We think of the human heart as our emotional center. Thoughts are in the mind, but what we feel is in the heart. Some people try to hide their emotions and keep them "inside," and no one ever really knows what they are truly feeling.

But sometimes people are less shy about showing how they feel. When they feel strong emotions about something that has happened to them (usually something sad), they can "let it all out," or as we commonly say, "pour out their heart" or "pour their heart out." For example, if a friend recently broke up with his or her boyfriend or girlfriend, that person may pour his or her heart out to you. In this case, you become his or her "shoulder to cry on." Afterward, the friend will probably feel much better, but may apologize for showing such strong emotion.

Make Your Own Kind Of Music

这首歌是《LOST》第二季第一集里Desmond在地下室里放的那首歌。

这是“爸爸妈妈乐队”的女歌手凯丝.艾略特(Cass Elliot)的独唱作品。提起“爸爸妈妈乐队”(The Mamas and the Papas)，也许很多不了解美国六七十年代音乐的网友并不熟悉；但提起他们的作品，很多人就会恍然如悟：“噢！原来那是他们的作品”。

爸爸妈妈乐队成立稍晚于沙滩男孩组合(The Beach Boys)，虽然没有能像沙滩男孩那样大红大紫，但也有过一段灿烂的辉煌：他们的《加州之梦》(California Dreamin')自从1966年问世以来，可以说是传唱不衰，风靡全球；看过《重庆森林》或是《阿甘正传》的人，一定记得《加州之梦》这首插曲。凯丝.艾略特(Cass Elliot)虽然身材肥胖，但性格却十分豪爽；其作品热情奔放，声音高亢有力，是乐队中最受听众欢迎的成员。而《打造自己的音乐》(Make Your Own Kind Of Music)一歌则是她最受欢迎的曲目之一。

比起别的流行歌曲，打造自己的音乐(Make Your Own Kind Of Music)显得很短，歌曲仅两分多钟长。因此，如果你只是聆听它的旋律，会觉得意犹未尽；而如果你能理解它的歌词，它传递给你的思考则远远不止两分钟的长度。

“没有人能告诉你，世上只有某一首歌值得去唱；即使有人这样说，也是因为他们想看你的笑话。你必须打造自己的音乐，唱自己的歌，就算没有任何人和你一起唱……做好自己，就是世界上最难做的事。”让我们一起来听听凯丝.艾略特的这首歌，真诚地希望每个人都能“Make your own kind of music，Sing your own special song，Even if nobody else sings along”。

Nobody can tell ya

There's only one song worth singing

They may try and sell ya

Cause it hangs them up to see someone like you

But you've gotta make your own kind of music

Sing your own special song

Make your own kind of music

Even if nobody else sings along

You're gonna be nowhere

The loneliest kind of lonely

It may be rough going

Just to do your thing's the hardest thing to do

But you've gotta make your own kind of music

Sing your own special song

Make your own kind of music

Even if nobody else sings along

So if you cannot take my hand

And if you must be going

I will understand

You've gotta make your own kind of music

Sing your own special song

Make your own kind of music

Even if nobody else sings along

You've gotta make your own kind of music

Sing your own special song

Make your own kind of music
