Wizard Of Oz

            
            
             Coincidence .
             The big question: is it really happening?.
             The answer: just take a good look at the movie and play the CD at the same time and of course, it will be obvious that it is true. The CD and the movie are synchronized .One crucial aspect is timing. It is important to begin the CD at the end of the third, and final roar of the MGM lion. It is best if the movie is muted in order to get the complete effect of the synchronizing. The first indicator that everything is going right is the noticeable change from the song "speak to me" to "breath" which coincides exactly with the fade in appearance of the name of the producer. .
             "Leave but don't leave- Auntie Em appears to say, " Leave- to Dorothy and then Dorothy turns to leave looking a bit down. Right after the words" Look around- Dorothy looks around.
             The lyrics "And balanced on the biggest wave you race toward an early grave" plays as Dorothy is balancing herself on the fence and falls from the fence. The song on the run sounds the alarm when the wicked witch of the west appears. The tempo follows the power struggle between the wicked witch, Dorothy and aunt Em. At the first bass of chord of "time" the scene changes to inside Aunt Em's house and Dorothy as well as the rest of the cast appear to move and react to the rhythm and mood of the music. A guitar solo in "time" begins a scene change.
             The fourth song in the album is called, "Breath Reprise" as professor marvel tells Dorothy that she needs to go back home, the words" home, home again are played in the background. At the end of the song as Dorothy is leaving the "magic" wagon the lyrics to the song say, " hear the softly spoken magic spell-.
             When the song changes to "the great gig in the sky" is the moment Dorothy reaches down to grab her bags and the vocals of Clare Tory says " and I am not afraid of dying." as the tornado sweeps her home.
