SP: While My Guitar Gently Weeps by Peter Framton
Interesting George Harrison was inspired by the Chinese ICHING as an exercise in randomness inspired by the Chinese I Ching. The song conveys his dismay at the world's unrealised potential for universal love, which he refers to as "the love there that's sleeping".
The song serves as a comment on the disharmony within the Beatles following their return from studying Transcendental Meditation in India in early 1968. This lack of camaraderie was reflected in the band's initial apathy towards the composition, which Harrison countered by inviting his friend and occasional collaborator, Eric Clapton, to contribute to the recording.

Finally 'Wicked Game' as a program, especially by such sensual, seductive couple with knack of making songs with lyrics work! I love James Vincent MacMorrow's cover, but I think it would be too slow and lyrical, my cover pick would be one by Daughtry. Major props for both musical choices!

Adding that the second piece in McNamara/Carpenter's RD is Quejumbroso. The first one, Desde El Alma, is a vals - a tango with waltz rhythm. I was wondering if anyone would use a vals and it works beautifully!

Great song! I wonder why they didn't go with Chris Isaak himself?
Last season, I have had this dream that some Ice Dance team would use the original song as rhumba music in SD for partial step sequence, but it did not happen
I am not sure if this is a good idea for them so soon after Papadakis/Cizeron's FD to Build a Home. Hopefully they and their coach and choreograoher have done something totally different with it. Still, comparisons are inevitable in any case.
Well Dima Aliev skated to To Build a Home last season and made the piece his own. I think there might more compasism to him than P/C, their program was great but it's probably not a sginature or legendary piece. I think it will depend on them. I think though I will think of Dima hearing that music from now on.
Hard disagree. I 100% think that To Build a Home is their signature piece of the previous Olympic quad. Like, I know I'm biased because it's one of my favorite programs of all time, but yeah. (The recessional played at my wedding was "To Build a Home" and it was because of P/C, FWIW. I'm crazy.)
I liked Aliev's program and I agree he did a decent job of making the piece his own. But he's not an ice dancer.
their program was great but it's probably not a sginature or legendary piece.
I 100% think that To Build a Home is their signature piece of the previous Olympic quad.
but for me it still probably isn't at the 'legendary' category, perhaps it might be one of their most famour programs.
I'm not sure I'd call any ID piece signature or legendary, LOL. The current CoP rules make the discipline so unnecessarily restrictive, uncreative, and, well, un-dance-like. A very weird thing for a discipline that should probably have the most artistic freedom.
