WARNING: (Not For a Faint of Heart!) When you get to the bottom and back from the Top?

Currently Listening : Helter Skelter : U2

I was intrigued with Bono's Line from Rattle and Hum : " This song Charles Manson stole from the Beatles, We're stealing it back"

so I search about this " Charles Manson " guy and I thought he was a celebrity. as of writing, I was disconnected on the internet 4X, so who is this Charles Manson?
a nutcase? a savior or the next nostradamus. so I had to research him in Wikipedia.

Rocky Raccoon
Significance: Rocky Raccoon means "coon," vulgar term for a black man
Of all the Beatles songs known to have been connected with Helter Skelter, this is the only one that mentions the Bible. (It is possibly the only Beatles song at all that mentions the Bible.) A play on the
Gideons International practice of leaving Bibles in hotel rooms, the references are to a Bible left in the room of the title character by a "Gideon":

So one day [Rocky Raccoon] walked into town/ Booked himself a room in the local saloon/ Rocky Raccoon/ Checked into his room/ Only to find Gideon's Bible... Now Rocky Raccoon/ He fell back in his room/ Only to find Gideon's Bible/ Gideon checked out/ And he left it no doubt/ To help with good Rocky's revival.

"Coon," "You know that's a word they use for black people. You know the line, 'Gideon checked out/ And left no doubt/ To help good Rocky's revival.' Rocky's revival -- re-vival. It means coming back to life. The black man is going to come into power again. 'Gideon checks out' means that it's all written out there in the New Testament, in the Book of Revelations

If you missed out The Presidential Sen Barack Obama is facing some racism in the U.S. if you look at the interpretation. its like a prophecy waiting to come out.

Happiness Is a Warm Gun
Significance: The Beatles are telling blacks to get guns and fight whites
Sample lyric: When I hold you in my arms/ And I feel my finger on your trigger/ I know no one can do me no harm/ Because happiness is a warm gun/ (Bang bang, shoot shoot)


Blackbird
Lyric: Blackbird singing in the dead of night/ Take these broken wings and learn to fly/ All your life/ You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
Meaning: The black man is going to arise and overthrow the white man. The Beatles are programming blacks to rise


Look out... Helter Skelter... She's coming down fast... Yes she is.
Meaning:The upcoming explosion of race-based violence is imminent. These are the "last few months, weeks, perhaps days, of the old order."

Note: Even to someone unaware that helter-skelter is the name of a slide, the song's mention of a slide might have indicated that the "she" in this part of the lyrics is someone who, literally or otherwise, is riding on a slide and "coming down fast" -- helter-skelter. In My Life with Charles Manson,
Paul Watkins makes clear Manson construed "she" as a reference to the words "helter skelter" themselves. It is Helter Skelter -- which, in America, at least, can be the noun "confusion"[71] -- that is coming down fast, i.e., is imminent.[72]
Manson also hears the Beatles whispering to him to call them in London


If you look at America, dollar rate is coming down so fast.
If you think Charles Manson is a nutcase, Think again
In The Year 2012, The Mayans Predicted that the World will End.
In This Year, Charles Manson will be Granted a Parole
Book of Revelation = The Beast will be Set Free From Prison
2012 = 2+0 1+2 = 23
wheras the number 23 is the number of the Beast.
Coincidence? You Decide?

Songs Which God Doesn’t Wants Us to Hear

Currently Listening : Watching The Wheels - John Lennon
Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division

I'm so bored tonight that I had to blog, which is the start of my ambitious project, honestly. for the first time in my life. I had a clear vision on what project I would write. It's a 3EP song project which has a hint of Plato's famous " Allegory of the Cave "

It's about "the truth" or "manufactured truth" I shared this with a "Someone". but haven't got a replied on it. ironically the last song was finished within 5 minutes and its so weird that it sound so eere but cool. with a hint of influence by Joy Division " Love Will Tear Us Apart "
Speaking about Joy Division. the first time I heard the voice of Ian Curtis, I can feel how emotional this person is. and when I heard my own voice, its like a monster that is hidden within me waiting to come out.

I'm not expecting this album will sell multimillion or hundred thousand or even a single copy(Lol). because it's not a pop song. its hard to digest on the emphasis of the song and it is full of methapor. I think I need some support financially and personally. Robbie told me that he loved the introduction but its not A POP song. so it won't sell. (awww. what a good way to discorage a person)

I think this project is called " Songs which God Doesn't want Us To Hear"
because its a collection of Truth and Fabricated Truth about life. "Darkness" "Light" and "Shadow"
(oops. did I spilled the 3 Titles?)

Tonal Language in Music?

Currently Listening :
Nobility on its knees - U2 (Wave of Sorrow)


Slowly, The Puzzle I've been questioning for a long time is shedding some light, digging to a deeper hole, which I have to be more careful.

I've been researching about some history, mostly with Africa. for what I know, the whole system that God Created on this earth is on Africa. so I figure out some African music and came up with "tonal language" is a language that uses tone to distinguish words, we ( the Chinese) use this method. African language mostly use "Tonal Language" in their music but I never heard of African music

Coincidencially, "Breathe of Life and Harmony of the Wind " which I experimented with using tone to distinguish words. its hard to explain but it freaked me out.

Harmony of the wind = c^a^n y^ou feel the harmony^ of the~~~ wind when love comes around. ( I tried to harmonized the word "harmony of the wind" on how the wind blows).

Breathe of Life = its like you're gasping with air and you want to live. (to walk a mile and give a little breathe of life.)

but I really want to thank my "Cantonese" influences LOL, if you listen to Cantonese you will hear more up's and downs in a tone. lol

With Or Without You.. I Can’t Live

Currently Writing : Fear of Having Love, Denied (My Composition), With Or Without You - U2

I was stalking some blog (dare not speak his name.) and found out some interesting things about him which kinda remind me of my father. People say that my father is one of the generous person that they ever met and I tend to agree with it. but we always fight about one thing: try to impress people and always giving out promises which sometimes makes it hard to complete. for example he would really try to reach to the farthest places even if it is impossible for him.

I remembered when we have these parties or gatherings with my uncles, usually my father brings all the gifts and food which really cost too much. they always have these heated argument by bringing expensive foods and things which is unnecessary. I also remembered those fight with his friends just because they rejected my father's offer.

some flashback just popped into my mind about what he said : " you never know what I truly feel, it hurts when you can't give something to someone and felt guilty about it." and at those times he was so depressed.

I always thought he was wrong. but when I received some negative comments about me, how I was misunderstood. I talked to robbie and said : " you know it hurts when you "fail" somebody. its like you can't sleep with it for a long time. you want to give more even if you don't have it."

so I tried to patch things up to be pleased. I think its the lesson what father gave me.

he died happily and peacefully knowing all those sacrifice are worth it. one feng shui expert said that "He emits a very nice aura. I think he is nice person" he had a smile on his face

I think that's when I realized that you give everything to someone even if he/she really wants more.

and I wait.....

for you......

(oh..) that's a U2 song.

With or Without you... I can't Live...

for Years I was trying to figure out

( I think now I Understand what the song means! )

Secret in Songwriting Revealed?

Currently Listening : Ticket To Ride - Beatles

People can hire some killer to kill me for saying this, I recently discovered " The Beatles " though I'm a John Lennon/Yoko Ono fan. but I never listened to the Beatles. but wow, everybody was right. its so addictive and made "Ticket to Ride" on constant Repeat for 2 weeks.

I also Love another song " The Ballad of John/Yoko " - (well Christ it ain't easy, They're gonna crucify me.)

I think this started the Songwriting Chemistry (Lennon/McCartney) in the Music Universe, I will cite some Examples :

1.) Jon Bon Jovi / Richie Sambora ( Bon Jovi)
2.) Bono / Edge ( U2)
3.) Mick Jagger / Kieth Richards ( Rolling Stones)
4.) Darren Hayes / Daniel Jones ( Savage Garden)
5.) Lee Marvin Tang / (----------) (-----------)

* it's not a crime to dream.* LOL

Music is like children with proper care and beautiful relationship can produce beautiful results.

I found this one while searching on the Beatles. 

One writer would sketch an idea or a song fragment and take it to the other to finish or improve; in some cases, two incomplete songs or song ideas that each had worked on individually would be combined into a complete song. Often one of the pair would add a so-called middle eight or bridge section to the other's verse and chorus. Lennon called it "Writing eyeball-to-eyeball", and "Playing into each other's noses". This approach of the Lennon/McCartney songwriting team — with elements of competitiveness and mutual inspiration as well as straightforward collaboration and creative merging of musical ideas — is often cited as a key reason for the Beatles' innovativeness and popular success.

I agree with this one. Robbie and Christian told me I'm very good at sketching an idea but Very Poor in finishing it. My father always scold me on this one. I always do things incomplete. that's why I need someone or somebody to Reconnect with it or finish it. that
mutual connections
.  I really love those.

Right now, I used a unique pen name in writing song

"Seraphim" - I hope the angel seraphim wont be mad.

I wish my songwriting partner will come like a fairy Godmother. Hahahaha. Yes I'm insane.

Why So serious?

muhahahahhahaha!!!!

The Long Walk To Justice

Currently Listening : (Dusting Off) Those Composition I Made
Long Walk To Justice
Redemption
Is This Love?

I remembered the mysterious song I wrote "Long Walk To Justice" Coincidentally, I mentioned about " The Long Winding Road " in the song and I swear to God That I'm not aware that its from the Beatles. Coincidentally it was sung by Sir Paul McCartney on the Live 8 Concert

"The Long Walk" was inspired by the Live 8 slogan " The Long Walk To Justice ", the lyrics and melody was written so fast and linked like a chain. which is very very. weird.

I mentioned to my friends that hidden beneath Africa is the Garden of Eden. where it all began and where paradise is. People thought I'm crazy and I'm not forcing them to believe. as the series of events entwined mysteriously I slowly believed that Hope is still on the earth.

I saw a documentary about a Priest who was given by God the power of healing, He mentioned that when He received this gift, he walked away with it because he felt he's not worthy of this mission.

I really don't know, if I was given some kind of mission

would I accept that kind of mission. or Reluctantly ignore it?

I still enjoy my Portable Video Game, but after watching Ronnie John's Chopper impersonation Harder the F*ck up I was moved of guilty conscience. LOL

In A Blink of An Eye

    Currently Listening : Darkness - Darren Hayes

I received a text message that Heath Ledger died in his sleep and found sleeping pills (Xanax and Valium) beside him, In a blink of an eye when I saw the article I was shocked, yesterday I was watching how amazing his role on " The Joker" and next day He's dead. I used to take sleeping pills when I was in high school. I even tried to put myself into eternal sleep when I took 5 sleeping pills and even experimented with alcohol. and S*it I'm still F**** alive. I never took them again because it felt uneasy. my body felt so numb and I don't want to experience the same pain again.

Why so serious you asked me? I don't know, I think I should consult a doctor too. I was alarmed. for 2 months I always sleep at 4:00am and wake up at 7:30am and Robbie said that my heart is palpitating and I really felt uneasy everyday.

I was depressed and the signs are coming to me.

Yesterday, I was looking at the counter and found a breakthrough perfume called the happy therapy and it cost 2,000 ( same price with a 2G mp3 player) they gave me a sample and told me that it can cure depression.  but it backfired. it got me so depressed that for a price of 2,000 it didn't put me to sleep. (ok that's a bad joke)

so I had to make a choice, its either I give up on my life or endure this pain.

I was so lonely I don't know why?

I think I would adopt a pet dog.

Why So Serious ?


Currently Watching : The Dark Knight Trailer

I always want to play the part of the Joker, that's my dream. Why so serious? hehehe. its a very challenging role, a psychopath clown with nothing to fear but laugh.

Why so Serious? - I remembered when I was a young boy, I questions like why the sky is blue? or why this and that. they say that I'm very
argumentative, constantly questioning and conscious about the the origin of life. sometimes my relatives are pissed off with my question powers. Hahahaha.

Fast Forward to the Present. I noticed that most of my musical Compositions are based on Series of Questions, In short Why so serious?

I just want to rant. hehehe

Watch Out for The " V1 Project "

I changed my " 40 Unified Core Project" This is the first name that pops into my mind on my project but some band already got the "Unified - Einstein" thing. its hard to let go but, I renamed it as the V1 Project, it reflects something on what my journey in music is all about.

V1 =

critical engine failure recognition speed. V1 is the minimum speed in the takeoff, following a failure of the critical engine at VEF, at which the pilot can continue the takeoff with only the remaining engines. Any problems after V1 are treated as in-flight emergencies. In the case of a balanced field takeoff, V1 is the maximum speed in the takeoff at which the pilot must take the first action (e.g., apply brakes, reduce thrust, deploy speed brakes) to stop the aircraft within the accelerate-stop distance and the minimum speed at which the takeoff can be continued and achieve the required height above the takeoff surface within the takeoff distance. In this context, V1 is the takeoff decision speed.
I think with all the failures and stupid decisions in giving away and handling my music, I think this "name" gives me a knock on the head after all the failures and frustration. I need to burst out on a careful speed.

I remembered what the Sir Jose Mari Chan gave me a very Helpful advice, "Copyright"© all my songs. I'm really thankful for that advice. I guess I should make my "babies" seriously and carefully. I don't want to commit the same mistakes again, That's why I had simmy in my place to help me take care of these music.

V1 = also known as the Visual Cortex -

The tuning properties of V1 neurons (what the neurons respond to) differ greatly over time. Early in time (40 ms and further) individual V1 neurons have strong tuning to a small set of stimuli. That is, the neuronal responses can discriminate small changes in visual orientations, spatial frequencies and colors. Furthermore, individual V1 neurons in human and animals with binocular vision have ocular dominance, namely tuning to one of the two eyes. In V1, and primary sensory cortex in general, neurons with similar tuning properties tend to cluster together as cortical columns.

I'm still finding a systematic pattern on writing songs. currently when I start to hum or create a melody with a "nonsense" lyric, slowly it is building a structure. but I don't know what direction it will form, I guess I need someone to guide me

That's when I need someone to show me or guide me to a direction. or what they call "Collaboration"

I really know my weakness and I admit I'm naked without other people's mind and soul, I believe in working together as a team, I also believe in synchronization with each other, sharing ideas on how a project will surface

Thus... V1 project is formed.

Thank You God, now I need someone to help with this process.
