TV -> some thoughts -> song -> some thoughts -> TV
Okay now you're probably wondering why I posted this video of a Japanese guy playing the piano... xD Let's start from the top.
I was watching some TV series and heard the name "Amelia Earhart" and I was wondering who is that woman? I remembered her name from that song "Someday We'll Know" by the New Radicals, and later on by Mandy Moore and Jonathan Foreman for the movie, "A Walk to Remember"... so I did a Google search and here's what I found:
Sources:
Wikipedia
Site built in memory of her -> I'm not very sure who created this site
Anyway, it turns out that Amelia Earhart is an amazing female pilot, has did a lot of firsts in her life in the field of aviation... and she attempted to be the first to fly around the world! But before she could do that, she suddenly disappeared with her navigator while she was flying towards Howland Island. A lot of money was spent on searching for her but no body or bones were found. There were a lot of theories on her disappearance, if you're interested, you may check out the Wikipedia source. xD
So anyway, I was reading through her page and found some Music references about her... and found the song "Someday We'll Know" as I remembered earlier. Then found another song, "Amelia's Missing" by Jon McLaughlin - and just remembered his song "So Close" from one of Disney's most amazing movies of all time - "Enchanted". Please watch it if you are a fan of realistic feel-good fairy tales! I really love that movie! And I also really love the soundtrack! Especially this song, "So Close". So I was trying to search for the original MTV of Jon McLaughlin in Youtube but couldn't find any... instead, I found a bunch of people who recorded their own video while they were playing the song on piano. And the video above was the best that I found because this is a full version and I can really feel the emotion in the sound of the piano. Really nice work!
And then I just remembered one of my ultimate dreams was to play the clarinet for the orchestra of 植松伸夫, Uematsu Nobuo who composed a lot of songs for Final Fantasy video games. I really loooove his compositions! And I really want to play someday for his orchestra... Anywaaay... I just realized that I still want to buy a really nice keyboard and I want to play the keyboard again whenever I feel like it. And when I finally got a keyboard, I WILL download tons and tons of music sheets from the web! Yay~!!
So there, I just got myself a lot more things to look forward to someday... and things to spend money on... Oh. Now that I think about it.... I'm kinda broke. xD Maybe I should just resume watching TV for now. xP
