Early Jazz Song : Smooth Operator

He's laughing with another girl. And playing with another heart
Placing high stakes, making hearts ache
He's loved in seven languages.
Jewel box life diamond nights and ruby lights, high in thesky
Heaven help him, when he falls Diamond life, lover boy
He move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy
City lights and business nights
When you require streetcar desire for higher heights
No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
When sentiment is left to chance
No place to be ending but somewhere to start
No need to ask. He's a smooth operator Smooth operator,
Smooth operator Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale
Face to face, each classic case
We shadow box and double crossYet need the chase
A license to love, insurance to hold
Melts all your memories and change into gold
His eyes are like angels but his heart is cold.

I have loved this song every since I have been 7 years old because my mother listened this song before. She had Sade's album (Lovers live album), so she often played this album since I was young, even though I was not quite understood the meaning untill now. This is interesting song. Actually I hardly listen jazz song because I think the rhythm of jazz song is quite strange. But I like this song. For the singer, Sade has an amazing voice and style. I have always liked her. And I ever seen this music video. She is black person.

Gospel Song : You light up my life

So many nights, I'd sit by my window,
Waiting for someone to sing me his song.
So many dreams, I kept deep inside me,
Alone in the dark, but now you've come along.
And you light up my life,You give me hope, to carry on.
You light up my days. And fill my nights with song.
Rolling at sea, adrift on the waters. Could it be finally,
I'm turning for home. Finally a chance to say,
Hey, I Love You. Never again to be all alone.
And you light up my life,You give me hope, to carry on.
You light up my days. And fill my nights with song.
You, You light up my life. You give me hope to carry on
You light up my days. And fill my nights with song
I can't be wrong, when it feels so right
Cause you, you light up my life.

This is one of sweet song. I'm very deeply impreesed when I listened. The meaning of the song is about when someone hope for being alive. In the past she lived in the darkness but now she found someone who like a light of her life. It's made her life met the happiness. At the beginning of the song feel lonely a bit but at the end is very happy. This is good love song for me. I think it's romantic song. I believe that everybody feel good when listen this song.

Gospel Song : I will follow him

I will follow Him, Follow Him wherever He may go,
And near Him, I always will be For nothing can keep me away,
He is my destiny. I will follow Him,
Ever since He touched my heart I knew,
There isn't an ocean too deep, A mountain so high it can keep,
Keep me away, away from His love.I love Him, I love Him,
I love Him, And where He goes,
I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow.I will follow Him,
Follow Him wherever He may go,
There isn't an ocean too deep,
A mountain so high it can keep, Keep me away, away from
His love...I love Him(Oh yes I love Him)
I'll follow(I'm gonna follow)
True love(He'll always be my true, true love)
Forever(Now until forever)
I love Him, I love Him, I love Him,
And where He goes,I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow,
He'll always be my true love, My true love, my true love,
From now until forever, Forever, forever...
There isn't an ocean too deep,
A mountain so high it can keep,
Keep me away, away from his love..

I love this song very very much. First time I heard this song from Sister Act movie. I watched this movie many times. Actually I like Lauren Hill already. Her voice has more power. This song is symphonic style. Everybody can sang well compatible. It's very sweet-sounding. The beginning of the song is slow but in the middle is speed up and I like this part of song so much. I'm able to sing this song because of I heard from the movie many times. After listened this song I will do love him too.

Folk Song : Where did you sleep last night?

My girl, my girl, dont lie to meTell me,
where did you sleep last night?
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, where we will you go?
I'm going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
Her husband, was a hard working man
Just about a mile from here
His head was found in a driving wheel
But his body never was found
My girl, my girl, dont lie to meTell me,
Where did you sleep last night?
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I will shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, where will you go?
I'm going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, the pines
The sun, the shine
I'll shiver the whole night throug.

In my opinion, I think the rhythm of this song is rather country song. I like the voice of singer it's bass tone. The whole idea of this song is the man dying and then singing "where did you sleep last night?" The man who missed one girl so much. I feel so emotionally loaded, such as lonely and sadness when I listened. For the interesting vocabulaly is "in the pines" it's means you miss someone so much. when I heard this sentence I felt sad.

In the past of American is discriminated of black person. They always get unfair from social and they don't get any help from social. I think this story is very sad in the first I'm very symphathy her but happy ending. I'm so surprise and I like that because she always met with bad thing since she was young but at the end she's happy. The end of this movie is very impressive. She shouldn't met ruthless thing again. This is drama movie that I like.

Apache

Massai, who is the last Apache warrior is arrested and plan for transportation to a Florida reservation. And he begins a one man war against the whites. Massai escapes from the train that is shipping the Apaches back east and makes his way back to New Mexico. Instead, he manages to escape and leads for his homeland to win back his girl. His follower have other ideas though.

Apache is an one of Indian tribe. The character of indian tribe is fighter and brave.
I think this movie have some good action and an interesting story mixed with a cute and convincing love story. And after I wacthed this movie I knew the Native American side here. Some scene is exciting.

Hart's War

The movie is about William is prisoner in German camp. He's an American officer. And he odered his companion. He never give up and fight to win the war. He plans for fight with his enemy and want to keep his honor. A murder in this camp gives him to set the plan in movement. So, he synchronize a cleverness plan to escape and destroy a munitions point of enemy. He's coorporate with Tommy. Finally, William finished his mission.

This movie is rather confused for me I don't like drama movie but this movie is not too bad. I like Bruce Willis already and because of him made me watched this movie without dull feeling. I don't hate him in this character. For the American culture in my opinion is I think American people are brave and leader. I can see in the movie that William want to win in the war. This is a characteristic of American people.

The Twelve Days of Christmas Eve

The twelve days of X' mas eve movie is about one business man, Calvin Carter is successful in his business. He has everything but he was ignored. On Chrismas Eve, there have something falls down to him from his office buildings and then he awakes in the hospital. He's so surprised to see that he lives with Angie, who is a nurse and she tells him that he has 12 days to get a perfect Christmas Eve if he doesn't may be he get a horrible thing as a result. I like this movie because I like fantasy movie and I think this movie is very amusing for every person and this one was a pleasant. After I watched this movie I want to meet an angle to get blessing like Calvin.

The Great Escape

The Great Escape movie is about the largest allied escape try from a German camp during the Second World War. The escape efforts within the camp and the process of secret resident an escape tunnel. And deals with the heavy effort by the German to arrest the many escaped prisoners who are at this point attempting to make their way to England and various countries. I think this movie is seriously and for Capt. Hilts, he seemed to tie everything together between the American and British prisoners. i like all the actors because they are absolutely awesome. I like this kind of action movie. Many scenes of movie are interesting such as, when Capt. Hilt has the German army chasing after him while riding his motorcycle trying to jump.

The OX-Bow incident

This movie is about two person who walked into a Western town to find a murderer. When they came, they found that the farmer was murdered and his cow was stolen. So, they and other people in town try to catch the murdered. And they found 3 mens who is owner of the cow. In finally three mens were executed at that place. But then found that the truth three mens are innocent. I think at the end of this movie is not fair because three mens were judged by hang to death but it's not them false. Actually I don't like drama movie because it's hard and serious. But this movie is not boring but exciting.
