	PINK FLOYD Echoes - The Best Of Pink Floyd reviews
		Following is "Marooned," one of the only two songs I enjoy from the post-Waters era (of which I think shouldn't be represented on this album-- without Waters it just isn't Floyd), then "The Great Gig in the Sky," another soul-lifting song.
		A few negative aspects to the collection is the edit of 'Echoes' (the song) down to a more managable time, and the inclusion of 'Sheep' (once again just like on "A Collection of Great Dance Songs") to represent the "Animals" LP instead of 'Dogs' or 'Pigs'.
		Overall Echoes does the job and it is a beautiful reminder of how inspirational and unique this band were.

	Echoes by Pink Floyd Songfacts
		Also the song choice and order is pretty bad and they shorten several other songs like "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" and "Marooned" Now that I got that out of my system...the song is great.
		I think the meaning of the song is as follows: It's the story of someone who has plunged into a deep depression, and spends his/her existence wandering a metaphorical labyrinth in a coral cave underwater, listening to echoes of normal life, which prompts him or her to start climbing toward the light.
		The other songs on this album don't rate....however their better stuff after this effort is a result of every thing they tried.

	What Matters: The Whales' Song
		Without inspiration - without music - I am a painter without a canvas, a marine biologist marooned on Mercury.
		Many songs have moved and inspired me, stirring a feeling I never had.
		From the passenger seat, my mom, whose voice gave away the fact that she too was suddenly awake, asked, "Aren't those whales singing?"

	Soult.com Eurovision \| 2005 \| Bosnia-Herzegovina
		Bosnia was marooned in the mid-teens for much of the 90s - 16th in 1993, 15th in 1994, 14th in 1995 and 13th in 1996, before falling back again to 22nd in 1997.
		While its ex-Yugoslav neighbours, Croatia and Slovenia, have regularly finished in the top ten at Eurovision, Bosnia's record has tended to be less impressive; however, given the country's conflict, still ongoing at the time of Bosnia's first appearance in 1993, its very participation was poignant and welcome.
		Unfortunately, the system of calculating each country's five year average meant that Bosnia had to miss 2000's contest, before resuming normal service with a 14th place in 2001, 13th in 2002, and 16th in 2003.

	The Ben Gunn Society: Treasure Island
		This is a story of Ben Gunn, a hapless sailor marooned for three years on Treasure Island.
		The folk-rock song cycle doents many of Ben Gunn's adventures with due respect to this "hero from beginning to end." Often compared to the Velvet Underground, Camper Van Beethoven, Buddy Holly and Village Green era Kinks, the Ben Gunn Society is a natural favorite for independent music lovers everywhere!

		on the other hand; he looks good in a way that young teenage girls usally likes and the song doesn't need a "big" voice.
		The song is a rather pleasant surprise, a high energy number that sounds like it's come straight from the dancefloor.

		The novel, published in 1979, anticipated such 1980's and 1990's problems as increased gang violence and homelessness, economic chaos such as the 1980's stock market crash and SandLcrisis, and political trends such as the economic and political unification of Europe.

	Rugrats Go Wild
		The new film, Rugrats Go Wild, is a blending of both the Rugrats and the Wild Thornberrys, as the Rugrats get marooned on a tropical island whose sole inhabitants happen to be the Thornberrys, and the combination of both proves hilarious.
		The jokes are fast and furious, most of them the gross-out, dirty diaper variety but some of them truly inspired, with winks to Titanic, Gilligan's Island and The Poseidon Adventure (at one point, devilish little Angelica actually sings the theme song - The Morning After - from that maritime camp classic).
		Bruce Willis is on hand as the voice of Spike, the Rugrats' faithful pooch, and contributes an exuberant musical number, which like the rest of the film, gets by on speed and good humor.

	The Stage Online :: Reviews :: Return to the Forbidden Planet
		Prefiguring the ‘compilation musical&;, Carlton’s selection of song lyrics to fit in with the story is as ingenious as the way he quotes - and misquotes - the Bard.
		In designer Katy Tuxford’s spaceship cockpit - a nice homage to low-budget film sets - we see Captain Tempest and his crew aboard the Starship Albatross forced to land on the uncharted planet of D’Illyria by the mad scientist Doctor Prospero, marooned with his daughter Miranda for 15 years.
		Based on the 1956 B-movie Forbidden Planet, which was loosely based on The Tempest, the show is still a glorious parody of Shakespeare and fifties sci-fi films, complete with rock music from that period.

	The Man From Elysian Fields (2001): Andy Garcia, James Coburn, Olivia Williams - PopMatters Film Review
		Coburn in particular is marooned by these lurches into sentimentality; sometimes, when dispensing cantankerous grandfatherly wisdom to Byron, he begins to sound like that "Everybody's Free to Wear Sunscreen" song.
		Elysian Fields seems to be aiming for this level of insight, but its screenplay, by Phillip Jayson Lasker, misses its mark throughout.
		The Man From Elysian Fields, now on DVD, is the sort of movie some people will call "literate." The film is variously about writing, sexual manners, commitment, and self-respect, and it is certainly literate, in that the characters have done lot of reading and so, presumably, have the filmmakers.

	Ink 19 :: Balligomingo
		Gorgeous strings on "Falling," poignant guitar on "Marooned" (I highly recommend tracking down the early version of this song, featured on the original Balligomingo sampler CD) and the searing Irish-tinged vocals of the hidden track, "Being," will have you holding your breath.
		Songs like "Sweet Allure" could be Delerium cuts, but are saved from complete anonymity by their own distinct flavors (the aforementioned piece -- and several others, actually -- laying down crisp acoustic guitar over the chorus).
		Still, you won't be surprised to hear that Kirsty Thirsk (of Delerium and The Rose Chronicles fame) sings on Balligomingo's debut.

	slant // magazine.com: Film Review - Marooned in Iraq
		Mirza, a Kurdish singer, and his two sons venture into Iraqi Kurdistan in search of the old man's ex-wife, who left her husband some 23 years ago to marry another man. Lighter and more humorous than Ghobadi's successful A Time for Drunken Horses, Marooned is still grounded in the chaos of rural underdevelopment.
		Men repeatedly emerge from hellish mists, fumbling atop the crumbling limbo beneath their feet; the women rebuild civilization and a hopeful Ghobadi celebrates this progress via a lovely montage set to ethnic song.
		For Ghobadi, the human voice is not without its allegorical implications and is to be guarded not unlike the fragile earth the Kurd's have been long denied.

	St Helena Island - Hell hole of the South Pacific
		It was 1904 and we were marooned in a place known as âThe Hell Hole of the South Pacific.â We were insulted, humiliated and whipped by our unrelenting taskmaster, and the strange thing was, we were enjoying the experience.
		A phlegmy rendition of The Song of St Helena from our uncouth warder ended our tour and we were forced back on the boat; the lucky ones who got away.
		Fresh blood and offal from the island?s cattle was regularly dumped into the ocean to tantalise the taste buds of hungry tiger sharks waiting to sink their teeth into any escapee foolish enough to attempt the 8km swim to the mainland.

	The Fabulous Shirley Bassey
		Her first single was "Burn My Candle", but her first real hit was "Banana Boat Song".
		If I were to be marooned on a desert island and could only take one CD, this would be the one!
		Shirley's first big international hit was 1964's "Goldfinger", from the James Bond film of the same name.

	5/13/04: Not Even Nominated Part Eleven
		Though the film was a stylish failure, JOE VS. THE VOLCANO featured a typically elegant and delightful score from George Delerue, including an original song, "Marooned Without You," with lyrics by the film's writer-director John Patrick Shanley.
		Ritt's films were marked by their unusually sparse scores (The Outrage, Hombre, Norma Rae), and even his two previous collaborations with John Williams, Pete 'n' Tillie and Conrack, had atypically brief scores from the composer.
		Film music fans were predictably outraged when Jerry Goldsmith was passed over for the troubled Chinatown sequel, THE TWO JAKES, and Van Dyke Parks' score was an awkward fit, though the composer had a colorful cameo as an attorney.

		Bowie then started working on Nicholas Roeg's film "The Man Who Fell To Earth", in which he was given the leading role of the displaced alien marooned on Earth.
		The song appeared on his next album, "Young Americans", which saw the emergence of a new Bowie, successfully tackling Philadelphia soul.
		Returning to London, Bowie was reprimanded in the liberal music press for allegedly displaying a Nazi salute and suggesting that his home country needed a 'new Hitler'.
