Legend was a posthumous compilation album of unreleased material by American Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd, which contained previously unreleased demos from the albums before the 1977 plane crash. However, the vast majority of tracks on Legend are now available on other albums. The album was certified Gold on 7/27/2001 by the RIAA.
Legend is the debut album of the Christian rock band of the same name. After this recording, the band changed the name to Legend Seven when they became aware of another band with the same name. It was released in 1992 under the Word Records label.
Legend: The Music of Jerry Goldsmith is a musical film score by American composer Jerry Goldsmith, released in 1986 for the worldwide release of the film of the same name, (excluding the US). The album was released on compact disc in 1992 through Silva Screen records and featured alternate cover art and additional songs.
Goldsmith's score was featured in the original version of the film, but due to a disappointing test screening with the original orchestral score, director Ridley Scott decided to make changes to the film. Sidney Sheinberg, president of MCA (the parent company of Universal at the time), felt that the Goldsmith score would not appeal to the youth and pressed Scott for a new score. German group Tangerine Dream was contracted to complete a new, more contemporary score—-a job they completed in three weeks. Until 2002, only European audiences could see Legend with Goldsmith's score.
"Wait" is a single by Wang Chung, released as the fourth and final single from their 1984 album, Points on the Curve. The single reached #87 on the UK Singles Chart. Aside from the early singles released as Huang Chung, "Wait" was the only single by Wang Chung that failed to chart on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. However, it peaked at #17 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart.
No music video was shot for "Wait".
Wait is also the only Wang Chung song to appear on two different non-compilation albums. Wait originally appeared on Points on the Curve, but was used again in the To Live and Die in L.A. soundtrack when director William Friedkin liked the song so much, he wanted to incorporate it into his 1985 thriller, To Live and Die in L.A. "Wait" appears during the end credits of the film.
Hurry Up, We're Dreaming is the sixth studio album by French electronic band M83. The double album was released on 18 October 2011 by Naïve Records in France and Mute Records in the United States. The album was produced by Justin Meldal-Johnsen, mixed by Tony Hoffer and has received generally positive reviews. In addition, it debuted at number fifteen on the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 21,000 copies, becoming M83's highest-charting album to date. The album was nominated for Best Alternative Music Album at the 2013 Grammy Awards.
The album was recognized as one of The 100 Best Albums of the Decade So Far by Pitchfork Media in August 2014.
Prior to recording Hurry Up, We're Dreaming, Anthony Gonzalez had moved from his native France to Los Angeles. Describing the move in an interview, Gonzalez said: "Having spent 29 years of my life in France, I moved to California a year and a half before the making of this album and I was excited and inspired by so many different things: by the landscape, by the way of life, by live shows, by movies, by the road trips I took alone... I was feeling alive again and this is, I feel, something that you can hear on the album" Gonzalez's tour with The Killers, Depeche Mode and Kings of Leon, in addition to his road trips to Joshua Tree National Park also heavily influenced the album. Gonzalez cited the ambitiousness of albums such as Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness as the reason he made Hurry Up, We're Dreaming a double album. In addition, he described the two discs as brother and sister, with each track having a sibling on the other disc. The album was recorded in Los Angeles at Sunset Studio and The Sound Factory. Because of budget constraints and union issues, the string and brass players who contributed to the album were not paid and were credited with pseudonyms.
"Wait" is the lead single from Earshot's second album Two. It reached #13 on the Mainstream Rock charts and #33 on the Modern Rock charts.
Although it did not chart as well as the band's debut single, "Get Away," "Wait" is considered a breakthrough hit for the band and helped launch them into further mainstream success. It was featured on the video game soundtracks to both Madden NFL 2005 and MX vs. ATV Unleashed. An alternate version was also included on the former soundtrack as The D.O.C. vs. Earshot - "The Madden Re-Match." "Wait" was also featured in the DVD Tampa Bay Lightning 2004 Stanley Cup Champions. Former UFC Lightweight Champion Sean Sherk has used it as his entrance music as well.
Lyrically, the song deals with the frustration of loneliness and indifference toward the world. Phrasing is somewhat general and a particular inspiration or meaning behind "Wait" is not evident. Despite these melancholy themes, the song is rather quick-paced and headstrong in its execution.
Chorus:
They that wait upon the Lord
Shall renew their strength
They shall mount up on wings as eagles
They shall run and not be weary
Walk and not faint
For He giveth power
And increases strength
Just wait I say on the Lord, Lord
Verse 1:
Sometimes it's hard for us to wait
For our deliverance to come
Even though we cannot see it
The victory's already won
It's like Daniel in the lion's den
Or Job when it seems he just couldn't win
Just wait I say on the Lord, Lord
Verse 2:
Don't let your cloudy days
Cover the blue
Keep trusting in Jesus
For He knows just what to do
Even though the symptoms may prevail
You have a testimony to tell
Vamp 1:
Just wait,
Just wait on Jesus
You need to wait,
You need to wait on Jesus
Why don't you wait,
Why don't you wait on Jesus
Mama wait,
Mama wait on Jesus
Light bill wait,
Light bill wait on Jesus
Just wait I say
Vamp 2:
Wait on Jesus,
Just wait on Jesus
(repeat)
