I have some music on my page and I am transcribing the words here.If you were interested in any of the songs you can play them and read along here.>>See The Sky About To Rain--- by Neil YoungSee the sky about to rain, broken clouds and rain.Locomotive, pull the train, whistle blowing through my brain.Signals curling on an open plain, rolling down the track again.See the sky about to rain.Some are bound to happiness, some are bound to glorySome are bound to live with less, who can tell your story

Nightingale and its Rose

Dear All,Sometimes love could be only from one side: you love someone but she/he doesn't feel the same. What do you think about love without answering?Please see below translation of Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin's rhyme "Nightingale and it's rose".

Nightingale and its RoseAt spring the gardens glooms,with dark silence.The rose with all it splendour, sleeps beneath the moon.Not hearing, seeing the nightingales sweet voi

The Sick Child By Robert Louis Stevenson (1913)Child. O MOTHER, lay your hand on my brow!O mother, mother, where am I now?Why is the room so gaunt and great?Why am I lying awake so late?Mother.

Dream Within a Dream

I went to see Inception last weekend. It was shockingly amazing! After the movie, I just kept wondering did I really in the reality or in a dream. The movie is about how to enter one's deepist dream which is ubconsciouosness, and plant a new memory so that the subject person will change his/her mind of doing things.I guess we all have the same experience that sometimes we can sense that we are in a dream while dreaming. I had the experience like I suddently realize that I was in a dream when cha
