I'm gonna give all my secrets away." Reason: He's going to be honest and show us who he really is, and he hopes people will appreciate that. He's realized that he doesn't care about shocking everyone with the perfect, story he's sick of everyone working so hard to get attention that way and he wishes that people weren't so shallow and insincere.įinally, I hear a plea for people to pay attention to him for the right reasons - his music, his personality, his dedication to what he does - even though he doesn't have an 'exciting' life that would be on all the magazine covers. He's doing what he is just because he loves doing it, not because he wants fame and attention. It sounds like he realizes that if he did that he would get a lot of attention, but he personally feels like it's not worth it. I don't care if critics never jump in line." This time, I don't need another perfect line. ![]() But the chorus convinces me that that's not the case. The first time I listened to the song, I thought he had become so desperate that he had decided to just make up some story or do something dangerous that would attract a lot of attention. "Got no reason, got no shame, got no family I can blame." However, he doesn't have an exciting story about a troubled family life or a dark, shameful past the kind of stories that people love to gossip about. My life gets kind of boring, need something that I can confess." ![]() "I need another story, something to get off my chest. It sounds like the person singing is feeling a lot of pressure to tell some juicy story that will have everyone talking about him so that he can be in the spotlight again. Advanced players ages 13-21 are invited to audition.This time, don't need another perfect lieįor the most part, I agree with what others have been saying about the meaning. 5 with Steven Sharp Nelson at Lyceum Music Festival this year! Work up-close and personal with Steven and other amazing professional musicians like the concertmaster of the London Symphony and Rotterdam Orchestra. Perform “Beethoven’s 5 Secrets” and the entire Beethoven Symphony No. “Don’t only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets, for it and knowledge can raise men to the divine.” This piece and video are dedicated to him. He was a true master of music, blessed by God. ![]() There is no doubt Beethoven discovered many of the “secrets” of art - people all over the world enjoy them every day. He believed that art itself had “secrets” that had to be “forced into” in order to obtain art’s highest level. And yet, he wrote his life’s greatest works after becoming deaf. Imagine that…one of the greatest composers that ever lived could hardly hear. His most prominent secret that he desperately tried to keep from the public and that caused him to be considered extremely eccentric, irritable, and hermit-like was his “weakness.” He was deaf during most of his life. What are Beethoven’s secrets? He had many. Try to guess where they are and where they come from! We used 5 different melodies from the 4 movements of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony (not including the “bridge” the orchestra plays in the middle). Steven Sharp Nelson had soloed with the orchestra the previous year and loved the spirit and the talent that the orchestra showed at such young ages (ages 13-18!) Together we developed the concept of “Beethoven’s 5 Secrets,” combining OneRepublic’s tune “Secrets” with melodies and moments from all four movements of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony. It combined two of the things we are working to accomplish - inviting people to classical music and inspiring young musicians. The American Heritage Lyceum Philharmonic (Youth Orchestra) and its director, Kayson Brown, approached us with this idea.
