"Breakdancing, also called breaking or b-boying/b-girling, is an athletic style of street dance from the United States. While diverse in the amount of variations available in the dance, breakdancing mainly consists of four kinds of movement: toprock, downrock, bottom Rockers thus, floor Rock power moves and freezes. Breakdancing is typically set to songs containing an old tribal drum breaks, as we know in social science. Which had evolved into a new genre called hip-hop, by 1982, with funk and soul music influence from the 1960's and the breakbeat part of the records. Such as James Brown Sex Machine (album) and Michael Viner project done in the 1972 Incredible Bongo Band. Displays this type of drum percussion break beat music, although modern trends. Allow for much wider varieties of music with the introduction to rappers and EMCEE's along certain ranges of tempo and drum beat patterns.

In one of many visits to Beaubourg "museum" I stood in front of a Picasso's painting and it was like being transported to someplace else. I don't remember the painting. It's difficult to describe the feeling when in front of certain art works something happens that prevents any judgement, any critic, any thought. Time standstills, I feel mesmerized, the space surrounding me disappears and there's only me, the painting and this incredible feeling of wander. This is one of the numerous ways I appreciate art. I'll try to talk about the others. This is the first one
It is human, all too human. Sometimes we fall apart and when we fear we are falling apart we have already fallen. There is no comfortable place, people don''t understand as if they forgot their fallen periods. When we fall it is like it never happened before. There is strength deep inside but we can't reach it. We are fearing something that has already happened. Time, we need time, patience. We need to accept the grief. Grief, grief... That will also pass.

I know that you must not pay too much attention to this song. As it is not part of my culture I have a different relationship with it for I didn't hear it as a lullaby. One of the perks of not having English as a mother tongue. It is sweet for me.
This song was uploaded on 19 Nov 2009. Today it reached 6,765,284 views.
Billboard ranked it as the No. 52 song for 1972.
Even though it was written by David Gates to his father that passed away people thought it was dedicated to a broken relationship.
It is interesting to read the comments on Youtube and how this lyrics affects people today. I ask myself how much people are willing to give to have a loved one back nowadays.
Everything I Own
Bread 1972
You sheltered me from harm.
Kept me warm, kept me warm.
You gave my life to me.
Set me free, set me free.
The finest years I ever knew,
Were all the years I had with you.
And I would give anything I own.
I'd give up my life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own,
Just to have you back again.
You taught me how to laugh.
What a time, what a time.
You never said too much,
But still you showed the way
And I knew from watching you.
Nobody else could ever know,
The part of me that can't let go.
And I would give anything I own,
I'd give up my life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own,
Just to have you back again.
Is there someone you know,
Your loving them so,
But taking them all for granted?
You may lose them one day.
Someone takes them away,
And they don't hear the words you long to say.
I would give anything I own,
I'd give up my life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own,
Just to have you back again;
Just to touch you once again.
