Life Ain't Always Beautiful

生活不总是美丽的，不过这些挫折能让我们更坚强，更有智慧，幸福总是有方式让我们去等待。等待着最后的期待，你应该明白，没那么悲哀。当时钟对齐12点的时候，我的梦想是否还在等候，生活不总是那么美丽，不过生活的旅程还是很让人向往。在现实中不幸的事情，从来都没有过好的时机，这种事情有时让我们觉得无趣，有时让我们无法面对， 我觉得，我的快乐不等于我的生活是完...

俄罗斯在叶利钦时代，一场史无前例的革命给俄罗斯的经济带来重创，然而，普京接掌政权后，俄罗斯的经济很快走出困境，朝着国富民富的目标大步前进，其发展变化令全世界惊叹更令中国汗颜。2007年，世界银行发布了二份极具震撼力的报告。第一份是俄罗斯经济状况的报告，它指出,俄罗斯经济增长是符合穷人利益的经济增长。第二份是涉及中国的报告，它指出，在2001年至2005年间，中国经济以每年10%的速度增长，但13亿人口中最贫穷的10%...

李庄认罪背后的丛林法则

张雪忠（上海）

当李庄在二审中表示认罪后，一些主张李庄有罪并希望其得到惩罚的人，就像赢得了一场竞技体育比赛一样兴奋，并认为李庄是罪有应得。而一些主张李庄无罪或是主张司法机关违背法定程序的人，则对此深感沮丧，并认为李庄不够坚定。在本文中，我想基于自然或丛林状态与社会状态的区别，对李庄的认罪行为进行粗浅的...

 

John Mayer

Neon

Here is another song from the CD "Room For Squares".

When sky blue gets dark enough
To see the colors of the city lights
A trail of ruby red and diamond white
Hits her like a sunrise


She comes and goes and comes and goes
Like no one can


Tonight she's out to lose herself
And find a high on Peachtree Street
From mixed drinks to techno beats it's always
Heavy into eve...

 

John Mayer

No Such A Thing

This song is from the CD "Room For Squares".

"Welcome to the real world", she said to me
Condescendingly
Take a seat
Take your life
Plot it out in black and white
Well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings
And the drama queens
I'd like to think the best of me
Is still hiding
Up my sleeve

They love to tell you
Stay inside the lines
That something's better...

Jason Mraz

Butterfly

Jason Mraz has an amazing voice. This song is from latest CD "We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things", which sounds very different from his older stuff.

I’m taking a moment just imaginin’ that I’m dancin’ with you
I’m your pole and all you’re wearing is your u’ve got everything you need, especially me
Sister you’ve got i
Curl your upper lip up and let me look ar...

 

Dave Matthews Band

Ants Marching

This is a very interesting band with a very distinctive sound.

He wakes up in the morning
Does his teeth bite to eat and he's rolling
Never changes a thing
The week ends the week begins
She thinks, we look at each other
Wondering what the other is thinking
But we never say a thing
These crimes between us grow deeper

Take these chances
Place them in a ...

 

Garth Brooks

Ain't Going Down (Til The Sun Comes Up)

当我在听有动感的乡村蓝调音乐时，经常会想站起来跟着音乐一起舞动。

Six o'clock on Friday evening
Momma doesn' t know she's leaving
'Til she hears the screen door slamming
Rubber squealin', gears a-jamming
Local country station just a blaring on the radio
Pick him up at seven and they're headin' to the rodeo
Momma's on the fr...

 

John Mayer

Why Georgia

为什么这么多音乐？因为很多时候的心态是无法用语言来形容的。我希望和大家分享的音乐能给你们带来生活中的色彩与乐趣。

I am driving up 85 in the
kind of morning that lasts all afternoon
just stuck inside the gloom

Four more exits to my apartment but
I am tempted to keep the car in drive
and leave it all behind

Cause I wonder sometimes
about the outcome
of a still verd...

 

Dolly Parton

Jolene

Beautiful song by Dolly Parton about a women named "Jolene", who her husband is having an affair with. She wrote this song when she was 18 and now she is 64.

Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Im begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn ha...

 

Stacey Kent

What The World Needs Now

What the world needs now is love, isn't that so true? This song is quite simple but very catchy. Anyway, this song has touched my heart, and I hope that it will do the same for you.

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No not just for some but ...

 

Gordon Haskell

How Wonderful You Are

"I've always struggled with the art of conversation." Isn't that true? Sometimes words can not fully express our feelings. This is why we have music.

I go out most nights
Attracted by the lights
Listen to the jazz in Harry's Bar
And I know it won't be long
Before they play that song
Do you know how wonderful you are

It's a sentimental sound
Make...

 

Shania Twain

From This Moment On

This song is a KTV classic and a great wedding song. Again, this is a country song, you can tell by the vocal techniques used.

(I do swear that I'll aways be there.
I'd give anything and everything and I will always care.
Through weakness and strength, happiness and sorrow,
for better or worse, I will love you with
every beat of my heart.)
From this mome...

 

Keith Whitley

When You Say Nothing At All

Another country classic here for you all to enjoy. Note the instrument playing the intro of the song, it is called a dobro. It is a very distinct country music instrument, in other words, if you hear a dobro playing, you are listening to a country song.

It's amazing
How you can speak
Right to my heart
Without saying a word,
You can light up the ...

 

Elvis Presley

Always On My Mind

Another country classic. If you are trying to get your ex-girlfriend back, this is a great song to sing to her. Country music is a great way to pass on a message to someone special. As you can see, the lyrics are simple, and very much resembles letter or a story. Check this song's lyrics out, isn't it beautiful? Isn't it saying just about everything that y...

 

Lonestar

Amazed

Beautiful country song from Lonestar. I am sure many people already heard covers of this song by other artists, but here is the original.The country singer often sing a line by starting it with the lowest range of their voice called the "vocal fry". This is one distinctive techniques all country artists uses other then their southern accent.

Every time our eyes meet

Michael Jackson

Jam

One of my favorite Michael Jackson classics. The energy of this song just makes you want to dance. For those of you who have not seen Michael Jackson's movie "This Is It", go watch it! It is awesome!

Nation To Nation
All The World
Must Come Together
Face The Problems
That We See
Then Maybe Somehow We Can Work It Out
I Asked My Neighbor
For A Favor
She Said Later

Dj Antoine

Find Me In The Club

Wow! What an energy. A great track to groove to when you are roaring down a highway on a high-power bike driving ridiculously over the speed limit. Electronic musicians are great at building dynamics. No kidding, just check out this tune and hear it for yourself!

 

John Lennon

Imagine

John Lennon's messages from his songs inspires people to love each other. After all, the world is one big family. I hope after listen to this song, I hope you will go out and help a complete stranger. When you are helping others, you are the most beneficial person from the experience.

Even though I enjoyed the Beatles, I have always like him better as a solo artist...
