The bullets We never learn, we been here before Why are we always stuck and running from The bullets? The bullets Just stop your crying It's a sign of the times We gotta get away from here We gotta get away from here Just stop your crying It'll be alright They told me that the end is near We gotta get away from here Just stop your crying Have the time of your life Breaking through the atmosphere And things are pretty good from here Remember everything will be alright We can meet again somewhere Somewhere far away from here We never learn, we been here before Why are we always stuck and running from The bullets? The bullets We never learn, we been here before Why are we always stuck and running from The bullets? The bullets Just stop your crying It's a sign of the times We gotta get away from here We gotta get away from here Stop your crying Baby, it'll be alright They told me that the end is near We gotta get away from here We never learn, we been here before Why are we always stuck and running from The bullets? The bullets We never learn, we been here before Why are we always stuck and running from The bullets? The bullets We don't talk enough We should open up Before it's all too much Will we ever learn? We've been here before It's just what we know Stop your crying, baby It's a sign of the times We gotta get away We got to get away We got to get away We got to get away We got to get away We got to, we got to, away We got to, we got to, away We got to, we got to, away Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Alex Raymond Salibian / Harry Edward Styles / Jeffrey Nath Bhasker / Mitchell Kristopher Rowland / Ryan Thomas Nasci / Tyler Sam Johnson Sign of the Times lyrics © Peermusic Publishing, Universal Music Publishing Group, BMG Rights Management, Concord Music Edited August 28, 2021 by rodheadlee Link to comment

So it doesn't display it. If you put the full YouTube link in your post, then the board software will go out to YouTube to retrieve the video for embedding. The full YouTube link for the shortened version is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GGZ-WGYBNo In order to get it to NOT embed so it displayed as a link instead, I had to choose that right after it was inserted: Edited August 30, 2021 by Stargazer Link to comment

Stargazer Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Here's an interesting music video I stumbled upon today. The lyrics are in Japanese (I think), and I don't understand a word, but though the music is kind of conventional, it's nevertheless enjoyable. Link to comment

Korean writing or Hangul was created by the king (well, he ordered it at least, I watched a show that had him and a some worthies with some commoners create it themselves, great show, but not sure how accurate, if at all) in order to allow for greater literacy and allowing people to write their own histories. It was meant to take a couple of days (less than a day for someone smart and 10 days for someone rather slow in learning) to learn the letters and start writing instead of the eons to become fluent in Classical Chinese script or even English for that matter. The shape of the letters even have meaning, iirc some follow the shape the mouth makes when it makes the sound. Brilliant invention. I love the sound of Korean too. I use it for background to fall asleep at times. Edited December 4, 2021 by Calm 1 Link to comment

I use it for background to fall asleep at times. That's interesting, had no idea it was a king who came up with Hangul, even more interesting how some follow the shape the mouth makes with the sound. Hiragana/Katakana was similar although based off something else Chinese. Pretty much all E.Asian countries use the same Chinese origin characters, wherever Buddhism and Confucianism went so did education. It's very similar to one reason why Christianity took off in Europe, trade and learning. When another power has the wealth, learning plus all the other means of making your country a better place rulers with a brain have usually gone along with whatever the better off power wanted in exchange, E.Asia was no different in that regard. Not sure if you follow E.Asia politics much, that trade block China was behind earlier this year more or less closely during their imperial times. Afghanistan was a tributary of theirs as well, Kabul used to be one of the wealthiest cities when the silk road was a thing. Creating a writing system that shows you how to pronounce words is very clever, S.Korea is really starting to dominate in so many things, sports and technology among them. I really do think this will be the Asian century. Edited December 4, 2021 by poptart 1 Link to comment
