On the elegiac "I Bet on Losing Dogs," she commiserates with the helpless and the hopeless: I know they're losing and I pay for my place by the ring where I'll be looking in their eyes when they're downI'll be there on their side, I'm losing by their side.

Ms. Deyn, who stars as a spunky Scottish farm girl in Mr. Davies's elegiac period film, bounded to greet him looking raffishly undone, and resolutely modern, in an outsize gray sweatshirt and jeans, her honey-tone hair hanging loosely to her shoulders, no discernible makeup brightening her face.

The pun suggests the "debts" Howe owes to her ancestors and their works, the "depths" of her engagement with material traces of ideas (which often strand her in the literal depths of libraries and archives), and the "deaths" of parents and loved ones that have shaped Howe's elegiac intensities.

We're still wearing shorts and flip-flops, but from here on out, each time we light the grill or slice open a watermelon or pour out an iced coffee from our cold-brew stash in the fridge, it'll feel elegiac, as if a moment is passing and fast.

Over the course of two albums, 20 singles, and countless DJ sets, Schaufler's work as Superpitcher has seen him become a poster-boy for the lovelorn and bluntly elegiac clubber, a producer gifted with the ability to exert influence on emotion without ever sliding into rank, calculated manipulation.

She underlines the ecological message with elegiac "haikus" (actually prose poems in 5-7-5 syllable stanzas), which describe subjects of the book, often with awkward anthropomorphism: frozen water's edge retreating and receding glacier's final breath Using climate change to frame the photographs skews the viewer's experience of them.

The notorious 1962 Decca tryout tape, where they failed the audition, and deserved to, seems almost impossible to reconcile with the final, elegiac side of "Abbey Road," or with the music of the last rooftop concert, in London in January, 1969—all that passionate, smoky, supple playing and singing.

She was also wonderful on Sunday in Ravel's "Cinq Mélodies Populaires Grecques," the composer's elegiac settings of Greek songs, accompanied colorfully here by Ms. Wu. It was a good idea to precede the Berger premiere with the Ravel, a piece that also explores desire through plush, romantic colors.

These days, now that I've found my particular way of seeing, thanks in large part to the making of my third book, My Dakota — an elegiac work that interweaves my photographs and spare text pieces — I'm more comfortable allowing some of Alex's influence to shine through my work.

"I Won't Back Down" (21977) Petty's classic "stand my ground" anthem has lived many lives, including an elegiac version performed at an iconic post-21/21989 concert and a news-making lawsuit against Sam Smith's Grammy-winning 2014 smash "Stay With Me" that resulted in a shared credit and royalties.

The final song was the gorgeously elegiac solo number "Flags of the Old Regime," written after the death of Amy Winehouse, but whose chorus could not but resonate differently tonight: I don't want to die any more Any more than I did want to die before Some traumas will never heal.

And while the New York ADFF's lineup features plenty of films about the usual starchitects — from the Rem Koolhaas doc REM and the Australian short Getting Frank Gehry to the elegiac Zaha: An Architectural Legacy and the prismatic Jean Nouvel: Reflections — it will also take up more unexpected and urgent topics.

Three pieces stayed with me: Erin Griffith's vivid journey into #ThankGodIt'sMonday workaholic culture; Derek M. Norman's elegiac lament for the demise of the Half King, killed by soaring rents beside the High Line on Manhattan's West Side, that monument to gentrification; and Meher Ahmad's fascinating dispatch on the bulldozing of Karachi.

In fact, I know that the approach of my birthday is one reason my father is on my mind, both because he isn't around to celebrate, and also because he died the day before my birthday, back in 2001, so I tend to get a little misty-eyed and elegiac the week before.

Even museum artifacts are joining the chorus: The title poem of Robin Coste Lewis's National Book Award–winning Voyage of the Sable Venus (2015) uses prosody alone to turn a centuries-long catalogue of museum objects depicting black women—often as decorative elements in furniture—into an elegiac restitution of erased interiorities.

Made up of the seventy-eight-year-old author's eight previous volumes of verse and a new sequence—the bold and elegiac "Thirst"—"Half-Light" is both the culmination of a distinguished career and a poetic ur-text about how homophobia, doubt, and a parent's confusing love can shape a gay child.

Program 2, on Wednesday and Thursday, brings a modified version of the acclaimed "New Work for Goldberg Variations," by Pam Tanowitz, as well as commissioned works by Justin Peck and Gemma Bond, and the Paul Taylor Dance Company, performing the elegiac "Promethean Fire" in tribute to its recently deceased founder and namesake.

As the frontman and chief songwriter of this Los Angeles-based rock band, he found success in his own right with the 1996 release of his group's unexpected breakout: the T Bone Burnett-produced album "Bringing Down the Horse," which featured the elegiac yet anthemic hit "One Headlight" and won them two Grammys.
|
|
Timed to coincide with her pie-happy final performance as Nettie Fowler in "Carousel," the release showcases Ms. Fleming at her most triumphantly populist and mainstream — at the same time she's dubbing for Hollywood, dishing on her love of Joni Mitchell and the Roots, and lending her elegiac gifts to John McCain's funeral.

There's Starr Saphir, the flinty matriarchal figure who led birders even as she became significantly ill with cancer, and Chris Cooper, 55, a biomedical editor who birds by ear (using birdsong to identify his quarry) and whose elegiac exposition on what he called the "7 pleasures of birding" pops up the all over the internet.

While this album often feels elegiac, as Mering's voice looms and languid strings proliferate, it's ultimately threaded through with hope–with the idea that attempting to understand the world, to accept that this is sometimes not possible, and to love and know each other regardless (as on the fantastic, genuinely Carole King-reminiscent "Picture You Better").

Larry Levis is so much identified with the rhetoric of elegiac poetry — his choice of subjects, from beauty to hopelessness; his position as a poet of the San Joaquin Valley; his reputation since his death by heart attack in 1996 at the age of 49 — that it can be easy to forget how extraordinarily tender he was.

Unfortunately, little attention is falling this year on Harrison's major orchestral scores: the Symphony on G and the "Elegiac Symphony," which show his command of jagged sonorities after the fashion of Ives and Ruggles; and the Piano Concerto, whose gloriously unhinged Stampede movement rouses audiences into a frenzy on the rare occasions that the work is played.

Instead of taking the larger-than-life screen approach with that portrait everyone loves to use of him or a slo-mo attempt to make a snuff film elegiac, I got a fucking push notification on my phone from the museum AI. "Please be advised that the following content may be disturbing to some," it read.

That's plain throughout his new album "Death Race for Love," but the thickly layered moaning vocals on this song — "All the drugs I did, they weren't worth it/now I'm worthless/I hope my new lady thinks I'm perfect" — show just how far Juice WRLD is able to bend hip-hop, turning it into something soft, interior and elegiac.

Set in provincial Burgundy in the early 433s, "A Sport and a Pastime," the 1967 novel by the American writer James Salter, depicts a love affair between an aimless Yale dropout named Dean and an 18-year-old local shop girl, Anne-Marie, through the lushly fragmented, elegiac recollections of an unnamed narrator who knew them.

It's a way to remake an unhappy reality and exert control ("Werewolves in Their Youth"), a means of grappling with personal or historical disaster ("The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay"), or, in the case of his elegiac and deeply poignant new novel, "Moonglow," a tool for connecting the dots of a family's life and making sense of the past.

Songs like "Home Sweet Home," an elegiac number that was released in the wake of the since reversed decision to close fabric, a decision which felt like the beginning of end times for British nightlife, and so became the perfect soundtrack to it—and that, surely, is the sign of artists who truly matter, who truly speak to time and place.

Crushed, the poet composed aborted lines of abject grief: child sprung from the two of us—showing us our ideal… father and mother who sadly existing survive him as the two extremes— … —from whence his death—o- blitrating this little child "self" To read Mallarmé's poetry against a backdrop of repeated unpreventable tragic human loss is to attune oneself to its elegiac aspects.

You could have a good old gawp of some sadly underwhelming photos of clubs in the northern town of Preston, or find yourself reminiscing about the forgotten nightclubs of Asheville, North Carolina, courtesy of regular Mountain Xpress correspondent Jerry Sternberg's elegiac masterpiece, "Vanished Asheville nightclubs" which left me in a state of despondency, much as my grandfather talking about his youth does.

This club includes, but is not limited to: the Books' mesmerizingly erudite The Lemon of Pink, J Dilla's accidentally elegiac posthumous classic Donuts, the Pet Sounds-as-SAD Lamp musings of Panda Bear's Person Pitch, The Tough Alliance's aggressive Cassavetes-quoting A New Chance, Air France's utopian No Way Down EP, the Jonathan Richman-with-an-MPC glories of Jens Lekman's Night Falls on Kortedala.

When Trinity Wall Street presented a Harrison centennial concert in April featuring a chorus and percussion ensemble from Rutgers University performing "La Koro Sutro," I was knocked out by the music's sheer inventiveness: the allure of its component parts; the instrumental colorings; the intricate choral writing that shifts from stretches of elegiac melodic lines sung in unison to intense passages where choristers alternate phrases antiphonally.

The creators of UNKLE documentary Artist & Repertoire discuss their subject's instructive career Biographical music documentaries usually fall in one of two categories: there are the worshipful nostalgia pieces, made for fans by fans, that seek to immerse the viewer in a completist bubble bath of hits and ephemera; then there are the elegiac tributes, following a familiar skyrocket-and-crash narrative of an artist who tragically left the world too soon.

In "Over Time," an elegy for jazz pianist Lenny Tristano, Coolidge writes: As with music there is no saying no bridge made fit the yawn of the day the dogs pure faucets turned off their chains of pros and cons tristano dies The two opening lines are directly elegiac: like music, death and loss are impossible to describe, especially as one stands facing the yawning indifference of the days that continue rolling onward.

Given Johns' antipathy to Expressionism in general (and Abstract Expressionism in particular, which he memorably skewered in such works as "Painting with Two Balls," 1960), it is hard to imagine him even liking Munch's frequently lurid Symbolism all that much — even if he did borrow the title for a set of three paintings, "Between the Clock and the Bed" (1981-83), from Munch's elegiac "Self-Portrait between the Clock and the Bed" (1940-303).

In death he joined a pride of literary lions, like the poets John Ashbery, whose voice — "by turns playful and elegiac, absurd and exquisite," his obituary said — remained singular despite his many imitators; Richard Wilbur, the American laureate and Pulitzer Prize winner whose words, by many lights, coalesced into things of beauty; and Derek Walcott, the Nobel winner who filtered his acute observations on colonialism and culturalism through the rustling palms of his native Caribbean.

Indeed, Acid Rap's "Cocoa Butter Kisses" finds Chance in a heartbreakingly forlorn mood as he describes alienating himself from his mother by smoking cigarettes, which she can smell on his clothes ("I miss my cocoa butter kisses"), not to mention "Paranoia," about gang violence and the weather ("Everybody dies in the summer/so pray to God for a little more spring") — a theme taken up by Coloring Book's "Summer Friends," less terrified this time around and more elegiac.

At Sander, the label that once defined a way for women to enjoy their power while speaking softly and wearing a great suit — that built confidence and sensuality from the inside out, the husband and wife team of Luke and Lucie Meier (him, formerly of Supreme and his own label, OAMC; her, ex-Dior) r offered a dual-gender interpretation of the house's aesthetic rooted in an almost elegiac combination of novitiate-like austerity and handicraft.
