Secondhand Serenade A Twist In My Story Slow down, the world isn't watching us break down It's safe to say we are alone now, we're alone now Not a whisper, the only noise is the receiver I'm counting the seconds until you break the silence So please just break the silence The whispers turn to shouting The shouting turns to tears Your tears turned into laughter And it takes away our fears So you see, this world doesn't matter to me I'll give up all I have just to breathe The same air as you till the day that I die I can't take my eyes off you I'm longing for words to describe how I'm feeling I'm feeling inspired, my world just flipped, turned upside down And turned around, say, what's that sound? It's my heartbeat, it's getting much louder My heartbeat is stronger than ever I'm feeling so alive, I'm feeling so alive The whispers turn to shouting The shouting turns to tears Your tears turned into laughter And it takes away our fears So you see, this world doesn't matter to me I'll give up all I have just to breathe The same air as you till the day that I die I can't take my eyes off you I'm finally waking up, a twist in my story It's time I open up and let your love right through me I'm finally waking up, a twist in my story It's time I open up and let your love right through me 'Cause that's what you get When you see your life through someone else's eyes
That's what you get, that's what you get So you see, this world doesn't matter to me I'll give up all I have just to breathe The same air as you till the day that I die I can't take my eyes off you So you see, this world doesn't matter to me I'll give up all I have just to breathe The same air as you till the day that I die I can't take my eyes off you
Animal Here we go again I kinda wanna be more than friends, So take it easy on me I'm afraid you're never satisfied Here we go again We're sick like animals, We play pretend You're just a cannibal, And I'm afraid I wont get out alive No, I won't sleep tonight Oh, oh

    Lots of people. Lots of people crowding around us a man shoves a opening for us as we walk through. I block out all the yelling. All I can think about is the fact that I’m going to see Sangwoo soon. We walk into the court and sit down at our places and I look around looking for him. The grin. His eyes meet mine and he gives me the smile. The smile of the sangwoo that I loved. That I could’ve had a life with. All I want is that Sangwoo. But now I know. I know that there is more to the Sangwoo that I care…

    The scene from The Shoe Horn Sonata I chose was act 1, scene 1. The Play begins on a dark silent set, which evokes in the audience the darkness and pain of the characters memories as well as suggesting their stores have been hidden for too long. Out of the darkness with come truth. The play in scene 1 begins with an army nurse that is being interviewed for a documentary program about her experiences as a prisoner of the Japanese. Misto cleverly uses interviews and discussions between Bridie and Sheila throughout the play to develop the plot by revealing to the audience the events in the women’s past. The Opening Scene, with Bridie demonstrating the deep tone/imagery as to the first word ‘Darkness’ , subservient bow, thekow-tow, demanded of the prisoners by their Japanese guards during the war period. It takes the audience straight into the action. The time is now, and Bridie is being asked to recall the events of fifty years earlier.…

    It is curling just like smoke above his shoulder. You tell him to come in sit down but something makes you turn around The door is open you can't close your shelter You try the handle of the road It opens do not be afraid It's you my love, you who are the stranger It's you my love, you who are the stranger. Well, I've been waiting, I was sure we'd meet between the trains we're waiting for I think it's time to board another Please understand, I never had a secret chart to get me to the heart of this or any other matter When he talks like this you don't know what he's after When he speaks like this, you don't know what he's after. Let's meet tomorrow if you choose upon the shore, beneath the bridge that they are building on some endless river Then he leaves the platform for the sleeping car that's warm You realize, he's only advertising one more shelter And it comes to you, he never was a stranger And you say ok the bridge or someplace later. And leaning on your window sill he'll say one day you caused his will to weaken with your love and warmth and shelter And then taking from his wallet An old schedule of trains,he'll say I told you when I came I was a stranger I told you when I came I was a stranger…

    Uh-oh. I’m not ready. I can’t do this. What was I thinking! All at once, my brain went empty. Everything I practiced; my song, the lyrics, the notes, the introductory sentence. It all slipped away. With a racing heart, shallow breathing, and sweating palms, I looked to Ms. Ploof for help. She gave me a small encouraging nod as if she could read my mind. I shut my eyes and imagined myself back in the choir room with Ms. Ploof. Singing the solfege and doing my breathing exercises. The familiar tapping of the piano keys rang through my brain; my voice accompanied it. It felt so normal, so comforting. I took one last breath. Breathe in. One, two, three, four. Breathe out. One, two, three, four. As I exhaled, I could feel my nerves melting…

    Little did I know I had heard that song before – I just didn’t recognize it. A few weeks passed and I recognized a certain type of piano playing on the radio. Aubrey plays this song, I realized. I listened to the song and I remember loving it and wanting to listen to it again. A couple months later, I watched American Idol, and the song is performed several times. A few more months pass and it’s January 2009; my parents decide to buy me an iPod. Later, I put the song on my iPod, and it becomes a favorite of mine that I realize has a lot of meaning – unlike many songs made today. That was how I came to know Sara Bareilles and her biggest hit, “Love Song.”…

    Dancing to the Music

    The music was sensational, inviting her arms to stretch and her legs to spin, and her mind to drift. Her eyes were watching every move she made, as if they were embracing her body in utter tenderness. Her feet were touching the ground gently, flying in the air and hitting the ground again. Her hair blew with every direction she turned to, landing finally on her stimulated face. She was finally relaxed enough to start thinking again, this time more peacefully. She was trying to search inside herself and travel deeper through her soul. She hadn’t done that in years and that’s why it was a bit difficult. She had been trying to avoid doing that for a very long time. She was afraid of what she would find, although it wasn’t unpredictable. Finally, she decided to take the chance and let herself into her heart, for this time it was worth all what she might go through. Once she succeeded to enter, her mind was set clear…
