HI there Burt Bacharach :D

I truly admire this guy, tho I haven't known much about him yet

Burt Bacharach (born May 12, 1928) is an American pianist

and composer. He is best known for his many pop hits from the

early 1960s through the 1980s, with lyrics written by Hal David

his name has been mentioned as an song-writing influencer by

many of the well-known artists through 60s to 80s including

Jimmy Webb, Oasis, etc. and the song writer ,Carl Newman,

in The New pornographer, as well showed highly

respespect to this legacy song writer ..

"Alfie" was song he wrote for the movie in 1966

with Hal David , I was so moved by the lyrics

every time hearing it , it speaks my heart

and what I believe so deeply ...

Alfie

Whats it all about, alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
Whats it all about when you sort it out, alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we give
Or are we meant to be kind?
And if only fools are kind, alfie,
Then I guess its wise to be cruel.
And if life belongs only to the strong, alfie,
What will you lend on an old golden rule?
As sure as I believe theres a heaven above, alfie,
I know theres something much more,
Something even non-believers can believe in.
I believe in love, alfie.
Without true love we just exist, alfie.
Until you find the love youve missed youre nothing, alfie.
When you walk let your heart lead the way
And youll find love any day, alfie, alfie.

I like old school stuffs, I think that's all what modern music is based upon

and how the music has transformed to its kinds nowadays ... :)

without theses guys paved the road before us

we wouldn't have had so much inspirations

and so much growth from where music first began
