Yellow River

In Honor of My Father, a soldier from the real Yellow River, who could not return to his homeland because of Communists and American Policy
Yellow River
So long boy you can take my place got my papers I've got my pay So pack my bags and I'll be on my way to yellow river
Put my guns down the war is won Fill my glass high the time has come
I'm going back to the place that I love yellow river
Yellow river yellow river is in my mind and in my eyes
Yellow river yellow river is in my blood it's the place I love Got no time for explanation got no time to lose
Tomorrow night you'll find me Sleeping underneath the moon at yellow river
Cannon fire lingers in my mind I'm so glad that I'm still alive And I've been gone for such a long time from yellow river
I remember the nights were cool I can still see the water pool And I remember the girl that I knew from yellow river
Yellow river yellow river is in my mind and in my eyes Yellow river yellow river is in my blood it's the place I love

American Impressionist 美國印象派

詹森夫人在白宮
1912-2007 American Impressionist
美國印象派
American Value and Beauty
美國的價值與美麗
She walked past American prairie Representing American Value and beauty
她走過了美國場 代表美國的價值與美麗 由於如詹森夫人這樣的風格的大自然純朴美的女性, 我不應後悔來到美國.
Such as Lady Johnson with a pure love toward the nature and the environment I shall never regret to live here in her homeland An humanistic expressionist for the soil and wild Open her unconstrained wings Born such is the love Not Separated from a universal warmth In possession of special vision We reminisce about her Just like a wild flower in the empty valley Fragrant and unpretentious on its own, though unbeknowst to the world The little window passing the moon
無壓抑的, 對土地的深情, 如大鵬之翼開展無礙 具有天生的親善與關愛 自然美麗的超然理想, 好純淨高華 讓我們想起她如一陣空谷裡的野花 兀自芬芳 窗外圓月 靜灑清暉!
In a 1990 Democratic seminar, former first lady Johnson said:
1990年的美國民主講座, 前第一夫人詹森夫人 她說: we want to enjoy the wildflowers
我們要保持, 純然, 鄉間的野花,
See their beauty. Preserve our environment. We don't want grids of shopping malls, and so many billboards. Let Vermont be like Vermont. Texas, or California, has its own characteristics.
讓維蒙特州, 持久下去, 擁有它自然的特色 不論德州, 加州, 各有千秋
She is like a teacher, coaching us, to be aware of the environment...
演講的語氣, 親切的與大眾無間, 散發 無限活躍力 我想, 中國人, 為什麼, 沒有多一點, 愛環境, 鄉土的作為?
Why can't Chinese have a little love toward the environment? Poor Lake Tai. Recent Algae infection. If I lost my father's land, my mother's land, what good am I? If I lose you, can you return back? Can I save you? Scream.. Please ...Please spare us those destruction!
可憐的太湖, 可憐的父鄉, 母鄉... 失去了你們, 不會再回來了! 可以拯救的了嗎? 吶喊著! 請您們高抬貴手吧!

I Go To Pieces
My Young Electric Guitar Idols, Peter and Gordon
青年的偶像

電子風琴與吉他

青年的夢, 夢碎後, 仍然美麗的顫抖.

絲竹之奏
絲竹是內心深處的轉承, 輕微地敲打, 飛翔久的靈魂
Electric guitar with organ chords to portray a younger note to the dream.
Though it is broken to pieces, it still holds a tone of ringing the fine love. Silk string and Bamboo pipe projects a persona to the heart chord.
That is attenuated in gentle beats.
I Go To Pieces
When I see her comin' down the street
I get so shaky and I feel so weak
I tell my eyes look the other way
But they don't seem to hear a word I say
And I, go to pieces and I wanna hide
Go to pieces and I almost die
Everytime my baby passes by
I tell my arms they'll hold someone new
Another love that will be true
But they don't listen, they don't seem to care
They reach for her but she's not there
And I, go to pieces and I wanna hide
Go to pieces and I almost die
Everytime my baby passes by
I remember what she said when she said
"Goodbye baby. We'll meet again soon maybe"
"But until we do, all my best to you"
I'm so lonely, I think about her only
I go to places we used to go
But I know she'll never show
She hurt me so much inside
Now I hope she's satisfied
And I, go to pieces and I wanna hide
Go to pieces and I almost die
Everytime my baby passes by
Go to pieces and I cry
Everytime my baby passes by
Go to pieces and I cry
A World Without Love, by Peter and Gordon

Peter And Gordon
Peter Asher, Jane Asher's brother, and Gordon Waller joined together in 1962 and performed under the name of Peter And Gordon.
In 1964, they covered an early composition written by Paul McCartney called A World Without Love, which reached #1 in the US and UK charts.
They performed this song live at the TV special The Music Of Lennon And McCartney, which was broadcasted in December 1965.
Paul wrote two other songs in 1964 which were custom built for the duo, Nobody I Know and I Don't Want To See You Again.
Woman, another song written by Paul under the pseudonym of Bernard Webb, was given to the duo in 1966.
After the split of Peter And Gordon in 1967, Peter Asher got nominated to the post of artistic director at Apple Corporation.
He also became producer and manager of Linda Ronstadt and James Taylor.

Please lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside where I hide
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say I won't stay
In a world without love
Birds sing out of tune
And rain clouds hide the moon
I'm OK, here I'll stay
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say I won't stay
In a world without love
So I wait and in a while
I will see my true love's smile
She may come, I know not when
When she does I lose
So baby until then
Lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside where I hide
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say
I won't stayIn a world without love
------ organguitar ------
So I wait and in a while
I will see my true love's smile
She may come, I know not when
When she does I lose
So baby until then
Lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside where I hide
With my loneliness
I don't care what they say I won't stay
In a world without love
I don't care what they say I won't stay
In a world without love
