This is evidenced by the fact that I still have the doll I was given the day I was born (yes her name is also Elizabeth, yes she was named after me) and my desk drawers that I stuff full with years-old birthday cards from my grandparents and now-wrinkled letters from friends. I keep these seemingly silly pieces of paper because they are a tangible reminder of the people I love. They give me a physical piece of the past to hold onto.

What brings me the most comfort amid the fast pace of life is music. I have always heavily associated songs with specific moments and people in my life, and when I listen to them again, I am reminded that no matter how much time has passed, I will still carry those memories with me.
DETROW: Johnny Cash's voice and his songs endure decades later, and 125 of the songs that Cash wrote are included in a new book put together by his son, John Carter Cash, along with Cash family historian Mark Stielper. I sat down with the pair recently to talk about the book and Johnny Cash's prolific songwriting.
JOHN CARTER CASH: Early in Dad's life, songwriting - not all of his songs but a lot of them were autobiographical. So it was a way for him to tell where he'd been, what he'd seen and his own life experience. With "Five Feet High And Rising," it's about a flood that occurred when he was a boy.
JOHN CARTER CASH: It was a song that was needed in his life. He was on the road, traveling all of a sudden, going from city to city, town to town. And it was a long ways away from his wife at home, Vivian. And so he wrote "I Walk The Line" as a direct communication to his wife. It was the truth of his life. And so it was a way of self-expression. It was a way of telling his own tale, you know? And, yeah, I mean, there were songs like "Big River," you know, where he put himself in the fantasy of the guy that's chasing the girl all the way down to the Gulf of Mexico.
DETROW: That - I'm so glad you said that because there's been so many Johnny Cash songs - while I hear it, and I think, oh, that's probably covering an old standard. You know, that song sounds like it's been around forever. And then you look it up. Nope. It's a song that he wrote himself, but he could still tap into those same themes that so many songs that have been around America forever tap into.
DETROW: It's one of the last songs he wrote, and I wanted to talk about it. But since you mentioned it right now, let's talk about it right now. Can both of you kind of tell me the backstory of "The Man Comes Around"? It's one of the last songs that he wrote. I will say, I think it's my favorite of his songs. What were the circumstances of putting that song down to paper?
JOHN CARTER CASH: Songs of Christian faith were everything to him because it was what he believed. And just as he walked into Sun Records and sang "Belshazzar," at the end of his life, it was most important to him that he have a gospel record released, even though he was having all these hits with Rick Rubin. And so the album came out posthumously. It's called "My Mother's Hymn Book." And so what's the most important song that he wrote? It was - I don't know, but it was the songs of faith, and it had to have been. That was his lifeblood.
Nowadays, listening music has been and will always be an indispensable part of our daily life. In recent years, sentiment analysis of music has been widely used in the information retrieval systems, personalized recommendation systems and so on. Due to the development of deep learning, this paper commits to find an effective approach for mood tagging of Chinese song lyrics. To achieve this goal, both machine-learning and deep-learning models have been studied and compared. Eventually, a CNN-based model with pre-trained word embedding has been demonstrated to effectively extract the distribution of emotional features of Chinese lyrics, with at least 15 percentage points higher than traditional machine-learning methods (i.e. TF-IDF+SVM and LIWC+SVM), and 7 percentage points higher than other deep-learning models (i.e. RNN, LSTM). In this paper, more than 160,000 lyrics corpus has been leveraged for pre-training word embedding for mood tagging boost.
This paper argues that the works of dissident Soviet bard Aleksandr Galich are best understood as folklore rather than literature, texts, or recordings. Since his songs were censored, live, person-to-person dissemination was crucial to their circulation. Unfortunately, though, the very underground, word-of-mouth mechanisms that allowed Galich to dodge censors has rendered historical record of his performative importance spotty.

During the 2020-2021 school year, UC Davis shifted to online learning for all students to protect them during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. This also led the Early Childhood Laboratory to drastically reduce preschool class size by more than half. To maintain active service of children and families, director Kelly Twibell-Sanchez and instructor Hannah Minter Anderson designed and implemented a remote learning program that was conducted via Zoom from Monday through Thursday for one hour per day for the duration of the school year. At the beginning of each week Individual Learning Kits were curated and sent home and, at the end of the week, kits were returned, cleaned, restocked and sent home with new materials. This remote program allowed families to access high quality curriculum for their children in the comfort and safety of their own home. Anderson thoughtfully created a daily sequence of events and a weekly curriculum that positively engaged children, and required minimal adult support. The remote learning programs proved to be a success. As such, the Early Childhood Laboratory continues to offer virtual parent/family caregiver and child playgroups on Fridays.
The following structure is used for a one hour remote session, and includes the reasoning behind why we implement the curriculum in this way and what we hope to achieve. Curriculum is repeated across all four days, building upon children's emergent skills and promoting a deeper understanding of songs and materials.
Many may be able to recall singing songs and playing games that educators still use regularly. This entry will outline some of the activities we used during our remote learning programs and what skills we hope to practice in a fun and low-stakes way.
It is also extremely important to be aware of the diversity within your classroom community and support these emergent English learners. If possible, use a dedicated breakout group with curriculum adjusted to be accessible to these children. Partner with families to learn words from the unit in their home languages. This will clearly demonstrate the connection between the words. Using props along with songs will make curriculum concepts more concrete.
In this paper, the author reports on how he acted as a therapist for a youngster who, despite conserving some ability for interpersonal interaction, preferred to spend time alone observing through his window the flow of the passing people and to isolate himself in his room peeping at an album of pictures while seeking for healing in music. The author wants to report on how withdrawn youngsters that found lyrics that embrace them, these lyrics can serve as a means to "let their voices out first" and "speak" later on.
During the interview with the mother, it was concluded that forcing Y to face directly his current withdrawal situation would only bring about additional anxiety on him and would be eventually detrimental to the therapy goals. It was also decided that during the first home visit, the author would not push Y too hard concerning the purposes of the therapy and treatment. This author believed that Y probably felt isolated from his generational peers and therefore decided to use musical therapy, with songs that belong to the culture of his generation, to try to reconnect Y to his generational peers.
After coming to a counseling session, Y joined a group of withdrawn youngsters; he felt puzzled at the big number of juvenile topics discussed. However, when our staff of his same generation started speaking about popular movies, fashion and music, Y replied with a small voice: "I know that, I know that." Next, the staff requested Y to help them with typing work on a personal computer of some announcements for juvenile activities; this activity enabled the involvement of Y in further group conversation. The participants in the group, decided to share their respective background in a miscellany written common document, which led to Y's development of written expression. The author frequently visited the "music therapy group" for withdrawn youngsters that Y was also attending and where Y timidly started to talk about the songs. Y also made his first appearance at "karaoke show " and when he came across a song he liked, "Innocent world" of the group "Mr. Children," he started to mutter the lyrics of the song with his lips. The key to this success was that in spite of feeling uncomfortable, Y made a great effort and was able to force his voice out. Later, the author also used other songs like the Beatles' "Across the Universe" as a means of establishing rapport with Y. In the end, with a great involvement of Y, the music therapy group composed two songs about their prior withdrawal experience.
