"There You’ll Be" by Faith Hill is a wonderful ballad as well as one of my favorite songs. This is one of the many every-day songs that we listen to‚ but we never really look into it and compare and contrast it will ballads from the past. For example‚ "Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair" by S. Foster is a ballad that was written in 1853 and people still know it to this day. "Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair" is different from "There You’ll Be" because it rhymes. Where-as Faith Hill’s song doesn’t

I (a sansei) thought I would pass along some brief thoughts on the movie "Pearl Harbor‚" which I saw Friday. Mostly‚ it was innocuous in a thoroughly Hollywood way. Which is to say‚ it truly is (as Disney hyped) a love story‚ framed around the attack‚ which is really just a plot device and an excuse for typical Bruckheimer explosions and fireballs.
