This is the song “United breaks guitars” version 2 of Dave Carroll. I’ve found the lyric. Because of his successful in the 1st song, there’re many volunteer join in this clips.

United Breaks Guitars Song 2

What did you mean when you said you were sorry
I'm a bit confused

I think you owe for wrecking my guitar
But you don't think you do

I found a guy to fix it
For 1,200 bucks
But you tell me that you're
Sorry and it's my tough luck

United sees no need to make anything right
Oh, Ms. Irlwig, we don't need to fight

If you just come to your senses
Accept the consequences
Of you letting certain baggage handlers
Smash my property

We could be best buddies
But our friendship has been muddied
By a flawed United Airlines policy

I sense tone in your last couple emails,
Why is that the case?

Is it that I've got questions,
You've got the answers
You don't wanna face

You've gone dark and silent as a submarine
Leaving me hanging like Apollo 13

Adrift in space, alone
With no end in sight

Oh, Ms. Irlwig, we don't need to fight

If you just come to your senses
Accept the consequences
Of you letting certain baggage handlers
Smash my property

We could be best buddies
But our friendship has been muddied
By a flawed United Airlines policy

(Music)

If you just come to your senses
Accept the consequences
Of you letting certain baggage handlers
Smash my property

We could be best buddies
But our friendship has been muddied
By a flawed United Airlines policy

By a flawed United Airlines policy

A Squirrel ate pumpkins. Unfortunately, they were fermented. So the squirrel was drunk. He tried to climb the tree!
The lesson: Don’t drink too much!

That’s amazing! It’s hard to believe it’s a young boy’s performance till you see it.
His name is Jung Sung Ha. He’s playing Billie Jeans (Michael Jackson) by guitar.
Enjoy his incredible performance…

Lyrics:
United Breaks Guitars

I flew United Airlines on my way to Nebraska
The plane departed, Halifax, connecting in Chicago's "O'Hare".
While on the ground, a passenger said from the seat behind me,
"My God, they're throwing guitars out there"

The band and I exchanged a look, best described as terror
At the action on the tarmac, and knowing whose projectiles these would be
So before I left Chicago, I alerted three employees
Who showed complete indifference towards me

United...
(United...)
You broke my Taylor Guitar
United...
(United...)
Some big help you are

You broke it, you should fix it
You're liable, just admit it
I should've flown with someone else
Or gone by car

'Cause United breaks guitars.

When we landed in Nebraska, I confirmed what I'd suspected
My Taylor'd been the victim of a vicious act of malice at O'Hare

So began a year long saga, of "Pass the buck", "Don't ask me", and "I'm sorry, sir, your claim can go no where".
So to all the airlines people, from New York to New Deli
Including kind Ms. Irlweg, who says the final word from them is "no".

I heard all your excuses,
And I've chased your wild gooses
And this attitude of yours, I say, must go

United...
(United...)
You broke my Taylor Guitar
United...
(United...)
Some big help you are

You broke it, you should fix it
You're liable, just admit it
I should've flown with someone else
Or gone by car

'Cause United breaks guitars.

Well, I won't say that I'll never fly with you again,
'Cause, maybe, to save the world, I probably would,
But that won't likely happen,
And if it did, I wouldn't bring my luggage
'Cause you'd just go and break it,
Into a thousand pieces,
Just like you broke my heart

When United breaks guitars.

United...
(United...)
You broke my Taylor Guitar
United...
(United...)
Some big help you are

You broke it, you should fix it
You're liable, just admit it
I should've flown with someone else
Or gone by car

'Cause United breaks guitars.

Yeah, United breaks guitars.

Yeah, United breaks guitars.



United Airlines Song Background (Detailed Version)

On March 31, 2008 Sons of Maxwell began our week-long-tour of Nebraska by flying United Airlines from Halifax to Omaha, by way of Chicago. On that first leg of the flight were seated at the rear of the aircraft and upon landing and waiting to deplane in order to make our connection a woman sitting behind me, not aware that we were musicians cried out: “My god they’re throwing guitars out there”. Our bass player Mike looked out the window in time to see his bass being heaved without regard by the United baggage handlers. My $3500 710 Taylor had been thrown before his.

I immediately tried to communicate this to the flight attendant who cut me off saying: “Don’t talk to me. Talk to the lead agent outside”. I found the person she pointed to and that lady was an “acting” lead agent but refused to talk to me and disappeared into the crowd saying “I’m not the lead agent”. I spoke to a third employee at the gate and when I told her the baggage handlers were throwing expensive instruments outside she dismissed me saying “but hun, that’s why we make you sign the waiver”. I explained that I didn’t sign a waiver and that no waiver would excuse what was happening outside. She said to take it up with the ground crew in Omaha.

When I got to Omaha it was around 12:30 am. The plane was late arriving and there were no employees visible. Although I was told later that it wouldn’t have mattered, I should have taken my hard case out of the padded protective exterior case to examine the guitar at the airport but I didn’t. The guitar case looked ok and we were tired, went to the hotel and then to sleep for our early morning pick-up by the tour managers the next day. When they picked us up in the early morning we would not be back in Omaha for seven days. It was later that day at sound check that I discovered that the base of my Taylor had been smashed.

One week later I returned to Omaha for my return trip. I explained what had happened and the United agent in Omaha said I needed to start a claim at the airport where the trip began (Halifax). So here is what happened next.

When I got home to Halifax I was told that United doesn’t really have a presence there and that Air Canada is their partner. Every plane I flew on that day said “United” on the side but technically they have no presence there. So, Air Canada gave me a phone number to start my claim with United. When I called the number United said I had to return to the Halifax airport with the guitar to show the damage to someone and open a claim. When I returned to the Halifax airport I met with an Air Canada employee, because United has no presence there, and that person acknowledged the damage, opened a claim number but “denied” the claim because Air Canada would not be responsible for damage caused by United employees in Chicago (which still makes sense to me).

I took the claim number and called United back. They never seemed to be able find the claim number on several subsequent phone calls but at the last minute it would always surface. I spoke several times to what I believe were agents in India who, ironically were the most pleasant, and seemed genuinely sorry for what had happened. Three or four months later I got directed to the Chicago baggage offices of United and after several attempts to speak with someone was told to simply bring in the guitar for inspection…to Chicago…from Halifax, Canada.

When I explained that Halifax is far from Chicago someone then said my claim needed to go through Central Baggage in New York and they gave me a toll free phone number. I phoned that number and spoke to someone. She couldn’t understand why someone in Chicago thought she would be able to help me but she seemed to feel for me and asked me to fax her all the information. I did and a few weeks passed with no reply. I called back and the lady said she’d never received the fax. Then I asked her to look for it and surprisingly, there it was. When she found it she asked me to give her a couple of days and to call back. I did, and by the time I phoned again two days later, the number had been discontinued.

I had to start all over again with the same 1-800 # to India, where they were as sorry as ever for what happened, couldn’t find my claim at first, and told me I needed to bring the guitar into Chicago’s O’Hare for inspection. Six months had gone by and the guitar had now been repaired for $1200 to a state that it plays well but has lost much of what made it special. I spoke to a customer service manager in India who promised to forward a note to have someone in Chicago contact me. I received a letter a about a month later from Chicago with no name or contact info, saying someone would be contacting me about this.

Another month went by and I received an email from a Ms. Irlweg, in Chicago I believe. Basically said she was sorry this happened and denied my claim. Some of her reasons included :

* I didn’t report it to the United employees who weren’t present when we landed in Omaha
* I didn’t report to the Omaha airport within 24 hours while I was driving to places that weren’t Omaha
It was an Air Canada issue
* Air Canada already denied the claim (as I mentioned, because Air Canada would not pay for United’s damages), but I’m still unsure as to why I needed to report it in Omaha within 24 hours if it was clearly Halifax’s responsibility
* Someone from United would need to see the damage to a guitar that was repaired

So after nine months it came down to a series of emails with Ms. Irlweg and, despite her refusal to introduce me to her supervisor, our conversations ended with her saying United would not be taking any responsibility for what had happened and that that would be the last email on the matter. My final offer of a settlement of $1200 in flight vouchers, to cover my salvage costs repairing the Taylor, was rejected.

At that moment it occurred to me that I had been fighting a losing battle all this time and that fighting over this at all was a waste of time. The system is designed to frustrate affected customers into giving up their claims and United is very good at it. However I realized then that as a songwriter and traveling musician I wasn’t without options. In my final reply to Ms. Irlweg I told her that I would be writing three songs about United Airlines and my experience in the whole matter. I would then make videos for these songs and share them on YouTube, inviting viewers to vote on their favourite United song. My goal: to get one million hits in one year.

To date I have written “United: Song 1” and “United: Song 2” and I’m proud to now release the first video in the trilogy. The response has been incredible so far. Everyone involved in the recording of the track and filming/editing of the video has volunteered their time and pre-production work is underway for the filming of United: Song 2 (hopefully to be released later this summer).

United has demonstrated they know how to keep their airline in the forefront of their customer’s minds and I wanted this project to expand upon that satirically. I’ve been done “being angry” for quite some time and, if anything, I should thank United. They’ve given me a creative outlet that has brought people together from around the world. We had a pile of laughs making the recording and the video while the images are spinning on how to make “United: Song 2” even better than the first. So, thanks United! If my guitar had to be smashed due to extreme negligence I’m glad it was you that did it. Now sit back and enjoy the show.

I really like Secret Garden, a music band included one man (Rolf Lovland) and one woman (Fionnuala Sherry). And “Song from the Secret Garden” is one of my favorite songs. I often enjoy their songs after midnight. Even though it’s not make me funny, happy of something like that, but I feel calm.


If you want to listen all of their song, visit this site and download it.

Now please enjoy song named "Song from the Secret Garden" from album "Songs From A Secret Garden" (1995)

Stan Munro, the former television presenter used more than 170 liters of glue as he worked full time on buildings such as Big Ben, Tower Bridge and The Vatican.

He spent six years building famous landmarks from around the world - using six million toothpicks.

I think could do one, but I lack of patience and concentration to do all of them. It’s unbelievable.

Now, enjoy some of his masterpieces.

The first time I heard this song, I loved it immediately!
At sometimes and somewhere in your life, you feel it very difficult to live in this world. All things happen to you are bad, and you don’t know how to overcome it. Finally, however, you pass the pain and you wonder what strength you get to survive after that.

All you need at cruel time are find a light and come to it till you can see the shine. And, you will recognize that the life is really beautiful because you see the purpose that make you be here and who you are in the earth.

I hear this song to remember that I also have bad times in my life.

Here’s Nerina Pallot performance at Live from Abbey Road



Here's the lyric:

Idaho (Nerina Pallot)

In the back of a car on a road in the dark
In the stillicide, silently falling snow
I have packed everything that I own in a bag
And I’m driving, I’m driving to Idaho.
A poem for leaving, a reason to go
So I’m driving, I’m driving to Idaho

Cause I can’t be anyone but me, anyone but me.
And I can’t keep dreaming that I’m free, dreaming that I’m free
I don’t want to fall asleep and watch my life from fifty feet
My hands are on the wheel so I’m driving to Idaho.
Cause I hear it’s mighty pretty...

And oh, I’ve been dumb; I’ve been perfectly beautiful
Lain on my back buying lovers with stealth.
But I’m sick of you all, and I’m sick of opinions
And I’m sick of this war I wage on myself...
I don’t know why I’m so gripped to go there –
A universe riddles that only I know?
Mr. Robert he says, ‘It’s all in the head!’
Tell me, Phaedrus, what’s good, is it Idaho?

Cause I can’t be anyone but me, anyone but me.
And I can’t keep dreaming that I’m free, dreaming that I’m free
I don’t want to fall asleep and watch my life from fifty feet
My hands are on the wheel so I’m driving to Idaho.
Cause I hear it’s mighty pretty...
In Idaho.

The first time I knew Britain’s Got Talent when I heard Susan Boyle sang “I dreamed a dream”. From that, I sometimes search many clips in Youtube.com and find many good clips.

Everyone joins this program has a dream, and they do their best to do it. They cry a happy tear when gone to the next round. Some people wish they could have a better life for them and their loves. They had experiences in life, sadness, happiness, so their performances are really impressive. And I love it.

I really like the performances in the first round, because that’s the time competitors are themselves.

These are 2 clips I really love:
Jamie Pugh sang “Bring him home” from Les Miserables. He’s a warehouse worker on day and pizza delivery at night.

This is also a clip about Connie Talbot. She sang “Ben” of Michael Jackson at semifinal. It’s amazing, too!



Here's the lyric of this song:
Ben
Artist(Band): Michael Jackson

Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you my friend will see
You've got a friend in me
(You've got a friend in me)

Ben, you're always running here and there
(Here and there)
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
(Anywhere)
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
There's something you should know
You've got a place to go
(You've got a place to go)

I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"

Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben
(A friend)
Like Ben
(Like Ben)
Like Ben

I found this clip, this was in Britain’s got talent 2007. Connie Talbot, 6 year-old at that time, sang a song named “Over the rainbow” with a sweet voice. So I let it in my blog. Enjoy..! Here’s her performance at Live Final.



Here's the lyric:
Over the rainbow (Dorothy)

Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high.
There's a land that I heard of Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue.
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops, Away above the chimney tops.
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly. Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then - oh, why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow,
Why, oh, why can't I?

If you want some cute funny icon to express your emotion, this website - http://www.anikaos.com - is really helpful for you. There’re lots of icons in many categories, especially gif extension, so you have many choices. I love onion icon (avatar, emotion in gif extension…). I’ll use it for my chat box (and later, my post).
