NF - How Could You Leave Us [Nightcore] (Lyrics) - Duration: 4:54.
How could you leave so unexpected?
We waited, we waited For you, but you just left us
We needed you, I needed you
Yo, I don't know what it's like to be addicted to pills
But I do know what it's like to be a witness, it kills
Mama told me she loved me, I'm thinkin' this isn't real
I think of you when I get a whiff of that cigarette smell, yeah
Welcome to the bottom of hell They say pain is a prison, let me out of my cell
You say you proud of me, but you don't know
me that well Sit in my room, tears running down my face
and I yell Into my pillowcases, you say you coming to
get us Then call 'em a minute later just to tell
us you not, I'm humiliated I'm in a room with a parent that I don't barely
know Some lady in the corner watching us while
she's taking notes I don't get it mom, don't you want to watch
your babies grow?
I guess pills are more important, all you have to say is "no"
But you won't do it, will you?
You gon' keep popping, 'til those pills kill you
I know you're gone, but I can still feel you
Why would you leave us?
Why would you leave us?
How could you leave us here?
How could you leave us?
Why would you leave us?
Oh
Hey
I got this picture in my room and it kills me
But I don't need a picture of my mom, I need the real thing
Now a relationship is something we won't ever have, but why do I feel like I lost something
that I never had?
You should have been there when I graduated Told me you loved me and congratulations,
instead you left us at the window waitin' Where you at mom?
We're too young to understand, where you at, huh?
Yeah, I know them drugs have got you held captive
I can see it in your eyes, they got your mind captured
Some say it's fun to get the high, but I am not laughin'
And what you don't realize and what you not graspin'
That I was nothing but a kid, who couldn't understand it
I ain't gon' say that I forgive you 'cause it hasn't happened
I thought that maybe I'd feel better as time passes
If you really cared for me, then where you at then?
Why would you leave us?
Why would you leave us?
How could you leave us here?
How could you leave us?
Why would you leave us?
Oh
Hey
Our last conversation, you and I sat in the
living room Talkin' 'bout my music and I brought you some
to listen to You started cryin', telling me "this isn't
you" A couple weeks later, guess you were singin'
a different tune You took them pills for the last time, didn't
you?
They took you from us once, I guess they came back to finish you
Cryin' my eyes out in the studio is difficult Music is the only place that I can go to speak
to you It took everything inside of me, not to scream
at your funeral Sittin' in my chair, that person talkin' was
pitiful I wish you were here, mama, but every time
I picture you All I feel is pain, I hate the way I remember
you They found you on the floor, I could tell
you felt hollow Gave everything you had, plus your life to
them pill bottles You gave everything you had, plus your life
to them pill bottles Don't know if you hear me or not, but if you're
still watching, ma
Why would you leave us?
Why would you leave us?
How could you leave us here?
How could you leave us?
Why would you leave us?
Oh
Hey
Sometimes I think about like Sometimes I think about things like,
you know
When I'd have kids, I'm like You won't be there, you know?
You won't be there for any of that
And I'll never get to see you again
Sometimes I wish I would've just called you I wish I would have just picked up the phone
Wish you were here I mean you should of been there for us
You should have been here!
Them pills got you, right?
Them pills got you, right?
I wish you were here…

UN Command and U.S. Forces Korea Command open their new headquarters at Camp Humphreys - Duration: 3:54.
Here in South Korea, United Nations Command... and U.S. Forces Korea have a new headquarters.
They'll be leaving the base they've used for decades in central Seoul... and relocating
to Camp Humphreys... south of the capital in Pyeongtae, Gyeonggi-do Province.
Our Park Ji-won was at the new headquarters' opening ceremony this morning.
The UN Command and U.S. Forces Korea held a ceremony Friday morning to officially open
their new headquarters at Camp Humphreys in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi-do Province,.... some
70 kilometers south of Seoul.
Hundreds of key military officials,... including South Korea's defense minister Song Young-moo
and the Commander of UN Command and U.S. Forces Korea General Vincent Brooks,... attended
the ceremony.
"The current turning point on the Korean peninsula is the result of the ROK-U.S. alliance,...
a win without fighting,... through overcoming lots of difficulties.
In this new era, troops of the UN Command and U.S. Forces Korea stationed in Pyeongtaek
will assume new missions that contribute to the peace and stability of the Korean peninsula
and the world, as a stabilizing presence in Northeast Asia."
"Today marks a historic milestone in the history of the United Nations Command which began
in 1950, and the history of the ROK-U.S. alliance.(...)
The UNC continues to be the home for the international commitment with the mandate to restore peace
and security in the defense of the Republic of Korea.
USFK will remain the living proof of the American commitment to the alliance."
General Brooks also expressed gratitude towards the South Korean government's financial contributions
in building the complex.
"This was a project that cost nearly 10.8 billion US dollars to build over 10 years.
The Republic of Korea's investment was over 90 percent of the cost, and for that 90 percent,
the United States remains with you 100 percent."
South Korean President Moon Jae-in also sent a congratulatory message,... read out by his
security aide Lee Sang-chul during the ceremony.
In the message, President Moon stressed the ROK-U.S. alliance has been the foundation
of not only the peace and stability of the Korean peninsula,... but also the democratization
and economic development of South Korea,... and he hoped that the ROK-U.S. alliance becomes
a 'great' alliance,... beyond the current military and comprehensive alliance.
The new base covers over 14 square kilometers, or some 3560 acres.
When complete,... it will contain military facilities, schools, hospitals and even golf
courses.
"This is the largest overseas U.S. base in the world, currently accommodating some 23
thousand people, including U.S. military officials and their families,.. and the base is expected
to grow to some 43 thousand people by 2022."
With the relocation,.. the United Nations Command and U.S. Forces Korea are leaving
Yongsan,... their home for the past six decades,... and plan to complete their move to Camp Humphreys,...
by the end of this year.
Meanwhile, the ROK-US Combined Forces Command will relocate to a building inside South Korea's
defense ministry in central Seoul by the end of the year.

The US's First Modern School Shooting Was In Carrie - Duration: 10:47.
Plug it up! Plug it up! Plug it up! Plug it up!
Hi, my name is Gabe and in this video I'll be looking into Carrie,
the 1970s version, you know, the good one.
Right up front, I'll mention that spoilers are ahead,
and that includes spoilers for those who've read the book,
and also those who've seen the remake or play.
The first Carrie film has major differences from these other versions,
differences that make it, in my opinion, best telling of the story.
In this video, I'd like to focus on the power behind that film, what made it is so impactful.
To me, this is the film's most impressive aspect.
Sit down!
So what made the original Carrie so impactful?
Other than the obvious, of course; its depiction of bullying and also its scares,
the latter of which includes the greatest jumpscare in the history of the movies.
I actually believe the most impactful aspect of Carrie lies underneath all this.
Here, at the film's deepest layer, I believe it is sensing into the future,
the writer and filmmakers tuned in to societal trends and trying to warn us where things were going.
Specifically, I believe that even though Carrie was released in 1976,
ie way before the US school shooting epidemic, the artists behind Carrie sensed it coming,
probably subconsciously but maybe not, and this story, in both book and movie form, was the result.
This may seem crazy, but many works of art have done similar things.
Like Network, which foresaw the sensationalist takeover of cable news decades before it actually happened,
I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to takethis anymore!
or M, which called out a society in transition, one that eventually transitioned into Nazi Germany,
and how about this amazing example:
fourteen years before the Titanic sunk, a book was published about the world's largest cruise ship,
named the Titan and considered unsinkable, hitting an iceberg and sinking in the Atlantic,
the majority of the passengers dying due to a lack of lifeboats on board.
The book is titled The Wreck of the Titan and after the Titanic sank,
people thought the author was clairvoyant, but he disagreed,
simply claiming that he was familiar with the shipbuilding and maritime trends of the day.
This phenomenon of art sensing into the future is actually common enough to have its own name:
the canary in the coal mine theory of the arts.
Coined by Kurt Vonnegut, this theory states that the purpose of artists, not entertainers but artists,
is to serve as society's canaries in the coal mine.
Specifically, because artists are so sensitive, they are more in tune and better able to tap into society's trends.
This means that when bad things are coming,
they sense them well before the rest of society has any idea anything negative is happening.
To me, Carrie clearly is this.
It's not a perfect premonition, since Carrie was a wonderful person before being pushed over the edge,
while school shooters almost always have issues from the beginning.
But even so, the similarities between Carrie and modern school shootings are uncanny.
To begin, lets simply look at the plot: a social outcast ostracized and bullied,
You eat shit!
in a school that either can't stop or exacerbates the bullying.
This isn't over. This isn't over by a long shot!
Said outcast is also abused at home, and has access to terrifying destructive power,
not literally with guns, but instead in the form of telekinesis.
This all builds to our outcast reaching the point where she loses all humanity and desires
nothing but revenge, not just against those who wronged her, but against everyone.
They're all gonna laugh at you!
And the result is a massacre, one eerily similar to school shootings,
the only real difference being there aren't any guns.
Carrie! Ahhhhh!!!!
Continuing at the plot level, Carrie's massacre ends with Carrie killing her mother,
similar to how school shooters often start by kill their parents,
and then the film ends with Carrie being taken by the devil,
much in the same way school shooters use suicide to end their evil deeds.
Even the scenes that don't play into this main plotline, the B, C, and D stories if you will,
still support the school shooting analogy, by showing the cluelessness of the administration,
Beeeaaauutiful!
the lack of effectiveness or even caring of authority,
We're all sorry about this incident Cassie.
It's Carrie!
the innocence of the victims,
I like it; I think it's teriffic.
Look at that, no ruffles at all.
the trauma of the survivors, and so on.
Several of Carrie's motifs play into this analogy as well.
For example, the appearance of blood is huge motif in this story,
it occurring only in moments of comfort and peace, much like a school should be.
Another motif is religious imagery,
with religious extremism dominating Carrie and also being a common motivator in mass shootings.
And then there's the camera work:
split diopter lenses,
voyeuristic and even chauvinistic shots,
Dutch angles,
all of which not only emphasize Carrie's ostracism, but also build to this famous shot
one that foreshadows the out-of-control nature of what is to come.
♪♪ But tonight there's only me. ♪♪
Of course, it is possible that these similarities are coincidental,
that Carrie has nothing to do with school shootings
and wasn't made from an even a sub-conscious connection to where society was going.
But when you consider that King's fourth novel, released three years after Carrie,
was literally about a school shooting,
It was a novel about a kid who goes to school one day
and shoots his Algebra teacher and holds his class hostage with a gun.
And he's got this whole backstory about his abusive father and a lot of teenage angst and a lot of problems.
and that he has done similar things in other works;
Gotta stay in better shape than this country. What the hell is happening to this country?
Can anybody tell me what the hell is going on?
Look at here: I read in one of your local papers,
right here on the front page. - Can you believe this guy?
- You got some old people - He's just getting warmed up.
eating dog food cause they can't afford
anything else. - You gonna vote for him John?
- Shame on America! - Shame on America!
I personally find the evidence for Carrie's connection to society to be overwhelming.
Finally, there is one aspect of Carrie I haven't mentioned yet,
even though it is actually the most important aspect outside Carrie herself:
Sue.
For Sue is the artist within this world;
she's the one who sensed something wrong and tried to do something,
putting herself out there to make the world better for others, Carrie in particular.
She's also the one no one but her boyfriend listened to. And as a result, tragedy happened.
Tragedy that could have been prevented, had people listened to Sue, understood what she was doing.
Just don't try.
Fine, I won't try.
Wait a second! It's not fine.
Listened instead of suspecting ulterior motives, or dismissing her as crazy.
For in doing so, they ignored the canary in the coal mine of their society,
and the result was not pretty.
And so, in the end, what we should take away from Carrie is simple.
Of course, there's the whole don't bully aspect,
the importance of accepting others and not abusing or ostracizing.
But more powerful than this is the idea that we should listen to artists,
Somebody open this door!
to understand what they are aware of that the rest of society isn't.
Society needs to listen to artists, whether they be Sue,
Stephen King,
or anyone else in tune with the world and with something to say.
Soon, all we will have is each other.
And that could be enough, if you will let us have room enough, and air enough, and peace enough,
to love each other as you never could.
It's beautiful.
We can listen, or we can be Chris,
or Norma,
or Mr Fromm and Principal Morton,
or even Miss Collins, who despite being a protagonist
was too focused on herself to understand what Sue was doing.
It's beautiful hair, you could just put it up a little, maybe add a little curl.
What do you think?
Yeah!
We can be like these people or we can be better, we can listen and understand,
become aware of what's really going on in our society.
And if we do, maybe we can prevent the next tragedy from happening,
because if we don't, we definitely will be massacred, as shown in Carrie.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to visit Pyongyang next week: report - Duration: 1:40.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will reportedly fly over to Pyongyang next week.
Despite it coming later than first expected, the Trump administration is hoping it can
keep pressure on North Korea to speed up the denuclearization process.
Cha Sang-mi reports.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will reportedly visit North Korea next week, according to
the Financial Times.
Citing four unnamed U.S. officials,... the newspaper on Thursday said Pompeo has cancelled
a planned July 6th meeting with his Indian counterpart in Washington... in order to fly
to Pyongyang.
The officials added that the joint declaration signed by U.S. President Donald Trump and
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on June 12th,... stipulated that Pompeo would hold "follow-on"
talks with an unnamed senior North Korean official "at the earliest possible date",...
but had given no timeline.
The visit will be the first senior-level meeting between the two sides since that historic
summit in Singapore.
The U.S. State Department wouldn't confirm the Financial Times' report.
Pompeo traveled to North Korea twice before the Singapore summit, the most recent in May,
when he returned to the U.S. with three American hostages who had been detained in the North.
The report comes after Pompeo testified to the Senate Appropriations Committee on Wednesday,
where he stated that contacts with North Korea are ongoing,... with him in charge of the
communication.
Pompeo said he was sure the regime knows the scope of denuclearization the Trump administration
is calling for.
He had also confirmed that no remains of U.S. soldiers killed during the Korean War have
been handed over by the North, but said he was optimistic they will be "in the not too
distant future."

S. Korean, U.S. defense chiefs reaffirm ironclad alliance and watertight consultations - Duration: 3:19.
And the top military officials from South Korea and the U.S. have shown their strong
alliance amid the shifting geopolitical landscape of the region.
The two agreed the Korean peninsula sits at a crucial diplomatic juncture as talks continue
on bringing North Korea into the international fold.
Park Ji-won reports.
In their opening statement before their closed-door meeting,... the two defense chiefs reaffirmed
their steadfast and ironclad alliance,... vowing that they will continue (quote) "watertight"
consultations,... at a time when major changes are happening on the Korean peninsula.
"We're standing at a turning point between the dark shadow of conflict and confrontation
that hung over the Korean peninsula for the last 70 years, and the brighter new history
of peace and cooperation. This is a precious opportunity made by President Moon and U.S.
President Trump's vision and decisions. South Korea and the U. S. pledge their utmost effort
to ensure that this opportunity not only leads to the peace and prosperity of the Korean
Peninsula, but also Northeast Asia and the world."
They also confirmed the decision to suspend the Freedom Guardian exercise,... originally
scheduled for this August. Mattis said the suspension of the joint military
exercises will create a better environment for diplomats to negotiate with the North.
"The recent decision to suspend the Freedom Guardian exercise creates an increased opportunity
for our diplomats to negotiate, increasing the prospects for a peaceful solution on the
Korean Peninsula. At the same time the U.S. and ROK forces remain united, vigilant and
ready to defend against any challenge."
The suspension of the Freedom Guardian exercise, however, doesn't mean that the two countries
will suspend all future military drills. Military sources told Arirang News that the
two defense chiefs agreed that the two countries will decide the timing, scope and scale of
future joint military drills and announce the details together,... considering the North's
progress in denuclearization and the military's combat readiness.
Mattis also stressed that the U.S. will maintain its current troop levels on the Peninsula.
"U.S. commitment to the Republic of Korea remains ironclad and the U.S. will continue
to use a full range of diplomatic and military capabilities to uphold this commitment. This
includes maintaining the current the U.S. force levels on the Korean peninsula."
The two leaders also shared a common view that international sanctions on the North
should remain in effect,.. until Pyongyang takes concrete and irreversible steps for
denuclearization. The two defense chiefs also briefly discussed
the transfer of wartime operational control to South Korea,... but didn't reveal many
details of those discussions. They stressed that this year marks the 65th
anniversary of the signing of the bilateral mutual defense treaty and 50 years of close
consultation through annual joint security consultative meetings,... and they vowed to
further strengthen the alliance,.. in pursuit of the shared goal of peace in the region.
