"Symphonies" is a song by British wonky pop musician Dan Black, released as the first single from his 2009 debut album ''UN''. Evolving from his previous single "HYPNTZ", the track was written, composed, and produced by Black himself. It is an alternative dance track that features prominent use of sampling from other artists such as the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and Rihanna. The track was released as the U.S. iTunes "Single of the Week" for the week of December 28, 2009, and the video was released on iTunes for free for the week of March 15, 2010. A remix of the song was recorded with Kid Cudi, and was released as a bonus track in the United States. The track has also been used in the "A More Exciting Place to Live" ad campaign by Virgin Media in the UK. It was also used in 2010 comedy film ''Easy A'' and used on the ''NBA 2K11'' soundtrack. ==Conception and production== In 2008, Black originally recorded a song called "HYPNTZ", which interpolated lyrics from The Notorious B.I.G.'s "Hypnotize" and sampled the drum beat from Rihanna's "Umbrella". However, the night before the video was shot, Wallace's estate informed Black of its objection to the song. Black reworked new lyrics for the song and added vocals, retitling it "Symphonies". The track prominently samples the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra's cover of the main theme from the film ''Starman'' written by Jack Nitzsche. The sample appears throughout the track, mainly during the chorus. An instrumental version of the track currently features on a Virgin Media advertisement. The remixed version of the song with Kid Cudi has also been used in 2K Sports video game, ''NBA 2K11''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Symphonies (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
