Evening is the period of time near the end of the day, usually from 6:00PM to nighttime. Evening can be characterized by the Sun lowering towards the horizon and by activities that usually occur during this time, such as eating dinner or having more formal social gatherings and entertainment. The term is often used up to the end of these activities, even when that time would otherwise be considered night.
A song is a single (and often standalone) work of music intended to be sung by the human voice with distinct and fixed pitches and patterns using sound and silence and a variety of forms that often include the repetition of sections. Written words created specifically for music or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs in a simple style that are learned informally are often referred to as folk songs. Songs that are composed for professional singers are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers and lyricists. Art songs are composed by trained classical composers for concert performances. Songs are performed live and recorded. Songs may also appear in plays, musical theatre, stage shows of any form, and within operas.
Alcohol intoxication (also known as drunkenness or inebriation) is a physiological state (that may also include psychological alterations of consciousness) induced by the ingestion of ethanol (alcohol).
Alcohol intoxication is the result of alcohol entering the bloodstream faster than it can be metabolized by the liver, which breaks down the ethanol into non-intoxicating byproducts. Some effects of alcohol intoxication (such as euphoria and lowered social inhibitions) are central to alcohol's desirability as a beverage and its history as one of the world's most widespread recreational drugs. Despite this widespread use and alcohol's legality in most countries, many medical sources tend to describe any level of alcohol intoxication as a form of poisoning due to ethanol's damaging effects on the body in large doses; some religions consider alcohol intoxication to be a sin while others utilize it in sacrament.
Symptoms of alcohol intoxication include euphoria, flushed skin and decreased social inhibition at lower doses, with larger doses producing progressively severe impairments of balance, muscle coordination (ataxia), and decision-making ability (potentially leading to violent or erratic behavior) as well as nausea or vomiting from alcohol's disruptive effect on the semicircular canals of the inner ear and chemical irritation of the gastric mucosa. Sufficiently high levels of blood-borne alcohol will cause coma and death from the depressive effects of alcohol upon the central nervous system.

The Yellow Emperor or Huangdi, formerly romanized as Huang-ti and Hwang-ti, is one of the legendary Chinese sovereigns and culture heroes included among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Tradition holds that Huangdi reigned from 2697 to 2597 or 2698 to 2598 BC. Huangdi's cult was particularly prominent in the late Warring States and early Han period, when he was portrayed as the originator of the centralized state, a cosmic ruler, and a patron of esoteric arts. Traditionally credited with numerous inventions and innovations, the Yellow Emperor is now regarded as the initiator of Chinese civilization, and said to be the ancestor of all Huaxia Chinese.
The Chinese historian Sima Qian – and much Chinese historiography following him – considered the Yellow Emperor to be a more historical figure than earlier legendary figures such as Fu Xi, Nüwa, and the Yan emperor. His Records of the Grand Historian begins with the Yellow Emperor, while passing over the others.
This piece is the 3rd found in Shenqimipu published in 1425 by the Ming Prince Zhu Quan. Shenqimipu is an edited collection of guqin music in three volumes with the first volume consisting of pieces that Zhu Quan himself considered ancient in his time. It should be understood that pieces in the latter two volumes of Shenqimipu could well be late Song pieces (1100 or so), so pieces like Wine Crazy (jiu kuang), and this piece are old indeed. Unfortunately we have no idea how old that may be. The preface to this piece states that the Yellow Emperor (a mythical emperor from ancient times) felt that his rule of the world was lacking and withdrew into mediation. He dreamed of a paradise world inhabited by the Huaxu people who did not die prematurely and did not fear death but instead...
she was waiting in the garden in the evening
she was waiting with the moonlight in her eyes
she was singing of the ripples
that were dancing through the water
and the little boy who cast them with a stone
they said her eyes were like satin..rain
and they said she'd never be the same
in the evening
she was swimming thru the nile in the evening
with the bad moon slowing rising in the haze
and the lightning and thunder
and the current pulled her under
and this is what is written on her grave
it says her eyes were like satin...rain
and it says we'll never be the same
it says her eyes were like satin...rain
and it says we'll never be the same
in the evening when the moon hangs low
when the lights that glow and starry skies
I see this all inside her eyes in the evening
they said her eyes were like satin..rain
and they said she'd never be the same
in the evening
