Oscar Nomination 2022

(CNN) The nominations for the 94th Academy Awards were announced Tuesday and included films in a wide range of genres.

“The Power of the Dog” led among nominated films with 12 nods. The drama’s director, Jane Campion, made history by becoming the first woman to be nominated more than once for best director. (Her previous nod was for “The Piano.”)

Fellow directing nominee Steven Spielberg also set a new record. As producer of “West Side Story,” which earned a total of seven nominations, Spielberg has now produced 11 films nominated for best picture, a new record for the Oscars.

Denzel Washington extended the record he already holds as the most nominated Black actor, earning his tenth Oscar nomination for his performance in “The Tragedy of Macbeth.” (One of his nominations was for producing.)

Oh, my love, oh, yeah, yeah
I’m in love, yeah

I replayed this moment for months
Alone in my head, waitin’ for it to come
I wrote all your lines in the scripts in my mind, and
I hope that you follow it for once

I imagine myself in satin, the room was platinum and gold
I’d dance and catch your eye, you’ll be mesmerized, oh
We’d find a corner, then your hands in my hair
Finally we’re here, so, why

Just a little more, don’t go yet

Baby, don’t go yet, ’cause I wore this dress for a lil’ drama
And I bet, I bet that you think that you know, but you don’t
Baby, come to mama
I get, I get what I want when I want
And I get it how I wanna, wanna
And I want you baby, gotta get you, baby

🎃 ♬ A recent song (2021) for Halloween: ED SHEERAN – Bad Habits

LYRIC

(One, two, three, four)
Ooh, ooh

Every time you come around, you know I can’t say no
Every time the sun goes down, I let you take control
I can feel the paradise before my world implodes
And tonight had something wonderful

My bad habits lead to late nights endin’ alone
Conversations with a stranger I barely know
Swearin’ this will be the last, but it probably won’t
I’ve got nothin’ left to lose, or use, or do
My bad habits lead to wide eyes stare into space
And I know I lose control of the things that I say
Yeah, I was lookin’ for a way out, now I can’t escape
Nothin’ happens after two, it’s true, it’s true
My bad habits lead to you

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
My bad habits lead to you
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
My bad habits lead to you

Every pure intention ends when the good times start
Fallin’ over everything to reach the first time’s spark
It started under neon lights and then it all got dark
I only know how to go too far

My bad habits lead to late nights endin’ alone
Conversations with a stranger I barely know
Swearin’ this will be the last, but it probably won’t
I’ve got nothin’ left to lose, or use, or do
My bad habits lead to wide eyes stare into space
And I know I lose control of the things that I say
Yeah, I was lookin’ for a way out, now I can’t escape
Nothin’ happens after two, it’s true, it’s true
My bad habits lead to you

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
My bad habits lead to you
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

We took the long way ’round
Burned ’til the fun ran out, now

My bad habits lead to late nights endin’ alone
Conversations with a stranger I barely know
Swearin’ this will be the last, but it probably won’t
I’ve got nothin’ left to lose, or use, or do
My bad habits lead to wide eyes stare into space
And I know I lose control of the things that I say
Yeah, I was lookin’ for a way out, now I can’t escape
Nothin’ happens after two, it’s true, it’s true
My bad habits lead to you

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
My bad habits lead to you
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

🎃 ♬ A historical song (1972) for Halloween: STEVIE WONDER – Superstistion

LYRIC

Very superstitious, writings on the wall,
Very superstitious, ladders ’bout to fall,
Thirteen-months-old baby broke the lookin’ glass
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past

When you believe in things that you don’t understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition ain’t the way

Very superstitious, wash your face and hands,
Rid me of the problem, do all that you can,
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin’ strong,
You don’t wanna save me, sad is my song

When you believe in things that you don’t understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition ain’t the way, yeah, yeah

Very superstitious, nothin’ more to say,
Very superstitious, the devil’s on his way,
Thirteen-months-old baby broke the lookin’ glass,
Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past

When you believe in things that you don’t understand,
Then you suffer, superstition ain’t the way, no, no, no

♬ Swedish House Mafia and The Weeknd – Moth To A Flame

Moth to a Flame” is a song by Swedish house music supergroup Swedish House Mafia and Canadian singer the Weeknd. It was released on 22 October 2021 through Republic Records, as the third single from the group’s upcoming debut studio album Paradise Again.

A potential collaboration between Swedish House Mafia and the Weeknd was first speculated when the group signed with the Weeknd’s longtime manager Wassim “Sal” Slaiby in April 2021. It was later teased by the Weeknd during an episode of his Apple Music 1 radio show Memento Mori, in which he stated in the introduction “The Swedes just landed in L.A.“. A snippet of “Moth to a Flame” was then revealed by Swedish House Mafia during their performance at the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards in September. On 19 October, the group and the singer teased the single once again before announcing that it would be released on 22 October. In celebration of its release, Swedish House Mafia hosted the twentieth episode of Memento Mori.

LYRIC

Like a moth to a flame
I’ll pull you in, I’ll pull you back to
What you need initially
It’s just one call away
And you’ll leave him, you’re loyal to me
But this time I’ll let you be

‘Cause he seems like he’s good for you
And he makes you feel like you should
And all your friends say, “He’s the one”
His love for you is true

But does he know you call me when he sleeps?
Or does he know the pictures that you keep?
Or does he know the reasons that you cry?
Or tell me, does he know where your heart lies?
Where it truly lies?

Yeah, you should be with him, I let you go from time
You should stay with him

‘Cause he seems like he’s good for you
And he makes you feel like you should
And all your friends say, “He’s the one”
His love for you is true

But does he know you call me when he sleeps?
Or does he know the pictures that you keep?
Or does he know the reasons that you cry?
Or tell me, does he know where your heart lies?
Where it truly lies?

Right here with me, baby
Where it truly lies
My baby
Where it truly lies
Give me all of it
Where it truly lies

Where it truly lies

Where it truly lies

Where it truly lies

♬ SAM FENDER – Long Way Off

The new single from Sam Fender’s new album of 2021 is out.

LYRIC

I’ve seen enough of it
The sides are all cemented
Their incentives look the same
Are they vetted
In the same ways?
As the little guy puts blood and tears
Into pushing deadweight on the capital steps
Bleeding out for a caricature of a ’50s salesman
Hare checklist, tickin’ every box
Dead for what?Standing on the side, I never was the silent type
All the endless grey conundrums that are painted black and white
I heard a hundred million voices sound the same both left and right
We’re still a long way off
We’re still a long way offSome get along with it
They drag around from town to town
With a pretty lie that hoodwinked many of my loved ones
I owe it to my folks for giving me an understanding of a world
Shot my people down
The hungry and divided play into the hands of the man who put them there
So it goesStanding on the side, I never was the silent type
All the endless grey conundrums that are painted black and white
Heard a hundred million voices sound the same both left and right
We’re still a long way offWe’re still a long way off, oh, oh, oh-oh
We’re still a long way off, oh-oh, oh, oh, ohStanding on the side, I never was the silent type
All the endless grey conundrums that are painted black and white
Heard a hundred million voices sound the same both left and right
We’re still a long way offWe’re still a long way off, oh, oh, oh-oh
We’re still a long way off, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh

TRADUZIONE TESTO

Oggi ho sentito il più strano
Ho sentito la canzone più strana

Un DJ a una stella di distanza è
Suonandolo per eccitarci

Il mio cuore ha iniziato a brillare
Lo sento dentro, scorre

Dico che lo so, lo so, lo so
Siamo solo umani
Lo so, lo so, lo so
Come siamo progettati, sì
Oh lo so, lo so, lo so
Siamo solo umani
Ma da un altro pianeta
Eppure ci chiamano Umanità

Oggi ho avuto la cosa più strana
Sento di appartenere

Prima stavo morendo
Lo sento dentro, ora sto volando

Dico che lo so, lo so, lo so
Siamo solo umani
Lo so, lo so, lo so
Come siamo progettati, sì
Oh lo so, lo so, lo so
Siamo solo umani
Ma da un altro pianeta
Eppure ci chiamano Umanità

Prima stavo morendo
Lo sento dentro, ora sto volando

Lo so, lo so, lo so
Siamo solo umani
Lo so, lo so, lo so
Come siamo progettati
Oh lo so, lo so, lo so
Siamo solo umani
Ma siamo capaci di gentilezza
Così ci chiamano Umanità

♬ Adele – Easy On Me

“Easy on Me” is a song recorded by English singer-songwriter Adele for her upcoming fourth studio album, 30 (2021). It was released on 15 October 2021 by Columbia Records as the lead single from the album, marking the first release from the singer in five years. “Easy on Me” was produced by American record producer Greg Kurstin, who also co-wrote the song with Adele. A minimally produced ballad, “Easy on Me” is set to a prominent, sombre piano, propelled by sparse bass beats.

Expressing themes of nostalgia, regret, and forgiveness, the song’s lyrics represent Adele’s plea to her son, asking him to help her reorganise her life post-divorce. Music critics reviewed “Easy on Me” positively, praising its poignant lyrics and emotional vocals, though some opined it did not match the heights of her previous singles. An accompanying music video, directed by Canadian filmmaker Xavier Dolan and shot in Sutton, Quebec, was released on 15 October 2021, continuing the setting established in the music video for Adele’s 2015 song “Hello”, where she is seen entering a furnished house. In the “Easy on Me” video, Adele vacates the house and drives off in a truck, while a pile of sheet music flies out of its windows, littering the road. “Easy on Me” garnered the Spotify and Amazon Music records for the most streams for a song in a day.

During an interview with Vogue, it was revealed that long-time collaborator Greg Kurstin worked on the song. The staff at Capital FM interpreted the song title as documenting the “start of a blossoming relationship”. On 9 October, the singer shared a 40-second preview of the song via Instagram Live. “Easy on Me” was released on 15 October 2021, to all digital music platforms. It marked the first single by Adele in five years.
Composition and lyrics

“Easy on Me” is a simplistic piano ballad with bass drum beats joining halfway. The hook consists of the song’s title sung in a prominently elongated melody. The song is written in the key of F major with a slow tempo of 70 beats per minute. Lyrically, Adele addresses her nine-year-old son in the song, explaining to him her divorce from his father and beseeching him to be “easy on [her]”.

LYRIC

There ain’t no gold in this river
That I’ve been washing my hands in forever
I know there is hope in these waters
But I can’t bring myself to swim
When I am drowning in this silence
Baby, let me in

Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
Didn’t get the chance to
Feel the world around me
I had no time to choose what I chose to do
So go easy on me

There ain’t no room for things to change
When we are both so deeply stuck in our ways
You can’t deny how hard I have tried
I changed who I was to put you both first
But now I give up

Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
Didn’t get the chance to
Feel the world around me
Had no time to choose what I chose to do
So go easy on me

I had good intentions
And the highest hopes
But I know right now
It probably doesn’t even show

Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
I didn’t get the chance to
Feel the world around me
I had no time to choose what I chose to do
So go easy on me

Traduzoine testo (italian)

Non c’è oro in questo fiume
Dove da sempre mi lavo le mani
So che c’è speranza in queste acque
Ma non riesco a trovare la forza per nuotare
Mentre sto annegando nel silenzio
Baby, fammi entrare

Vacci piano con me baby
Ero ancora una bambina
Non ho avuto la possibilità di
Sentire il mondo intorno a me
Non ho avuto tempo di scegliere cosa ho scelto di fare
Quindi vacci piano con me

Non c’è spazio perché possa cambiare neanche una cosa
Quando siamo entrambi così fermi sulle nostre idee
Non puoi negare quanto duramente io ci abbia provato
Ho cambiato chi ero per mettervi entrambi al primo posto
Ma ora mi arrendo

Vacci piano con me baby
Ero ancora una bambina
Non ho avuto la possibilità di
Sentire il mondo intorno a me
Non ho avuto tempo di scegliere cosa ho scelto di fare
Quindi vacci piano con me

Avevo buone intenzioni
E le più grandi speranze
Ma adesso lo so
Probabilmente non si vede neanche

Vacci piano con me baby
Ero ancora una bambina
Non ho avuto la possibilità di
Sentire il mondo intorno a me
Non ho avuto tempo di scegliere cosa ho scelto di fare
Quindi vacci piano con me
