Pink Floyd (by Raul)

Pink Floyd is an English rock band from Cambridge. The band initially earned recognition for their psychedelic and space rock music, and, as they evolved, for their progressive rock music. Pink Floyd was known for philosophical lyrics, sonic experimentation, innovative album cover art, and elaborate live shows. One of rock music's most successful acts, the group have sold over 200 million albums worldwide including 74.5 million albums in the United States alone. Pink Floyd influenced progressive rock artists of the 1970s such as Genesis and Yes; and contemporary artists such as Nine Inch Nails and Dream Theater.

Discography: Pink Floyd has 12 studio albums, 3 live albums, 10 compilation albums & 4 video Albums.

One of my favorite songs from Pink Floyd is called “Learning To Fly” its from 1987 & is considered one of pink Floyd’s best songs after Roger Waters departure from the band. It’s from the album “A Momentary Lapse of Reason” It’s really good & hope you enjoy it.

P!NK (Jose Maria)
P!nk is a female singer born in 1979. Her real name is Alecia Moore. Her music style is pop, pop-rock, punk pop and dance pop. She rose to fame when she was featured along with Mya, Lil Kim and Christina Aguilera in the hit song Lady Marmalade. But her 1st solo number 1 in the United States was her song So What which reached the top position in September 2008. I like her music a lot and i think she is a good singer and has some very good songs. What I like about her is that she isn't the typical sexy fake blond singer. Some of her best songs are So What, Stupid Girls which criticizes material people and Get the party Started which has a Dance-Funk Feel. Her upcoming album is called Funhouse and will be released on October 29 (The same day of my birthday!!). Discography:
*Cant Take Me Home (2000)
*M!ssundaztood (2001)
*Try This (2003)

Poem (by Raul)

Odium

Indeed

What an appealing
event has occurred

I’ve seen my fear once again

Always trying to evade it

Never really succeeding

It always seems to find a way

Even in the most ridiculous

Of case

It always bothered me

Even in my childhood

It skulk around every event

Since I can remember

I have escaped from it

Its beams outsmarting me

Most inhabitants like it

Occasionally they adore it

Even worships

I have seen done to him

BOOM. (By Jose Maria)

Oh Gosh.
I didn’t mean to
Like an alarm,
Or a threatening sound
The celebration stopped.

I couldn’t help it
I didn’t see it
It just appeared
So I stepped on it.

This colorful ball,
The laughs and emotions
Faded along with the fun.

The kids stopped playing,
The adults stopped talking,
No more games, no more fun
Just silence and bad thoughts

This is ridiculous
This isn’t good
All this trouble
For bursting a balloon.
