White House Song [PORTABLE] Download

"White Houses" is a song written by American singer Vanessa Carlton and Stephan Jenkins (lead singer of Third Eye Blind), and recorded for Vanessa Carlton's second album Harmonium (2004). Produced by Jenkins, it was released as the album's first single in 2004.

"White Houses" is structured around a 4/4 time signature which Blender magazine has described as "bright" and "un-girly",[2] and is backed by an orchestral arrangement that PopMatters magazine said "would make Jim Steinman blush".[3] Carlton said of the song: "It's about jealousy, it's about losing your virginity, it's about living on your own. It's a story that most people can relate to ... It's really the journey of one girl and her perception of her environment and how she starts out as a wide-eyed person, but everyone gets hardened by life, but not necessarily to the point where you can't feel anymore." She has also said it is about "rites of passage."[4] "White Houses" was the first song Carlton and Jenkins wrote together, and Lindsey Buckingham of the band Fleetwood Mac played acoustic guitar on the track after Jenkins met Buckingham, who was recording in the same building as Carlton, and invited him to listen to the song. Carlton said, "he just came in, played this great riff, recorded it and then he left. It all happened very fast, and turned out amazing." The song provided the inspiration for a charity project, Building White Houses. It began on November 9, 2004 and ended on December 31, 2005. Its aim was to raise money for Habitat for Humanity International.

The single reached number 86 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, though it peaked within the top 40 on Billboard's Top 40 Mainstream and Adult Top 40 charts. Slant magazine named it the sixth best single of 2004, writing: "[it's] the kind of song that truly cements a career ... poignant, bloody, fleeting, and beautiful, much like adolescence".[7] Blender magazine ranked "White Houses" at number 43 on its "100 Best Songs of 2004" list.[8] The song failed to chart in Japan, and in Taiwan, "Private Radio" was the album's first single. This remains Carlton's last appearance on the Hot 100 to date.

Carlton appeared to world-premiere the video on MTV's Total Request Live in the U.S. on August 11, 2004, and it debuted on VH1 on August 26.[10][11] MTV, VH1 and some radio stations censored the song because of its lyrics. Carlton later described the situation as "just, you know, frustrating sometimes because they can pick and choose, which I don't think is fair if you want to make a statement."[12] She attributed the censoring of the song to the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy involving Janet Jackson, which had occurred earlier that year.[13]

"White Houses" became the subject of a prank that Ashton Kutcher pulled on Carlton for the MTV television show Punk'd. During Carlton's rehearsal for a scheduled performance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in November 2004, Kutcher's Punk'd crewmembers (disguised as staff from The Tonight Show) said Carlton needed to change both the bridge of the song and the line "I'm too thin" (in light of the publicity surrounding Mary-Kate Olsen's bout of anorexia nervosa). Upon realisation that it was a trick, Carlton told Kutcher, "All I have to say is 'thank the fucking Lord.'" (She performed the original version of the song on The Tonight Show on November 18, 2004, and the Punk'd episode was aired in May 2005.)

Last year, the President presented Stevie Wonder with the 2nd Annual Library of Congress Gershwin Prize. The prize commemorates George and Ira Gershwin, the legendary American songwriting team whose extensive manuscript collections reside in the Library of Congress. The prize is awarded to musicians whose lifetime contributions in the field of popular song exemplify the standard of excellence associated with the Gershwins.

By April 1970, Johnny Cash had sold millions of records, performed before crowds of thousands of people, and started his own television show. He regularly wrote and performed songs for inmates, soldiers, Native Americans, and the poor. He crafted his own style of music, one which simultaneously entertained audiences and also proved meaningful. Johnny Cash was emblematic of American culture and appealed to the common people, bringing the country music genre to life with a bit of compassion.[2]

The other big news coming next week: the "last new Beatles song." The track, called Now and Then, will be released Nov. 2 and is made possible with help from AI, The Beatles said in an Instagram post.

It's "from the same batch of unreleased demos written and sung by the late John Lennon, "which were taken by his former bandmates to construct the songs 'Free As a Bird' and 'Real Love,' released in the mid-1990s," according to the Associated Press. While George Harrison, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr worked on Now and Then in the mid-'90s, they weren't able to finish the song for technical reasons.

Jackson was able to separate Lennon's original vocals from the late 1970s recording. "The much clearer vocals allowed McCartney and Starr to complete the track last year," the AP said, noting that. "There it was, John's voice, crystal clear," McCartney said in the announcement, according to the AP. "It's quite emotional. And we all play on it, it's a genuine Beatles recording. In 2023, to still be working on Beatles music, and about to release a new song the public haven't heard, I think it's quite an exciting thing."

This Tiny Desk Concert was a convergence of art and soul, mixing politics with heart. Common's choice of songs dealt with incarceration as the new slavery, imagined a time where women rule the world and honored the man he looked up to all his life, his father. For this occasion Common put together a special six-piece band of close friends that includes the great Robert Glasper, with his eloquent and delicate touch, on keyboards and Derrick Hodge, whose music spans from hip-hop to folk and has made a big imprint on the world of jazz, on bass. Common also asked his longtime friend and collaborator Bilal to sing on two songs. The performance includes three brand new songs, along with one classic, "I Used To Love H.E.R."

Common was born on Chicago's South Side and grew up in President Obama's city. His rap career began in the early 1990s, back when he was known as Common Sense, and he's always taken on big ideas without easy answers in his songs, from abortion to social justice to the legacy of hip-hop itself. 25 years later, morality and responsibility continue to play significant roles in his songs. In 2015, he won an Academy Award alongside the singer John Legend for their song "Glory" from the movie Selma.

A Nashville-based nonprofit that pairs veterans, active military members and their families with songwriters to help create personal songs for the servicemembers has been invited to the White House in Washington for a Veterans Day breakfast.

Local band In God We Trust and country artists Steven Cade and Brei Carter will perform. A Nashville songwriters in the round will also be part of the activities, and guitars signed by Dolly Parton and Tracy Lawrence will be auctioned.

The Chinese pianist Lang Lang performed a widely-known anti-American propaganda song during his performance at the White House's state dinner for Chinese President Hu Jintao last week, the Chinese-American newspaper Epoch Times reports.

"The movie and the tune are widely known among Chinese, and the song has been a leading piece of anti-American propaganda by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for decades," the Epoch Times reports."CCP propaganda has always referred to the Korean War as the 'movement to resist America and help [North] Korea.' The message of the propaganda is that the United States is an enemy--in fighting in the Korean War the United States' real goal was said to be to invade and conquer China. The victory at Triangle Hill was promoted as a victory over imperialists."

The newspaper further reports that the CCP very likely knew in advance that Lang Lang would play the anti-American song and that the pro-government Phoenix TV network even broadcast an interview with Lang Lang talking about playing the song shortly in advance of the actual performance.

"I thought to play 'My Motherland' because I think playing the tune at the White House banquet can help us, as Chinese people, feel extremely proud of ourselves and express our feelings through the song. I think it's especially good. Also, I like the tune in and of itself, every time I hear it I feel extremely moved," Lang Lang said in the interview.
