SONG

A Thousand Years 

"Christina Perri"

Lyrics :

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt, suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died everyday, waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything, take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath, every hour has come to this

One step closer

I have died everyday, waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed, I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

I have died everyday, waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed, I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Message of The Song for Us

Of course, the song reflects solely the singer's feeling. It doesn't try to persuade the listeners to do the same. However, as critical persons we should learn something from the song. Well, as you may know, on message clearly seen in the lyric is that hiding our feeling, especially admiration and love, to those we love or like much will not result anything but the feeling of tortured. It's much better for us just to tell our feeling to those we adore. It doesn't matter how they would respond. I know if they respond negatively to our opennes, we will badly hurt. But, one thing you should remember, the hurt caused by the opennes of our feeling to someone will last much shorter that the one caused by our decision to hide it form him/her. So, tell me you love me if you really love me.

Amazing Structure in The World

National Centre for the Performing Arts (China)






The National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA)  is an arts centre containing an opera house in Beijing, People's Republic of China. The location in 2 W Chang'an Ave, Xicheng, Beijing, China. The Centre, an ellepsoid dome of titanium and glass surrounded by an artificial lake, seats 5,452 people in three halls and is almost 12,000 m² in size. It was designed by French architect Paul Andreu. Construction started in December 2001 and the inaugural concert was held in December 2007.

Architecture 

The exterior of the theater is a titanitum-accented glass dome that is completely surrounded by a man-made lake. It was designed as an iconic feature, something that would be immediately recognizable.

The dome measures 212 meters in east–west direction, 144 meters in north–south direction, and is 46 meters high. The main entrance is at the north side.


The Opera HouseThe magnificent Opera House is mainly used to stage operas, dance dramas, ballets, and large-scale shows. The arc-shaped metal net wall of the auditorium changes the lights and shadows according to different circumstance to bring the audience into the immersed artistic space with the development of plots. The surface of the ballet stage is made of Oregon timber and its triple-layer construction ensures the greatest possible resilience, helping to protect the feet of dancers. The Opera House can seat 2,416 people.





The Concert Hall
Exuding an air of serenity and refinement, the silver white Concert Hall is the venue for mainly large symphonic and national music performances. The audience can enjoy all performances from any angle. The Concert Hall is home to a giant pipe organ, the “Hall Guardian”, which is believed to be the largest of its kind in China with94 stops and an impressive array of 6,500 pipes. The over-100-ton white ceiling of the Concert Hall is specially designed to embody an ideal integration between architectural and acoustic aesthetics. The Concert Hall seats2,017 people.


Location
The location, immediately to the west of Tiananmen Square and the Great Hall of the People, and near the Forbidden City, combined with the theatre's futuristic design, created considerable controversy.Paul Andreu countered that although there is indeed value in ancient traditional Chinese architecture, Beijing must also include modern architecture, as the capital of the country and an international city of great importance. His design, with large open space, water, trees, was specially designed to complement the red walls of ancient buildings and the Great Hall of the People, in order to melt into the surroundings as opposed to standing out against them.
