The Road Throught The Hills

Jamie studies architecture and on his vacations he went to Melbury, in south of England. He wanted to see a church there.When he arrived there, he saw in the wall "Church Sreet".He thought the church was in that street.He walked along the street.An old woman was there.Jamie said " Er, can I help you ?", andthe woman said " Of course ! Let's go inside". Jamie went into a room and the woman told him to wait there. The room looked like a child's bedroom. Then he saw a photograph with only hills, fields, a few trees, a white gate and a path. Jamie asked her where is the church. She gave him a map. The word 'church' was written at the end of the path. He got out of the house and followedthe path to the church according to the map. But he couldn't see anything like a church. "This map is wrong !", he thought. But he recognized where he was. Was the same scene as in the photograph. And suddenly he turned around and someone came out of the trees and took a photograph of him. Jamie recognized the photographer's face ! It was the old woman of Church Street. He got back to the pub. Ted, the landlord was behind the bar, and they started to talk. Jamie told Ted the strange experience with the woman. Ted told him that he wasn't the first who couldn't find the church and that street wasn't Church Street at all. That was Churchill Street and someone keeps covering the last letters. Ted told him the woman is called Mary Walgrave, and she has lived alone for more than 40 years. Jamie asked about the child's bedroom. Ted said that Mary's son died and gave him an old newspaper with the news about Laurence's death ( Laurence is the child ). The next mornig Jamie remembered the sad story of Mary, he felt sorry and went to her house to say goodbye. He entered in Laurence's bedroom and it was full of light, that he could see five photographs of the hills with one boy in each one. Was diferent boys with diferent ages, one older than the other, and the oldest was Jamie. The photographs told the story. Mary looks at the wall and see a boy getting older where her real son had died. Jamie got out of the room and saw Mary sleeping, then he left a photo of him as a child to leave Mary with a happier memory

The Music of the Forest - Luíza

It was a wearm evening in September 1951.An American couple,Larry and June Adams, were sitting on the patio of the Simla Forest Hotel in northern India.There were tall, thin trees around the edge of the patio. A line of paper lanterns hung from the trees. By the light of these lanterns a man sat playing the piano. His name was Mr. Lal. He was the owner of the hotel and he liked to play to his guests in the evening. Most of them enjoyed Mr. Lal's Music, except Larry Adams. Infact, Larry was in India because he wanted to kill a tiger. And he left the hotel every day with his gun and went into the forest. But now he felt angry and bored, and Mr. Lal's strange music was making him nervous.

Larry and June sat down in the that to around the piano. Mr Lal smiled at his guests and continued playing. [...]
After a wile, he stopped playing, and looked Larry. Larry wanted to look away but he couldn't. He was held by the power of Mr Lal's dark brow eyes. He felt their mysterious energy burning into him like red fire. Mr. Lal started to talk with him, but he ignored everything he said. Larry decided to bed.
Later, June went to talk with Mr. Lal. They talked very much about the attitude of Larry. Until he asked to see her drawings. He adored ! June sayed that he could stay with those drawings. He accepted.

June Adams did sleep well that night. But Larry did not. He had terrible dreams. At three o'clock in the morning he woke up. Their bedroom was above the patio. The window was open. He Could hear the sounds of the forest outside. He closed his eyes, but that didn't help. He imagined the animals pulling him through the darks, singing trees. He closed the door of the bathroom. The sounds were quieter and he begam to fell better.

At nine o'clock the next morning Mrs Adams was standing on the patio with Mr Lal. She was saying goodbye. June was happy because Larry was beginning to show interest on other things. Mr Lal looked up at the lanterns hanging from the trees above his head. June looked up too. And there one fixed to the outside of each lantern. She imagined their shadown at night, thrown by the light of the lanterns.

Kelly Clarckson - Breakaway

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8MvNJgm2jI

Grew up in a small town

And when the rain would fall down

I'd just stare out my window

Dreamin' of what could be

And if I'd end up happyI would pray

Trying hard to reach outBut, when I tried to speak out

Felt like no one could hear me

Wanted to belong here

But something felt so wrong here

So I'd prayI could break away

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly

I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky

And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change

And break away

Out of the darkness and into the sun

But, I won't forget all the ones that I love

I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change

And break away

Wanna feel the warm breeze

Sleep under a palm tree

Feel the rush of the ocean

Get onboard a fast train

Travel on a jetplane, far away

And break away

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly

I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky

And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change

And break away

Out of the darkness and into the sun

I won't forget all the ones that I love

I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change

And break away

Buildings with a hundred floors

Swinging round revolving doors

Maybe I don't know where they'll take me

But, gotta keep moving on, moving on

Fly away, break away

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly

Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye, gotta

Take a risk, take a chance, make a change

And break away

Out of the darkness and into the sun

But, I won't forget the place I come from

I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change

And break away

Jonas Brothers -> S.O.S



Lyrics:

I told you I made dinner plans
For you and me and no one else
That don't include your crazy friends
Well I'm done with awkward situations
Empty conversations


CHORUS
Oooo, this is an SOS
Don't wanna second guess
This is the bottom line
It's true
I gave my all for you
Now my heart's in two
And I can't find the other half
It's like I'm walkin' on broken glass
Better believe I bled
It's a call I'll never get


So this is where the story ends
A conversation on IM
Well I'm done with texting
Sorry for the miscommunication


CHORUS
Oooo, this is an SOS
Don't wanna second guess
This is the bottom line
It's true
I gave my all for you
Now my heart's in two
And I can't find the other half
It's like I'm walkin' on broken glass
Better believe I bled
It's a call I'll never get


Next time I see you
Giving you a high five
Cause hugs are overrated
Just FYI
Oooo, this is an SOS
Don't wanna second guess
This is the bottom line
It's true
I gave my all for you
Now my heart's in two
Yeah


CHORUS
Oooo, this is an SOS
Don't wanna second guess
This is the bottom line
It's true
I gave my all for you
Now my heart's in two
And I can't find the other half
It's like I'm walkin' on broken glass
Better believe I bled
It's a call I'll never get
Call I'll never get
Call I'll never get

lyrics:

I need you boo
I gotta see you boo
And there's hearts all over the world tonight
Said there's hearts all over the world tonight
I need you boo
I gotta see you boo
And there's hearts all over the world tonight
Said there's hearts all over the world tonight

Hey lil mama, ooh you're a stunner
Hot little figure, yes you a winner, and
I'm so glad to be yours
You're a class of your own and
Ooh little cutie, when you talk to me
I swear the whole world stops
You're my sweetheart and
I'm so glad that you're mine
You are one of a kind, and
You mean to me what I mean to you
And together baby there is nothing we won't do

'Cause if I got you
I don't need money
I don't need cars
Girl you're my heart

And oh, I'm into you and
Girl no one else would do
With every kiss and every hug
You make me fall in love
And now I know I can't be the only one
I bet there's hearts all over the world tonight
With the love of their life who feel
What I feel when I'm with you, with you, with you, with you, with you... girl
With you, with you, with you, with you, with you... Oh girl

I don't want nobody else
Without you there's noone left, and
You're like Jordans on Saturday
I gotta have you and I cannot wait now
Hey lil shorty, say you care for me
You know I care for you
You know that I will be true
You know that I won't lie
You know that I will try
Be your everything

'Cause if I got you
I don't need money
I don't need cars
Girl you're my heart

Oh, I'm into you and
Girl no one else would do
With every kiss and every hug
You make me fall in love
And now I know I can't be the only one
I bet there's hearts all over the world tonight
With the love of their life who feel
What I feel when I'm with you, with you, with you, with you, with you... ohhh
With you, with you, with you, with you, with you... Yeah

And I will never try
To deny that you are my whole life
'Cause if you ever let me go
I would die so I won't run
I don't need another woman
I just need you or nothing
'Cause if I got that
Then I'll be straight
Baby you're the best part of my day

I need you boo
I gotta see you boo
And there's hearts all over the world tonight
Said there's hearts all over the world tonight
They need their boo
They gotta see their boo
Said there's hearts all over the world tonight
Hearts all over the world tonight
And oh, I'm into you and
Girl no one else would do
With every kiss and every hug
You make me fall in love
And now I know I can't be the only one
I bet there's hearts all over the world tonight

With the love of their life who feel
What I feel when I'm with you, with you, with you, with you, with you... ohhh(girl)
With you, with you, with you, with you, with you... ohhh
With you, with you, with you, with you, with you...
With you, with you, with you, with you, with you... Baby yeah
