"Though Burton's quirky, eerie aesthetic would normally be at odds with Pearl Jam's earnestness, the two work well together here, with the song touching on the film's warmth and adding a bit of earthiness to its daydreamy nature." Heather Phares of Allmusic "the star is the film's end-titles' closer, Pearl Jam's "Man of the Hour", which captures the darkness of Big Fish' s central Oedipal conflict." Barry Walters of Rolling Stone I heard a news of the release of a film called Big Fish, directed by Tim Burton and what made me so excited is the soundtrack. One song of the soundtrack is from Pearl Jam, called Man Of The Hour. Man of the Hour is written by Pearl Jam's Vocalist Eddie Vedder.

Bagi saya yang anak Cirebon, tidak ada band yang sehebat Guns N’ Roses, suara lengkingan Axl Rose dan raungan gitar Slash saban hari dari siang sepulang sekolah sampai pagi menjelang sekolah selalu memenuhi kamar saya. Saya juga pernah membuat lukisan lambang GNR dengan cat Glotex (cat besi dan kayu)  di atas kanvas yang saya buat sendiri dari kain putih yang dilapisi tepung kanji  yang dicampur air kemudian dijemur.  Gambar pestol dan mawar itu kemudian saya tempel di dinding kamar dan saya pun menjadi merasa hebat dan berani menantang tetangga dengan menyetel tape kompo saya dengan volume full.  Dan  bersaing dengan tetangga yang  pada saat itu selalu menyetel  lagu Malaysia dan tarling Cirebon. Saat itu adalah tahun 1994.

I was acquainted to this song by Quentin Tarantino's film Kill Bill (2003) and it was a love at first hearing, later I checked the soundtrack of the album and check the tittle of the song was Bang Bang and it was Nancy Sinatra's version. Bang Bang was written by Sonny Bono, and released in 1966 as the second single by singer-actress Cher from her second studio album The Sonny Side of Chér . The song was covered by singers from different countries and sung in several different languages. I listened to the Cher's version of the song but did not get the same feeling as i was to the Nancy's. Probably it was the tempo and the instrument used is different. Nancy's version released also in 1966 the same year with the Cher's, Nancy Sinatra feature the song in her album How Does That Grab You? .With a slower beat tempo and the trembling sound of the guitar played by Billy Strange, this song sounds far more dramatic than the Chr's version.

  Yesterday I bought an Indonesian historical fiction novel titled Nagabumi by an indonesian author Seno Gumira Ajidarma. The very begining of the first chapter of the book told me a story of  a 100 years old Javanese Warrior who invited all the warriors all over java to fight him. In the night of the fight 100 warriors come up to kill him, but with all the preparation he made, he kill 'em All. As i continue to read the 815 pages book, i recalled the first album by Metallica , Kill 'em All . The album was released in 1983, and i bought the 1989 cassete tape of the album and still works good today.  I was impressed by a track called (Anestesia) Pulling Teeth, a solo bass play by Burton, which i (still) thought until i write this post, it was played on guitar, for it sounds really like a guitar, with heavy distortion and wah wah pedal playing and i never noticed what Burton said before the song was "Bass solo, take one" and never read the credit of the son

Shawn Smiths voice crawl in the silence of the night, along with Stone Gossard's lazy guitar tunes, as Regan Hagar slow yet intense drum beat keep them in shape playing a melodious song called Buttercup. Buttercup is the first song of Brads first album, Shame. It is just perfect. Brad is a Seattle band, it is a fusion of Pearl Jams riff maker, Stone Gossard, Satchel and Malfunksun's Regan Hagar's, Jeremy Toback's bassline, and beautiful, feather felt vocals of Shawn Smith. It is funny how the Brad was taken as The Band's name, the band originally wanted to go by the name Shame, but the name was already taken by a band featuring musician Brad Wilson. Instead of using Shame as band name they make it as their album name and named the band Brad. Buttercup is the first track of their first album, Shame, released in 1993, released under the label Epic. It's about a relationship. It's quite clear that it is not an easy relationship, maybe a temporary rel

The same as a written literature , a song also has the ability to tell the events or feelings to be conveyed by the author .
