Baba O'Riley to Planet Earth

A weird idea I got. The BBC documentary 'Planet Earth' that was aired on the Discovery Channel. The music that the clips are put to is titled Baba O'Riley by The Who. I just thought the song sounded well with the clips, though the lyrics of the song are pretty unrelated. Clips were recorded using a trial of ZD Softscreen Recorder.

The Who - Baba O' Riley

The Who - Baba O' Riley"Baba O'Riley" is a song by the English rock band The Who, written by Pete Townshend, lead guitarist. Roger Daltrey sings most of the song, with Pete Townshend singing the middle eight: "Don't cry/don't raise your eye/it's only teenage wasteland". The title of the song is derived from this combination of the song's philosophical and musical influences: Meher Baba and Terry Riley.Townshend originally wrote "Baba O'Riley" for his Lifehouse project, a rock opera that was to be the follow-up to The Who's 1969 opera, Tommy. Townshend derived the song from a Lowrey berkshire home organ experimental recording, which the band reconstructed. "Baba O'Riley" was going to be used in the Lifehouse project as a song sung by Ray, the Scottish farmer at the beginning of the album as he gathers his wife Sally and his two children to begin their exodus to London. When Lifehouse was scrapped, many of the songs were released on The Who's 1971 album Who's Next. "Baba O'Riley" became the first track on Who's Next. The song was released as a single in several European countries, but in the US and the UK was only released as part of the album.Drummer Keith Moon had the idea of inserting a violin solo at the coda of the song, during which the style of the song shifts from crashing rock to an Irish folk-style beat. Dave Arbus, of East of Eden, plays the violin in one of the most recognizable solos in popular music. In concert, lead singer Roger Daltrey replaces the violin solo with a harmonica solo. The Who have produced a live version of the song with a violin, provided by Nigel Kennedy, during their 27 November 2000 concert at the Royal Albert Hall. The intro solo is on the keyboard.Noted for its innovative fusion of the Who's hard rock sound and early electronic music experimentation by Townshend inspired by minimalist composer Terry Riley, and for its crashing chorus coupled with repeating F-C-Bb power chords, the song has been a perennial favorite on classic rock radio stations as well as a concert staple for the band. It has often been mistakenly called "Teenage Wasteland" by many casual fans. That was in fact the title for a different but similar song by Townshend, which is slower and features more lyrics. (A version of "Teenage Wasteland" is featured on The Lifehouse Chronicles, a six disc set of demos planned for the Lifehouse project.)Pete Townshend states that the song is not about getting wasted, but about waste in general. He was inspired to write the song when the people around him complained about all of the world's problems but did nothing about them.The song's iconic backing track was derived from deep within the Lifehouse concept. Townshend wanted to input the life information of Meher Baba into a synthesizer, which would then generate music based on that information. That music would have been the backing track for "Baba O'Riley," but in the end, the frenetic sequence was played by Townshend on a Lowrey Berkshire Deluxe TBO-1 organ using its marimba repeat feature.[2]Although they never actually did it in concert, The Who considered pulling a person from the audience and programming their vital statistics into a synthesizer that would, in effect, translate that person into a musical theme around which a song could be built (an idea recently resurrected as the Lifehouse Method).Lyrics:Out here in the fields, I farm for my mealsI get my back into my livin'I don't need to fight to prove I'm rightI don't need to be forgivenYeah yeah yeah yeah yeahDon't cry, don't raise your eyeIt's only teenage wasteland...yeah...Sally take my hand, we'll travel south cross landPut out the fire, and don't look past my shoulderThe exodus is here, the happy ones are nearLet's get together, before we get much olderTeenage wastelandIt's only teenage wastelandTeenage wastelandOh, yeahTeenage wastelandThey're all wasted!

Smilin' Singin' Vegans (Brian Wilson, 'Vega-Tables' from the LP, SMiLE)

READ THIS: 'Vega-Tables' from the LP, SMiLE. In 2004, Brian Wilson, made a surprise announcement that he was going to finish the mythical SMiLE record using his current touring band. He contacted Van Dyke Parks, and the duo re-recorded the album. SMiLE won the Grammy award for the Best Rock Instrumental Performance for the piece "Mrs O'Leary's Cow" (aka "Fire").R&R Historical Footnote: In 1966 Brian Wilson commissioned Van Dyke Parks to write lyrics for the Beach Boys' next LP, the ambitious but ill-fated SMiLE. Parks and Wilson collaborated on songs for the album. Members of the Beach Boys strongly opposed SMiLE, notably Mike Love who negatively called Parks' lyrics "Acid Alliteration". The combination of resistance from the group and their record company, and Wilson's growing mental health problems and spiraling drug use, led Parks to quit the project in early 1967. It was shelved a few months later. Several Wilson/Parks songs from the SMiLE sessions later appeared on the Beach Boys' replacement album Smiley Smile, including "Heroes and Villains" and "Wind Chimes." Other songs slated for SMiLE, including "Cabinessence" and "Surf's Up," were compiled by Carl Wilson and included on subsequent LPs.SMiLE acquired legendary status as one of the great lost works of the sixties.SMiLE musician lineup: Brain Wilson, Jeffrey Foskett, Darian Sahanaja,Probyn Gregory, Nick Walusko, Nelson Bragg,Jim Hines, Bob Lizik,Paul Mertens,Scott Bennett,and Taylor MillsMusic: Brain WilsonWords: Van Dyke ParksPersonal Footnote: As described in my posted video, 'The Who: Baba O'Riley Archival Montage' including photos of 'yours truly', and the drummer for the Who, the late Keith Moon: Following the anniversary bash at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel -- later that evening, I met Brian Wilson in a party in Keith's suite (yep, Brian was donning a white bathrobe), along with Mick Jagger and my pal, the late Harry Nillson.The Dark Horse Records U.S. offices were located on the 'attrium/lower level' of Warner Bros. Records, along with all of the other 'custom record labels' distributed by Warner Bros. Records, including the Beachboys label, 'Brothers Records' and famed Motown songwriter ('Heard It Through The Grapevine, 'Car Wash', etc.) and producer, Norman Whitfield's, Whitfield Records label. Remarkably, Norman was quite outgoing and downright friendly to me--so I thought I'd ask him a few questions about his compositions, Motown experiences, etc. In any event, it turns out he mistook me for 'Brian Wilson' (I was bearded big and burly back then). Discoverying that, Norman abruptly stopped being so friendly (and conversing with me); indeed such a pity.Norman and I would later have a good laugh over the 'Brian Wilson mistaken identity' issue -- after record producerMarc Davis (whom I hired for a Five Stairsteps project--'Ooh Child' fame) sorted things out between Norman and I...more later.
