing, we’re together Chcę wierzyć (zmuszam siebie do wierzenia), że jesteśmy razem To make-believing = zmuszać siebie do wierzenia w coś. Pojawia nam się tutaj słowo kluczowe to make, które oprócz dobrze już znanego nam znaczenia ma również inne = zmuszać kogoś do czegoś. Przykład : His mom made him clean his room again. = Jego mama zmusiła go, aby posprzątał swój pokój jesz- cze raz. 2 / 3 antyteksty.com - teksty, które coś znaczą Sylwia Dudek Roxette - It Must Have Been Love Gramatyka Must have been It must have been love but it’s over now To musiała być miłość, ale już się skończyła Must( czasownik modalny) + have + past participle verb (czasownik w 3 formie lub koncówka -ed) Przykłady: I think James must have drunk all the milk. There is none left. = Myślę że, James musiał wypić cale mleko. Nic nie zostało. Look at Lilly’s suntun. She must have been somewhere on vacation. = Spójrz na opaleniznę Lilly. Musiała być gdzieś na wakacjach. Takiego sformułowania możemy używać w sytuacji, w której mamy bardzo silne przekonanie, że dana rzecz miała miejsce — jesteśmy tak bardzo o tym przekonani ze możemy wręcz dostarczyć dowodów na to.

SAMPLING THE CIRCUITS: THE CASE FOR A NEW COMPREHENSIVE SCHEME FOR DETERMINING COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT AS A RESULT OF MUSIC SAMPLING INTRODUCTION Music sampling continues to be the linchpin of a variety of musical styles including rap, hip-hop, house, and dance music, and has even become prevalent in rock music.1 The practice of sampling involves taking pre-existing sound recordings and using portions of those recordings as elements in a new musical composition.2 The amount of the work sampled can range from taking the entire ―hook‖ or chorus/refrain from a musical composition to smaller elements, such as a riff or even one or two notes or words.3 Music sampling, as it pertains to copyright law and copyright licensing, is a real and current issue.

  • Pretty Woman
    PRETTY WOMAN BY JONATHAN LAWTON STEPHEN METCALFE EXT. A HOUSE IN THE HOLLYWOOD HILLS - NIGHT The view of downtown Los Angeles from the enormous, ornate house is extraordinary. A small outdoor dinner party is in progress. A MAGICIAN is entertaining guests. Playing cards and coins appear and disappear in his nimble hands. INT. HOUSE STUDY - NIGHT EDWARD HARRIS stands at the window, impassively looking down at the party. Edward is a handsome, well groomed man of around forty. He looks tired; the kind of fatigue that can't be cured by a night's sleep. EDWARD (a murmur) Left pocket. And indeed, down below, the magician pulls the coin from the left pocket of the incredulous WOMAN's silk blazer. More laughter and applause. The study is in keeping with the rest of the house. Luxurious. Everything the best. WILLIAM STUCKEY, Edward's contemporary, is a crafty looking lawyer who is the party host. VANCE is an investment banker. His assistant JAKE, is a financial researcher. The other men are INVESTMENT BANKERS. They are in dark suits and power ties. On the table are stacks of documents and folders, the name "KROSS INDUSTRIES" is prominent on many of the folders. INVESTMENT BANKER 1 Our banks certainly doesn't want to discourage Harris Enterprises from investing in California. We think this is a great new venue for you but you've got to understand the mergers and acquisitions market is changing. With the upswing in inflation we have to make these offerings tempting to offset the risk. VANCE Look, we're talking about hard assets and a straight liquidation.

  • OH, PRETTY PARODY: CAMPBELL V. ACUFF-ROSE MUSIC, INC
    Volume 8, Number 1 Fall 1994 OH, PRETTY PARODY: CAMPBELL v. ACUFF-ROSE MUSIC, INC. Lisa M. Babiskin* INTRODUCTION For the second time ever, the Supreme Court addressed the affirmative defense of fair use to copyright infringement in the context of parody in Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc. ~ The unanimous opinion found a parody rap version of Roy Orbison's song "Oh, Pretty Woman" by the group 2 Live Crew could be a fair use within the exceptions to the protections of the Copyright Act of 1976. 2 The fair use defense is an inconsistent and confusing area that has been called "the most trouble- some [issue] in the whole law of copyright. "3 The Campbell decision helps preserve the flexible, case-by-case analysis intended by Congress and recognizes the value of parody both as a form of social criticism and catalyst in literature. The decision affords wide latitude to parodists, emphasizing the irrelevance of the judge's personal view of whether the parody is offensive or distasteful. It is unclear whether future courts will interpret this holding to be limited to fair use of parody in the context of song, or whether they will construe it more broadly to confer substantial freedom to parodists of all media. It is also unclear what effect this decision will have on the music industry's practice of digital sampling. This article will review the historical background of fair use in the context of parody and the case law preceding the Supreme Court's decision. A detailed discussion of the lower courts' decisions will be followed by analysis of the Supreme Court's decision and its implications for the future.

  • Feminist Film Theory and Pretty Woman, by Mari Ruti. Bloomsbury Academic, 2016, 216 Pages
    Feminist Film Theory and Pretty Woman, by Mari Ruti. Bloomsbury Academic, 2016, 216 pages. Alice Guilluy Over the last decade, scholarly interest in the contemporary romantic comedy (or “rom- com”) has grown significantly. A central focal point in the recent literature has been to interrogate the genre’s much-maligned reputation (Deleyto), and to highlight the sexist undertones in its usual dismissals as “trite or lightweight” (Abbott and Jermyn 2). A number of works have sought to rehabilitate the genre by tracing its lineage back to the more prestigious screwball comedies of the 1930s and 1940s (Jeffers McDonald; Grindon). Significant attention has also been paid to the representation of gender in contemporary rom-coms, and its close connection to postfeminism (Ferriss and Young; Negra; Radner; Schreiber). Within this scholarship, Pretty Woman (Gary Marshall, 1990) is often considered, along with When Harry Met Sally (Rob Reiner, 1989), to be a “format-defining” text of the genre’s contemporary cycle (Radner, Neo-Feminist Cinema 26). Given the contribution of both Pretty Woman and its director to the rom-com canon, it is somewhat surprising that neither has received more critical attention. Mari Ruti’s Feminist Film Theory and Pretty Woman works to fill this gap, providing the first book-length examination of Gary Marshall’s film. From the start, Ruti also highlights the double standard to which rom-coms are held: “there is something questionable about our society’s routine disparagement of romantic comedies—a genre affiliated with women and femininity specifically” (2). Indeed, Ruti’s stated aim is to nuance discussions around the romantic comedy’s ideological conservatism, and to interrogate its alleged influence on female audiences.

    Käraste Micke med barn, Tillsammans med er sörjer vi en underbar persons hädangång, och medan ni har förlorat en hustru och en mamma har miljoner av beundrare världen över förlorat en vän och en inspirationskälla. Många av dessa kände att de hade velat prata med er, dela sina historier om Marie med er, om vad hon betydde för dem, och hur mycket hon har förändrat deras liv. Det ni håller i era händer är en samling av över 6200 berättelser, funderingar och minnen från människor ni förmodligen inte kän- ner personligen, men som Marie har gjort ett enormt intryck på. Ni kommer att hitta både sorgliga och glada inlägg förstås, men huvuddelen av dem visar faktiskt hur enormt mycket bättre världen har blivit med hjälp av er, och vår, Marie. Hon kommer att leva kvar i så många människors hjärtan, och hon kommer aldrig att glömmas. Tack för allt Marie, The Daily Roxette å tusentals beundrares vägnar. A A. Sarper Erokay from Ankara/ Türkiye: How beautiful your heart was, how beautiful your songs were. It is beyond the words to describe my sorrow, yet it was pleasant to share life on world with you in the same time frame. Many of Roxette songs inspired me through life, so many memories both sad and pleasant. May angels brighten your way through joining the universe, rest in peace. Roxette music will echo forever wihtin the hearts, world and in eternity. And you’ll be remembered! A.Frank from Germany: Liebe Marie, dein Tod hat mich zu tiefst traurig gemacht. Ich werde deine Musik immer wieder hören.

  • We Say Who, When, and How Much: Feminism in Pretty Woman” Elizabeth Konopka Construction of Women in U.S
    Konopka 1 “We Say Who, When, and How Much: Feminism in Pretty Woman” Elizabeth Konopka Construction of Women in U.S. Cinema Women’s and Gender Studies 4010 In 1990, Touchstone Pictures released a film that became a cultural icon and box office success: Pretty Woman. Directed by Garry Marshall, the film starred Julia Roberts and Richard Gere and depicted the relationship between a Los Angeles sex worker and a wealthy corporate raider. The film has since been interpreted by various scholars as both having feminist ideology and as reinforcing gender stereotypes. In this essay, I argue that Pretty Woman, while in some ways reflects feminist ideology, is overall a woman’s film which places a woman at the center of the story while positioning heterosexual marriage and family as that woman’s goal. The film’s plot follows a Los Angeles sex worker, Vivian Ward, who meets corporate raider Edward Lewis when he is lost trying to find his hotel. She takes him back to his hotel, spends the night with him, and Edward then reveals to her that he is in town for the week on business and needs someone to act as his date for the social events he needs to attend. Edward and Vivian agree that she will spend the week as his “beck-and-call girl” for $3,000. He purchases a new wardrobe for Vivian as part of the deal, teaching her to act and dress like an upper-class lady. The two attend polo matches, business dinners at fancy restaurants, and the opera.
