A hi-hat, or hihat, is a type of cymbal and stand used as a typical part of a drum kit by percussionists in R&B, hip-hop, disco, jazz, rock and roll, house, reggae and other forms of contemporary popular music. It is a standard part of the modern drum kit. The hi-hat consists of two cymbals that are mounted on a stand, one on top of the other, and a pedal which can be used to clash and hold the cymbals together.
A hat is a head covering. It can be worn for protection against the elements, for ceremonial or religious reasons, for safety, or as a fashion accessory. In the past, hats were an indicator of social status. In the military, they may denote nationality, branch of service, rank and/or regiment.
One of the first pictorial depictions of a hat appears in a Thebes tomb painting which shows a man wearing a coolie-style straw hat. Other early hats were the Pileus, a simple skull cap; the Phrygian cap, worn by freed slaves in Greece and Rome; and the Greek petasos, the first known hat with a brim. Women wore veils, kerchiefs, hoods, caps and wimples. St. Clement[disambiguation needed ], the patron saint of felt hatmakers, is said to have discovered wool felt when he filled his sandals with flax fibers to protect his feet. Structured hats for women similar to those of male courtiers began to be worn in the late 16th century. The term ‘milliner’ comes from the Italian city of Milan, where the best quality hats were made in the 18th century. Millinery was traditionally a woman’s occupation, with the milliner not only creating hats and bonnets but also choosing lace, trimmings and accessories to complete an outfit.
He Said
=======
I never said those words
I'm going up that mountain now
Let earth go away, let cold wind blow
Because I cannot save them now
And this is my regret
That's coming down all over me
It drinks to drown in words in seas
But it only makes them rule again
[1st version chorus]: Go away, go away, go away I said
Go away, go away, go away I'm trying to sleep
Go away, go away, go away I said
[2nd version chorus]: I wish your mountains
I wish your mountains were gone
I wish you'd go, I wish you'd go
I used to think that there were other worlds
But I'm the only one that he said
So they are only in my head again...only
I have these words that are so hard
that I am working all the day
In everything I come to say
I build a shadow of him
He is afraid again
He says he is afraid again
It's coming down in tears of rain
And it will make them rule again
I spend my life in the worries he said
[1st version chorus]
