Omnis homines, qui ses student praestare ceteris animalibus, summa ope niti decent ne uitam silentio transeant ueluti pecora, quae natura prona atque uentri oboedientia finxit.
Sic intellegit!
Q.E.D. (:>)
I was trying to be witty with the previous post and then I heard this.

This is a song from one of my very favorite singer/songwriters:Enya. I cound not find a good video of her singing it, so I picked the best one I could find that communicates. PS: Quiet is good but eloquent expression is better!This song is a little of both, with lots of colors. By the way you really sing and play the piano quite beautifully!
Ok now I am on a roll...

Here is my favorite song of all time(The Hook},done by a group that really sounds pretty good. The lyrics are both ridiculous and poignant, the music catchy yet classical..."it does not matter what I say as long as I sing with inflection". You got to love that line!

This is plain beautiful:

Here is the same group singing a beautiful Beach Boys song... Please overlook the repetitively flat note on "knows" toward the end. The last one is ok but the two before sound like crap but maybe it is the wrong note totally I am not sure. Anyhow...

Here is a Gnarlz Barkley song: Crazy by a different a capella group. The lead goes off a little at times but she really nails the message of the song:love is the ultimate mental illness but who would want it any other way.

Same Gnarls Barkley song but different and beautiful at the same time:

I am tired and need to get up early and go to work but here is a veritable gem, showing that music is like a flower that brightens even the most dismal of settings{within and without}.

This reminds me of something...

This song is beautiful and sad at the same time.I don't listen to it to much in its original form with Chris Martin singing it because it is just too much emotion and it easily affects a person, anyhow in this form it is a little more tolerable...

Oh I forgot to tell you that I hoped that postings would create a notification of some sort. So you have confirmed. I hope you are in a good mood because unless you tell me not to post this music on here, I am posting all the music that I like and hope you listen to it.Also,God bless the peace and the picture!It took you long enough to change it!

You are right vibrato is not that aesthetically pleasing.It seems a vibrato is everywhere.I try hard not to have a little bitty micro vibrato.Can't help it sometimes if I get too caught up emotionally then it escapes my mouth.It sounds different though.I think I am in a tree looking at the sun or something.Seriously,I think I am going to need an antidepressant between T@T and day after labor day.You probably don't miss us to much though...
PS: Orange Hawaiian shirts are very nice.

I once heard someone say that music is their great friend. But music is like a prison warden to me.Passing by in waves tantalizingly jiggling keys and waiting to see the harmonious expression of excrutiating sadness flee across my face.It overwhelms me and is exhausting to the point that I don't even want to hear it anymore.
What happened to my post?

Where is the light switch?
I found it:A good example of cross sensory perception. It goes hand in hand with absolute identification. A musical note just as a rose "by any other name would smell as sweet"!(:>)

If Beethoven were alive he would be kissing every single Russian in this choral interpretation. I don't know why I know but I just know...

{God created man and rested on Sunday,woke up created Jesus, but on the next week he woke up and thought now I need a couple of guys to right my music ie: Beethoven/Schubert}
This being my last entry into this blog, I had to pick something from Schubert whose words,sad though they are,are mine:

This is an example of how words have literal meaning if you personalize the song and figure out the message...(:>)

I think it comes in a choral version.

Ok this is like very sad indeed, as they are so poor and the music says "don't treat us like stray humans but as part of the world family"
Maybe I can find the Enlish translation somewhere.
