In the context of film and radio, drama describes a genre of narrative fiction (or semi-fiction) intended to be more serious than humorous in tone, focusing on in-depth development of realistic characters who must deal with realistic emotional struggles. A drama is commonly considered the opposite of a comedy, but may also be considered separate from other works of some broad genre, such as a fantasy. To distinguish drama as a genre of fiction from the use of the same word to mean the general storytelling mode of live performance, the word drama is often included as part of a phrase to specify its meaning. For instance, in the sense of a television genre, more common specific terms are a drama show, drama series, or television drama in the United States; dramatic programming in the United Kingdom; or teledrama in Sri Lanka. In the sense of a film genre, the common term is a drama film.
Dramatic themes such as alcoholism, child abuse, coming of age, drug addiction, emotion, hope, infidelity, moral dilemmas, racial prejudice, religious intolerance, sexuality, poverty, class divisions, violence against women and corruption put characters in conflict with themselves, others, society, or even natural phenomena. Drama is one of the broadest movie genres and includes subgenres such as romantic drama, war films, sport films, period drama, courtroom drama and crime.

Drama (Greek: Δράμα [ˈðrama]) is a city and municipality in northeastern Greece. Drama is the capital of the regional unit of Drama which is part of the East Macedonia and Thrace region. The town (pop. 44,823 in 2011) is the economic center of the municipality (pop. 58,944), which in turn comprises 60 percent of the regional unit's population. The next largest communities in the municipality are Choristi (pop. 2,725), Χiropótamos (2,554), Kallífytos (1,282), Kalós Agrós (1,178), and Koudoúnia (996).
Built at the foot of mount Falakro, in a verdant area with abundant water sources, Drama has been an integral part of the Hellenic world since the classical era; under the Byzantine Empire, Drama was a fortified city with a castle and rose to great prosperity under the Komnenoi as a commercial and military junction.
In the modern era, tobacco production and trade, the operation of the railway (1895) and improvement of the road network towards the port of Kavala, led to an increase in the population of the city and to the enhancement of commercial activity.
"Boy" is a song by US singer Marcella Detroit, released in December 1996 as the third single from her album Feeler. Although the most successful of all four singles released from Feeler, the song performed poorly nonetheless, peaking at #102 on the UK Singles Chart.
Boy, James Hanley's second novel, first published in 1931 by Boriswood, is a grim story of the brief life and early death of a thirteen year old stowaway from Liverpool. After several editions had been published in 1931 and 1932, a cheap edition, published in 1934, was prosecuted for obscene libel and the publisher heavily fined.
Boy, James Hanley's second novel, his "first novel of the sea", was first published by Boriswood as a limited edition of 145 and "a public edition which, of regretful necessity, has been somewhat expurgated", in September 1931 (asterisks indicated where "words, phrases and sentences [were] omitted"). There were several subsequent editions in Britain and America. Hanley had originally intended to include Boy in the collection of stories and novellas, Men in Darkness: Five Stories, which was published in September 1931, at the same time as Boy.
BOY is a Canadian indie pop band, originally the solo project of Whitehorse, Yukon native Stephen Noel Kozmeniuk. Now based in Toronto, the band consists of vocalist and general instrumentalist Kozmeniuk, drummer Maurie Kaufmann, bassist Steve Payne, and guitarists Rolla Olak and James Robertson. The band's debut album was released on Bumstead Records and the second one, Every Page You Turn, on MapleMusic Recordings.
Stephen Kozmeniuk (born 1982) grew up in Whitehorse, Yukon, and has played guitar since age 14. "Boy" was initially his solo project, and he recorded his album using Pro Tools in his bedroom in Whitehorse. In 2002, The Globe and Mail described Boy's music as "art rock with a Brit twist, combined with an ultracool, laid-back attitude". Boy toured nationally in support of its self-titled release in 2003, opening for artists such as Sam Roberts, 54-40 and Broken Social Scene.
Boy then expanded to a five-man band with new members guitarist James Robertson of Toronto; drummer Maurie Kaufmann from Nanaimo, BC; bassist Steve Payne from Winnipeg; and guitarist Rolla Olak from Victoria, BC. The 2004 album Every Page You Turn, produced by Brenndan McGuire of Sloan fame, was recorded on Vancouver Island, in a cabin. The lead single, "Same Old Song", received airplay on rock radio stations across Canada, and was featured on the soundtrack of the video game FIFA 06. The band toured Canada along with Pilate, and played the South by Southwest festival in Texas, and the 2005 Summer Sonic Festival in Japan.
Space is the boundless three-dimensional extent in which objects and events have relative position and direction. Physical space is often conceived in three linear dimensions, although modern physicists usually consider it, with time, to be part of a boundless four-dimensional continuum known as spacetime. The concept of space is considered to be of fundamental importance to an understanding of the physical universe. However, disagreement continues between philosophers over whether it is itself an entity, a relationship between entities, or part of a conceptual framework.
I won't tell you my name
I avoid all those things
All together, I'm so high
Well, I know it was dumb
Staring right at the sun
Stoned forever
Well, it won't be the first or the last time
The world passes by
Hey, I'm a space boy, I don't wanna be found
I'm a space boy, so stop holding me down
And I'd love if I never returned to the ground
Well, can we still be friends
Well, I guess that depends
How's the weather from so high
Well, I know it's a shame
Why you cause all this strain
All together
Well, it won't be the first or the last time
I wanted to try
Hey, I'm a space boy, I don't wanna be found
I'm a space boy, so stop holding me down
And I'd love if I never returned to the ground
I'm a space boy, I don't wanna look down
I'm a space boy, I've been floating around
And I'd love, if I never returned to the ground
I can see all the world going by
I'm a space boy, I don't wanna be found
I'm a kill joy, so stop dragging me down
