  • Style (Orbital song)

    "Style" is a 1999 single by the electronica duo Orbital. It was their fourth consecutive single, and fifth overall, to reach the top 20 of the UK singles chart, peaking at number 13.

    The track takes its name from the analogue electronic musical instrument, the stylophone, which is used extensively on the track. The main version includes a sample of "Oh L'amour" performed by Dollar, while the "Bigpipe Style" version (which features the main riff played on bagpipes) samples Suzi Quatro's hit "Devil Gate Drive". Orbital's request to use a sample from a Rolf Harris stylophone demonstration disc was turned down. The other versions are "Old Style", a more club-oriented dance mix; and "New Style", a retro-styled version with live bass by Andy James.

    All of the mixes are by Orbital themselves; the duo had wanted Stereolab to remix the track, but the latter group were on tour at the time and unavailable, so the "New Style" mix is Orbital's own version of a Stereolab-type mix.

  • Marah (Bible)

    Marah (Hebrew: מָרָה meaning 'bitter') is one of the locations which the Torah identifies as having been travelled through by the Israelites, during the Exodus .

    The liberated Israelites set out on their journey in the desert, somewhere in the Sinai Peninsula. And it becomes clear that they are not spiritually free. Reaching Marah, the place of a well of bitter water, bitterness and murmuring, Israel receives a first set of divine ordinances and the foundation of the Shabbat. The shortage of water there is followed by a shortness of food. Moses throws a log into the bitter water, making it sweet. Later God sends manna and quail. The desert is the ground where God acquires his people. The 'murmuring motif' will - from here on - be a recurring perspective of the wandering Jewish people.

    Events

    The narrative concerning Marah in the Book of Exodus states that the Israelites had been wandering in the desert for three days without water; according to the narrative, Marah had water, but it was undrinkably bitter, hence the name, which means bitterness. In the text, when the Israelites reach Marah they complain about the undrinkability, so Moses complains to Yahweh, and Yahweh responds by showing Moses a certain piece of wood, which Moses then throws into the water, making it sweet and fit to drink. Some biblical scholars see the narrative about Marah as having originated as an aetiological myth seeking to justify its name.

    You don't have to justify
    Anything you say or do
    And you don't have to testify to
    Anything I hold as true
    And you don't have to mystify me
    Oh but, darlin' you do
    And if, you won't be here anymore
    Then I won't be around at all
    You don't have to be like anyone I've ever known before
    You just have to come in here and
    Darlin' please, shut the door
    I said, I can't stand it anymore
    Justine come in and shut the door
    You don't have to realize
    Anything I'm trying to do
    And I don't wanna criticize
    Anything you hold as true
    And I don't have to idolize you
    Oh but, darlin' I do
    And if, you won't be here anymore
    Then I won't be alive at all
    So you don't have to justify
    Anything you say or do
    And you don't have to mystify me
    Oh but, darlin' you do
