“Can’t Stop” by OneRepublic

I guess this is what it’s supposed to feel like
No we don’t talk, no we don’t talk, we don’t talk anymore.
I guess this is what it’s supposed to sound like
The universe, the universe, universe is torn.

I don’t want to live without you
I can live without you half the day, heeeay hey
I don’t want to live without you
And put life off for another day
hey-hey yeah hey-hey yeeeah

[Chorus:]
But I can’t stop
Thinking about.. thinking about us
Anymore oooh oh
I said I can’t stop
Thinking about.. thinking about us
Anymore ooh oh
I said I can’t stop.. no
Thinking about.. thinking about this
Anymore ooh oh
And all I’ve got.. uuuh
Is nothing I want
Anymore ooh oh

No I never get used to silence
But I don’t hear, no I don’t hear
I don’t hear you anymore.
I know I had to look hard to find it
Everything, everything,
Everything is gone.

I don’t want to live without you
And put life off for another day
hey-hey yeah hey-hey yeeeah

[Repeat Chorus]

I can see stars, I can see our lives in a self destructing lane,
I can see stars, I can see lights… shining here.

[Repeat Chorus]

uuuh uuuh uuuh uuuh.

“I Lived” by OneRepublic

Hoping you take that jump
But don’t fear the fall
Hope when the water rises
You built a wall
Hoping the crowd screams out
Screaming your name
Hope if everybody runs
You chose to stay
Hope that you fall in love
And it hurts so bad
The only way you can know
Is give it all you have
And I hope that you don’t suffer
But take the pain
Hope when the moment comes
You say

I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second
That this world could give
I saw so many places
And things that I did
Of every broken bone
I swear I lived

Hope that you spend your days
But they all add up
And when that sun goes down
Hope you raise your cup
I wish that I could witness
All we drawed
And your pain
But until my moment comes
I’ll say

I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second
That this world could give
I saw so many places
And things that I did
Of every broken bone
I swear I lived

Whoa, whoa, whoa
Oh, oh
Of every broken bone
I swear I lived
Of every broken bone
I swear I lived

I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second
That this world could give
I saw so many places
And things that I did
Of every broken bone
I swear I lived

Whoa, whoa, whoa, oh, oh

I just wished Americans (other citizens) realize that it isn’t “Big Government” that we need to worry about, it’s the “Big Corporations.” Laissez-faire was designed for business entities more so than individual persons and their rights as people.

The will to live will always outweigh the ability to die.

Brent reveals the meaning behind the song “45” during a live concert in Kansas City.

You have not even begun to scratch the surface of how important your life means to not only me, our friends, and our family, but your life, which is a gift for the world that is waiting for you.

Here are some interesting facts about him, though: He basically saved public television. In 1969 the government wanted to cut public television funds. Mister Rogers then went to Washington where he gave an amazing merely six minute speech. By the end of the speech not only did he charm the hostile Senators, he got them to double the budget they would have initially cut down. The whole thing can be found on youtube, a video called “Mister Rogers defending PBS to the US Senate.” “Certain fundamentalist preachers hated him because, apparently not getting the “kindest man who ever lived” memo, they would ask him to denounce homosexuals. Mr. Rogers’s response? He’d pat the target on the shoulder and say, “God loves you just as you are.” Rogers even belonged to a “More Light” congregation in Pittsburgh, a part of the Presbyterian Church dedicated to welcoming LGBT persons to full participation in the church.” According to a TV Guide piece on him, Fred Rogers drove a plain old Impala for years. One day, however, the car was stolen from the street near the TV station. When Rogers filed a police report, the story was picked up by every newspaper, radio and media outlet around town. Amazingly, within 48 hours the car was left in the exact spot where it was taken from, with an apology on the dashboard. It read, “If we’d known it was yours, we never would have taken it.” Once, on a fancy trip up to a PBS exec’s house, he heard the limo driver was going to wait outside for 2 hours, so he insisted the driver come in and join them (which flustered the host). On the way back, Rogers sat up front, and when he learned that they were passing the driver’s home on the way, he asked if they could stop in to meet his family. According to the driver, it was one of the best nights of his life—the house supposedly lit up when Rogers arrived, and he played jazz piano and bantered with them late into the night. Further, like with the reporters, Rogers sent him notes and kept in touch with the driver for the rest of his life.
