Steven Tyler

“Dream until your dream comes true”

           The powerful lyrics of singer/song writer Steven Tyler also known as the “Demon of Sceamin.” Dream On is one of Aerosmith’s signature songs recorded on their first album. Tyler was the lead singer of this well known band. They are a pretty famous band. Seems easy starting a band, right? Write words on paper sing to them and have fun performing in front of tons of people. Well it takes a little more than that. It takes a lot of hard work and practicing. Being in the spotlight the crowd cheering your name sounds like a dream. Steven Tyler was lucky to have this wonderful experience.

          Born March 26, 1948 Steven Victor Tallarico was a son of his proud parents. His mother was a secretary, his father a music teacher. The fact that Tyler’s father was a music teacher he was able to benefit from that. His father was also a pianist and he taught his son how to play piano, he was also able to play harmonica and percussion. Before the days of Steven Tyler lead singer of Aerosmith he started of smaller, he decided he wanted to be in a band when he was in Boston. He played the drums for the longest time. Then he decided he wanted to focus on his singing career. He worked hard to get what he wanted it wasn’t just handed to him and I respect that in a person. I really don’t like when people don’t have the talent to be famous but they are any way. A lot of people try for success and some succeed but same may not and they may get knocked out by someone who isn’t nearly as good.

         With all his talent Tyler got far in his life, with all the albums they got recorded, all the fans. Then Tyler decided he wanted to go a different way and the band said no. The band fell apart. Soon after, Tyler started up on some pretty heavy drugs. He eventually went to rehab but that wasn’t the answer. He ended up in rehab 3 more times after that. Once Tyler was sworn to be a changed man the band was able to get back together and made a miraculous comeback.

          Recently Steven Tyler has been one of the new judges on American Idol. I really like how he judged he wasn’t rude at all when they voted people off. He always told them to hold on to their dreams. He is very inspiring and also very unique. Just the way his raspy voice sounds when he sings it is amazing. Also the way he presents himself, the cloths he wears, his hair, and he always has scarves on his microphone like a trade mark. I really enjoy his music and his support to everyone’s dreams.

          Steven Tyler was able to live the dream that everyone has. He lived it well he might have slipped up a little but he was able to get back on his feet and show the world how dreams can come true. It takes a lot of hard work and practice but they can be mastered.

Do you ever think of what the future will be like?
You never know what's going to happen...
For all i know, the next minute we could get bombed
Something out of the ordinary
Some things you just can't figure out
Not even the smartest people on earth! Can tell what the future will be like...
Well, Except God, cause he knows everything
but, don't you wish... that for once in your life
You will be able to answer this one simple question
No more "What ifs"
Because all you want is that question...answered
Do you ever wonder, that after it's answered, that you'll have a sense of freedom?
or...just a sense of fear?
everyone wonders about it sometime
about that one confusion
 that one question
"What happens next?"

Thoughts of you...

What do I see when I look at you? I look deep into your eyes, but it's like fogged glass, I can't see through. I can't find the real you. It seems as though you hide someone I don't know somewhere inside. It hurts me to know you think that you can't tell me the you I want to know. Even though I can't see what you have seen I am always here to help. Even though I would like to say from the outside you are confusing from the inside out I wonder about you. A question mark on my face. I sit and wonder. The words you say, the way you act is so different than what I would expect. Your smile so brilliant hiding the stories of your life. It's hard to understand when it doesn't make sense. From what I know you are kind and caring. Nice and friendly. This what goes through my mind when I look at you. So what do you think when you look at me?
