Seven Nation Army The White Stripes

Verse 1 I’m gonna fight ’em all A seven nation army couldn’t hold me back They’re gonna rip it off Taking their time right behind my back And I’m talking to myself at night because I can’t forget Back and forth through my mind behind a cigarette And the message coming from my eyes says leave it alone Verse 2 Don’t want to hear about it Every single one’s got a story to tell Everyone knows about it From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell And if I catch it coming back my way I'm gonna serve it to you And that ain't what you want to hear but that’s what I'll do And the feeling coming from my bones says find a home Verse 3 I’m going to Wichita Far from this opera for evermore I’m gonna work the straw Make the sweat drip out of every pore And I’m bleeding, and I’m bleeding, and I’m bleeding right before the Lord All the words are gonna bleed from me and I will think no more And the stains coming from my blood tell me go back home

know Notes have a name: the note name. The note names are: a – b – c – d – e – f – g.

Notes are written on a staff. A staff consists of five horizontal lines, and notes are written on and between these lines.

Notes for the guitar are written as ‘tabs’. The six lines of the tab are the strings of the guitar, and the numbers are the fret spaces on the guitar neck.

First sing the riff several times so that you know it well. Say the note names while singing.

Find the tones you need to play on an instrument.

Play them slowly in the correct order one after the other. Note: you have to play the first tone twice.

Do this until you don’t need to look for them any more.

Now play it in the correct rhythm. Singing along helps!

You are ready when you can repeat the riff a few times without stopping or making mistakes.

checklist • prepare Do you know what a riff is?

Do you know the note names?

Can you play the riff with the correct tones?

Can you play the riff in the correct rhythm?

Can you play the riff a few times without mistakes or pauses?

Do you remember how many times you have to play the riff in the intro? How many times is it?

And at which line in the verse do you not play the riff? Which lyrics are sung there?

6

Do

Sing: you sing Seven Nation Army in small groups, taking turns.

Play: you play the riff of Seven Nation Army, now with the ending!

Sing Rehearse 1 Practice the first four lines a couple of times. Take particular care with ‘rip’ in line 3: this is higher.

Also line 4 starts differently than the other lines.

2 Now practice the second part of the verse. Sing the last line louder than the others.

3 Practice verses 2 and 3 in the same way. Take particular note of when each line starts.

4 Can you sing along well with the song? Read the lyrics again carefully. How does the singer feel?

How should the song be sung?

5 Divide the two parts of each verse between different groups. Practice this division.

Tips for singing The second part of each verse is higher. You can choose to sing the song high as well as low.

Try both out and choose what feels best.

Sing Seven Nation Army a bit rough: it is not a love song!

EXTRA Combine the singing with the drum rhythm (from Listen).

While singing (or when another group is singing): stamp with your foot on each beat. During the second part of each verse: clap on the second and fourth beat as well.

checklist • sing Can you start on time with a line every time?

Have you decided to sing high or low? Or are you alternating high and low?

Is the division of the verses clear?

Are you singing the song (or your part) with the appropriate feeling?

Tips for playing To practice the transition from the riff to the ending, keep playing riff – ending – riff – ending etc.

Keep listening to the others; then you can always jump back in if you go wrong somewhere.

EXTRA The riff changes sometimes during the interlude: this is a variation. In the variation the riff is b. What is played at the dotted line? Try to different at the end: e – e – g – e – d – c play the variation by listening carefully and copying it.

In the interlude the order is: riff – variation – riff – variation – ending.

Play the drums for Seven Nation Army. Listen carefully to the song so that you know exactly what to play at each part (intro, verse, interlude). For this draw up a table like that in step 5 before.

checklist • play Can you play the riff followed by the ending without hesitation?

Can you play a whole verse without stopping?

Can you jump back in if you make a mistake?

Can you follow the table and keep playing at the same time?

Can You Feel the Love Tonight : what are you going to do?

What can you already do?

I can tap along with the beat when I hear music.

I can sing or play part of a song in a group.

I can play without getting faster or slower.

I can wait until it is my turn to sing or play.

I can look up words that I do not know.

Can You Feel the Love Tonight was written for the Disney film The Lion King. Elton John composed the music and Tim Rice wrote the lyrics. The film became such a huge success that it was soon turned into a musical. The musical was also very successful; it is still performed in many countries. Worldwide more than 90 million people have been to see it!

In Can You Feel the Love Tonight Nala and Simba (the future ‘Lion King’) realize that they have fallen in love with each other. Timon the meerkat and Pumbaa the warthog are afraid that they will lose their great friend Simba to Nala.

10

What do you already know?

I know what a verse and chorus is.

I know what note names are.

What are you going to do?

You sing Can You Feel the Love Tonight in a particular role.

You play the accompaniment for Can You Feel the Love Tonight.

Can You Feel the Love Tonight Elton John / Tim Rice

Verse 1 Timon

I can see what’s happ’ning Pumbaa What?

And they don’t have a clue Who? They’ll fall in love and here’s the bottom line Our trio's down to two Oh. The sweet caress of twilight There’s magic everywhere And with all this romantic atmosphere Disaster’s in the air!

Chorus 1 Can you feel the love tonight The peace the evening brings The world for once in perfect harmony With all its living things Verse 2 Simba

Nala

So many things to tell her But how to make her see The truth about my past? Impossible!

She’d turn away from me He’s holding back, he’s hiding But what I can't decide Why won’t he be the king I know he is The king I see inside?

Chorus 2 Can you feel the love tonight The peace the evening brings The world for once in perfect harmony With all its living things Chorus 3 Can you feel the love tonight You needn’t look too far Stealing through the night’s uncertainties Love is where they are Chorus 4 Timon And if he falls in love tonight (sniff)

It can be assumed Pumbaa His carefree days with us are history Together In short, our pal is doomed!

Intro • Can You Feel the Love Tonight

11

Prepare

You listen to the role division in songs and practice it as well.

You also practice the rhythm for Can You Feel the Love Tonight.

Listen Can You Feel the Love Tonight – The Lion King 1 a Listen to the first verse and the first chorus and tap along with the beat. In which section is this very difficult?

The verse.

The chorus.

b In the first verse one line is not actually sung;

Timon says it.

What does Timon say there? Write down the words: Why does this line stand out even more?

c Listen to Timon in the first verse again. As well as that one line another two words are spoken

(and not sung). Underline these words.

d Listen to chorus 2 and chorus 3. Compare them. What happens to the pitch?

The pitch:

stays the same.

gets higher.

gets lower.

e Listen to the last chorus and tap along with the beat. What happens to the tempo?

The tempo stays the same.

The tempo gets faster at the end.

The tempo gets slower at the end.

The tempo first gets faster, then slower. know The tempo is the speed at which a piece of music is performed. If you tap or clap along you know the tempo.

Practice A Practice the roles Different people sing in Can You Feel the Love Tonight, each with their own role. Put yourself in the part!

Work in two groups: one group plays Timon, the other Pumbaa. Say verse 1 out loud in the way that matches your role: Timon is sad and a bit desperate; Pumbaa is acting the fool.

Now sing the verse, first just the melody, then in your role. Take note of the words that are spoken.

12

B Practice the chorus Practice the chorus. Sing long lines; you sing a whole line without taking a breath in the middle.

Now sing chorus 1. What is the atmosphere of that chorus? Which dynamics (loud/quiet) suit it?

Sing chorus 2. This is a bit louder than chorus 1.

Sing chorus 3: one tone higher and the loudest dynamics: the climax of the song! Can you still sing the lines on one breath?

TIP Stand up for chorus 3. This makes it easier to sing loud. know Dynamics are the loudness of music.

C Practice the rhythm You can play a rhythm in the choruses. This can be done with African percussion instruments (bongos, congas, djembes) as well as with body percussion. know Percussion instruments are musical instruments that you play by hitting, rattling or shaking them. With body percussion you use your body as a percussion instrument, for example clapping, stamping your feet or slapping your thighs.

Gently tap the beat, alternating left and right (L-R):
