Final Connected Whispers

Have a timely talk with loved ones.




Sufjan Stevens, "Fourth Of July" (Official Audio)

The evil, it spread like a fever ahead 
It was night when you died, my firefly 
What could I have said to 
raise you from the dead? 
Oh, could I be the sky on the Fourth of July? 
"Well, you do enough talk My little hawk, 
why do you cry? 
Tell me, what did you learn from 
the Tillamook burn? 
Or the Fourth of July? 
We’re all gonna die." 
Sitting at the bed with the halo at your head 
Was it all a disguise, like Junior High? 
Where everything was fiction, future, 
and prediction 
Now, where am I? My fading supply 
"Did you get enough love, my little dove? 
Why do you cry? 
And I’m sorry I left, 
but it was for the best 
Though it never felt right My little Versailles." 
The hospital asked should the body be cast 
Before I say goodbye, my star in the sky 
Such a funny thought to 
wrap you up in cloth 
Do you find it all right, my dragonfly? "
Shall we look at the moon, my little loon? 
Why do you cry? Make the most of your life, 
while it is rife 
While it is light 
Well, you do enough talk My little hawk, 
why do you cry? 
Tell me, what did you learn from 
the Tillamook burn? 
Or the Fourth of July? 
We’re all gonna die." 

We're all gonna die
We're all gonna die
We're all gonna die
We're all gonna die
We're all gonna die
We're all gonna die
We're all gonna die

Embrace What You Feel

Be yourself in these chaotic times,
and when love is not easy.

Passenger - 
The Way That I Love You (Official Video)



How many times 
can I tell you 
You’re lovely just the way you are 
Don’t let the world come 
and change you 
Don’t let life break your heart 
Don’t put on their mask 
Don’t wear their disguise 
Don’t let them dim the light that 
shines in your eyes 
If only you could love yourself 
the way that I love you 
How many times can I say 
You don’t have to change a thing 
Don’t let the tide 
wash you away 
Don’t let worry ever clip your wings 
Discard what is fake 
Keep what is real 
Pursue what you love 
Embrace how you feel 
If only you could love yourself 
the way that I love you 
And if you ever choose a road that 
leads nowhere 
All alone and 
you can’t see right from wrong 
And if you ever lose yourself out there 
Come on home and 
I’ll sing you this song 
So how many times can I tell you 
You’re lovely just the way you are 
Don’t let the world 
come and change you 
Don’t let life break your heart

A Dialogue About Life Between Two Cherry Blossoms

One cherry blossom petal said to another,

"When I fall, I hope I can fall on the moon!"

"Why do you want to fall on the moon?"

"I want to live a little longer!"

"How can you live longer on the moon?"

"The moon's gravity is one-sixth that of Earth's, 

so I can fall a few seconds more slowly..."





兩片櫻花瓣有關生命的對談

某一櫻花瓣對另一櫻花瓣說,

“當我要下落,我希望我能下落在月球上!”

“你為什麼想下落在月球上?”

“我想活得長久一點!”

“在月球上你怎樣能活得長久一點?”

“月亮的地心吸力是地球的六分之一,
這樣我就可以下落得慢多幾秒......”

Life with doubt

Life is a difficult book to read. 
Many words, paragraphs, 
and meanings between the lines are 
hard to understand. 
You can ask AI, Google search, 
or on-line dictionaries 
for answers in any areas of doubt. 
But some answers can only be found 
through an inner search from 
concrete living experiences throughout life.

Emilio Piano ft. Lucie - Maison

Where do we go? 
When we have no home to return to? 
Flowers beneath concrete, 
Mother, Tell me, Where do we go? 
Do we ever truly know? 
Or are we always pretending? 
Where does the heart wander when it's lost? 
Through doubts and winter frost? 
Why do all days blend into one another? 
Do we eventually see what we've been building? Mother, tell me. 
Beyond The storm, 
there lies Love, love, love, 
When the sky opens, 
Everything grows calm again 
And all is well. 
Where does it go? 
Happiness, that fragile thread, 
When it wavers and breaks? 
Mother, tell me, Where does it go? 
Why does the world seem so vast, 
When we grow just a little taller than before? 
What becomes of dreams that flee? 
And memories we forget? 
Will I always have these questions? 
Perhaps I'll turn them into songs. 
Mother, tell me. 
Beyond The storm, 
there lies Love, love, love, 
When the sky opens, 
Everything grows calm again 
And all is well.

Leave or Stay

Different people choose 
different ways of living 
based on their unique 
personalities and characters, 
even when faced with 
the same environment and circumstances.

No one can definitively say 
who is right or wrong, 
or who is better or worse, 
as these choices stem from 
personal experiences and values.

Each choice represents 
how a person deals with his fate, 
and his fate is also unique and 
will not be the same as
 anyone else's.

Start VS Stop

For some cases, 
it is not difficult to 
find the right time to start, 
but it is not always quite easy to 
find the right time to stop.
 



Elton John - Someone saved my life tonight

When I think of those east end lights
Muggy nights the curtains drawn
In the little room downstairs
Prima donna Lord you really should have been there
Sittin' like a princess perched in her electric chair
And it's one more beer and I don't hear you anymore
We've all gone crazy lately
My friend's out there rolling 'round the basement floor
(ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...)
And someone saved my life tonight
Sugar bear (sugar bear...)
You almost had your hooks in me
Didn't you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar bound hypnotized sweet freedom
Whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away
High away
Bye bye
(ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...)
Never realized the passing hours of evening showers
Slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams
I'm strangled by your haunted social scene
Just a pawn outplayed by a dominating queen
It's four o'clock in the morning
Damn it listen to me good
I'm sleeping with myself tonight
Saved in time
Thank God my music is still alive
(aah-aah-aah-aah-aah...)
And someone saved my life tonight
Sugar bear
(sugar bear sugar bear...)
You almost had your hooks in me
Didn't you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar bound hypnotized sweet freedom
Whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away
High away
Bye bye
(ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
I would have walked head on into the deep end of the river
Clinging to your stocks and bonds
Paying your H.P. demands forever
Coming in the morning with a truck to take me home
Someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
So save your strength and run the field you play alone
And someone saved my life tonight
Sugar bear
(sugar bear sugar bear)
(sugar bear...)
You almost had your hooks in me
Didn't you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar bound
Hypnotized
Sweet freedom
Whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away
High away
Bye bye

Come Down In Time

Time goes by fast.

we should take any

available opportunity

to get what we want,

such as love, money, or both!

Time will steal from you

what you are pursuing

 if you fail to get them in time.







Elton John - Come Down In Time

In the quiet silent seconds 
I turned off the light switch
And I came down to meet you 
In the half light the moon left
While a cluster of night jars 
Sang some songs out of tune
A mantle of bright light s
Shone down from a room
Come down in time I still hear her say
So clear in my ear like it was today
Come down in time was the message 
she gave to me
Come down in time and 
I'll meet you half way
Well I don't know if I should have heard her as yet
But a true love like hers is a hard love to get
And I've walked most all the way and 
I ain't heard her call
And I'm getting to thinking if 
she's coming at all
Come down in time 
I still hear her say
So clear in my ear like it was today
Come down in time was the message 
she gave to me
Come down in time and 
I'll meet you half way
There are women and women and 
some hold you tight
While some leave you counting the stars in the night
