Sử dụng ETABS trong thiết kế kết cấu nhà cao tầng

2009-11-18T18:40:00.000-08:00

Trong những năm gần đây tốc độ phát triển cơ sở hạ tầng tại các thành phố lớn như Hà Nội, Đà Nẵng, thành phố Hồ Chí Minh,… tăng mạnh. Trong đó phải đặc biệt kể đến việc xây dựng mới các chung cư, cao ốc, văn phòng với số tầng khá lớn.

Điển hình ở Hà Nội, tại các khu đô thị mới nhưLinh Đàm, Mỹ Đình, Mễ Trì, Nam Trung Yên, Định Công, … việc xây dựng các chung cưtừ 11 tầng đến 18 tầng là phổ biến. Trong những năm tới đây để đáp ứng nhu cầu thực tế của đất nước sẽ còn nhiều các công trình cao tầng lớn hơn được xây dựng tại Hà Nội và các thành phố, tỉnh thành ở Việt Nam.

Cùng với sự phát triển và xây dựng mới nhà cao tầng, trong bài viết này đề cập đến công nghệ tính toán và thiết kế kết cấu nhà cao tầng ở nước ta.

Sử dụng ETABS trong tính toán kết cấu (Ảnh: Google)

Để tính toán kết cấu một công trình xây dựng dân dụng có nhiều phần mềm kết cấu trong và ngoài nước để các nhà thiết kế lựa chọn như: SAP 2000 (CSI-Mỹ), STAAD III/PRO (REI-Mỹ), PKPM (Trung Quốc), ACECOM (Thái Lan), KPW (CIC - Việt Nam), VINASAS (CIC - Việt Nam). Song việc tính toán và thiết kế nhà cao tầng sẽ phức tạp hơn rất nhiều bởi trong quá trình tính toán phải kể đến các thành phần tải trọng động như: gió động, động đất tác dụng lên công trình, cũng nhưviệc thiết kế kiểm tra các cấu kiện dầm, cột, vách cứng, sàn sau khi đã có kết quả nội lực. Do đó việc lựa chọn một phần mềm kết cấu đáp ứng được các điều kiện như: dễ sử dụng, độ tin cậy cao và đáp ứng được các yêu cầu thực tế trong tính toán và thiết kế kết cấu nhà cao tầng là một lựa chọn cần cân nhắc đối với các kĩ sư kết cấu.

Ra đời từ đầu những năm 70, ETABS (Extended 3D Analysis of Building Systems) là phần mềm kết cấu chuyên dụng trong tính toán và thiết kế nhà cao tầng. ETABS có xuất xứ từ trường Đại học Berkeley (Mỹ) và cùng họ với SAP 2000. Điểm nổi bật của ETABS ở đây mà các phần mềm kết cấu khác (SAP 2000, STAAD III/PRO) không có như:

- ETABS là phần mềm kết cấu chuyên dụng trong tính toán và thiết kế nhà cao tầng.

- Giao diện được tích hợp hoàn toàn với môi trường Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP.

- Tất cả các thao tác được thực hiện trên màn hình đồ hoạ thân thiện. - Tính năng vượt trội trong vào số liệu, chỉnh sửa và sao chép dễ dàng, thuận tiện theo khái niệm tầng tương tự.

- Tối ưu mô hình hoá nhà nhiều tầng. Có thể mô hình các dạng kết cấu nhà cao tầng: Hệ kết cấu dầm, sàn, cột, vách toàn khối; Hệ kết cấu dầm, cột, sàn lắp ghép, lõi toàn khối…

- Các thư viện kết cấu sẵn có hoặc xây dựng sơ đồ kết cấu: dầm, sàn, cột, vách trên mặt bằng hoặc mặt đứng công trình bằng các công cụ mô hình đặc biệt.

- Kích thước chính xác với hệ lưới và các lựa chọn bắt điểm giống AutoCAD. Đặc biệt là hệ trục định vị mặt bằng kết cấu.

- Xuất và nhập sơ đồ hình học từ môi trờng AutoCAD (file *.DXF)

- Tự động tính toán tải trọng cho các kiểu tải sau: tải trọng bản thân, gió tĩnh, động đất theo tiêu chuẩn UBC, BS8110, BOCA96, hàm tải trọng phổ (Response Spectrum Function), hàm tải trọng đáp ứng theo thời gian (Time History Function)…

- Tự động xác định khối lượng và trọng lượng các tầng.

- Tự động xác định tâm hình học, tâm cứng và tâm khối lượng công trình.

- Tự động xác định chu kì và tần số dao động riêng theo hai phương pháp Eigen Vectors và Ritz Vectors theo mô hình kết cấu không gian thực tế của công trình.

- Đặc biệt có thể can thiệp và áp dụng các tiêu chuẩn tải trọng khác như: tải trọng gió động theo TCVN 2737-95, tải trọng động đất theo dự thảo tiêu chuẩn tính động đất Việt Nam hoặc tải trọng động đất theo tiêu chuẩn Nga (SNIPII-87 hoặc SNIPII-95).

- Phân tích và tính toán kết cấu theo phương pháp phần tử hữu hạn với lựa chọn phân tích tuyến tính hoặc phi tuyến.

- Thời gian thực hiện phân tích, tính toán công trình giảm một cách đáng kể so với các chương trình tính kết cấu khác.

- Đặc biệt việc kết xuất kết quả tính toán một cách rõ ràng, khoa học giúp cho việc thiết kế, kiểm tra cấu kiện một cách nhanh chóng, chính xác.

- Thiết kế và kiểm tra cấu kiện dầm, sàn, cột, vách theo các tiêu chuẩn: ACI318-99, UBC97, BS8110-89, EUROCODE 2-1992, INDIAN IS 456-2000, CSA-A23.3-94 … Trong đó: cấu kiện dầm tính ra đến diện tích thép Fa, cấu kiện cột tính ra đến diện tích thép Fa (có thể thực hiện bài toán thiết kế hoặc kiểm tra cấu kiện cột), cấu kiện vách tính ra đến diện tích thép Fa theo tiêu chuẩn ACI318-99, UBC97, BS8110 (có thể thực hiện bài toán thiết kế hoặc kiểm tra cấu kiện vách).

- Thiết lập một cách nhanh chóng, chính xác, ngắn gọn thuyết minh tính toán công trình.

- Kết xuất dữ liệu ra các môi trường khác như: SAP 2000, SAFE, AUTOCAD, ACCESS, WORD, NOTEPAD.

- Đặc biệt là việc kết xuất các mức sàn tầng của công trình sang chương trình phụ trợ SAFE để tính toán sàn bê-tông cốt thép. Kết quả cuối cùng đạt được là biểu đồ nội lực, diện tích thép Fa, bố trí triển khai thép sàn.

Ghi chú: SAFE là phần mềm kết cấu chuyên dụng tính toán cho các loại bản sàn bê-tông cốt thép theo phương pháp phần tử hữu hạn như sàn giao thoa, sàn không dầm, sàn nấm, … ngoài ra SAFE còn có thể tính nội lực và tính thép cho đài móng đơn hoặc móng tổ hợp, móng bè. SAFE nằm trong bộ phần mềm SAP, ETABS, SAFE của trường Đại học Berkeley (Mỹ).

- Ngoài ra, ETABS có thể tính toán và thiết kế cho cấu kiện dầm tổ hợp (Composite Beam), thực hiện thiết kế chi tiết liên kết tại các nút đối với kết cấu thép (Joint Steel Design) theo các tiêu chuẩn thông dụng trên thế giới.

Mặc dù mới xuất hiện ở Việt Nam, xong có thể khẳng định ETABS là phần mềm kết cấu nổi trội và tiện dụng hơn hẳn so với các phần mềm kết cấu khác như: SAP 2000, STAAD III/PRO, PKPM trong việc tính toán và thiết kế nhà cao tầng.

Mục tiêu của việc phát triển và xây dựng nhà cao tầng ngoài việc đảm bảo các yêu cầu về kiến trúc, môi trường, cảnh quan, … thì vấn đề tính toán thiết kế kết cấu công trình vẫn được đặt lên hàng đầu. Do đó việc lựa chọn một phần mềm phù hợp, rút ngắn thời gian, tiết kiệm tiền bạc và có độ tin cậy cao hoàn toàn do các kĩ sư kết cấu và các đơn vị tư vấn quyết định.

55. Sympathy For The Devil (Jagger/Richards)

2009-04-14T07:24:00.000-07:00

- Rolling Stones, 1968.
- Driven by Rocky Dijon's congas, Nicky Hopkins's piano and Keef's bassline, this was a cleverly constructed, tightly-coiled piece of late-1960s pop.

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long years
Stole many a man's soul and faith

And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
(woo woo, woo woo)

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
(woo woo, woo woo)

I shouted out,
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and me
(who who, who who)

Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
(woo woo, who who)

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
(who who)
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
(who who, who who)

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
(woo woo, who who)

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
(who who, who who)

So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
(woo woo)
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah
(woo woo, woo woo)

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
(who who)
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down
(woo woo, woo woo)

54. River Deep Mountain High (Barry/Greenwich/Spector)

2009-04-14T07:22:00.000-07:00

- Artist: Ike and Tina Turner
- Albums: Simply The Best (91), The Collected Recordings (94)
- A mega-production from Phil Spector's School Of More. A mini-opera, it swings from finger-clickin' cool to oceans of swelling strings and vocals. All these years later it still sounds incredible.

When I was a little girl
I had a rag doll
Only doll I've ever owned
Now I love you just the way I loved that rag doll
But only now my love has grown

And it gets stronger, in every way
And it gets deeper, let me say
And it gets higher, day by day

And do I love you my oh my
Yeh river deep mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

When you were a young boy
Did you have a puppy
That always followed you around
Well I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No I'll never let you down

Cause it grows stronger, like a river flows
And it gets bigger baby, and heaven knows
And it gets sweeter baby, as it grows

And do I love you my oh my
Yeh river deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

I love you baby like a flower loves the spring
And I love you baby just like Tina loves to sing
And I love you baby like a school boy loves his pet
And I love you baby, river deep mountain high
Oh yeah you've gotta believe me
River Deep, Mountain High
Do I love you my oh my, oh baby
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

53. Hurricane (Dylan)

2009-04-14T07:21:00.001-07:00

- Artist: Bob Dylan, 1976.
- A devastatingly potent protest song about the imprisonment of boxer Rubin Carter. When Dylan sings "He coulda been the champion of the world", it's truly spine-tingling. Justice, American-style.

Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall.
She sees the bartender in a pool of blood,
Cries out, "My God, they killed them all!"
Here comes the story of the Hurricane,
The man the authorities came to blame
For somethin' that he never done.
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world.

Three bodies lyin' there does Patty see
And another man named Bello, movin' around mysteriously.
"I didn't do it," he says, and he throws up his hands
"I was only robbin' the register, I hope you understand.
I saw them leavin'," he says, and he stops
"One of us had better call up the cops."
And so Patty calls the cops
And they arrive on the scene with their red lights flashin'
In the hot New Jersey night.

Meanwhile, far away in another part of town
Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are drivin' around.
Number one contender for the middleweight crown
Had no idea what kinda shit was about to go down
When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road
Just like the time before and the time before that.
In Paterson that's just the way things go.
If you're black you might as well not show up on the street
'Less you wanna draw the heat.

Alfred Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops.
Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley were just out prowlin' around
He said, "I saw two men runnin' out, they looked like middleweights
They jumped into a white car with out-of-state plates."
And Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her head.
Cop said, "Wait a minute, boys, this one's not dead"
So they took him to the infirmary
And though this man could hardly see
They told him that he could identify the guilty men.

Four in the mornin' and they haul Rubin in,
Take him to the hospital and they bring him upstairs.
The wounded man looks up through his one dyin' eye
Says, "Wha'd you bring him in here for? He ain't the guy!"
Yes, here's the story of the Hurricane,
The man the authorities came to blame
For somethin' that he never done.
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world.

Four months later, the ghettos are in flame,
Rubin's in South America, fightin' for his name
While Arthur Dexter Bradley's still in the robbery game
And the cops are puttin' the screws to him, lookin' for somebody to blame.
"Remember that murder that happened in a bar?"
"Remember you said you saw the getaway car?"
"You think you'd like to play ball with the law?"
"Think it might-a been that fighter that you saw runnin' that night?"
"Don't forget that you are white."

Arthur Dexter Bradley said, "I'm really not sure."
Cops said, "A poor boy like you could use a break
We got you for the motel job and we're talkin' to your friend Bello
Now you don't wanta have to go back to jail, be a nice fellow.
You'll be doin' society a favor.
That sonofabitch is brave and gettin' braver.
We want to put his ass in stir
We want to pin this triple murder on him
He ain't no Gentleman Jim."

Rubin could take a man out with just one punch
But he never did like to talk about it all that much.
It's my work, he'd say, and I do it for pay
And when it's over I'd just as soon go on my way
Up to some paradise
Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice
And ride a horse along a trail.
But then they took him to the jailhouse
Where they try to turn a man into a mouse.

All of Rubin's cards were marked in advance
The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chance.
The judge made Rubin's witnesses drunkards from the slums
To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum
And to the black folks he was just a crazy nigger.
No one doubted that he pulled the trigger.
And though they could not produce the gun,
The D.A. said he was the one who did the deed
And the all-white jury agreed.

Rubin Carter was falsely tried.
The crime was murder "one," guess who testified?
Bello and Bradley and they both baldly lied
And the newspapers, they all went along for the ride.
How can the life of such a man
Be in the palm of some fool's hand?
To see him obviously framed
Couldn't help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land
Where justice is a game.

Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties
Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell
An innocent man in a living hell.
Yes, that's the story of the Hurricane,
But it won't be over till they clear his name
And give him back the time he's done.
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world.

52. People Get Ready (Mayfield)

2009-04-14T07:20:00.001-07:00

- Written by Curtis Mayfield

People get ready
There's a train a comin'
You don't need no baggage you just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesel comin'
Don't need no ticket you just thank the Lord

People get ready
Train to Jordan
Picking up passengers from coast to coast
Faith is key
Open the doors and board them
There's hope for all among the love the most

There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind just to save his own soul
Have pity on those whose choices grow thinner
There ain't no hiding place from the Kingdom's throne

People get ready
There's a train a comin'
You don't need no baggage you just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesel comin'
Don't need no ticket you just thank the Lord

There's a train there's a train there's a train comin' people
There's a train there's a train there's a train comin' people
There's a train there's a train there's a train comin' people
Just get on board

There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind just to save his own soul
Have pity on those whose choices grow thinner
There ain't no hiding place from the Kingdom's throne

51. Matty (Mulhearn)

2009-04-14T07:19:00.000-07:00

- Written by Johnny Mulhearn
- Artist: Christy Moore
- A poetic Irish drunk heads out into the night and never makes it home. Johnny Mulhearn's tune about Matty is so exquisitely written and touching you'll need Kleenex at hand.

(A)

matty went out on a frozen night
makin for the pub shoulders hunched up tight
head down on the railroad track
and his old cow delia sad lowin him back

(A)

he met with a dark and a troubled man
as he passed him by called back at him
hey matty cant you see whats become of me
in this country of the blind

(B)

the house i've left is dead to me
to my rhymin and my poetry
all i've got is the beat of the stagger
as i'm headin down the curra line

(A)

matty passed on as quick as he could
he could'nt stand such a crooked man sober
all he wanted was the lights of the bar
the nightingale and the wild rover

(A)

the fear an ti eyed him steadily
as he handed him a pint of porter
sayin you must have seen the bishops ghost tonight
to put the dry look back in your eye

(A)

matty would not be takin in
by their jibin and regalin
he found himself a fresh blown crew
and fell in with their sportin and their balin

(B)

as he was goin home in the very same spot
he met with his dark familiar
he seen him comin back down the road
he was bright and sharp and fine

(A)

as he passed him by matty threw out his arms
and tried to grab hold of his likeness
in the morning all we found was his frozen corpse
at the butt of the curra line

(B)

at the wake they were lashin out
the drops of brandy,the auld fashioned habit
in the church they were lashin out pounds and fivers
so matty would be fine in the old bye and bye

50. Superstition (Wonder)

2009-04-14T07:18:00.000-07:00

- Stevie Wonder, 1973.

Very superstitious, writings on the wall,
Very superstitious, ladders bout' to fall,
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past

When you believe in things that you don't understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition ain't the way

Very superstitious, wash your face and hands,
Rid me of the problem, do all that you can,
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong,
You don't wanna save me, sad is my song

When you believe in things that you don't understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition ain't the way, yeh, yeh

Very superstitious, nothin' more to say,
Very superstitious, the devil's on his way,
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass,
Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past

When you believe in things that you don't understand,
Then you suffer, Superstition ain't the way, no, no, no

48. The Boy In The Bubble (Simon/Motloheloa)

2009-04-14T07:16:00.000-07:00

- Artist: Paul Simon, 1986.

It was a slow day,
And the sun was beating
On the soldiers by the side of the road,
There was a bright light,
A shattering of shop windows
The bomb in the baby carriage
Was wired to the radio,
These are the days of miracle and wonder,
This is the long distance call,
The way the camera follows us in slo-mo
The way we look to us all,
The way we look to a distant constellation
That's dying in a corner of the sky,
These are the days of miracle and wonder
And don't cry baby don't cry
Don't cry,

(Pause)

It was a dry wind,
And it swept across the desert
And it curled into the circle of birth,
And the dead sand,
Falling on the children
The mothers and the fathers
And the automatic earth,
These are the days of miracle and wonder,
This is the long distance call,
The way the camera follows us in slo-mo
The way we look to us all o-yeah,
The way we look to a distant constellation
That's dying in a corner of the sky,
These are the days of miracle and wonder
And don't cry baby don't cry
Don't cry

(Pause)

It's a turn-around jump shot
It's everybody jump start
It's, every generation throws a hero up the pop charts,
Medicine is magical and magical is art think of
The, Boy in the Bubble
And the baby with the baboon heart

And I believe
These are the days of lasers in the jungle,
Lasers in the jungle somewhere,
Staccato signals of constant information,
A loose affiliation of millionaires
And billionaires and baby,
These are the days of miracle and wonder,
This is the long distance call,
The way the camera follows us in slo-mo
The way we look to us all o-yeah,
The way we look to a distant constellation
That's dying in a corner of the sky,
These are the days of miracle and wonder
And don't cry baby don't cry
Don't cry don't cry

oooooooooEmmmmmmmmmmm........

47. Positively 4th Street (Dylan)

2009-04-14T07:15:00.000-07:00

- Artist: Bob Dylan
- Written by Bob Dylan

You got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinning

You got a lotta nerve
To say you got a helping hand to lend
You just want to be on
The side that's winning

You say I let you down
You know it's not like that
If you're so hurt
Why then don't you show it

You say you lost your faith
But that's not where it's at
You had no faith to lose
And you know it

I know the reason
That you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd
You're in with

Do you take me for such a fool
To think I'd make contact
With the one who tries to hide
What he don't know to begin with

You see me on the street
You always act surprised
You say, "How are you?" "Good luck"
But you don't mean it

When you know as well as me
You'd rather see me paralyzed
Why don't you just come out once
And scream it

No, I do not feel that good
When I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief
Perhaps I'd rob them

And now I know you're dissatisfied
With your position and your place
Don't you understand
It's not my problem

I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment
I could be you

Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is
To see you

46. Papa Was A Rolling Stone (Strong/Whitfield)

2009-04-14T07:13:00.000-07:00

- Artist(Band): The Temptations

It was the third of September.
That day I'll always remember, yes I will.
'Cause that was the day that my daddy died.
I never got a chance to see him.
Never heard nothing but bad things about him.
Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth.

And Mama just hung her head and said,
"Son, Papa was a rolling stone.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
"Papa was a rolling stone, my son.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."

Well, well.

Hey Mama, is it true what they say,
that Papa never worked a day in his life?
And Mama, some bad talk going around town
saying that Papa had three outside children and another wife.
And that ain't right.
Hey, talk about Papa doing some store front preaching.
Talked about saving souls and all the time leeching.
Dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the Lord.

Mama just hung her head and said,
"Papa was a rolling stone, my son.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
"Hey, Papa was a rolling stone.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."

Uh!

Hey Mama, I heard Papa called himself a jack of all trades.
Tell me is that what sent Papa to an early grave?
Folks say Papa would beg, borrow, steal to pay his bills.
Hey Mama, folks say that Papa was never much on thinking.
Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking.
Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth.

And Mama looked up with a tear in her eye and said,
"Son, Papa was a rolling stone. (Well, well, well, well)
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."
"Papa was a rolling stone.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."

"I said, Papa was a rolling stone. Wherever he laid his hat was his home.
(And when he died) All he left us was ALONE."

44. Make Me Smile (Come Up And See Me) (Harley)

2009-04-14T07:09:00.002-07:00

- Artists: Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel, 1975.

You've done it all, you've broken every code
And pulled the Rebel to the floor
You spoilt the game, no matter what you say
For only metal-what a bore!
Blue eyes, blue eyes, how come you tell so many lies?

Come up and see me, make me smile
or do what you want, runnin' wild.

There's nothing left, all gone and run away
Maybe you'll tarry for a while
It's just a test, a game for us to play
Win or lose, it's hard to smile
Resist, resist, it's from yourself you have to hide.

Come up and see me, make me smile
or do what you want, runnin' wild.

INSTRUMNTAL

There ain’t any more, you've taken everything
From my belief in Mother Earth
How can you ignore my faith in everything
Cause’ I know what faith is and what it's worth
Away, away, and don't say maybe you'll try.

Come up and see me, make me smile
or do what you want, runnin' wild.

Ohhhhhhhhh la la la
Ohhhhhhhhh la la la ohhhhhh

Come up and see me, make me smile
or do what you want, runnin' wild.

Ohhhhhhhhh la la la
Ohhhhhhhhh la la la ohhhhhh

Come up and see me, make me smile

43. Feelin' Alright (Mason)

2009-04-14T07:09:00.001-07:00

- A mixture of Joe Cocker and Steve Winwood.

Seems I got to have a change of scene
Cause every night I have the strangest dreams
Imprisoned by the way it used to be
Left here on my own or so it seems
I got to leave before I start to scream
But someone's locked the door and took the key

Feelin' alright
Not feelin' too good myself
Feelin' alright
Not feelin' too good myself

Boy you sure took me for one big ride
Even now I sit and wonder why
And when I think of you I start to cry
Got to stop belivin' in all your lies
Cause I got to much to do before I die

Before someone comes along and takes my place
With a different name and yes a different face

42. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (John/Taupin)

2009-04-14T07:08:00.001-07:00

- Artist: Elton John

When are you gonna come down
When are you going to land
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man

You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
This boy's too young to be singing the blues

So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road

What do you think you'll do then
I bet that'll shoot down your plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again

Maybe you'll get a replacement
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground

41. Everlovin' Man (Lynch/Lovett/Anderson/Humphreys/Clyne)

40. Elvis Presley - My Way

2009-04-12T01:13:00.001-07:00

And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I’ll say it clear,
I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain.

I’ve lived a life that’s full.
I’ve traveled each and ev’ry highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, I’ve had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
And (not "but") more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, I’m sure you knew (not "know")
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.

I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried.
I’ve had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
No, oh no not me,
I did it my way.

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.(not "NOT")
To say the words he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!

39. Elvis Presley - Heartbreak Hotel

2009-04-12T01:12:00.000-07:00

(Words & music by Mae B. Axton - Tommy Durden - Elvis Presley)

Well, since my baby left me,
I found a new place to dwell.
It's down at the end of lonely street
at Heartbreak Hotel.

Ive been so lonely baby,
Well im so lonely,
well im so lonely I could die.

Oh although it's always crowded,
you still can find some room.
For broken hearted lovers
to cry away their gloom.

They've been so lonely baby
well they're so lonely,
well they're so lonely they could die.

Well, the Bell hop's tears keep flowin',
and the desk clerk's dressed in black.
Well they been so long on lonely street
They never ever look back.

and its so lonely baby,
and its so lonely,
well they're so lonely they could die.

well, if your baby leaves you,
and you got a tale to tell.
Just take a walk down lonely street
to Heartbreak Hotel.

youll be so lonely baby
your gonna be lonely
youll be so lonely you could die. Oh although it's always crowded, you still can find some room. For broken hearted lovers to cry away their gloom. They've been so lonely baby, well they're so lonely, they're so lonely they could die.

Can you feel it coming down?
Comes down harder, harder

Can you feel the fire in my eyes?
What my lips desire can't be denied

But a circuit snaps when the temperature rises
I'm all consumed by passion

I need rain rain rain
I'm burning up in here
This drought's 'bout to disappear
Rain rain rain
I'm burning up in here
Ready on not, open up

You got my temperature rising
Like El Nin - YO! (x4)

Don't leave me till I'm satisfied
I won't say no to something I haven't tried
I won't object to my hands and feet being tied
This girl don't khow 'bout being shy

You could say
I'm old fashioned
But a circuit snaps when the temperature rises
I'm all consumed by passion

I need rain rain rain
I'm burning up in here
This drought's 'bout to disappear
Rain rain rain
I'm burning up in here
Ready on not, open up
And let it rain

You got my temperature rising
Like El Nin - YO! (x4)

Can you feel it coming down?
Comes down harder, harder(What)
Comes down faster, faster(What)
You're burning HOT!

I need rain rain rain

Rain rain rain
I'm burning up in here
Ready on not, open up
C'mon and let it rain

This drought's 'bout to disappear
Rain rain rain

Ready on not, open up

Comes down harder, harder

37. Elvis Presley - I Want You, I Need You, I Love You

2009-04-12T01:10:00.000-07:00

Hold me close, hold me tight
Make me thrill with delight
Let me know where I stand from the start
I want you, I need you, I love you
With all my heart

Ev'ry time that you're near
All my cares disappear
Darling, you're all that I'm living for
I want you, I need you, I love you
More and more

I thought I could live without romance
Until you came to me
But now I know that
I will go on loving you eternally

Won't you please be my own?
Never leave me alone
'Cause I die ev'ry time we're apart
I want you, I need you, I love you
With all my heart

36. Elvis Presley - All Shook Up

2009-04-12T01:09:00.000-07:00

A well I bless my soul
What's wrong with me?
I'm itching like a man on a fuzzy tree
My friends say I'm actin' wild as a bug
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah!

My hands are shaky and my knees are weak
I can't seem to stand on my own two feet
Who do you thank when you have such luck?
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah!

Please don't ask me what's on my mind
I'm a little mixed up, but I'm feelin' fine
When I'm near that girl that I love best
My heart beats so it scares me to death!

She touched my hand what a chill I got
Her lips are like a vulcano that's hot
I'm proud to say she's my buttercup
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah!

My tongue get tied when I try to speak
My insides shake like a leaf on a tree
There's only one cure for this body of mine
That's to have the girl that I love so fine!

35. Elvis Presley - It's Now or Never

2009-04-12T01:08:00.000-07:00

It's now or never,
come hold me tight
Kiss me my darling,
be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late,
it's now or never
My love won't wait.

When I first saw you
with your smile so tender
My heart was captured,
my soul surrendered
I'd spend a lifetime
waiting for the right time
Now that your near
the time is here at last.

It's now or never,
come hold me tight
Kiss me my darling,
be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late,
it's now or never
My love won't wait.

Just like a willow,
we would cry an ocean
If we lost true love
and sweet devotion
Your lips excite me,
let your arms invite me
For who knows when
we'll meet again this way

It's now or never,
come hold me tight
Kiss me my darling,
be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late,
it's now or never
My love won't wait.

34. Elvis Presley - Jailhouse rock (1957)

2009-04-12T01:07:00.000-07:00

The warden threw a party in the county jail.
The prison band was there and they began to wail.
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing.
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing.
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone,
Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone.
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang,
the whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang.
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

Number forty-seven said to number three:
"You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see.
I sure would be delighted with your company,
come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

The sad sack was a sittin' on a block of stone
way over in the corner weepin' all alone.
The warden said, "Hey, buddy, don't you be no square.
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake,
no one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break."
Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix nix,
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

33. Elvis Presley - Way Down

2009-04-12T01:06:00.000-07:00

Babe, you're getting closer
The lights are goin' dim
The sound of your breathin'
Has made the mood I'm in
All of my resistance
Is lying on the floor
Taking me to places
I've never been before

Ooh, and I can feel it,
Feel it, feel it, feel it

Way down where the music plays
Way down like a tidal wave
Way down where the fires blaze
Way down, down, way, way on down

Ooh, my head is spinnin'
You got me in your spell,
A hundred magic fingers
On a whirling carousel
The medicine within me
No doctor could prescribe
Your love is doing something
That I just can't describe

Ooh, and I can feel it,
Feel it, feel it, feel it

Way down where the music plays
Way down like a tidal wave
Way down where the fires blaze
Way down, down, way, way on down

Hold me again,
Tight as you can
I need you so,
Baby, let's go

Way down where it feels so good
Way down where I hoped it would
Way down where I never could
Way down, down, way, way on down

32. Elvis Presley - Always On My Mind

2009-04-12T01:04:00.000-07:00

Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind
(You were always on my mind)
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
If I make you feel second best
Girl, I'm so sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind
(You were always on my mind)
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
(You are always on my mind)
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
Maybe I didn`t treat you…
Quite as good as I should have…

31. Tata Young - Zoom

2009-04-12T01:02:00.000-07:00

Zoom Zoom in under my skin
Gotta slow down now to begin
Baby don't rush
You can look but don't touch

You think you know
When u see me in my videos
How the story goes
But that's just the side that I expose

Look through the lens
You see my body, not who I am...
So don't pretend
And try to act like you're my boyfriend

[Pre-Chorus]
You wanna get somewhere
Then boy don't touch me there
Just get up close and personal, personal

[Chorus]
Zoom Zoom in under my skin
Gotta slow down now to begin
Baby don't rush
You can look but don't touch
Zoom zoom in... to my head
Gotta want me and not my bed
Boy, prove your love
You can look but don't touch

You won't behave
Your hands are all over the place
Barely know your name
You're tryin' to score but it's not a game

Boy get a clue
Yeah, u gotta spend the time, pay your dues
Following the rules
If you want me to want to be with you

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus x2]

Don't you dare
Touch me there
If you want to get somewhere

Zoom in set to know me, boy, don't rush
Zoom in if you want me, boy, don't touch

[Chorus x2]

30. Tata Young - Cinderella

2009-04-12T01:00:00.000-07:00

When I was just a little girl
My momma used to tuck me into bed and she read me a story
It always was about a Princess in distress
And how a guy would save her and end up with the glory

I'd lie in bed and think about the person that I wanted to be
Then one day I realized the fairy tale life wasn't for me

[Chorus]
I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sittin' old old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody, to come and set me free
I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white, unless we're riding side by side
Don't want to depend on no-one else
I'd rather rescue myself

Someday I'm gonna find someone who wants my soul, heart and mind
Who's not afraid to show that he loves me
Somebody who will understand I'm happy just the way I am Don't need nobody taking care of me

(I will be )
I will be there for him
just as strong as he will be there for me
when I get myself started
it got to be an equal thing
[Chorus]
I can slay, my own dragon
I can dream, my own dreams
My knight in shining armour is me
So I'm gonna set me free

Lke cinderella
on dusty cellar

waiting for somebody to come and set me free
I don't want to be like snow white waiting
for a handsome prince to come and [save me (x6)]

[chous]

29. Tata Young - I Believe

2009-04-12T00:58:00.000-07:00

I feel the heat around me
I feel the beat surrounds me
Could this be for real, I wonder
No need for hesitation
It’s time for celebration
Will this be the night I’ve waited for

When angels fall in love
Heaven knows, does it show, oh
If this love, will last for eternity
Set me on fire

* I believe, I believe in love
And like the stars above
They shine, let it shine over me
Set me free I believe in you
And that our love is true
Oh I believe, I believe

I see that people dancing
Boys and girls romancing
They want this to last forever

Cause underneath the moonlight
Everything is alright
We’re reaching our hands up in the air

To where the souls alive
Heaven knows, that it shows oh
If this love, will last for eternity
Set me on fire

(*)

How could I doubt, what was meant to be
Everything I needed was in front of me
Your healing touch, will lift me up in the sky, so high

(*)

28. Aly & AJ - Potential Break-up Song

2009-04-12T00:57:00.000-07:00

La da da da da da
La da da da da da
La da da da da da

It took too long
It took too long
It took too long for you to call back
And normally I would just forget that
Except for the fact it was my Birthday
My stupid Birthday

I played along
I played along
I played along
Rolled right off my back
But obviously my armor was cracked
What kind of a boyfriend would forget that?
Who would forget that?
The type of guy who doesn't see,
What he has until she leaves
Don't let me go!
Cause without me you know you're lost,
Wise up now or pay the cost
Soon you will know!

You're not living
'Til you're living, living with me
You're not winning
'Til you're winning, winning me
You're not getting
'Til you're getting, getting me
You're not living
'Til you're living, living for me

This is the Potential Breakup Song
Our Album needs just one
Oh baby please
Please tell me

We got along
We got along
We got along until you did that
Now all I want is just my stuff back
Do you get that?
Let me repeat that
[Potential Break-up Song lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

I want my stuff back
You can send it in a box
I don't care
Just drop it off
I won't be home!
Cause without me you know you're lost
Minus you I'm better off
Soon you will know!

You're not living
'Til you're living, living with me
You're not winning
'Til you're winning, winning me
You're not getting
'Til you're getting, getting me
You're not living
'til you're living, living for me

You can try
You can try
You know that I'd know it'd be a lie
Without me you're gonna die
So you better think clearly, clearly
Before you nearly, nearly bust up the situation
That you're gonna miss dearly,dearly
Come on!

You're not living
'Til you're living, living with me
You're not winning
'Til you're winning, winning me
You're not getting
'Til you're getting, getting me
You're not living 'til you're living, living for me

This is the potential breakup song
Our album needs just one
Oh baby please
Please, tell me

This is the potential make-up song
Please just admit you're wrong
Which will it be
Which will it be

27. Avril Lavigne - When You're Gone

2009-04-12T00:55:00.000-07:00

I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie is made up on your side

When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now

[Chorus]
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok
I miss you

I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do reminds me of you
And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor
And they smell just like you, I love the things that you do

When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now

[Chorus]

We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were, yeah
All I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I'd do, I'd give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me, yeah

[Chorus]

26. Backstreet Boys - Inconsolable (live, October 23, 2007)

2009-04-12T00:54:00.000-07:00

I close the door
Like so many times, so many times before
Filmed like a scene on the cutting room floor
When I let you walk away tonight
Without a word

I try to sleep, yeah
But the clock is stuck on thoughts of you and me
A thousand more regrets unraveling, ohh
If you were here right now, I swear,
I'd tell you this

CHORUS
Baby I don't want to waste another day
Keeping it inside it's killing me
'Cause all I ever want, it comes right down to you (to you)
I'm wishing I could find the words to say
Baby I would tell you every time you leave
I'm inconsolable

I climb the walls
I can see the edge but I can't take the fall, no.
I never write the number
So I cannot make the call
Maybe 'cause I know you'll always be with me
In the possibilities

CHORUS
Baby I don't wanna waste another day (another day)
Keeping it inside it's killing me
'Cause all I ever want it comes right down to you (to you)
I wish that I could find the words to say
Baby I would tell you every time you leave

I'm inconsolable

Oh oh no no no
I don't wanna be like this
I just wanna let you know
'Cause everything that I hold in
Is everything I can't let go
Oh oh oh oh can't let go
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

CHORUS
'Cause baby I don't wanna waste another day
Keeping it inside it's killing me (killing me 'cause)
'Cause all I ever want (all I ever wanted)
Comes right down to you (to you), to you (to you)
I wish that I could find the words to say
Baby I would tell you every time you leave
I'm inconsolable
Oh oh oh oh

Don't you know it baby
I don't wanna waste another day
I wish that I could find the words to say
Baby I would tell you every time you leave
I'm inconsolable
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah oh oh
I'm inconsolable
Whoa oh oh oh yeah yeah oh oh
I'm inconsolable
Oh oh yeah yeah

25. Godsmack - Speak

2009-04-12T00:52:00.000-07:00

And Hide or runaway
from all your yesterday's

Chorus:

Speak the truth, or make your peace some other way
Oh Yeah, Yeah
I never knew, but I believe that your trust in me

Yeah

Speak the truth or make your peace some other way

Will speak to me

In finding balance between lies and trust
they'll never be a better
source than to speak your truth
or make your peace in some other way

Chorus:

Speak the truth or make your peace some other way
Oh Yeah, Yeah
I never knew, but I believe that your trust in me
Oh Will speak to me
Speak the truth or make your peace some other way

I never knew, but I believe that your trust in me
Oh Will speak to me

24. Godsmack - I Stand Alone

2009-04-12T00:51:00.000-07:00

Now I've told you this once before can't control me
If you try to take me down you're gonna pay
I feel your every nothing that your doing for me
I'm thinking you oughta make you own way

I stand alone inside
I stand alone(I stand alone)

You're always hiding behind your so-called goddess
So what, you don't think that we can see your face?
Ressurrected back before the final falling
I'll never rest until I can make my own way

I'm not afraid of fading
I stand alone
Feeling your sting down inside me
I'm not dying for it
I stand alone
Everything that I believe is fading
I stand alone inside
I stand alone(I stand alone)

Now it's my time (now it's my time)
It's my time to dream (It's my time to dream)
Dream of the skies (dream of the skies)
Make me believe that this place isn't plagued by the poison in me
Help me decide if my fire will burn out before you can breathe
Breathe into me

I stand alone inside
I stand alone

Feeling your sting down inside me
I'm not dying for it
I stand alone
everything that I believe is fading

I stand alone inside
I stand alone inside
I stand alone inside
I stand alone inside

2009-04-12T00:49:00.000-07:00

Can't you see what this pain has fucking done to me
I'm alive and still kicking
What you see I can't see and maybe you'll think before you speak

I'm alive,
For you I'm awake
Because of you I'm alive
Told you I'm awake,
Swallowing you

Take another second
Turn your back on me
and make believe that you're always happy
It's safe to say you're never alive
A big part of you has died and by the way,
I hope you're satisfied

I'm alive,
For you I'm awake
Because of you I'm alive
Told you I'm awake,
Swallowing you

I'm alive,

21. Justin Timberlake - What Goes Around ... comes around

2009-04-12T00:47:00.000-07:00

Hey girl, is he everything you wanted in a man
You know I gave you the world
You had me in the palm of your hand

So why your love went away
I just can't seem to understand
Thought it was me and you babe
Me and you until the end
But I guess I was wrong

Don't want to think about it
Don't want to talk about it
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's ending this way

Just so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it
I just can't do without ya
Tell me is this fair?

Is this the way it's really going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should've known better when you came around
That you were gonna make me cry
It's breaking my heart to watch you run around
'Cause I know that you're living a lie
That's okay baby 'cause in time you will find...

What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around

Now girl, I remember everything that you claimed
You said that you were moving on now
And maybe I should do the same
Funny thing about that is
I was ready to give you my name
Thought it was me and you, babe
And now, it's all just a shame
And I guess I was wrong

Don't want to think about it
Don't want to talk about it
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's ending this way
Just so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it
I just can't do without ya
Can you tell me is this fair?

Is this the way things are going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should've known better when you came around (should've known better that you were gonna make me cry)
That you were going to make me cry
Now it's breaking my heart to watch you run around
'Cause I know that you're living a lie
That's okay baby 'cause in time you will find

What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around

That you were going to make me cry
Now it's breaking my heart to watch you run around
'Cause I know that you're living a lie
But that's okay baby 'cause in time you will find

What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around

[Comes Around interlude:]

Let me paint this picture for you, baby

You spend your nights alone
And he never comes home
And every time you call him
All you get's a busy tone
I heard you found out
That he's doing to you
What you did to me
Ain't that the way it goes

You cheated girl
My heart bleeds girl
So it goes without saying that you left me feeling hurt
Just a classic case
A scenario
Tale as old as time
Girl you got what you deserved

And now you want somebody
To cure the lonely nights
You wish you had somebody
That could come and make it right

But girl I ain't somebody with a lot of sympathy
You'll see

(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey

See?
You should've listened to me, baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Because
(What goes around comes back around)

20. Delta Goodrem - Believe Again

2009-04-12T00:46:00.000-07:00

Have you ever stared into the rain
Thought the clouds would never disappear
Have you ever screamed out into the dark
Thinking no one else could hear

I was leaving footprints tainted by my past
On this winding road to you

I'd lost my faith in love
Tonight i believe again
My Heart was a broken place
Now i feel whole again
You bring my honesty
And that's worth believing in
and i believe
I believe again

Have you ever spun out of control
Like you never saw the road ahead
Have you ever just kept looking back
Ever closer to the edge

I was praying for the light i see in your eyes
I had all but given up

I'd lost my faith in love
Tonight i believe again
My Heart was a broken place
Now i feel whole again
You bring my honesty
And that's worth believing in
and i believe
I believe again

I believe the impossible is possible to overcome
I believe in miricles
Born from love in everyone

I'd lost my faith in love
Tonight i believe again
My Heart was a broken place
Now i feel whole again
You bring my honesty
And that's worth believing in
and i believe
I believe again

18. Amy Grant - Winter Wonderland

2009-04-12T00:42:00.000-07:00

This is the famous Christmas song Winter Wonderland first published in 1934. Written by Felix Bernard (1897-1944) and the lyrics by Richard B. Smith (1901-1935).

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight.
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown

He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man,
But you can do the job
When you're in town.

Later on, we'll conspire,
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid,
The plans that we've made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
Until the other kids knock him down.

When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

We won't go until we get some, so bring some out here

We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

16. ABBA Happy New Year

2009-04-12T00:28:00.000-07:00

No more champagne
And the fireworks are through
Here we are, me and you
Feeling lost and feeling blue
It’s the end of the party
And the morning seems so grey
So unlike yesterday
Now’s the time for us to say...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don’t we might as well lay down and die
You and i

Sometimes I see
How the brave new world arrives
And I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our lives
Oh yes, man is a fool
And he thinks he’ll be okay
Dragging on, feet of clay
Never knowing he’s astray
Keeps on going anyway...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don’t we might as well lay down and die
You and i

Seems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead, nothing more
Than confetti on the floor
It’s the end of a decade
In another ten years time
Who can say what we’ll find
What lies waiting down the line
In the end of eighty-nine...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don’t we might as well lay down and die
You and i

03. Tom Cruise Scientology Video - ( Original UNCUT )

2009-04-12T00:05:00.000-07:00

Transcript:

I think it's a privilege to call yourself a Scientologist and it's something you have to earn. And because a Scientologist does, he or she has the ability to create new and better realities, and improve conditions. Ah ... being a Scientologist you look at someone and you know absolutely that you can help them.

So for me it really is KSW and it's just, like, it's, it's something that, ah ... I don't mince words with that, you know with anything that LRH does. But that policy with me has really gone, 'Boy'. And, and, I ... there was a time I went through it, I said, you know what, when I read it, I, you know, I just went "poo, this is it, this exactly it."

Being a Scientologist, when you drive past an accident, it's not like anyone else, it's, you drive past, you know you have to do something about it. Because you know you are the only one that can really help. But that's, that's what drives me. It's that I know that we have an opportunity and, ah, to really, to help for the first time and effectively change people's lives, and ah, I'm dedicated to that. I'm gonna, I'm absolutely, uncomprimisingly dedicated to that.

The orgs are there to help, OK. But we as, you know, as, also as the public, it's like, we have a responsibility. It's not just the orgs. It's not just Dave Miscavige. You know, it's not just, it's not just me. It's you. It's everyone out there. Kind of, re-reading KSW, and looking to see what needs to be done, saying OK, am I going to do it, or am I not going to do it? Period. And am I going to look at that guy, or am I too afraid because I have my own out ethics to put in someone else's ethics, and that is all it comes down to.

Because I won't hesitate to putting ethics in on someone else, you know, because I put it ruthlessly in on myself. And I think that, ah, I respect that in, in others, and, ah, you know, I am there to help. And we're here to help. And my opinion is, is that, look, you're either on board or you're not on board, OK? Which is it? If you're on board, you're on board, just like the rest of us. Period.

We are the authorities on getting people off drugs. We are the authorities on the mind. We are the authorities on improving conditions. Criminon. We can rehabilitate criminals. Way to happiness. We can bring peace, ah, and unite cultures. Ah, that once you know these tools and you know that they work, it's, it's not good enough that I'm just doing OK.

Travelling the world and meeting the people that I've met, you know, talking with these leaders in various fields ... they want help, and they are depending on people who know and who can be effective, and do it, and that's us. That is our responsibility to do that.

It is the time now. Now is the time. OK? It is being a Scientologist, people are turning to you, so you better know it, you better know it, and if you don't, you know, go and learn it. You know? But don't pretend you know it, and ... or for, you know, whatever. It's like, we're here to help.

If you're a Scientologist, you see life, you see things, the way they are, in all it's glory, you know, all of it's complexity, ah, and the more you know as a Scientologist, you don't become overwhelmed by it.
And ah ... when she, they said, "So, like, have you met an SP?" Hahahahahaha. And I looked at them, you know, and I thought, what a beautiful thing, because, maybe, one day, it will be like that. You know what I'm saying? Maybe one day it'll be that ... Wow. SPs, they'll just read about those in the history books, you know.

I just go through that tech, and it's, it, literally, it's not how to run from an SP. It's PTSSP - how to shatter oppression, confront, shatter oppression. You apply it, it's like 'boom'.

Because they don't come up to me and do that, ah, they don't do it to me, not to my face, you know, or anywhere in my vicinity where they feel they can be ... confronting. They just don't do it.

I wish the world was a different place, I'd like to go on vacation, and go and romp and play, and just do that. You know what I mean? I mean, that's what I want it to be. OK. That's how, you know, there's times I'd like to do that, but ... but I can't ... because ... I know, I know, so, you know, once you know, it's just ... I have to do something about it. It's not, you know, you can sit here and wish it was different, and then, you look at it. And you go, "OK, this is it, alright, OK". And at that moment where you go, you know, I have to do something, don't I? Yeah I really have to do it, because I cannot live with myself if I don't, and that really is it. I don't care if someone thinks it's hard or it's easy. Because you're either helping you're contributing everything you can, or you're not, OK? Ah, because I'm carrying my load, alright, and as much as you're carrying, I still feel like I got to do more. Alright. There's still a thing of 'let's go.'

You can see the look in their eyes. You know the ones who are doing it, you know, and you know the spectators, the ones who are going , 'Well, it's easy for you. What am I doing? And it's just, that thing is, ah, I've cancelled that in my area. It's like, man, you're either in or you're out. That's spectatorism, and it's something that, that is, we have no time for now.

So it's our responsibility to educate, create the new reality. You know, we have that responsibility to say, hey, this is the way it should be done. Because we do it this way and people are actually getting better.

Let's get it done. You know, let's really get it done. And have enough love, compassion and toughness, that you're going to do it, and, ah, do it right.

And I have to tell you something. I really, it is, you know, it's rough and tumble. And it's wild and woolly. And it's a blast ... it's a blast. It really is fun, because, damit, there's nothing better than the going out there and fighting the fight and suddenly you see, things are better.

I want to know that I've done everything I could, you know, every day when I think about those people out there who are depending on us. And, ah, I think about that. And it does make me feel, ah, like, man, you know, we got work, more help. Get those spectators, you're either in the playing field, or out of the arena. Really, that is how I feel about it.

I do what I can, and I do it the way I do everything ... hahahahahaha ... there's nothing part of the way for me. It's just wooo ...

02. Tom Cruise Scientology, Cult, Human Pet

2009-04-12T00:02:00.000-07:00

Transcript:

Hi, I’m Sarah, welcome to The Daily English Show.

The video I recommend to study today is a video that has been popular on the internet recently, the Tom Cruise Scientology video.

This is a video of Tom Cruise talking about Scientology which was intended to be for members of that group, but was somehow leaked.

So I’m going to talk about some language related to that video.

First of all, what is Scientology?

Wikipedia says it’s: a body of beliefs and related practices.

And it says the guy who started it, called it an applied religious philosophy.

And some people call it a cult.

Journalists, courts and the governing bodies of several countries have stated that the Church of Scientology is a cult.

I think it’s interesting that different people call the same group different things.

So what is a cult?

Cult typically refers to a cohesive social group devoted to beliefs or practices that the surrounding culture considers outside the mainstream, with a notably positive or negative popular perception. In common or populist usage, "cult" has a positive connotation for groups of art, music, writing, fiction, and fashion devotees, but a negative connotation for new religious, extreme political, questionable therapeutic, and pyramidal business groups.

It’s interesting how words have such strong connotations. If you’d never heard of Scientology before and I said it was a religion you might think, "oh yeah", but if I said it was a cult you might think, "ahh, scary".
But whatever label you give it, it is what it is, whatever that is, I’m not too sure, except that I read some of LRH’s theories on education and I thought they were nonsense.

Anyway, about this video, one interesting point is that Tom Cruise uses a lot of jargon – which is understandable because it was supposed to be an internal video.

I wasn’t sure how much – because sometimes I just think oh maybe it’s American English – or maybe I just don’t understand that word.

But then I saw one video which had subtitles explaining the jargon, which was helpful. For example, SP stands for suppressive person.

I looked at a site called whatisscientology.org and they have a glossary which explains a lot of scientology words, and suppressive person means:

a person who possesses a distinct set of characteristics and mental attitudes that cause him to suppress other people in his vicinity. This is the person whose behavior is calculated to be disastrous. Also called antisocial personality.

I think this video is popular because it makes Tom cruise sound kind of crazy, if you’re not into Scientology that is.

As for me I think this is one of the strangest lines.

Being a Scientologist, when you drive past an accident, it’s not like anyone else. As you drive past, you know you have to do something about it, because you know you’re the only one that can really help.

STICK NEWS

Kia Ora, in Stick News today, a British bus company has apologized to a human pet after one of its drivers threw her off a bus.

This 19-year-old woman says she is the pet of her 25-year-old fiancé.
Recently a bus driver told her to get off the bus. He said: "We don't let freaks and dogs like you on."
The company has now apologized. A spokesperson said they were worried about safety and she was welcome to use the buses but not when she is on her lead.
"Should she be attached to a chain and something happens on the bus, that could be dangerous,” they said.
The woman said her choice of lifestyle might seem unusual but was harmless.
"I am a pet," she said. "I generally act animal-like and I lead a really easy life. I don't cook or clean and I don't go anywhere without Dani. It might seem strange but it makes us both happy. It's my culture and my choice. It isn't hurting anyone."

And that was Stick News for Thursday 24 of January.
Kia Ora.

THE SNOW REPORT
on the road

It was really windy when we were driving back from Saison Club. Snow had blown over the road into mountain shapes, like sand dunes. It was really pretty. And scary too cause the wind was quite strong.

conversations with sarah
#377 Can cult have a positive meaning?

Step 1: Repeat Takako’s lines.
Step 2: Read Takako’s lines and talk to Sarah.

Takako Can cult have a positive meaning?

Sarah Yeah.

Takako In what way?

Sarah Um, when it’s used as an adjective before a noun, for example, a cult movie or cult book. Or a cult figure or cult status.

Takako What’s a cult movie? A movie about a cult?

Sarah No. Cult as an adjective means popular with a particular group. So a cult movie is very popular with a particular group of fans – as opposed to, say, a blockbuster which is a movie that has made a lot of money, so it’s more popular with a bigger group of people.
