Charlie Siem is a true violin virtuoso in every sense of the word. Living in New York City, he has also graced the cover of Vogue Magazine in his other career as a model. Even his violin is amazing! Considered a priceless antique, his violin is insured for a whopping $10 million.

He makes it look so easy!!
"Old School" meets new in this performance for Lady GaGa!
This video really displays the talent that will earn him a mark in history.
(I guess I am getting to be an old "fuddy duddy", but back in the day, I would have had fun at this party, lol! Charlie's performance here is STELLAR!)
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young In a world of magnets and miracles Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary The ringing of the division bell had begun
Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway Do they still meet there by the Cut
There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps Running before time took our dreams away Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground To a life consumed by slow decay
The grass was greener The light was brighter With friends surrounded The night of wonder
Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again Dragged by the force of some inner tide
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world
Encumbered forever by desire and ambition There's a hunger still unsatisfied Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon Though down this road we've been so many times
The grass was greener The light was brighter The taste was sweeter The nights of wonder With friends surrounded The dawn mist glowing The water flowing The endless river
Forever and ever
David Gilmour & Richard Wright (Pink Floyd) The final concert - Live at The Royal Albert Hall - 2006 - Remember That Night.
Into the distance, a ribbon of black Stretched to the point of no turning back A flight of fancy on a windswept field Standing alone my senses reeled A fatal attraction is holding me fast, How can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings Unheeded warnings, I thought, I thought of everything No navigator to find my way home Unladened, empty and turned to stone A soul in tension -- that's learning to fly Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer, My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air, Across the clouds I see my shadow fly Out of the corner of my watering eye A dream unthreatened by the morning light Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
There's no sensation to compare with this Suspended animation, a state of bliss
Can't keep my mind from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
I think we are going to be hearing a lot about this talented 13 year old girl, who dropped the audience and the judges to their knees with this fabulous performance of "Mercy" by Duffy.
All I can say is that this little girl has one heck of a set of lungs! (Please note, her last name is spelled Crowe)
Great song and great movie! If you haven't seen The Blind Side, be sure to watch it. It is an inspirational true story of how love can change the life of a young man.
Chances are when said and done
Who'll be the lucky ones who make it all the way? Though you say I could be your answer Nothing lasts forever no matter how it feels today
Chances are we'll find a new equation Chances roll away from me Chances are all they hope to be
Don't get me wrong I'd never say never 'Cause though love can change the weather No act of God can pull me away from you
I'm just a realistic man, a bottle filled with shells and sand Afraid to love beyond what I can lose when it comes to you And though I see us through, yeah
Chances are we'll find two destinations Chances roll away from me Still chances are more than expectations The possibilities over me
It's a fight with two to one, lay your money on the sun Until you crash what have you done? Is there a better bet than love? What you are is what you breathe, you gotta cry before you sing
Chances, chances Chances lost are hope's torn up pages Maybe this time
Chances are we'll be the combination Chances come and carry me Chances are waiting to be taken, and I can see
Chances are the fascinations Chances won't escape from me Chances are only what we make them and all I need
There's a fire starting in my heart Reaching a fever pitch, and it's bringing me out the dark Finally I can see you crystal clear Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship there See how I'll leave with every piece of you Don't underestimate the things that I will do
There's a fire starting in my heart Reaching a fever pitch And it's bringing me out the dark
The scars of your love remind me of us They keep me thinking that we almost had it all The scars of your love, they leave me breathless I can't help feeling We could have had it all Rolling in the deep (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep) You had my heart inside of your hand (You're gonna wish you never had met me) And you played it to the beat (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
Baby, I have no story to be told But I've heard one of you And I'm gonna make your head burn Think of me in the depths of your despair Making a home down there As mine sure won't be shared
The scars of your love remind me of us They keep me thinking that we almost had it all The scars of your love, they leave me breathless I can't help feeling We could have had it all Rolling in the deep (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep) You had my heart inside of your hand (You're gonna wish you never had met me) And you played it to the beat (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep) We could have had it all Rolling in the deep You had my heart inside of your hand But you played it with a beating
Throw your soul through every open door Count your blessings to find what you look for Turn my sorrow into treasured gold You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow
(You're gonna wish you never had met me) We could have had it all (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep) We could have had it all (You're gonna wish you never had met me) It all, it all, it all (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all (You're gonna wish you never had met me) Rolling in the deep (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep) You had my heart inside of your hand (You're gonna wish you never had met me) And you played it to the beat (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You could have had it all (You're gonna wish you never had met me) Rolling in the deep (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep) You had my heart inside of your hand (You're gonna wish you never had met me)
But you played it You played it You played it You played it to the beat.
Night falls and I'm alone Skin yeah chilled me to the bone You turned and you ran Oh yeah oh slipped, right from my hand
Hey, blue on black, tears on a river Push on a shove it don't mean much Joker on jack, match on a fire Cold on ice a dead man's touch Whisper on a scream doesn't change a thing Don't bring you back Blue on black oh yeah, blue on black
Blind oh, now I see Truth, lies and in between Wrong, can't be undone Oh slipped, from the tip of your tongue
Hey, blue on black, tears on a river Push on a shove it don't mean much Joker on jack, match on a fire Cold on ice a dead man's touch Whisper on a scream doesn't change a thing Doesn't bring you back, yeah Blue on black, oh blue on black, oh yeah
Blue on black, tears on a river Push on a shove it don't mean much Joker on jack, match on a fire Cold on ice is a dead man's touch Whisper on a scream doesn't change a thing Don't bring you back, blue on black, oh yeah Blue on black
Hey, blue on black, tears on a river Push on a shove it don't mean much Joker on jack, match on a fire And cold on ice is a dead man's touch Whisper on a scream doesn't change a thing Doesn't bring you back Blue on black, oh blue on black Oh blue on black, oh blue on black
You gotta find a way Yeah, I can't wait another day Ain't nothin' gonna change If we stay around here I gotta do what it takes Because it's all in our hands We all make mistakes Yeah, but it's never to late to start again (yeah yeah) Take another breath And say another prayer
Then fly away from here To anywhere Yeah, I don't care If we just fly away from here Our hopes and dreams Are out there somewhere Won't let time pass us by We'll just fly
If this life Gets any harder now It ain't no nevermind Ya got me by your side And anytime you want (fly fly fly) Yeah we catch a train And find a better place Yeah, 'cause we won't let nothin' or no one keep gettin' us down maybe you and I Could pack our bags and hit the sky
Then fly away from To anywhere Yeah, I don't care If we just fly away from here And our hopes and dreams Are out there somewhere I won't let time pass us by We'll just fly
Do you see a bluer sky now You could have a better ride now Open your eyes
Because no one here can ever stop us They can try but we won't let them No way-ay-ay-ay-yeah-ah
maybe you and I Could pack our bags and say goodbye
Then fly away from here To anywhere No honey I don't care If we just fly away from here And our hopes and dreams Are out there somewhere Fly away from here (ya ya ya) Yeah anywhere Now honey, I don't I don't I don't fly (yeah)
Hush now don't you cry Wipe away the tear drops from your eye You're lying safe in bed It was all a bad dream Spinning thru your head Your mind tricked you to feel the pain Of someone close to you leaving the game Of life
So here it is, another chance Wide awake, you face the day Your dream is over... Or has it just begun?
There's a place I like to hide A door way that I run thru in the night Relax child, you were there But only didn't realize, and you were scared It's a place where you will learn To face your fears, retrace the years And ride the whims of your mind Commanding in another world Suddenly, you hear and see This magic new dimension
I -- will be watching over you I -- am gonna help you see it through I -- will protect you in the night I -- am smiling next to you .. in Silent Lucidity
[Visualize your dreams write them into permanent form if you consist in your efforts you will achieve dream control
control
how is that, better?
dream control dream control help me]
If you open your mind for me You won't rely on open eyes to see The walls you built within Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin Living twice at once you learn You're some from pain in the dream domain A soul set free to fly A round trip journey in your head Master of illusion, can you realize Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but...
I -- will be watching over you I -- am gonna help you see it through I -- will protect you in the night I -- am smiling next to you ..
