  • Creeper

    The oak was tall and strong,
    With green leaves and branches so long…
    He had grown in a beautiful garden,
    With few other oaks and a handsome warden…

    As time flowed and the future rolled…
    A cute little sapling entered the garden…
    The oak took care and nurtured the sapling,
    The bond grew strong under the oak’s wing,
    The sapling grew up and turned to be a creeper,
    Entwining a few trees into it deeper…

    As time flowed and the future rolled…
    The greenery was good and creeper was happy,
    And one fine day the oak was crappy,
    Untwine from the teak was the order,
    Teak is not oak and is one step shorter…
    Creeper had grown so thick in lush greenery,
    And teak was a part of its beautiful scenery,

    As time flowed and the future rolled…
    Teak tried to hold on to the creeper,
    For the entwining was so much deeper.
    Oak signaled the creeper about the warden,
    Creeper wondered, wasn’t Oak her warden…
    Oak loved warden, Oak loved the creeper,
    Creeper loved the Oak, Creeper loved the teak,

    In a attempt to entwine both oak and teak,
    The creeper lost its creeping streak….
    It fell down limply between the greenery,
    Never to creep again, never to build a scenery,
    Having lost its creeping streak, it became a bundle of limp fernery,

    The green started fading away and the creeper started withering away…..
    As was the norm the time flowed, but this time there was no future to roll…

    Going to Heaven! by Emily Dickinson

    Going to Heaven!
    I dont know when – –
    Pray do not ask me how!
    Indeed Im too astonished
    To think of answering you!
    Going to Heaven!
    How dim it sounds!
    And yet it will be done
    As sure as flocks go home at night
    Unto the Shepherds arm!

    Perhaps youre going too!
    Who knows?
    If you should get there first
    Save just a little space for me
    Close to the two I lost – –
    The smallest “Robe” will fit me
    And just a bit of “Crown” – –
    For you know we do not mind our dress
    When we are going home – –

    Im glad I dont believe it
    For it would stop my breath – –
    And Id like to look a little more
    At such a curious Earth!
    Im glad they did believe it
    Whom I have never found
    Since the might Autumn afternoon
    I left them in the ground.

    Loves Philosophy by Percy Bysshe Shelley

    The fountains mingle with the river
    And the rivers with the ocean,
    The winds of Heaven mix for ever
    With a sweet emotion;
    Nothing in the world is single,
    All things by a law divine
    In one spirit meet and mingle – Why not I with thine?

    See the mountains kiss high Heaven
    And the waves clasp one another;
    No sister-flower would be forgiven
    If it disdained its brother;
    And the sunlight clasps the earth,
    And the moonbeams kiss the sea – What are all these kissings worth
    If thou kiss not me?

    Elizabeth Barrett Browning

    Beloved, thou hast brought me many flowers
    Plucked in the garden, all the summer through
    And winter, and it seemed as if they grew
    In this close room, nor missed the sun and showers.
    So, in the like name of that love of ours,
    Take back these thoughts which here unfolded too,
    And which on warm and cold days I withdrew
    From my hearts ground. Indeed, those beds and bowers
    Be overgrown with bitter weeds and rue,
    And wait thy weeding; yet heres eglantine,
    Here s ivy!-take them, as I used to do
    Thy fowers, and keep them where they shall not pine.
    Instruct thine eyes to keep their colors true,
    And tell thy soul their roots are left in mine.

    Young and Old by Charles Kingsley

    When all the world is young, lad,
    And all the trees are green,
    And every goose a swan, lad,
    And every lass a queen;
    Then hey for boot and horse, lad,
    And round the world away,
    Young blood must hanve its course, lad,
    And every dog his day
    When all the world is old, lad,
    And the trees are brown;
    And all the sport is stale, lad,
    And all the wheels run down,
    Creep home, and take your place here,
    The speen and maimed among:
    God grant you find one face there,
    You loved when all was young

    Famous poems are in places all over the world. They can be found in books, on the internet and in many different other places.

  • Should You Get Your Mastering Done by a Professional?

    If you are reading this then hopefully the question of “Should I get my Sound Mastered” has been answered. If not, then this article will briefly discuss this issue. If you are asking this question to begin with, then your answer is more than likely “yes” . Mastering is just as important as your recording and mixing process. Here is a question? Your music is recorded, did you mix it yet? If yes, why? Is it because you wanted it to sound better? Well, what if I told you that the improvement you made from the recording to the mixing is the same type of improvement you will hear from the mixing to the mastering process. Yes, you heard it correct. Your sound will be so much harder and crisper you and your buddies will all be amazed.

    1. Now, you are convinced to get your music mastered, but the professional part has not been talked about.
    2. Well, let us discuss that issue right now.
    3. Let me paint a picture for you. You are 55 years old and worked on a great job all your life.
    4. You have 2 beautiful grown kids and 4 grandkids.
    5. You and your spouse are making a huge decision today about the rest of your lives.
    6. You are deciding to retire after 30 years service from your company.
    7. Now, your goal is to live off your 1 Million dollar nest egg you have built up over the past 30 years.
    8. That may seem like a lot of money, but consider the fact that you are used to living off of $60,000 per year.
    9. Being as smart as you are, you calculate the math and realize if you put that money in your bank or try to play the stock market, your savings may only last for 16 years.
    10. That means when you are 55 years young, you are out of money. Not to mention, inflation.
    11. So, is this picture clear enough for you? My question to you is, would you rather gamble with your life savings and be a do it yourself member in the market, or would you rather give this problem to a professional and have them fix it?
    12. Do you know anything about beta, dollar cost averaging, rebalancing?
    13. Can you see the importance of getting a professional?
    14. If you answered yes for a professional, then you are on the right track.
    15. If not, then best of luck in your musical journey.

    Think about your music in the same way. If you do not get it mastered by a professional and you are as serious about it as you think you are, then you are potentially flushing your money down the toilet. You are an artist and are probably good at what you do or you would not be reading this. Mastering engineers are just like you, good at what they do. They would not pick up an instrument and try to show you how to play your song. Their expertise is in the studio making your music sound even more hard and crispclear. Use them, that is what they do and that is what makes them so valuable. Have I made my point yet?

    Not many people are fortunate enough to have an audio engineer that can mix and master at the same time, but if you are, then a straight transfer might do fine. If not, you need to consider getting your audio mastered by a professional. Some facilities do their mastering in house and some studios have to send it off.

    Usually a lot can be done to improve the mixes. There is a huge demand in this market. Now, if youre reading this, then you are probably wanting your disc to be competitive in-store play, homes of consumers, and in radio markets, it has to be perfect sonically. Think of it like a brand new car -without a good wash and wax, few people will appreciate how great it looks. Also, since the mixes were recorded at different times of day over a week or more, you end up with differences in level and tone. Mastering creates a seamless whole out of a collection of individual tracks.

    The mastering studio has ultra-clean processors that are made to handle stereo signals. Obvious as this may be – it is one thing to run a guitar through a limiter and equalizer, and another thing to run your whole mix through it. A finished mix is an intense balance that can be made worse as easily as it can be improved. Its worth using the best equipment available.
