“I’ll Be There is a soul song written by Berry Gordy, Bob West, Hal Davis, and Willie Hutch, which resulted in two U.S. number 1 hit singles: the original 1970 recording by American vocal quintet The Jackson 5 and a 1992 live version by American pop singer Mariah Carey and American R&B singer Trey Lorenz.

The Jackson 5 original was recorded for Motown Records, and released as the first single from their Third Album in 1970. Produced by the songwriters, “I’ll Be There” was The Jackson 5’s fourth number 1 hit in a row, following “I Want You Back,” “ABC,” and “The Love You Save.” “I’ll Be There” is also notable as the most successful single released by Motown during its “Detroit era” (1959-1972). It is also the fifth in the group’s string of five consecutive number one pop hits, making them the first black male group to achieve this.

The Mariah Carey/Trey Lorenz cover was recorded during Carey’s appearance on MTV Unplugged in 1992, and released as the first single from her EP MTV Unplugged in the second quarter of 1992. Co-produced by Carey and Walter Afanasieff, “I’ll Be There” became Carey’s sixth number 1 single in the U.S., and her biggest hit elsewhere at the time.”

“Radiohead (inicialmente On A Friday) es un grupo musical inglés de rock alternativo originario de Abingdon. Desde su formación en 1985 lo componen Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Phil Selway y Ed O’Brien. Hasta la fecha ha publicado 7 álbumes de estudio y ganado 3 premios Grammy.

El éxito de Radiohead fue inmediato. Su primer álbum, obtuvo buenas ventas gracias, sobre todo, al tema Creep, lanzado como sencillo de adelanto en 1992 y que es hasta la fecha el mayor éxito de la banda. Algunos críticos pensaron que Radiohead sería un one-hit wonder. Sin embargo, la banda logró capturar la atención de miles de fanáticos del Reino Unido con su siguiente álbum, The Bends.^[3]

Su tercer trabajo, OK Computer (1997), que trata los temas de la alienación y la globalización, ha sido aclamado como uno de los mejores álbumes de los 90. ^[4] Ganó el premio Grammy al mejor disco de rock alternativo de 1998, además de una nominación al mejor disco del año.”

Wonderwall

“Wonderwall is a song by English rock band Oasis, written by the band’s guitarist and main songwriter Noel Gallagher. Released as the third single from (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? in October 1995, “Wonderwall” peaked at number two in the UK Singles Charts and proved to be their American breakthrough, reaching number eight on the Hot 100 singles chart and giving them their only top-ten hit in the U.S. thus far. It also proved a hit in Australia, reaching number one in February 1996. “Wonderwall” is perhaps their most popular song, despite the fact that British TV stars Robson & Jerome’s “I Believe”/”Up on the Roof” kept it out of the top slot. “Wonderwall” continues to have enduring popularity in Oasis’s canon; as of 2008, it was 76th in the UK’s list of best-selling singles, and has now sold over a million copies in single and download sales in the UK, where it went platinum.”

“It’s time to make a start

to get to know your heart
time to show your face, time to take your place

In every speck of dust
In every universe,
When you feel most alone, you will not be alone

Just shine a light on me, shine a light
I’ll shine a light on you, shine a light
and you will see my shadow on every wall
and you will see my footprint on every floor

It only takes a spark to tear the world apart
these tiny little things that make it all begin

Just shine a light on me, shine a light
I’ll shine a light on you, shine a light
and you will see my shadow on every wall
and you’ll see my reflection in your free fall

Ooh, Oh Ooh, Ooh, Oh Ooh!

Just shine a light on me, shine a light
I’ll shine a light on you, shine a light
‘Cause when your back’s against the wall
that’s when you show no fear at all
and when you’re running out of time
that’s when your hitch your star to mine

We won’t be leaving by the same road that we came by

Oh Ooh, Oh Ooh, Oh Ooh, Oh Ooh!”

“The story arc of Battlestar Galactica is set in a distant part of the galaxy, where a civilization of humans live on a series of planets known as the Twelve Colonies. In the past, the Colonies had been at war with a cybernetic race known as the Cylons. With the unwitting help of a human named Gaius Baltar, the Cylons launch a sudden ambush on the Colonies, laying waste to the planets and devastating their populations. The handful of human survivors flee into space aboard any spacecraft they can reach. Of all the Colonial Fleet, the Battlestar Galactica appears to be the only military capital ship that survived the attack. Under the leadership of famed military leader Commander William “Bill” Adama, the Battlestar Galactica and its crew take up the task of leading the small fugitive fleet of survivors into space in search of a fabled refuge known as Earth.”
