Tim McGraw and Faith Hill: A Love Connection On and Off the Stage

Tim grew up riding horses and playing baseball in rural Louisiana. When he
was eleven, he accidentally discovered his mother's deepest secret--that he is
the biological son of pro baseball player Tug McGraw. Tim is currently
considered the king of country music. He holds twenty number one hits, has
sold thirty million albums and was awarded two Grammy¡¯s. Faith has also
sold 30 million records and won four Grammy¡¯s.

On Faith

Faith Hill was born in Star, Mississippi on September 21, 1967. Faith Hill's real
name is Audrey Faith Perry and she was adopted. Her last name came when
she married Daniel Hill. They divorced in 1991. She grew up singing in her
church and at family events. When Faith was nineteen she headed to
Nashville to see if she could make a career in country music. Faith Hill was
"discovered" working a job at a music publishing company. Her first demo
record was cut and the song was called "It Scares Me".

Faith made her first album with Warner Bros. in 1993. It was titled Take Me As I
Am. With the single, "Wild One", Faith became the first female country music
singer to stay on the Billboard as number one for four weeks in a row. In 1995,
Faith Hill released her second CD called "It Matters to Me".

She was recently quoted as saying, "Each day I try to get as much out of life as
I can - to keep it real, sincere and very honest. Hopefully, people can get that
from my music. And if I'm lucky, one day there will be a little spot carved away
somewhere that says I made a contribution."

On The Couple

In 1996, McGraw teamed up with Warner Brothers and artist Faith Hill for the
Spontaneous Combustion tour. It seems that spontaneous combustion is an
appropriate description for this couple¡¯s beginnings. Tim McGraw and Faith
Hill were married in October 1996. As a couple, they've soared to the top of the
country charts with romantic duets such as "Let's Make Love" and "It's Your
Love." Their ballads are inspired by their real-life love story.

People magazine named Faith Hill as one of the 50 "Most Beautiful People".
McGraw's "Everywhere" earned the CMA album of the year honors in 1998.
"It's Your Love", was the first musical partnership between Tim and Faith. "It¡¯s
Your Love" held the No. 1 spot Billboard¡¯s country singles chart for six weeks.
"It¡¯s" received a CMA vocal event trophy song and single of the year at the
ACM Awards that year. More duets followed with Let's Make Love earning a
Grammy.

In 1997, Faith gave birth to their first daughter Gracie. They were gifted with
two more daughters in 2001 and 2003. In a very surreal sense, it seems these
two were destined for each other. Tim¡¯s biological parentage and Faith¡¯s
adoption had to give them a sense of having something profoundly painful, in
common. Neither grew up with both of their parents. It makes sense that not
only do they share a bond of having suffered somewhat the same experience
but that they value their love and their family above all else. Their Soul2Soul II
Tour proves to be a representation on their love connection from off stage to
on stage.

Soul2Soul II Tour (SS2)

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill's Soul2Soul Tour 2000 marked one of the
industry's most successful concert tours in history. All venues sold-out and the
tour created record box office sales. SS 2000 ended about six years ago.
Many have long awaited and anticipated these months now into 2006. Tim
and Faith fans knew they would be back.

Soul2Soul II Tour is expected to exceed 80 concert performances and will
most definitely include the music that McGraw and Hill have made their
trademark over the years. SS2 will be as grand as SS1. Reports coming in
say that many of the venues showcasing SS2 have sold out the tickets in ten
minutes. It is expected that the set will be outstanding as usual. The couple is
known for the use of the round center stage design that allows for all seats in
the house to be the best seats in the house. Soul2Soul II Tour will include
many of Tim and Faith's biggest hits and duets. Many fans have reported that
their love for each other is obvious on-stage. They send out a powerful vibe
that not only entertains but makes many wish they could experience a
connection like that of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.

5 Funny Love Poems
Funny Love Poems

When most people think of love poems, they think of serious and soulful expressions of passion. Long sonnets by Shakespeare or romantic poems by Browning and Lord Byron are the norm for love poetry. However, funny love poems can be good for a laugh. They may not be romantic, but they do give your friends something to enjoy.

Some of the best funny love poems are limericks. Limericks started in Ireland and follow a standard form of five lines and a rhyme scheme of aabba. Here are a few limericks written by anonymous authors:

There once was an old man of Lyme
Who married three wives at a time
When asked "Why a third?"
He replied, "One's absurd!
And bigamy, Sir, is a crime."

There was a young fellow named Hammer
Whose had an unfortunate stammer
"The b-bane of my life"
Said he, "Is m-m-my wife
D-d-d-d-d-d-damn ‘er!"

She made friends with a young undertaker;
Her last boyfriend had forsaken her.
But she started to curse
When he turned up in a hearse.
She said next time I’ll date a baker!

There was a young lady named Constance,
From boys she wouldn’t stand any nonsense.
If her partners grew deft
She would lead with her left;
The results would not weigh on her conscience.

My sweetheart and I are just wed.
Already I wish I were dead.
Two weeks she’s been spending.
It was time never ending.
We are thousands of pounds in the red!

Limericks are fairly easy to write if you can rhyme well, so you might try writing a limerick yourself that includes the name of your friend or loved one. This is a good way to make a funny love poem that is personalized.

Who Wrote The Most Famous Love Poem
The Most Famous Love Poem

Love poems have been written for centuries to inspire lovers and create romance. When you give your special someone a love poem, you can express your feelings through eloquent words in a memorable way. Many famous love poems are written by classical poets, such as Lord Byron, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and Shakespeare. But a famous love poem by a modern poet may appeal to a younger person who likes a less formal tone.

The poet e.e. cummings wrote what is probably the most famous love poem currently. It has been featured in other books and movies, used as inspiration for other writers.

i carry your heart with me
by e. e. cummings

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

The poet e.e. cummings is quite a unique writer in that he used new methods of creating mood and setting the words to paper. He explored the use of white space on the page and made the words’ appearance just as important as their sound when the poem was read aloud.

This poem is a perfect example of his use of parentheses and unusual stanza variation. He found a wonderful way of expressing very abstract ideas with some concrete grammatical forms. Use this poem to express to your loved one just how much they mean to you.

Who Wrote the Best Love Poem?
Who Wrote the Best Love Poem?

Love poems have long been a way for men and women to express their feelings for one another in a unique and romantic way. They range from structured, formal works such as those by William Shakespeare to free verse works by modern greats such as e.e. cummings. But of all the love poems ever written, who wrote the best love poem ever?

Of course this question may have a different answer depending on who you ask. But for the sake of argument, let’s say that the poet who created the poem that is most often quoted and most recognizable is the one who wrote the best love poem of all time. If these are the criteria, then the poem How Do I Love Thee? by the poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning would win hands down.

Browning wrote this poem to her husband. She and Robert Browning, also a poet, wrote countless love letters to one another over the period of several years. Today, these love letters and the poems that accompany them are treasured parts of American literature. Here is Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s finest and most recognizable work:

How Do I Love Thee?

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.

I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

When people think of love poems, they usually think of this one, especially of the first line. It has inspired many other poems in its time and is a great source of imitation. As the best love poem ever written, it has all the elements of a great work: elegant structure, classic rhyme scheme, and beautiful imagery.
