Shirotenshi

Does Language Of Music Matter?
We may not be able to understand exactly what people are saying across different languages, humans have evolved to share and express the same basic emotions in similar ways. This allows us to understand each other's facial expressions even if we don't share the same spoken language. So one does not “necessarily have to speak the language to enjoy the music”. For example, KPOP to Americans is considered weird. At first, for me, it was a little bit weird, but then I tried listening to the music. Music is a language that no other language control.

Essential Rock Stories: Journey's Search for a Name
As the iconic rock band Journey approaches its 50 year anniversary, it's inevitable that many fans and critics will turn their eyes (and ears) to the group's origins five decades ago. The group has seen many changes since its formation in 1973, most notably the departure of lead singer and powerhouse vocalist Steve Perry in 1998. Perry provided vocals during the group's peak of fame in the early to mid 80's, when hits such as the anthem "Don't Stop Believin,'" romantic ballad "Open Arms," and infectious "Any Way You Want It" were dominating the airways and popular culture.

Music Carrier Fighting
Music Carrier Fighting Successful people are not successful because they are smart or talented, but because they are successful because they do the right things. Tom was ready to be an artist, but he wasn't ready to do what he was doing.
