The Pashupati Seal is a steatite seal that was discovered at the Mohenjo-daro archaeological site of the Indus Valley Civilization. The seal depicts a seated figure that is possibly tricephalic (having three heads). It was once thought to be ithyphallic, an interpretation that is now mostly discarded. He has a horned headdress and is surrounded by animals. He may represent a horned deity.
It is purported to be one of the earliest depictions of the Hindu god Shiva ("Pashupati", meaning "lord of animals", is one of Shiva's epithets) or Rudra, who is associated with asceticism, yoga, and linga; regarded as a lord of animals; and often depicted as having three heads. The figure has often been connected with the widespread motif of the Master of Animals found in ancient Near Eastern and Mediterranean art, and the many other traditions of horned deities.[1]

Discovery and description[edit]
A view of the Mohenjo-daro excavation site. The DK-G Area where the seal was found lies north-east of the Great Bath seen in the foreground.[2]
The seal was uncovered in 1928-29, in Block 1, Southern Portion of the DK-G Area of Mohenjo-daro, at a depth of 3.9 meters below the surface.[3] E.J.H. Mackay, who directed the excavations at Mohenjo-daro, and dated the seal to the Intermediate I Period (now considered to fall around 2350-2000 BCE) in his 1937-38 report in which the seal is numbered 420, giving it its alternate name.[4]
An impression made from the steatite seal
The seal is formed of steatite and measures 3.56 cm by 3.53 cm, with a thickness of 0.76 cm. It has a human figure at the center seated on a platform and facing forward. The legs of the figure are bent at the knees with the heels touching and the toes pointing downwards. The arms extend outwards and rest lightly on the knees, with the thumbs facing away from the body. Eight small and three large bangles cover the arms. The chest is covered with what appear to be necklaces, and a double band wraps around the waist. The figure wears a tall and elaborate headdress with central fan-shaped structure flanked by two large striated horns. The human figure is surrounded by four wild animals: an elephant and a tiger to its one side, and a water buffalo and a rhinoceros on the other. Under the dais are two deer or ibexes looking backwards, so that their horns almost meet the center. At the top of the seal are seven pictographs, with the last apparently displaced downwards for lack of horizontal space.[5][6]
Identification with proto-Shiva[edit]
Marshall's analysis[edit]
An early description and analysis of the seal's iconography was provided by archaeologist John Marshall who had served as the Director-General of the Archaeological Survey of India and led the excavations of the Indus Valley sites. In addition to the general features of the seal described above, he also saw the central figure as a male deity; as three-faced, with a possible fourth face towards the back; and, as ithyphallic, while conceding that what appeared to be the exposed phallus could instead be a tassel hanging from the waistband. Most significantly he identified the seal as an early prototype of the Hindu god Shiva (or, his Vedic predecessor, Rudra), who also was known by the title Pashupati ('lord or father of all the animals') in historic times.[7] In a 1928–29 publication, Marshall summarized his reasons for the identification as follows:
My reasons for the identification are four. In the first place the figure has three faces and that Siva was portrayed with three as well as with more usual five faces, there are abundant examples to prove. Secondly, the head is crowned with the horns of a bull and the trisula are characteristic emblems of Siva. Thirdly, the figure is in a typical yoga attitude, and Siva was and still is, regarded as a mahayogi—the prince of Yogis. Fourthly, he is surrounded by animals, and Siva is par excellence the "Lord of Animals" (Pasupati)—of the wild animals of the jungle, according to the Vedic meaning of the word pashu, no less than that of domesticated cattle.[3]
Later, in 1931, he expanded his reasons to include the fact that Shiva is associated with the phallus in the form of linga, and that in medieval art he is shown with deer or ibexes, as are seen below the throne on the seal.[7][8] Marshall's analysis of the Indus Valley religion, and the Pashupati seal in particular, was very influential and widely accepted for at least the next two generations. For instance, Herbert Sullivan, wrote in 1964 that Marshall's analysis "has been accepted almost universally and has greatly influenced scholarly understanding of the historical development of Hinduism".[9] Writing in 1976, Doris Srinivasan introduced an article otherwise critical of Marshall's interpretation by observing that "no matter what position is taken regarding the seal's iconography, it is always prefaced by Marshall's interpretation. On balance the proto-Śiva character of the seal has been accepted."[10] And Alf Hiltebeitel noted that, following Marshall's analysis, "nearly all efforts at interpreting the [Indus Valley] religion have centered discussion around [the Pashupati seal] figure".[11]
Objections and alternate interpretations[edit]
A lot of discussion has taken place about this seal.[12] While Marshall's work has earned some support, many critics and even supporters have raised several objections.[13] Doris Srinivasan has argued that the figure does not have three faces, or yogic posture, and that in Vedic literature Rudra was not a protector of wild animals.[14][15] Herbert Sullivan and Alf Hiltebeitel also rejected Marshall's conclusions, with the former claiming that the figure was female, while the latter associated the figure with Mahisha, the Buffalo God and the surrounding animals with vahanas (vehicles, mounts) of deities for the four cardinal directions.[9][16] However, Mahisha strikingly resembles Mahesha, an epithet of Shiva Pashupati, besides recalling his vehicle, or vahana Nandi, the bull. This seems to provide further evidence for the interpretation of the Pashupati seal as a proto-Shiva archetype.[17] Various interpretations have been connected to the seal, some relating it to the Vedic deities: Rudra, Agni, Mahisha, Varuna, Yogi, Yogi with Trident as head dress, Ŗșyaśŗnga (sage with horns) who is a contemporary of Dasarataand[citation needed]; and some non-aryan deities, including the unlikely Dravidian origin, sitting in yoga posture.[12]
Current opinion[edit]
Writing in 2002, Gregory L. Possehl concluded that while it would be appropriate to recognize the figure as a deity, its association with the water buffalo, and its posture as one of ritual discipline, regarding it as a proto-Shiva would "go too far."[18]

This plate from the Gundestrup Cauldron (200 BCE–300 AD), discovered in Denmark, probably of Gaulish or Thracian origin, depicting an antlered figure holding a serpent and a torc, flanked by animals (including a stag), and seated under, or adorned with disputed depictions of the pipal leaf is remarkably similar to the depictions on the Pashupati Seal.[19][20]

Background and composition[edit]
"Can't Feel My Face" leaked in late May 2015.[3] It was officially released on June 8, 2015, following a performance by The Weeknd at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference on the same day.[4]
The song is composed in the key of A minor and has a tempo of 108 beats per minute. The vocal range spans from E3 to E5.[5] Multiple sources have interpreted the song to be about cocaine, including a reference by The Weeknd himself in "Reminder": "I just won a new award for a kids show, Talking 'bout a face numbing off a bag of blow".[6][7][8] Musically, Alice Vincent of The Daily Telegraph characterised as "a synth-laden, upbeat pop song",[7] while Andy Kellman of AllMusic described it as "a sleek slice of retro-modern disco-funk".[9]
Critical reception[edit]
"Can't Feel My Face" was lauded by music critics. Brennan Carley of Spin called it "pop perfection", "a thoroughly definitive, all-in jam" and predicted the song would "reach 'Uptown Funk' levels of airplay and ubiquity."[3] Time's Esther Zuckerman deemed the song a "New Favorite Contender for Song of the Summer" and wrote that the chorus was "infectious".[10] In June 2015, Jason Lipshutz of Billboard named it one of the "10 Best Songs of 2015 (So Far)".[11]
Consequence of Sound compared the sound of the song to Michael Jackson.[12] Complex wrote: "The song has a classic pop feel to it, with The Weeknd channeling a bit of Michael Jackson while crooning over the bouncy, and energetic production from Max Martin."[13] Pitchfork's reviewer Renato Pagnani placed it in the Best New Track category and made the same comparison: "Perhaps recognizing just how dead-on Tesfaye's Michael Jackson impersonation was on his cover of "Dirty Diana", the producers anchor the track with a bassline that could have come from an alternate-dimension "Thriller" produced by New Age composer Vangelis instead of Quincy Jones.
Rolling Stone ranked "Can't Feel My Face" at number one on its year-end list to find the 50 best songs of 2015.[14] Billboard also picked "Can't Feel My Face" as the best song of 2015 on its year-end critics' picks:
The Weeknd's irresistible, Michael Jackson-esque "Can't Feel My Face" is so perfectly crafted that it's impossible to imagine a world or alternative reality in which this song isn't number one. There are enough hooks in this one single for a dozen chart-toppers, but Abel Tesfaye [The Weeknd's real name] packed them all into three-and-a-half minutes of sheer ecstasy—and, naturally, topped the Hot 100 for the first time.[15]
Village Voice named "Can't Feel My Face" the third-best single released in 2015 on their annual year-end critics' poll, Pazz & Jop.[16]
Chart performance[edit]
"Can't Feel My Face" debuted at number 24 on the US Billboard Hot 100, making a Hot Shot Debut on the chart; it was The Weeknd's third Hot Shot Debut in a year after his previous singles "The Hills" and "Earned It". It produced first-week digital sales of 93,000 units and garnered 4.2 million US streams and 38 million airplay audiences.[17] In its third week on the chart, the song reached number six on the Hot 100, making it his third top 10 hit, and his second solo top 10 hit. After three weeks at number two, "Can't Feel My Face" ascended to number one on the Hot 100, replacing OMI's "Cheerleader" and becoming The Weeknd's first number-one single on that chart. It has spent three non-consecutive weeks in three separate runs at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the sixth song to achieve this feat, and the first song to do so since Bruno Mars's "Grenade" in 2011. In its third week at number one, "The Hills" reached number two, becoming the first act since The Black Eyed Peas to attain the top two positions on the Hot 100 as a lead artist.[18] The following week, "The Hills" topped the chart, making The Weeknd the first artist since Taylor Swift to replace themselves at the top spot; "Can't Feel My Face" fell to number three. It spent nineteen weeks in the chart's top ten before dropping out on November 21, 2015. As of March 2016, it has sold 2,413,488 copies in the US.[19]
It debuted in Australia on June 20 at number 27.[20] It later peaked at number two on that chart. In New Zealand, the song debuted at number 12 on June 22 and spent four non-consecutive weeks at number two, before reaching number one in its ninth week on the chart.[21] In the United Kingdom, "Can't Feel My Face" debuted at number 34, two weeks after "The Hills" had debuted on the chart. It later peaked at number three, becoming The Weeknd's second top 10 single in the country (after "Earned It" peaked at number four earlier in the year), and was also his highest-charting single in the country at the time.[when?]
Music video[edit]
The accompanying music video, directed by Grant Singer, was released on July 28, 2015 on Apple Music. As of July 2018, the video has received over 920 million views, becoming the third most viewed video by The Weeknd behind "The Hills" and "Starboy" which have received over 1 billion views each.[22] It begins with The Weeknd singing in a bar to an unimpressed audience, with the exception of his love interest (played by Chanel Iman[23]), until a man (played by Rick Wilder, who appeared in "The Hills" video), arrives and sets him on fire. The entire crowd, including the love interest, then stand up and starts to dance. The video ends with The Weeknd running out of the bar, still burning.
Time's reviewer Nolan Feeney wrote that The Weeknd "shines the spotlight on Tesfaye as he delivers a (literally) explosive performance".[24] For Bianca Gracie of Idolator, "the usually-moody singer is refreshingly energetic".[23] Jon Blistein of Rolling Stone deemed the video "simple but riveting".[25] Slava Pastuk of Noisey called the video "a bit corny, but weirdly great?"[26] USA Today's Brian Mansfield wrote: "Like his previous video for The Hills, it's sometimes troubling clip, full of fire and mayhem."[27] Jason Lipshutz of Billboard opined that the video is "certainly a sonic homage to MJ, and watching the Weeknd strut around ablaze is an eery [sic] coincidence."[28] Similarly, Michelle Geslani of Consequence of Sound wrote: "Abel Tesfaye is seen busting a couple of moves — no doubt, again, channeling Michael Jackson".[29] Eric Diep of BET also described the video as an "homage to Michael Jackson", noting similarities in the vocals and dance moves.[30]
Live performances[edit]
The Weeknd performed "Can't Feel My Face" live for the first time at Apple WWDC 2015, the day before its digital release. On July 10, Taylor Swift invited The Weeknd on stage for her 1989 World Tour in East Rutherford at the MetLife Stadium.[31] The song was performed live on television for the first time at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards.[32] The Weeknd also sang it during Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, which aired on December 8, 2015.[33]
Cover versions[edit]
On August 11, 2015, Canadian alternative rock band Walk Off The Earth covered the song, and this has over 14 million views on YouTube between two versions.[34][35] The song was also covered by Australian metalcore band The Amity Affliction for the Fearless compilation Punk Goes Pop Vol. 7 which was released on June 22, 2017. The song appears as part of a mashup entitled "Can't Rock My Dream Face" on the Umphrey's McGee album Zonkey, which further incorporates parts of "Rock With You" (Michael Jackson) and "Dreams" (Fleetwood Mac).
In popular culture[edit]
On July 27, 2015, actor Tom Cruise performed to "Can't Feel My Face" in a "Lip Sync Battle" on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.[36][37] The song is also featured in the 2015 video game Madden NFL 16.[38] Singer Stevie Wonder performed a parody of the song during a surprise pop-up concert at Central Park's SummerStage in New York City, August 17, 2015.[39] NASCAR driver David Ragan posted a video lip syncing the song to his No. 55 Toyota in response to a commonly asked question "What is it like driving a NASCAR Sprint Cup car?"[40][41] On September 7, 2015, popular YouTube channel Barack's Dubs uploaded a mashup video of former U.S. President Barack Obama singing the song.[42] The song has also been named 2015's US Song of the Summer by Spotify.[43][44] On September 15, 2015, during a game of "The Wheel Of Musical Impersonations" on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Fallon sang "Can't Feel My Face" in the style of Sting, and Ariana Grande sang it in the style of Céline Dion. The song also appeared in a season 2 episode of hit soap opera Empire called "Be True", aired 21 October 2015. Jay McGuiness and Aliona Vilani danced their showdance to Can't Feel My Face in the 2015 Strictly Come Dancing final on 19 December 2015.

"You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine" (written by Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff) is a song performed by R&B singer Lou Rawls on his 1976 album All Things in Time. The song proved to be Rawls' breakthrough hit, reaching number one on both the R&B[1] and Easy Listening charts as well as number four on the dance chart [2] and number two on the US Billboard Hot 100, where it was kept from the top spot for two weeks by "You Should Be Dancing" by The Bee Gees[3] and "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty" by KC and the Sunshine Band,[4] respectively. This was the first and only time that one of Rawls' records managed to reach Billboard's pop top ten. It was the first big hit for Philadelphia International to feature the reformulated MFSB, after many of the original members left Gamble and Huff for better opportunities.[5] The song started Rawls' live shows from 1977 on.
The single went on to sell over a million copies and was certified gold by the RIAA.[6]

It can also be heard in the films The Hot Chick (2002), Guess Who (2005), Disturbia (2007), Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009), Hit and Run (2012), Veronica Mars (2014), and on the TV sitcoms My Wife and Kids (2001–2005), in which Lou Rawls himself sings it to Damon Wayans during a colonoscopy, That '70s Show (1998–2006), South Park (1997–), Two and a Half Men (2003–2015), and Psych (2006–2014). The song could also be heard in an episode of The Proud Family, where Lou Rawls sings and dances with Penny Proud. In addition, it was performed by the singer in doll form in an Action League Now! segment on KaBlam!. The song "If You Could Love Me" by Edwyn Collins uses many of the same chords, and has a similar sound. Rocco DiSpirito and Karina Smirnoff also danced the rumba to this song in week 2 of season 7 of Dancing with the Stars.
Cover versions[edit]
"You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine" has been covered by singers Michael Bublé, Laura Pausini, reggae singer John Holt and by the Dub Pistols (who use a sample of John Holt's version) on their Speakers and Tweeters album. Jazz saxophonist Stanley Turrentine covered the song on his 1976 album The Man with the Sad Face.[13] as did Hank Crawford on Hank Crawford's Back. This song was also featured on The Proud Family Soundtrack.
