How songs just make you tear up and feel special inside

Some songs like the ones that are playing (unless you paused them) just sometimes puts tears in my eyes. I know there are some other songs that you might think could bring tears to people eyes, I'm just gonna talk about these songs that are playing because they mean a lot to me. 

One song that is on the playlist is "For the First Time" by The Script. I just love how he talks about this girl (his girlfriend) and how she has a broken heart because they fight all the time and never come to a conclusion, and he describes how they never have time to see each other until the night when they "start with cheap bottles of wine" and relax and talk "for the first time". She then feels like she has revived herself and her heart has healed. I feel like my girlfriend and I never have times because we both work. We also fight a lot and that breaks both of our hearts and then when we come meet together, we just sit in the tall grass and talk as if we have met for the first time. I don't know about y'all but that song makes me feel like it is talking to me and how we can just forget about the world and just relax and worry about US and not THE WORLD. I was getting frustrated about how I couldn't find it until just now so I immediately bought it and now I'm happy <(^.^)>.


The next song that is on the playlist is "Don't You Wanna Stay" by Jason Aldean featuring Kelly Clarkson.  Both great singers, and both creating an amazing song just makes me feel happy. I really don't know why it makes me happy, just makes me wonder if "I wanna stay with "her" for a little while" and then makes me feel glad that I have what I have and how far I have gone with my life. I asked my girlfriend if she wanted to fall asleep with me and want me to hold her tight and she was speechless because I took that phrase from the song, and because she thought it was really sweet, maybe just because I stole the phrase. haha. It also makes me feel like I want to dance (slow dance) with someone and enjoy the moment. I think people should enjoy the moment and never let life pass before your eyes. Sooner or later life will be gone and you won't realize it until it's too late. I bet y'all think I'm corny too. :P


The last song I have to discuss is "If I Die Young" by The Band Perry. This song makes me realize "what if I did die young...what would happen?". She explains that if she died young, she would want to bury in satin (not Saturn) and laid on a bed of roses, while being sunk in a river before the sun rose. She has it all planned out. She also talks about her family and what would they do when they see their daughter being buried underneath them. If my family had to bury me, I would want them to bury me formal (in my uniform), put me under, and not worry about if I'm safe or not because I plan on protecting my family, close friends, and anyone that needs my help. If I could, I would love to come back as a guardian angel and protect the ones that are in need. Just these songs make me think about life and how much people (even me) take it for granted. 


Well if you would like to comment or tell me your favorite songs, just send me an email at thejapfiles@gmail.com and we can chat. Also if you ever need help with life or just need someone to talk to, just email me and I'll respond as soon as I can. I love to help people and make them happy. Well I'm going to go listen to music. Drop me a line. Be safe and have a great night. LATER PEEPS

The Beatles

Bio: (Source: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1397313/bio)


Mini Biography
The Beatles are the greatest popular group of all-time. Arguably the most successful entertainers of the 20th century, they contributed to music, film, literature, art, and fashion, made a continuous impact on popular culture and the lifestyle of several generations. Their songs and images carrying powerful ideas of love, peace, help, and imagination evoked creativity and liberation that outperformed the rusty Soviet propaganda and contributed to breaking walls in the minds of millions, thus making impact on human history.


In July of 1957, in Liverpool, Paul McCartney met John Lennon and joined his group, The Quarrymen. George Harrison joined them in February of 1958. In 1959 they played regular gigs at a club called The Casbah. They were joined by vocalist Stuart Sutcliffe, and by drummer Peter Best, whose mother owned The Casbah club. Early incarnations of the band included The Quarrymen, Johnny & the Moon Dogs, and The Silver Beetles. John Lennon dreamed up the band's final name, The Beatles, a mix of beat with beetle. In 1960 The Beatles toured in Hamburg, Germany. There they were hired by singer Tony Sheridan as a backing band for his recordings for the German Polydor label. During the year of 1961 they played regular gigs at the Cavern club and were looking for a new manager. By the mutual decision of the Beatles' members, their first manager, namedAllan Williams, was replaced.
Brian Epstein was invited to be the manager of the Beatles in November 1961. His diplomatic way of dealing with the Beatles and with their previous manager resulted in a December 10, 1961, meeting, where it was decided that Epstein would manage the band. A 5-year management contract was signed by four members at then-drummer Pete Best's home on January 24, 1962. Epstein did not put his signature on it, giving the musicians the freedom of choice. At that time McCartney and Harrison were under 21, so the paper wasn't technically legal. None of them realized this and it did not matter to them. What mattered was their genuine trust in Epstein. He changed their early image for the good. Brian Epstein made them wear suits and ties, classic shoes, and newer haircuts. They were advised to update their manners on stage and quit eating and drinking in public. Brian Epstein worked hard on both the Beatles' image and public relations. He improved their image enough to make them accepted by the conservative media of their time. Most if not all of their communication off-stage was managed by Brian Epstein.


In May of 1962 Epstein canceled the group's contract with Tony Sheridan and the German label. During the year of 1962 Brian Epstein was persistent in trying to sign a record deal for the Beatles, even after being rejected by every major record label in UK, like Columbia, Philips, Oriole, Decca, and Pye. Epstein transferred a demo tape to disc with HMV technician Jim Foy, who liked their song and referred it to Parlophone's George Martin. On June 6, 1962, at the Abbey Road studios, they passed Martin's audition with the exception of Pete Best. George Martin liked them, but recommended the change of a drummer. Being asked by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison; Epstein fired Pete Best. After a mutual decision the band was completed with the session drummer, named Ringo Starr, who duly became the fourth Beatle. In September of 1962 The Beatles recorded their first hit Love Me Do, which charted in UK, and reached the top of the US singles chart in 1964.


In early performances the Beatles included popular songs from the 40s and 50s. They played rock-n-roll and R&B-based pop songs while they gradually worked on developing a style of their own. Their mixture of rock-n-roll, skiffle, blues, country, soul, and a simplified version of 1930s jazz resulted in several multi-genre and cross-style sounding songs. They admitted their interest in the music of Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, Little Richard and other entertainers of the 40s, 50s and early 60s. Beatles' distinctive vocals were sometimes reminiscent of the Everly Brothers' tight harmonies. By 1965 their style absorbed ethnic music influences from India and other Oriental cultures, and later expanded into psychedelic experiments and classical-sounding compositions. Their creative search covered a range of styles from jazz and rock to a cosmopolitan cross-cultural and cross-genre compositions.



Now that you have learned a little about "The Beatles", I hope that you enjoyed learning something about the arts of music. If you didn't like it then email me and I'll come up with some other ideas in which people will love to read on my blog. Hope everyone has a great night and be safe. Night Peeps

Facebook + Twitter + Friends Misunderstood = Loads Of Laughters

So this blog is a special blog because of these reasons:

-My previous blog was a little hazy
-My friends are getting confused
-Technology is ruling my life
-Lastly....b/c I want this blog to be special :P

Oh by the way people, at the bottom of this page, there is a media player with some music that was requested awhile ago, and I thought that if you wanted to listen to some music that you like, just drop me a line at thejapfiles@gmail.com. If you do drop me a line, I'll blog about you and what your music is about (yes, that means I'll research about the artist and music and etc). So if you wanna listen to your music, you can drop me a line on here, and I'll post it on here, or you can turn on your nifty little iTunes and ignore what I have (which would make me sad).


Okay, back to what I was talking about...my last blog was a little hazy so let me clarify...erin and taylor are dating. Taylor is a guy and Erin is a girl. They are both my best-friends. They live in the same town as I do and they know me really well. Now that we got that out of the way, feel free to ask me anything else other than what I have just explained.

My friends get confused easily. This is why I blog about what needs to be explained. Even though my title is a little racist, that doesn't mean that I am racist. I am half-Asian. So that explains why I named my site "The Jap Files", because I write what I wanna talk about...which in this case...about my friends.

Technology is ruling my world and others as well. I bet my life saving that every computer will have a computer (no matter what it is) in their home before the year 2012. I say this because everything we own and operate is computer-operated. Soon enough, the world will be taken over by computers. I mean I would love to have Arkansas become more futuristic(yes,.....I would like a farming state to become technological).

Now the last thing about why I want this blog to be special, is because I want it to be. Yes, because I said so. How does that make you feel??? Pretty shocked that I just controlled what you are reading. I could just talk and talk and talk and all you would be doing is reading and reading and reading until YOU saw the end of this page and saw the legal copyright laws at the bottom. Unless you think that you should read this again...in which...be my guest. :)


Anyway, tomorrow is church, then work, so I'm going to go on to bed before I pass out on the keyboard and type a bunch of random letters and keys. Hope everyone is having a great summer and hope everyone is safe. Peace out Girl-Scouts (and Boy-Scouts :P)
