Alan Walker - Sing Me To Sleep

Faded
You were the shadow to my light 
Did you feel us 
Another Start 
You fade away 
Afraid our aim is out of sight 
Wanna see us 
Alive 

Where are you now 
Where are you now 
Where are you now 
Was it all in my fantasy 
Where are you now 
Were you only imaginary 
Where are you now 

Atlantis 
Under the sea 
Under the sea 
Where are you now 
Another dream 
The monsters running wild inside of me 

I'm faded 
I'm faded 
So lost 
I'm faded 
I'm faded 
So lost 
I'm faded 

These shallow waters, never met 
What i needed 
I'm letting go 
A deeper dive 
Eternal silence of the sea 
I'm breathing 
Alive 

Where are you now 
Where are you now 

Under the bright 
But faded lights 
You set my heart on fire 
Where are you now 
Where are you now 

Where are you now 
Atlantis Under the sea 
Under the sea 
Where are you now 
Another dream 
The monsters running wild inside of me 

I'm faded 
I'm faded 
So lost 
I'm faded 
I'm faded 
So lost 
I'm faded. 

Sing Me To Sleep
Wait a second, let me catch my breath
Remind me how it feels to hear your voice
Your lips are movin', I can't hear a thing
Livin' life as if we had a choice
Anywhere, any time
I would do anything for you
Anything for you
Yesterday got away
Melody stuck inside your head
A song in every breath

Sing me to sleep now
Sing me to sleep
So sing me to sleep now
Sing me to sleep

Remember me, no time cannot erase
I can hear your whispers in my mind
I've become what you cannot embrace
Our memory will be my lullaby

Sing me to sleep now
Sing me to sleep
Won't you sing me to sleep now?
Sing me to sleep

A-anytime
I would do
Time away
Yesterday-day
A-anytime
I would do
Time away
Yesterday-day

#6 Steve Jobs’ Talk

Steve Jobs’ talk (video)
Talk script (link)

5 good words/sentences learn  (use Oxford advanced learners’ dictionary)
1.curiosity(noun): [uncountable, singular] curiosity (about something) | curiosity (to do something) a strong desire to know about something - His answer did not satisfy my curiosity at all.
2.intuition(noun): [uncountable] the ability to know something by using your feelings rather than considering the facts - The answer came to me in a flash of intuition.

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.  常保飢渴求知，常存虛懷若愚。

How do you like his 3 life stories? 
Yes, I like his 3 life stories.

Can you relate them to any of your life experiences? 
or Does it inspire you in any way?
connecting the dots:
I believe the dots will somehow connect in future. Learning computer also requires design aesthetics, and we can find lots of inspiration in life. When you design, intuition will lead you and connect the dots together. Sometimes, you don't know what's the point of the things that you usually learn, but someday it will be very useful when it is needed.

love and loss:
I like this sentence and the meaning of the story is like:"Troubles came into the world, but we must not forget that Hope came with them."
In my high school, I attended a public high school and transferred to a private school two years. I have to retake another year of Senior High 3 because of my transfer and my same-age friends were all graduated earlier than I am, but because of my transfer that I learned a lot of computer skills and also took lots of certificates.

death:
Steve Jobs read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right."
I think just like me, a lot of people might not know how to face death, so we can learn from Steve Jobs' attitude: "asked myself: If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today? And whenever the answer has been No for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something."

To pay tribute to Steve Jobs. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

#5 English song

Something Wild - Lindsey Stirling ft. Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness (From Disney's Pete's Dragon)




Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You had your maps drawn
You had other plans
To hang your hopes on
Every road they let you down felt so wrong
So you found another way

You've got a big heart
The way you see the world
It got you this far
You might have some bruises
And a few of scars
But you know you're gonna be okay

[Pre-Chorus]
Even though you're scared
You're stronger than you know

[Chorus]
If you're lost out where the lights are blinding
Caught in all, the stars are hiding
That's when something wild calls you home, home
If you face the fear that keeps you frozen
Chase the sky into the ocean
That's when something wild calls you home, home

[Verse 2]
Sometimes the past can
Make the ground beneath you feel like a quicksand
You don't have to worry
You reach for my hand
And I know you're gonna be okay
You're gonna be okay

[Pre-Chorus]
Even though you're scared
You're stronger than you know

[Chorus]
If you're lost out where the lights are blinding
Caught in all, the stars are hiding
That's when something wild calls you home, home
If you face the fear that keeps you frozen
Chase the sky into the ocean
That's when something wild calls you home, home

[Bridge]
Calls you home
Calls you home
Calls you home
Calls you home

If you're lost out where the lights are blinding
Caught in all, the stars are hiding
That's when something wild calls you home...

[Chorus]
If you're lost out where the lights are blinding
Caught in all, the stars are hiding
That's when something wild calls you home, home
If you face the fear that keeps you frozen
Chase the sky into the ocean
That's when something wild calls you home, home

Why I like the song?
Lindsey Stirling is my favorite musician. She dances and plays violin at the same time, and it looks cool to me. Stirling performs a variety of music styles, from classical to pop and rock to electronic dance music. She let us know that violin can also perform rock songs.
Lindsey Stirling collaborated with Andrew McMahon for her new record and the movie Disney's Pete's Dragon. While Andrew McMahon has a great passion for singing and playing piano, Lindsey Stirling is also a very talented violinist. 
In the video, the two children met and play treasure hunt together. They are both very happy and immersed in fantasy during the process of treasure hunting. In the end, the boy painted a painting and gave it to the girl to commemorate their journey. Growing up, the girl took out the painting that the boy gave her and she missed him. Watching this video makes me feel touched. The lyrics of the song is also encouraging.
If you like Lindsey Stirling just like I do, you can look down more of her songs in the previous article on my blog. You'll see a few of her songs from her new album "Brave Enough". I briefly introduce different genres of Lindsey Stirling's songs below.
