  • Download Weeknd Album My Dear Melancholy
    download weeknd album my dear melancholy My Dear Melancholy, Coming off multi-platinum, Grammy-winning success with Starboy and apt placement on the Black Panther soundtrack, Abel Tesfaye shirks candy-coated summertime jams for aggrieved ballads with this six-track EP, issued with little advance notice. Considering its unswerving focus on romantic anguish and self-medication, and a listener's natural inclination to associate the pronouns with Tesfaye's famous exes, the EP might seem extreme, but it retraces familiar shapes in condensed form. Most obviously, "Call Out My Name" resembles "Earned It" with synthesized menace in place of strings and a dash of the distorted terror previously heard on "The Hills." In one verse directed at the object of his unrequited affection, Tesfaye confesses that he wasn't truthful when he said he "didn't feel nothing," then lashes out for being taken at his initial word and treated in kind, "just another pit stop." In that regard, the level of emotional maturity hasn't changed much since the mixtapes. Apart from the sly and sweet 2-step rhythm on "Wasted Times," the sound of the EP is bleary R&B with beats that drag and lurch, suited for Tesfaye's routine swings between self-pity and sexual vanity, chemically enhanced from one extreme to the other. For all his rehashed scenes, Tesfaye can be one of the most affecting vocalists in contemporary pop. When he sings "I got two red pills to take the blues away" in "Privilege," he might as well be slouched in the driver's seat of one of his luxury sports cars, staring into his open palm like he's holding all that he truly values.

  • TEDS Monthly Notes CTE Technical Education Database System October 2019
    TEDS Monthly Notes CTE Technical Education Database System October 2019 25 or 6 to 4 - Chicago - According to composer Robert Lamm, this song is about trying to write a song in the middle of the night. The song's title is the time at which the song is set: 25 or 26 minutes before 4 am. “Waiting for the break of day, Searching for something to say…” We have all been there at one point or another. The only constant is that tomorrow, we can do it all again. Don’t give up, don’t close your eyes while you’re sitting cross legged on the floor… Think about what you’re going to say. To your students and parents about how you are going to help them to reach those next steps. To your fellow teachers about how you can work together to help each other and our students. Most importantly, to yourself about whether you did all you could to help those entrusted to you daily. They need us and we need them. Personally, each day, I take a deep breath and take five for myself. You deserve it and you shouldn’t deny yourself. Five will get you ten that, once you wake up the next day, you’ll be ready to roll again. I have found that the easiest way to avoid feeling like it’s 25 or 6 to 4, is to know that I did what I needed to when I needed to do it and I did it the best I could. Even when nobody else notices.

  • The Weeknd Kiss Land Full Album Download Google Drive First Listen: the Weeknd, 'Kiss Land' the Weeknd's New Album Kiss Land Will Be Released on Sept
    the weeknd kiss land full album download google drive First Listen: The Weeknd, 'Kiss Land' The Weeknd's new album Kiss Land will be released on Sept. 10. La Mar C. Taylor/Courtesy of the artist. After his first songs appeared on the Internet in late 2010, The Weeknd's Abel Tesfaye slowly crept under the sheets between Drake's brokenhearted bravado and the confessional cynicism of Frank Ocean with a series of free mixtapes of increasingly dark, brooding pop. He was the hermit gone wild, a lonely boy from Toronto with Michael Jackson's fragile tenor and a hard drive full of Portishead B-sides who suddenly had his pick of worldly women, but quickly became disillusioned by the paradox of choice. Tesfaye's new album, Kiss Land , is a glass-clad monolith to his jaded misogynist fantasies and melodramatic jet-setting, fascinating for both its futurist sonic template and its emotionally stunted hypersexuality. From the album's first line ("It's ideal, you need someone to tell you how to feel") to its last ("She forgot the good things about me / She let it slip away"), an overwhelming sense of hopelessness and dissociation sets in. Tesfaye's delicate voice, often breaking into a desperate whimper, constantly echoes off towering synthetic minor chords and spare, hydraulic drum patterns. He is truly lost in the machine. More than any of his contemporaries, Tesfaye personifies the anxiety, narcissism and ironic disconnect of the digital generation. His version of modern love is no fun; it's one built around blame, numbing overindulgence and cold sexual transaction.
