Coz every time I ran, I ran to you
I meant it every time I said I loved you
I kiss the thought of you and I
I still regret the day that we said goodbye
And do you think of me at night?
I still wish we could have made it right
But we can't say that we never tried
I guess everything seems more clear
Here on the other side

Coz every time I ran, I ran to you
I meant it every time I said I loved you
I kiss the thought of you and I
I still regret the day that we said goodbye
And do you think of me at night?
I still wish we could have made it right
You can't say that I never tried
You can't say that I never tried

>>ANDREW: The musicians stay in sync by following tempo rhythm just like your heartbeat. If you're sitting still beat at a regular pulse most music is written to carry along at a consistent and steady pace and they usually will be one musician or several musicians whose job it is to keep the tempo.

>>ANDREW: Pick an instrument at random that appeals to you. Look through a book or pictures of some sort of all the instruments watch people play them on videos. And the one that jumps out at you that's the one you should go with. You have to follow those feelings inside of you. That Say this does something to me. This makes me feel a certain way. and then just immerse yourself in this world of music and do not give up on it.

>>ANDREW: Love is a very powerful feeling. What does it feel like to be a person. What does it feel like to be alive. It feels sad. It feels scary. It feels exciting. It feels joyful as all these different flavors. It is a lot of different flavors of ice cream. There's a lot of different flavors of feeling inside you. So people want to make music that goes towards that feeling of love and excitement.

>>ANDREW: So we find things that we're happy about and then we have a party about them. What if we could have a party about the greatest thing of all which is being alive. So it's really just having a party all day every day about being alive!

I would like to set aside on this occasion my role as Democratic nominee, and speak as an American citizen. I would like to set aside on this occasion those issues that divide us, and speak of those that unite us. And I would like to address my remarks on this occasion not only to the people of Maryland and America, but also to the ruler of the Soviet Union.

I know something about Mr. Khrushchev, whom I met last year as a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. And I know something about the nature and history of his country, which I first visited in 1939.

Mr. Khrushchev himself, it is said, first told the story a few years ago about the Russian who suddenly began to run through the Kremlin shouting : "Khrushchev is a fool. Khrushchev is a fool." He was sentenced, the Premier said, to 23 years in prison - "3 for insulting the party secretary - and 20 for revealing a state secret."

And he is not putting on any act when he talks of the inevitable triumph of the Communist system. For this is what he believes - this is what he is determined to achieve - and this is what we in this Nation, Mr. Khrushchev, are equally determined to prevent.

We would not - and could not - prevent your coming here at the head of the Soviet delegation. We did not invite you - but I think most Americans would agree that we would rather meet in the U.N. than in nuclear combat.

But nevertheless the American people are wondering, Mr. Khrushchev, why you decided to come. At your last chance to discuss with us the world's drift toward war you not only sabotaged the Summit Conference but insulted our President as well. And Americans of all parties regard an insult to our President as an insult to every citizen.

Surely you do not believe you can use the United Nations as a forum for similar discourtesies. Nor can you believe that this country would ever be intimidated by your threats. That is not our tradition. We do not weaken in the face of tyranny. Samuel Adams, of Massachusetts, following the Boston Massacre, confronted the British Colonial Governor in his office. The Governor warned of mass arrests. Sam Adams warned of an American revolution; and "it was then," he wrote in his diary, "that I thought I saw his knees tremble." But Sam Adams' knees had not trembled - and our knees do not tremble today before your threats of rockets and conquest.

First, it has been suggested that your objective is to pose as a champion of peace and disarmament. You are said to be bringing new disarmament proposals with you. If they are at all constructive and negotiable, I hope we in this country will stand ready to consider them.

But the Bible, one book with which you may not be familiar, Mr. Khrushchev, warns us against those of whom it may be said: "The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart."

For the cold war, the Korean war, the Indochina war and every threat of new war have all been initiated by the Communists, not by the West. Today you are threatening or encouraging further disorders in Latin America, Africa, southeast Asia, Germany, and the Middle East. You have defied and hamstrung the U.N., yet now you come talking of disarmament. Under the old English legal maxim, "He who seeks equity must come with clean hands." And you do not come to the United Nations, Mr. Khrushchev, with clean hands to talk of peace.
