Love SQ :: Review by Chris

Love SQ Album Title: Love SQ
Record Label: Square Enix
Catalog No.: SQEX-10174
Release Date: November 25, 2009
Purchase: Buy at CDJapan

Love SQ is an album made for fans of Square's classic game music. It features ten arrangements of fan favourites from the Final Fantasy series, Chrono Trigger, Romancing SaGa, and Legend of Mana by arrangers such as PE'Z, Sexy-Synthesizer, and Square Enix's own muZik. While the track choices are good ones, what makes the album stand out are the diverse and creative approaches, with everything from big band jazz to synthpop to chiptunes to chillout music to piano arrangements being featured. In many ways, it's Square Enix's official response to all the fan arrangements out there. Though a mixed bag, the final result is quite enjoyable overall.

The majority of the electronic arrangements on Love SQ are impressive. To start off, livetune's interpretation of Chrono Trigger's "To Far Away Times" features surprisingly hard-edged beats, yet the moderate pacing, beautiful mixing, and treble frills are highly compatible with the original melodies. The resulting arrangement recaptures all the soothing, nostalgic, and uplifting qualities of the original theme, yet with an additional layer of dynamism. It's certainly a great way to send listeners back to Chrono Trigger's ending. The drum'n bass arrangement of the game's main theme is also quite enjoyable. Though the melody doesn't initially compatible with the beats, Novoiski seems to find the correct direction around the 1:45 mark and recaptures all the buoyancy and melodiousness of the original in an entirely different setting. It's also delightful to hear the Yoko Shimomura's Legend of Mana score be revisited by Square Enix's synthesizer operators here. Most of the arrangement features very mellow electronic soundscapes only broken up by the occasional chiptune or novelty effect. However, the melodic focus ensures it is still a winner. It's impressive how the team manage to unite "Theme of Mana" and "Hometown of Domina" in such a fluid and lyrical manner. What's more, this arrangement preserves the tranquil even without the organic instrumentation of the original.

There is also a chiptune influence on some arrangements on the album. Final Fantasy III's "Eternal Wind (Migratory Birds Mix)" is bound to bring back memories of muZik's interpretation on the Final Fantasy III Original Soundtrack with its blend of catchy chiptunes and punchy beats. However, DE DE MOUSE goes quite a bit further by incorporating ululations from a female vocalist. This inclusion was intended to capture the worldly influence of the overworld theme, but I'm not convinced it inspires much imagery at least in conjunction with the chiptunes. Nevertheless, listeners are still left with an interesting fusion for their ears and many will like the intended effect. Such 'out there' arrangements are usually only found in the fan arrangement scene, but it's pleasing that Square Enix producers were daring enough to release this one. Even more enjoyable is the 8-bit interpretation of two of Chrono Trigger's "Fanfare 1" and "Frog's Theme". Though one of the most straightforward tracks on the album, it's a clear winner since Sexy-Synthesizer combines two of the game's catchiest themes with an even greater rhythmical impetus. Two particularly great moments are the dramatic lead-in to "Frog's Theme" at 0:52 and the particularly dashing interpretation of its melody from 1:49.

The jazzy arrangements are likely to split listeners even more. Most notably, the big band interpretation of the Final Fantasy main theme at the start of the album isn't entirely compatible with the melody. Following a solo piano introduction, PE'Z makes a bold jazzy statement with bustling trumpet parts, driving hi-hats, and charismatic saxophone lines. Unfortunately, the arrangement becomes obnoxious when it moves away from the new material to recount the actual melody at 1:18. While I appreciate the intention, the melody sounds out-of-place and ugly when presented by the brash trumpets and saxes here. Fortunately, there are enough original sections and improvisation sections to redeem it, including a serene interlude at the 3:54 mark and a jazzy piano passage shortly before the conclusion at 5:54. Good Luck Heiwa's "Chocobo" theme also takes a jazzy approach, but has a much more laidback mood. Some sections have a very modern feel, with acoustic jazz being mixed with electronic overtones, but the use of the Hammond organ creates a more nostalgic feel in a couple of sections. If that wasn't enough, some random electronic noise and boingy folk influences are featured in other parts of the arrangement, but sound out-of-place. Though the arrangement captures the spirit of the theme well, the hybridised approach will split listeners.

Towards the end of the album, there is a medley of some of Romancing SaGa's favourites. Note Native combines faithful and catchy interpretations of melodies such as "The Conflict" and "Coup de Grace" with deeper original sections such as at 0:51 and 1:31. The final result is reminiscent of one of the high emotion club remixes often featured at the end of long nights. The section from 2:52 is especially tear jerking and surprisingly affecting for a remix album. Less impressive is Pia-no-jac's piano-based medley of the Final Fantasy battle themes "Clash at the Big Bridge", "Dancing Mad", and "One Winged Angel", which captures everything I dislike about fan-oriented piano arrangements. It features brash and rushed performances of each of the three pieces in conjunction with abrupt transitions, unpianistic octave leaps, and even some random shouting. Those who like the performances of Piano Squall or Martin Leung will find this one fine, but I'm more of a fan of the more artistically inclined Final Fantasy Piano Collections. To round off the album, no.9 interprets the "Prelude" by blending acoustic and electronic components. The intended mellow and dreamy effect isn't quite produced due to the amateurish production values. The flute lead, cello countermelodies, and random percussion parts are just too poorly synthesized to enhance the atmosphere while the electronic elements could have been better arranged too. The result is mediocre.

Clearly Love SQ is a very mixed effort. Some arrangements such as "Frog's Theme", Legend of Mana, and Romancing SaGa are both inspired yet true to the original material, but many others have potential flaws: the Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger main themes don't entirely suit their solid arrangements, the unconventional "Chocobo" and "Eternal Wind" interpretations are bound to be select tastes, and the "Prelude" and piano medley sound even more amateurish than most fan productions. Listeners certainly won't find Love SQ a consistent or cohesive experience, but perhaps it was never intended for this purpose. Instead Square Enix have provided a diverse and set of fan-targeted arrangements using popular source material. Few fans are likely to like the whole album and thus it might be best to avoid purchasing a physical copy. However, those willing to use iTunes can easily sample the arrangements here and find several favouritres that might make it to their playlists. That said, I expect those favourites will vary drastically from fan-to-fan.

Overall Score: 7/10

4 Lessons Learned from 2014 Ed Tech Failures

Tech failures STICKERI recently found an article called 4 Lessons from K-12 Ed Tech Failures of 2014. (It’s good to hear that I’m not the only one who occasionally fails!). The educational use of technology evolves, grows and improves just as the technology itself. But growth does come with bumps and bruises. This was a quick easy read, but in case you’re crazy pressed for time, here are the four lessons shared in the article:

  1. Plan for digital initiatives centered around the learner, not the device
  2. Bring all learning initiatives under the umbrella of digital transformation
  3. Put privacy protections in place for student data
  4. Find sustainable ways to fund digital projects

Have you ever had an ed tech failure? What did you learn from it? Comment below!

Far-right Jerusalem march tests new Israeli government

Police blocked roads in Jerusalem on Tuesday as Jewish ultranationalists prepared to march through the city’s annexed east, inflaming tensions amid a fragile Gaza ceasefire and just two days after a new Israeli government took office.

Rallies by far-right Jewish groups in Arab neighbourhoods have raised tensions in recent months, prompting a police intervention in the Al-Aqsa mosque compound last month that triggered the deadliest flare-up of Israeli-Palestinian violence since 2014.

The so-called March of the Flags celebrates the anniversary of Jerusalem’s “re-unification” after Israel captured the city’s east in the 1967 Six Day War.

The demonstration was originally scheduled for early May, but organisers cancelled it after police redirected the route to avoid Damascus Gate, a key entrance for Arab residents of east Jerusalem.

A new march was set for last Thursday but was delayed due to Israeli police opposition to the route and warnings from Gaza’s Islamist rulers Hamas.

The government of outgoing premier Benjamin Netanyahu last week delayed the march until Tuesday, a time confirmed late Monday by the incoming government of Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.

The government said organisers had consulted police on the best route for the march, scheduled to begin at 1430 GMT.

It was planned to halt at Damascus Gate but not enter the Old City there, taking another route that avoids the Muslim Quarter before arriving at the Wailing Wall, a holy site for Jews.

“The right to demonstrate is a right in all democracies,” said the newly sworn-in Internal Security Minister Omer Bar-Lev.

“The police is ready and we will do everything in our power to preserve the delicate thread of coexistence.”

Palestinian prime minister Mohammad Shtayyeh condemned it as a provocation, while an alliance of Palestinian armed groups including Hamas called for a “day of rage” to defend Jerusalem.

“We warn of the dangerous repercussions that may result from the occupying power’s intention to allow extremist Israeli settlers to carry out the Flag March in occupied Jerusalem tomorrow,” Shtayyeh tweeted in English on Monday.

He said it was “a provocation and aggression against our people, Jerusalem and its sanctities that must end”.

By Tuesday afternoon, militants in Gaza had sent incendiary balloons over the border, with Israeli public radio reporting 15 fires in the Negev desert as a result.

Islamic Jihad activist Abu Hudhayfa said the balloons were aimed “to warn the occupation against harming the Al-Aqsa Mosque or launching its march towards Al-Aqsa Mosque.”

The new Israeli premier is himself a Jewish nationalist but the coalition he leads also includes centrist and left-wing parties and, for the first time in the country’s history, an Arab party.

The support of the four lawmakers of the Islamic conservative Raam party was vital to the wafer-thin majority that the government won in a historic confidence vote that unseated Netanyahu on Sunday.

– ‘Very fragile’ –

UN Middle East peace envoy Tor Wennesland urged all sides to behave responsibly to avoid damage to a hard-won May 21 ceasefire that ended 11 days of heavy fighting in and around Gaza.

“Tensions are rising again in Jerusalem at a very fragile & sensitive security & political time, when UN & Egypt are actively engaged in solidifying the ceasefire,” Wennesland said, urging all parties “to act responsibly and avoid any provocations.”

The US embassy told its staff to avoid entering the walled Old City in the heart of east Jerusalem because of the march and “possible counter-demonstrations”.

Israel’s annexation of east Jerusalem since the Six-Day War of 1967 is not recognised by most of the international community which says the city’s final status should be a matter of negotiation between the two sides.

The Palestinians claim the city’s east as the capital of their future state.

The iconic Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the heart of the Old City is Islam’s third holiest site and a national symbol for all Palestinians regardless of religion.

It is also Judaism’s holiest site, although by longstanding convention Jews are not allowed to pray inside the compound. Visits by Israeli Jewish politicians often trigger violence.

– Hamas warning –

When the march was originally announced for last week, senior Hamas official Khalil Hayya warned it could spark a return to violence like that of May 10-21.

Hamas spokesman Mohammed Hamadeh said Tuesday that mediators had been in contact with Palestinian armed groups in recent days to appeal to them “not to engage in a military escalation on the basis of the march.”

“All options remain on the table, however,” the spokesman added.

Last month’s conflict started after Hamas issued a deadline for Israel to remove its security forces from flashpoint areas of east Jerusalem, and then fired a salvo of rockets at Israel when the ultimatum went unheeded.

Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip between May 10 and 21 killed 260 Palestinians including some fighters, the Gaza authorities said.

In Israel, 13 people were killed, including a soldier, by rockets and missiles fired from Gaza, the police and army said.

Granddaughter's dresser

Granddaughter's dresser

Maker: August Baert

Location: Edmonton, Alberta

I built this dresser for my granddaughter. It was made out of solid oak. The drawers are made with half blind dovetails. It has a secret compartment at the top and you use a magnet to open. The sides of the dresser are raised panel. It was made using a Festool domino tool, dominos and glue. The only place I used brads was to hold the secret compartment bottom.

New Grateful Dead live release to feature songs from scrapped final album

Ready or Not arrives in November

The Grateful Dead circa 1991
The Grateful Dead circa 1991

    A new Grateful Dead live album called Ready or Not is set to hit shelves next month. The collection features previously unreleased recordings by the group’s final lineup before the death of Jerry Garcia in 1995.

    Ready or Not was put together by Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux, according to Rolling Stone. There are nine tracks altogether, including “Liberty”, recorded in New York in 1994, and “Way to Go Home” from an Indiana concert in 1992.

    The iconic band’s lineup at the time — singer/guitarist Garcia, drummer Mickey Hart, drummer Bill Kreutzmann, bassist Phil Lesh, singer/guitarist Bob Weir, and keyboardist Vince Welnick — intended to record studio versions of these songs for a proper album. However, the project was scrapped in the wake of Garcia’s passing.

    (Read: The Grateful Dead in 10 Songs)

    Ready Or Not has been a long time coming,” Lemieux said in a statement. “It’s an album we’ve been working on for many, many years. This batch of ‘new’ Grateful Dead songs has never been compiled in one place and given its proper due as a huge part of the Dead’s late-era legacy.” He continued,

    “Many of these songs can easily stand alongside some of the Dead’s oldest, most-loved songs as bona fide classics despite their short tenure in the repertoire. We’ve dug deep into the archive and listened to countless live versions of these songs to find the best, most definitive live performances. When the Grateful Dead were ‘on’ in their later years, their live concerts were as good as any era in their history. The nine songs on Ready Or Not exemplify how good the Dead could be in their later years of touring.”

    Ready or Not officially arrives November 22nd and is available for pre-order. It’s being teased with a live recording of “Lazy River Road” from 1993. Listen in below.

    Today’s news comes just a few short weeks after the death of Grateful Dead lyricist and poet Robert Hunter. Later this month, Grateful Dead offshoot Dead & Company will hit the road for a North American tour. Grab tickets here.

Day 10 Wreath

Day 10 is all about patterns and rainbows.

Die cut wreath with Gina K.

I think anyone who is a Gina K Designs follower will recognize the placement of any wreath made using the wreath builder. I followed her directions today and made the die cut wreath. The dies I used are SU dies that recently retired, so I picked them up for half the original price. This shows one of the leaf dies. I used the colors that Gina used making an 8 color rainbow. My greeting came from a Paper Smooches set. I enjoyed creating with Gina’s ideas.

9 thoughts on “Day 10 Wreath

    1. Thank you! This is a first with all die cuts for the wreath. If I really worked hard, I may have found a die for the center, but went with a stamp. Always fun to do something different.

    1. Thank you! I loved Gina’s lesson. I always like her lessons as she is so easy to understand and I often have the same product or something similar.

  1. That turned put great. I had never thought of using die cuts with the wreath builder before I watched the video.

Observer: A happy ending

Oct. 26, 2022, 6:25 p.m.

Benjamin Midler’s column “Observer” seeks the long view. It sometimes comes up short.

I thought that, when the time came to actually write this column, I’d know what to say. That, through the mist of my final year as an undergraduate, I would find the clarity to describe this feeling. No such luck.

Being a senior isn’t as I expected — not that I thought about it much as an underclassman. It was simply something I assumed would happen, but it was far enough away to not be bothersome, like colonoscopies. It’s here now, though, and it is a curious mix of serendipity and melancholy.

Perhaps this is a familiar feeling for others in the class of 2023, or to those who took a gap year or are co-terming, the feeling of walking around a familiar campus but not feeling like this is your Stanford.

When we arrived over three years ago, we were thrust into a dynamic culture and came to believe that this is how things are. Eurotrash was the first week of Fall, Nomad the last. EVGR was a curiosity that bordered our awareness, and people remembered when the football team was good. The band was fun.

Over the ensuing years, things changed gradually but seemingly all at once. To the bulk of students today, Stanford’s center of mass has dramatically shifted east. Gossip spreads on Fizz rather than the Missed Connections Instagram page, and everyone’s on TikTok. Well, nearly everyone: I learn of new TikTok trends by reading about them in the Washington Post.

Capgras syndrome is a neurological condition characterized by a disconnect between the literal and emotional aspects of identifying faces. Capgras patients are able to recognize the faces of loved ones but lack the accompanying emotional salience. As a result, they often believe friends and family are imposters, strangers wearing their faces.

I feel the same wandering around campus and talking with current freshmen and sophomores. I recognize this place, but something feels off, something I struggle to make concrete, yet it is unavoidable. There’s a bike lane on Santa Teresa, and the library closes early. Everyone rides scooters now, and students bemoan the administration’s “war on fun.” Someone put a churro outside the law school.

Perhaps a naive belief that nothing would change is catching up with me, or perhaps I’m being left behind. I inherited a Stanford that, no doubt, seemed like an imposter to the seniors at the time. Now it does to me.

Some things never change. ASSU is still passing non-binding resolutions in support of progressive causes, and everyone is a CS major. These are small comforts, but I still think about them as I walk around Main Quad and sit at the same bench I did several years ago.

Perhaps this is hubris. We step on campus with a sense of ownership, destined to leave with a mild forlornness.

Then again, perhaps not. As I sit at that same bench by the Quad, I recognize more people walking and biking past — the product of several years of classes and clubs. I’ll wave, and sometimes they’ll sit, striking up a conversation about the things that never change, about the things that have and, now, about the future.

Our hopes and plans morph over the course of our four years, honed by being here. Vague intentions give way to firm commitments. Acquiescence to external pressure is replaced by vim for newfound passions. Even those who tore up their four, five or ten year plans and now stare down uncertainty do so with the satisfaction of knowing that returning to square one is more desirable than heading down the wrong path.

Stanford is a fast-moving stream, but we’re not rocks caught in the middle. The current moves us as we do it, and with it we learn of new possibilities and about ourselves.

An English teacher once told me that being embarrassed by our past work is a good sign, it means we’ve improved since then. There’s a broader principle here. Reflecting, I know I would make different choices, wouldn’t have fallen prey to the same mistakes.

Has Stanford changed, or have I?

Finding an ending is difficult. I am ill-qualified to give advice yet am similarly disinterested in expositing on personal experiences. They’re of little use to you. I’m grasped by the thought that this is part of growing up — or simply of growing. Growing up implies an end.

Perhaps the most powerful realization is that, if something can change, then it can be changed. There’s liberty in that, in knowing that purposefulness bears fruit. It’s what I plan to take with me as I grow into my final year here and the many that will follow. I have no expectations, only hopes.

Posts Tagged ‘Matt Cross’

This coming weekend on Saturday, June 29 in Rauma, Finland, I’m one of the main organizers behind the biggest, international pro wrestling supershow in the Nordics of Europe this summer: Wrestle Aid 2019!

Womens Triple Threat RAUMA

With top professional wrestlers from nine different countries worldwide, this event is arguably – even on paper alone – the most significant show of its kind on a continental level.

“The Japanese Buzzsaw” Yoshihiro Tajiri and Meiko Satomura from Japan, Matt Cross from the USA, Ivelisse Veléz from Puerto Rico, Scotty Davis from Ireland, Jurn Simmons from Holland, Sadie Gibbs from England, Mikk Vainula from Estonia and Carlos Zamora from Spain join a host of Finnish professionals to bring you Wrestle Aid.  Oh, and in case you are wondering, Yours Truly represents my home country of Canada at this big event.

With seven matches on the card and two gigantic, intercontinental main events on the menu, Wrestle Aid offers something for everyone, and especially action and thrills for the whole family.

Part of ticket proceeds will be going to the Finnish Muscular Dystrophy Association, Lihastautiliitto, to help patients with ALS and Duschenne muscular dystrophy to take part in wheelchair sports while their condition still warrants it.  This is a great cause and you really can make a difference by being an active part of it live!

Tag Match RAUMA

The event will be held outdoors under the Finnish blue sky at Potkur shopping center on the rooftop of the establishment in the western coastal city of Rauma, Finland this coming Saturday, June 29.  Tickets can be purchased through Ticketmaster in Finland so get yours now and come out to see the greatest live action spectacle in Earth!

Tickets can be purchased HERE.

For those of you who might have missed it, I was on my old buddy Chris Jericho’s Talk is Jericho podcast recently.  You can check out the whole episode HERE!

Talk is Jericho

Also, I’ve got some huge news for you all!  The next super-spectacular SLAM! Wrestling Finland event happens on June 29 this summer on the West Coast of Finland in Rauma.  It’s called Wrestle Aid 2019 and part of the proceeds are going to the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation (Lihastautiliitto Ry) in Finland to help those with ALS and Duschenne Muscular Dystrophy to partake in sports while their situation still warrants it.

It’s a fantastic cause, and you certainly should be supporting this big event and the ethical framework of its intent.  We’ve got top wrestlers coming in from eight different countries for Wrestle Aid: TAJIRI from Japan, Ivelisse from Puerto Rico, Matt Cross from the USA, Jurn Simmons from Holland, Chris Ridgeway and Sadie Gibbs from England, Shanna from Portugal and several others are slated to appear in action on June 29 at the biggest, international pro wrestling mega-event of the summer in the Nordics of Europe!

Starting Point playlist for Thursday, March 22, 2012

Kicking off today's Starting Point playlist is "Fantasy" by Mariah Carey. The 1995 song was Carey's ninth number one single. She currently sits at second place on a all time list, behind only The Beatles.

Scottish group Camera Obscura made their Starting Point debut today with "The Sweetest Thing." The song, from The New Yorker's Ryan Lizza's playlist, can be found on their 2009 album My Maudlin Career.

The Dropkick Muphys' "I'm Shipping Up To Boston" was Will Cain's first pick today. The song is often associated with Boston sports teams, especially after the Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics and Bruins all won championships in the past decade.

John Fugelsang's first pick today was "He Got Game" by rap group Public Enemy. The song was part of the soundtrack to the Spike Lee film of the same name, which starred Denzel Washington and, speaking of the Celtics, their current shooting guard Ray Allen.

One of our guests today was actor/singer/model Tyrese Gibson, who brought along a few of his own hits for our playlist. "Sweet Lady," a hit from 1999, reached number twelve on the Billboard Hot 100. He also picked "I Like Them Girls," another big hit from 2000, as well as "Nothing on You," his most recent single.

Soledad's next pick this morning was "Rock wit U," a huge hit for Ashanti in 2003. She also picked "Pressure" by Billy Joel, which he recorded exactly thirty years ago this spring.

Lizza's next pick was "Lit Up" by The National. The song can be found on their well-received 2005 album Alligator.

My Chemical Romance's "Welcome to the Black Parade" was Will Cain's next song choice today. The 2006 hit is the band's most successful release to date. It cracked the top ten in the U.S. and hit number one in the U.K.

Starting Point guest Michelle Rhee picked "Chasing Pavements" by Adele for this morning's show. The song is from Adele's first album 19, and it won a Grammy Award for Best Female pop Vocal in 2009.

Eddie Money's "Take My Home Tonight" rounds out Soldead's playlist today. The song was a big hit in the mid-eighties, reaching number four of the Hot 100.

"I Can Love You Better" by the Dixie Chicks was Will Cain's next pick today. The single, released in 1997, was the band's first song with current lead singer Natalie Maines.

Finally, Soledad's last pick today was Blue Öyster Cult's classic rock song "(Don't Fear) The Reaper." The song is widely considered a classic, and was included in Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

    I know Soledad was not on Friday but one of the guest's playlist had a Bob Marley tune I had never heard and I liked. Could you e-mail or post Friday's playlists? Just interested in the Marley tune.

    On a separate note, Will Cain stepped over the line again this morning. Mr. Zimmerman confessed to killing Trayvon Martin, shouldn't he be arrested? Arrest him so he can have a trial to prove his innocence.

Magixx throws subtle shade at Ruger, calls his new songs “bullshi*t”

After referring to songs that were released last week as “noise”, Nigerian singer, Ruger gets served in his own coin.

Mavin singer, Magixx takes to Twitter to bare his thoughts about Ruger’s new songs that got released on Tuesday, 15th November 2022.

As stated by Magixx, he expected better from Ruger and went on to refer to his new songs as “bullsh*t”.

This comes after Ruger tagged Wizkid’s Album, Asake and Tiwa Savage’s Loaded, and other songs that premiered last week as “noise”.

He wrote:

“I just hear the bullshit wey drop yesterday, I’m highly disappointed bro, I was expecting better”

Sunday Shopping for the Book Addict

It’s raining outside, and the lure of the internet and online shopping calls …

But what to buy on this lazy, rainy, Sunday?

Well, after ordering a generous helping of books – pre-reading for the MA course I’m starting in September – I head on over to

The Literary Gift Company site is a gorgeous treasure trove of wonderful (and often rather random) literary related items.

Today, one in particular caught my eye.  This lovely bag featuring a well-known Borges’ quote is eye-catching, cheeky, and also includes a donation to the National Libraries Day cause.  And at £5 it’s a bargain!

Happy Sunday!

    What a great site, never seen it before. I can see a lot of gift buying from it! Thanks for sharing it. Good blog too, I love reading reviews of crime almost as much as the books themselves.

Music and Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz
Book by Winnie Holzman

We don’t expect the stock-and-amateur licensing rights for WICKED to become available in the United States for some time, since they are generally not made available until after the Broadway production has closed. If all continues to go well with the Broadway production, stock-and-amateur licensing is likely several years away.

No One Mourns The Wicked
Dear Old Shiz
The Wizard And I

Which Way’s the Party (Cut)
I’m Not That Girl
One Short Day
A Sentimental Man
Defying Gravity
Thank Goodness
As Long As You’re Mine
No Good Deed
March Of The Witch Hunters
For Good

The untold musical story of The Wizard of Oz’s Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good. WICKED looks at what happened in the Land of Oz… but from a different angle. Before Dorothy arrives, there is another girl, born with emerald-green skin-smart, misunderstood, and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships… until the world decides to call one “good,” and the other one “wicked.”

In order to record one of the songs from WICKED, you will need to obtain a mechanical license.  In the case of WICKED only (and not Stephen’s other music), a mechanical license can be obtained by sending your request via email to schwartz@sdra.com or by calling 212-832-2055.

At this point, we are unaware of any plans to make the complete WICKED score available.  If that should change, we will post an announcement on this site.

CONCERT OF WICKED (Only 3 songs allowed)

Permission: The producers of the show have asked Stephen Schwartz to permit no more than THREE (3) songs from WICKED to be performed in any single event; therefore, a concert version of all the music from WICKED cannot be allowed at this time. You or your group may perform up to three songs without further permission. However, there is a royalty fee to be paid to ASCAP: You must also check with your performance venue to confirm whether or not it has already been licensed for ASCAP (or, if not in the USA, with the licensing agency in your country to see if they have a reciprocal relationship with ASCAP). If the venue is already set up for this, you don’t need to pay a fee, but if not, you need to contact us at schwartz@sdra.com with “Concert” in the subject heading.

We are only allowed to send out a few songs for special circumstances. (We have received a lot of requests from people asking for every song in the show). Stephen Schwartz states this very clearly in his “note from the composer” in the front of the songbook:  “In special circumstances, when someone needs a song in the original show format, that can be obtained by emailing me at…” If you have a special need and would like PDF files of a song in its original format, please email us with an explanation of your circumstances and list the song title you are requesting in the subject line.

Arranged by Stephen Schwartz and William David Brohn
Movements: No One Mourns the Wicked – March of the Witch Hunters – No Good Deed – As Long As You’re Mine – Popular – For Good – Defying Gravity
Licensing: Please follow this link: WICKED: A Fable for Orchestra

“By my moving in a chandelier-tutu through a squatter camp being demolished, and filming it, I’m creating a digital painting of a social reality, half beautifully imagined, half horribly real. ”

Steven Cohen

Chandelier‘s work reveals through performance art, dance and film, the contradictions between Europe and Africa, white and black, rich and poor, shadow and light, the private and the public, the strong and the oppressed, security and danger.

Jonathan Fields is a “doer.” He doesn’t just “talk the walk.” He lives it. Jonathan is a lifestyle-entrepreneur, a blogger at and, a marketing consultant, a speaker and the author of Career Renegade: How to Make a Great Living Doing What You Love.

SP: This series is about the creative process: how an artist works and what techniques he or she uses to tap into that mysterious flow. For a writer of fiction, say, that process is (probably) internal and takes place in isolation. What about an entrepreneurial thinker and doer like yourself? Do you find your ideas being generated more collectively, in collaboration with others, or is the process internal and self-contained for you too? Where do your ideas come from?

JF: My ideas often come from my own experience in the world. At least, that’s how they begin. Instead of forming characters around them as some fiction writers do, though, I tend to see problems or gaps and look for ways to solve or fill them. Sometimes it’s with a tangible business solution. Other times, it’s through creating some vehicle to share knowledge, which often takes the form of a blog post, a lecture, an article or a book.

My process tends to germinate in solitude, but once gifted with momentum, varies it’s path based on what I’m creating. For example, when I’m blogging, that entire process, from idea to publication, comes from me. Push that to a book and ideas and stories come from me and from those I interview, but the final creation is shaped by the editors, designers and even the early input from major booksellers. When I paint, that’s all me. But, when I write music, the hook or the chorus or the words might come from me, but then the entire piece takes shape in a more collaborative jam session. And, it’s that way for the businesses I’ve built, too. I create the essence, the idea, but it takes a team to not only execute, but shape the final output.

Fun, grueling, all-consuming, soaring, spinning, crashing, burning; it’s all part of the mix. When I’m working in solitude and really in a groove, it’s like nothing else though. Time fugues and—thankfully—because I work at home, I have my family to pull me back out and remind me of all the other amazing people to be played with and things to be done.

SP: In your book Career Renegade, you urge salaried workers to find their inner renegade—the person they’d love to be, the work they’d love to do—and go for it. Quit that cubicle! Follow your bliss! My question is: what percentage of people have that elusive entrepreneurial gene? Are some people just more comfortable working nine-to-five? How can a person tell if they’re cut out for walking the high wire?

JF: One of the questions I’ve been asked a lot since Career Renegade came out is: “Could you ever see yourself working for someone else?” And, to the surprise of many (after more than a decade as an entrepreneur), my answer is yes. Because it’s not so much about being an entrepreneur, it’s about having certain essential qualities present in whatever I do.

I actually listed those qualities in a blog post titled, “The Renegade Employee: Coming Alive with a J-O-B” a few months back. What most people don’t know is, I wrote that post because, at the time, I was being pursued fairly aggressively by a company that seemed to have some real synergies and I needed to revisit what I really cared about.

So, it’s not about whether you should or shouldn’t be an entrepreneur, it’s about your willingness to identify your own essential working qualities and experiences, the ones that allow you to come alive, then integrate them into anything you do.

No doubt, that’s easier to pull off as an entrepreneur because you have more control. If you’re more comfortable working within the culture and structure provided by an employer, though, your task becomes to find a company with the greatest possible alignment with your essential qualities. Or, if you’re already in a job, look to find the gaps between the qualities that make you come alive and the qualities that define your current job and see if you can begin to systematically close those gaps.

SP: In The Fire Fly Manifesto, you cite a wonderful quote from Kierkegaard: “Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom.” What do you mean by that—and how does it apply to aspiring writers, artists and entrepreneurs?

JF: Many Eastern philosophies look at life as some form of suffering, but when you dig deeper, you often find it’s not so much life, but rather life defined by the quest for certainty. And, I tend to agree. We’re more or less organically drawn to seek certainty or, to use another word, security. But certainty can never be had. Ever. It’s one of the few universal truths. A life chasing something that can never be had, then, often leads to a lot of suffering.
What Kierkegaard, and many Eastern teachings, were saying is that embracing uncertainty is a key element to not only relieving suffering, but freeing up a certain amount of mental, emotional and spiritual energy to bring more of what makes life truly juicy into each day.

He’s saying free-will brings uncertainty, which leads to anxiety—and that’s not a bad thing.

Most people strive to squash the anxiety, the uncertainty, but when you do that, you also smother a certain amount of freedom and creation. Buddhists, and I’m guessing Kierkegaard, would say, rather than kill freedom in a quest for certainty, learn to dance with it.

How does this apply to aspiring writers, artists and entrepreneurs? It’s at the core of what we do. Being driven by the process of creation is by definition pushing into the realm of the unknown in a quest to give life to something that didn’t exist before. You never know if it will work or not until you do it. You can try to plan, to protect, to take steps to minimize uncertainty, but you never completely eliminate it. Living with that is just one of the costs of creating.

Which leaves the question, “how to you dance with uncertainty? How do you get comfortable with it?” My biggest breakthroughs, best lines, greatest imagery have come when I’ve struggled with a challenge, worked really hard, then stepped away and gave my subconscious mind the space to “let the answer come.”

So I’ll go workout, walk or ride in the woods, play my guitar or switch to another activity that allows me to leave the task completely behind. The more I let go, the faster the answers come.

A lot of creatives would be exceptionally well served by developing some kind of stilling practice, be it mindfulness, meditation, solo walks in the woods. Over time, these practices help us breathe through the anxiety of creation more easily.

SP: There’s another terrific, very short section in The Fire Fly Manifesto, called “Master Your Mind.” You’re speaking there, if I understand you correctly, about the attributes of self-discipline and self-command that an artist or entrepreneur needs to succeed in the big, bad world of Being On Your Own. I know that you, Jonathan, have been a yoga instructor and have a background in fitness and personal training. What “mastering your mind” wisdom can you impart to us from those disciplines? Can you expand a little on this subject?

JF: Part of it is about what you talk about in The War of Art—sitting down and committing to be a professional, to moving into and working though, rather than running from your Resistance. The other part is what I was talking about in my answer to your question about anxiety and freedom—building a series of daily practices into your day that set you up to function on a higher level.

On my blog, I’m actually one post into a three-part series called “Going Renegade: Daily Practices That Fuel Epic Journeys,” which explores these daily practices. But, the short version is that small changes in the way we set up our days compound over time to yield profound improvements in not only our ability to create, but to live well in the world.

Meditation or, for that matter, any kind of stillness-oriented, relaxation-response practice, doesn’t just calm your mind while you’re “in it.” There’s now a significant volume of research that shows it also improves cognitive function, problem solving and creativity throughout the day. And it reduces something called “attentional blink,” having the net effect of literally allowing you to see what others miss.

It’s not easy to bring practices like this into your daily routine. Not because you don’t have the time, we all do. Rather, because they’re hard to master and the benefits are not immediate. And most people have a hard time owning practices built on a foundation of delayed gratification. Fact is, mindset practices are a bit like playing an instrument or learning to paint or write. We all suck at first. We’re meant to. And much of the early work isn’t fun. But, we’re not in it for the early work. We’re in it for where it’s leading us.

I make a daily commitment. It’s different for each project. But, because my Resistance tends to come in the form of distraction, when it comes time to create in earnest, I’ll often find a place without a Wi-Fi signal, leave my broadband card and my phone behind and set aside time to create.
This is especially important, because though I tend to be very disciplined, over the last few years as a blogger and social media person, I’ve developed a near addiction to the connection. It’s like a digital umbilical cord. And, that’s actually something that’s begun to bother me. At some point, I’ll probably do a bunch of ePruning. But, for now, changing my physical environment to eliminate the temptation of distraction works pretty well.

SP: Like Seth Godin, you have a great feel and terrific knowledge about the new web-and-tribe way of book marketing—and you used it to great effect marketing your own book, Career Renegade. People think it’s easy, but it isn’t, is it? It requires a helluva lot of work behind the scenes. Can you tell us a little about that? It isn’t just cleverness and web-savvy-ness, is it?

JF: You’re right, it takes a boatload of work. I run Tribal Author Camps that teach authors and aspiring authors how to market their books in a world that’s changing almost too quickly to keep up with. And, on the info-page, I’m very up front about the effort it takes to do it well. In fact, I flat out say:

If you’re looking for a quick-n-easy, work-free fix, go away. This will take some serious time and some serious work (though, it’ll cost you very little)…If all you want to do is write, then step aside and let your publisher do all the marketing without being “troubled” to hustle like crazy to make your book a success…stay far, far away. In fact, you may also want to hone your table-waiting skills while you’re at it. Like it or not, the simple fact is the publishing industry has changed in a huge way. And, if you’re not willing to participate in marketing your book, don’t expect anyone else to step up, either.

Writers love to write. I get that, I’m one of them. Though, I’m also that odd bird who loves to market, because marketing is really just the psychology of action and persuasion and I’m fascinated by what makes people tick and act.

And, here’s where Seth and I are very much on the same page, too: Marketing isn’t about writing a “decent” book, then hustling and spending to make it sell. Marketing starts from the moment you write your first word on your first page. It begins with a commitment to create something mind-blowing, remarkable and impactful. That burden terrifies some people, but it is what it is.

The more remarkable you make your final work, the easier it’ll be to light a match, then fan the flames a bit and watch it roar. The less remarkable your work, the more you’ll have to stand over it with a flamethrower and keep refilling the tank…and even then, it may snuff itself out the moment you step away.

    What a great interview! I’ve been on the fringes of Jonathan’s influence for a while now. Loosely following his influence online, but after this interview it’s obvious I’m missing out.

    The ‘drive for certainty’ dialogue is completely true, and although it’s something I talk to my athlete clients about – I always see it popping up in my own life, as well.

    Thanks for sharing.

Truth in Advertising

9 04 2010

Holding onto the glimmer of hope that someone’s summer collection will be baggy enough for me to wear (as I’m almost past the point of just buying bigger clothes as they bigger in the tummy AND every place else), I still scour the ads.

When work out clothes are advertised, the model is doing something athletic; “running”, “yoga”, holding a weight…

However, when lingerie is shown, no one is getting laid or seducing someone (in the ad), they’re typically laughing…
Jammies are hardly ever worn in bed, and not by someone covered in drool with half of their hair matted to their face….
Babies are never covered in spit or vomit or screaming…
Sandals aren’t shown on the beach where the sand gets in the toe area and creates blisters…
Liquor never shows the morning after where you consider chewing your arm off as that 10 has become an 01.

Okay reader(s), tell me, if you had to truthfully advertise something, how would you do it.

Truth in advertising, although cool, would sell very little product.

I’m certain I’d lie my arse off and exaggerate like mad!

Corve DaCosta

I would sell it with fantasy.

9 04 2010

Not to sure..the things that are advertised never look the same on the size 16 person as they do on the size 00 model.
perhaps some truth would finally sell things. The laugh alone should prompt people to get it just for the fun of it.
those new Sketchers are certainly not truth in advertising…it’s like walking on foam all day. very unstable and definitely an ankle breaker.

This was hard. I was trying to come up with something really creative, but the only thing that stuck in my head was the fact that they never show stupid drivers when advertising new cars.

Although maybe when they show the new cars driving on a ‘closed road’, they are in fact encouraging people to drive stupid. I dunno 😦

Pandemic Parenting

by Joshua Duvauchelle

Pandemic Parenting

It’s seems like an eternity since Canada reported its first COVID-19 case in January. Today, we’re slowly returning to a “new normal.” This season has been heartbreaking and stressful, especially for children who can’t fully comprehend what’s happening. With the right tools, parents and caregivers can navigate kids through our pandemic reality.

The case for kids

According to the daily epidemiology update from the Public Health Agency of Canada on May 21, 2020, kids have made up approximately 6 percent of Canada’s COVID-19 cases. “Physically, children seem to be largely spared,” says Dr. Abigail Gewirtz, the director of the Institute for Translational Research in Children’s Mental Health and author of When the World Feels Like a Scary Place: Essential Conversations for Anxious Parents and Worried Kids.

“But research suggests the pandemic has had a significant impact on their mental health,” she says. Rates of anxiety and depression in children have been increasing for years, and she warns that against that backdrop, the stress of the pandemic is exacerbated.

Let’s talk about stress, baby

Checking in with your kids about how they’re feeling helps you to better support each child’s unique experiences. Unfortunately, many parents feel unequipped to talk about the pandemic.

1. Deal with yourself first

“For many children, the panic and fear has been magnified by the reaction of parents,” says Jo Frost, a bestselling parenting expert and the star of the hit TV show Supernanny.

Gewirtz agrees. “You need to put your own stuff aside if you want to truly help your kids,” she explains. For instance, she says many parents feel guilty that their kids are feeling lonely, so parents might toss out the bedtime routine or let their kids indulge in junk food.

“Ironically, it’s exactly during these chaotic times that kids desire structure and routine,” she warns. “So even though our own guilt may make us say we should let go of the rules a bit and relax, that’s not what kids need.”

“Figure out how COVID-19 is affecting you, and do some self-care,” says Gewirtz. “Deal with your own stuff separately so when you sit down with your kids to listen to their worries, you’re truly listening to their worries.”

2. Plan ahead

“If your child is asking questions about COVID-19, think about what level of detail you’re willing to share with them,” advises Gewirtz.

Every child is different, with varying degrees of what they might be able to handle, yet every kid has a right to know what’s happening in their world. Stick to the facts, be honest if there are things you don’t know, and use age-appropriate language.

A big thing to discuss is your child’s understanding of the changing rules as society re-opens. “With [re-opening] phases happening at different times, parents need to listen to the details and communicate clear directions about what those next steps are and why,” says Frost.

Frost suggests embracing the mindset of “One day, but for now …”. For example, you might say, “One day you’ll be going to school every day, but for now we’re homeschooling.”

She says this gives your child hope, but also helps them to safely follow whatever the current safety guidelines might be in your community.

3. Provide reassurance

Children have a difficult time separating what they hear or see, from what’s happening in their personal lives. So, it’s important to understand what’s worrying them, then reassure kids by giving them specific instructions on how to stay safe and be part of the solution.

“Let’s say your five-year-old heard that his friend’s grandma died in a nursing home,” says Gewirtz. Obviously, you wouldn’t talk about the dire circumstances in some nursing homes. “You might tell him, ‘There’s an illness that affects older people. For now, your own grandma is safe, and I’m going to keep it that way, which is why we aren’t going to visit her for now.’”

Don’t offer false hope. You want them to be informed and avoid infection, of course. But it can all be phrased in a way that’s factual and positive. Another good example is explaining to a toddler that people can get sick when someone coughs, so it’s important to practice coughing into her elbow.

“Have the discussion about what they’re worried about,” says Dr. Gewirtz. “But also invite them to brainstorm ideas to make it better.”

4. Reconnect at a distance

Connecting to a sense of community improves children’s mental health and wellness. And according to Statistics Canada, some of the biggest COVID-19 concerns among youth are about maintaining social ties and feeling stressed about family confinement.

There are many great apps that can allow your children to keep in touch with their friends and loved ones via video and text, but think beyond the screen.

Perhaps you could drive to one of their friend’s houses, and let the children talk to each other through a window. Maybe you could drop off groceries together for their grandparents.

“Find things that help them feel part of the world beyond the home,” says Gewirtz. “One of my kids is sewing masks to give away. Your teen could mow someone’s lawn, or the whole family can go out and make noise to celebrate healthcare workers.“

5. Stay positive

These are difficult times, but your own positivity and proactive planning helps children feel safe, supported, and hopeful.

“Look at the glass half full,” says Frost. “Be in gratitude for what we have today. Become more mindful. Because none of us have an ‘end date’ for this pandemic, it has made many feel out of control. Surrender to what you can control; flow with the rest. The less you resist, the easier you adapt.”

Even now, this new normal has given many families more opportunities to connect together over mealtimes or activities. And the most important thing to remember is that no matter what today looks like, if you’ve kept your family healthy and safe, you’ve done what you need to do.

“You’re teaching your children strength and resilience,” says Frost, “and what courage looks like, because in the face of fear you keep moving forward. I salute you on behalf of every child.”
