"The term sound can denote the physical phenomenon of vibrations that set into motion longitudinal waves of compression and rarefaction propagated through molecular structures such as gas liquids, and solids; the physiological phenomenon that stimulates the sense of hearing; or the psychophysical perception of sound stimuli."
"Sound begins when an object vibrates and sets into motion molecules in the air closest to it. These molecules pass on energy to adjacent molecules, starting a reaction-a sound wave-which is much like the waves that result when a stone is dropped in a pool. The transfer of momentum from one displaced molecule to the next propagates the original vibrations longitudinally from the vibrating object to the hearer. What makes this reaction possible is air or more precise, a molecular medium with the property of elasticity. Elasticity is the phenomenon in which a displaced molecule tends to pull back to its original position after its initial momentum has caused it to displace nearby molecules."

Little Birdie
What makes you think you can sing?
Is that shrill little noise
Really making all the boys
Think you’re really just the greatest bird around
Little Birdie
What makes you think you can fly?
When you spread your wings up there
Will you stay up in the air?
Or will you crash and burn like all the others think
But they don’t care
They just came here for a show
You are such a pretty bird, but it’s such a petty word
Filled with emptiness and nothing left to share
Little Birdie
What makes you think you can mate?
Do you really think your looks
Put you at the top of books
In the the list of birds desirable to love
Little Birdie
You know you're such a pretty bird
But you think you’re so much more
And that makes you such a bore
Wait till you step out your nest and see the truth
Cause they don’t care
To them you’re just another bird
And though you look as though you’re fine
You are dying deep inside
But no one knows or really cares just how you feel
But I know the truth about you
And I want to try to understand
And there are times when I wish to make you see
But when you say those empty words
Who to the friends of yours it hurts
You make me feel as though it’s all your own design
Cause I don’t care
To me you’re just a fading light
And when that candle gets the snuff
It will finally be enough
And you will leave us all alone and in our peace of mind
And it’s not fair
The others look as though they know
And even though their words are empty
I wish they were directed at me
Cause I get nothing, which is even emptier still

You can criticize me
And tell me I’m all wrong
And you can just ignore me
But you can’t shut me down
And you can try and tell me
That I’m wasting your time
But I know that you’re all wrong
You just want me to fall, so just get
Off of my back, off of my case, out of my side
Over yourself, over your funk, out of my face
And I
I won’t believe your lies
The ones you use to hide
The prize I know is mine
And you
You may not understand
But I don’t care
Get out of my way
Out of my sight
Out of life
I know I have to try
Now I know there’s a big world
Of those who think I’m nothing
You think you know the answers?
Well, let me tell you something
You have spent your whole life
Wishing you were more, so don’t you
Say what I want, say what I need
I’ll say what I please
And I
I won’t believe your lies
The ones you use to hide
The prize I know is mine
And you
You may not understand
But I don’t care
Get out of my way
Out of my sight
Out of life
I know I have to try

Stall

If I could see my reflection (in your eyes)
Cure my misdirection (in your eyes)
Yet they’re averted from my gaze
The message lost
Tell me what it is you want now (no more lies)
No more hinting at your point how (no more lies)
I know your messages, but how much do you believe them?
Do you see this like I do?
Cause all we do is try to stall
And every time we walk in circles trying not to fall
Spinning round to find out where it ends
Oh, why must we pretend?
It’s floating to the surface slow (in your eyes)
All the feelings I'm afraid to show (in your eyes)
Yet denial twists the message, crumpling up the paper
And it’s gone
I’ve nothing left to prove to you (no more lies)
Blind to all that I have tried to do (no more lies)
Wasting time on words that fail to reach your ears
Yet I’m still talking now, and you don’t hear a word
All my pain is shoved between the cracks
I know that I should run, but I know that I’d look back
Glances words and forms
Churning in the storm
Yet the bitter taste, it keeps me sober now
Words well up inside my heart
Burst the seams and tear apart
Scream inside me asking why
“Why won’t these words just hang and die?”
Cause all I do is try to stall
And every time I walk in circles trying not to fall
Tripping over messages we send
Oh, why must we pretend?

Jackson May Exton, Pennsylvania
Basically, I've been into music for as long as I can remember. I've been singing for my entire life, played piano since I was 9 years old, and been playing guitar since I was 15. I love all kinds of music, and love to play all different kinds of music too. I write original songs, as well as do an occasional cover. ... more
