Revised Poem. "I Still Wonder"

I Still Wonder….Revised
By: Tim Brown

Some days I wonder
I wonder, Should I give up,
Did I blunder?
Have I done enough, I wonder
Just wonder, Should I put it all under?

When I’m on stage, the adrenaline rushes through me,
Like a blistering wind on a cold winter day.
I work my hardest to fill my dreams,
But what am I missing, to be on my way?

Time never waits for me, time won’t wait for me
Why won’t it wait for me, time never waits for me
Time won’t wait for me, why won’t it wait for me

Some days I wonder
I wonder, Should I give up,
Did I blunder?
Have I done enough, I wonder
Just wonder, Should I put it all under?

I want to see my name on signs,
Reflecting off the metallic blue steal guitar.
A sea of people, surrounding me around the stage.
An ocean of nameless eyes, I can sparkle in their eyes
They’re up one by one, I’m watching people rise.

Time never waits for me, time won’t wait for me
Why won’t it wait for me, time never waits for me
Time won’t wait for me, why won’t it wait for me

I want to make it big, and have a good life,
See my dreams come true,
Have a family and a wife
But I still wonder, I still wonder…

Graduation

I cannot believe that graduation is almost here. Coming into high school I thought to myself, "I can't wait to graduate, but it is going to come so slow". Well I was totally wrong, I still say that I can't wait to graduate, but I am starting to realize I will truly miss high school.

Plagiarism

1. An example of truly plagariarized song that I found was "Do It" by Timbaland. People say that “Do It” is just like the song “Loose” by Nelly Furtado. The artist Timbaland was interviewed on a show called Elliot in the Morning. During the interview Timbaland says that he was playing around and sampling different songs. Also he doesn’t think that sampling is stealing, he thinks that people are making a big deal out of this. He says that people use samples from other artists all the time.

2. I do not believe that the group Coldplay's "Viva La Vida" is an example of plagiarism. The song sounds like Joe Satriani's "If I Could Fly" which was an instrumental piece. I do not believe it was plagiarism because, when I hear the instrumental piece and then “Viva La Vida”, I hear some similarities in the chorus but not enough to think it is plagiarism. The whole song differs from “If I could Fly”, enough to make me believe that it is not plagiarism.
