Pete Orta
Pete Orta (born August 26, 1971) is a Christian rock singer, guitarist, and songwriter and music producer. He was a member of Christian rock band Petra from 1996 to 2000.
Born in Port Lavaca, Orta moved to Lubbock at age six. Despite the roughly 540-mile initial relocation from south to north Texas, Orta's family kept moving within Lubbock city limits. Orta attended Haynes Elementary School, Mackenzie Junior High School, Evans Middle School, Matthews Junior High School and Lubbock High School before graduating from Coronado High School.
Orta was given his first guitar—a red, no-brand toy—by his aunt when he was four, which he taught himself to play.
At age 18, Orta left home, and although he had a job, he couldn't afford to pay both rent and for the black Steinberger guitar he had financed from Jent's House of Music. Choosing his guitar over a home, he lived in his car, slept in open churches and showered at the YMCA for a year. He eventually landed a job at Jent's, where he fell under the tutelage of co-worker and revered local guitarist, John Ellis. Ellis was surprised by Orta's melodic lines and fast playing ability, which he says often don't go hand in hand. He was also surprised that Orta had never heard of music greats, like Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin or Van Halen, all of which he had been deprived of hearing as a child with no electronics made available to him.
Orta
Orta, formerly Kari Pazarı, is a town and district of Çankırı Province in the Central Anatolia region of Turkey.

Janissaries
The Janissaries (Ottoman Turkish: يڭيچرى yeniçeri, meaning "new soldier") were elite infantry units that formed the Ottoman Sultan's household troops and bodyguards. Sultan Murad I created the force in 1383. The number of Janissaries grew from 20,000 in 1575, to 49,000 (1591), dropped to a low of 17,000 (1648), then rebounded to 135,000 in 1826.
They began as an elite corps of slaves recruited from young Christian boys, and became famed for internal cohesion cemented by strict discipline and order. By 1620 they were hereditary and corrupt and an impediment to reform. The corps was abolished by Sultan Mahmud II in 1826 in the Auspicious Incident in which 6,000 or more were executed.
Origins
Some historians such as Patrick Kinross date the formation of the Janissaries to around 1365, during the rule of Orhan's son Murad I, the first sultan of the Ottoman Empire. The Janissaries became the first Ottoman standing army, replacing forces that mostly consisted of tribal warriors (ghazis) whose loyalty and morale were not always guaranteed.

After The Pain
by: Betty WrightWell, I couldn't resist the urge to tell you the end of my story
For all those who wanted to know was there life after the pain
After the pain
You come and love me
And I welcome you
You're a glad sight to see
And after the rain
And all that I have been through
I still can't explain
How I can still love you like I do
But I do, yes, I do
Still love you like I do [After the pain]
Though you still do me like you do [After the pain]
After the pain
We sit and we talk awhile
And I fight with all my might
To hold back the tears from falling with a pleasant smile
And after the rain
I can't believe you got the nerve to still call me, baby
And I try to tell you, "No, it ain't so"
But I guess "No" just ain't in me
'Cause boy, I still love you like I do [After the pain]
Though you still do me like you do [After the pain]
Yeah, I know you're laughin'
Those of you who heard "Pain"
Yeah, you're right, I sure did
I said I'd never take him back again
Well, it's a woman's prerogative to change her mind isn't it?
But we do it all the time
Don't laugh, you probably done the same thing too
It's just that you know me and I don't know you
You know one thing, time has taught me that
Havin' a piece of man is better than havin' no man at all
So I'mma just take what I got and work with it
You understand what I mean
And don't you remember thinkin' back just a few years
When people used to try to help you stay together
They find out you're on the verge of breakin' up
They used to cook up a little food and throw a little party
And whisper things in your ear like
"Don't blame Mr. Charlie, Mr. Charlie is just a man
And he's doing the best he can"
I heard 'em say, "Don't blame Mr. Charlie, Mr. Charlie is just a man
And he's doing the best he can"
That's why I still love you like I do [After the pain]
Though you still do me like you do [After the pain, the pain]
I know that you know it's true
After all I've been through
I should be through with love
But there's a God up above
That keeps sayin', "Betty try
Don't give up, you know why
The sun is gonna shine
'Cause you are mine, all mine"
You just keep doin' your best
And I will do the rest
'Cause I love you, love you, Betty, like I do
That's why I still love you like I do [After the pain, the pain]
Though you still do me like you do [After the pain, the pain]
My love is deeper than any ocean
And my love is higher than any mountain
It's, oh, it's full of emotion
My love is full of devotion
My love is in and out of season
And I love you with or without a reason
You see God is gonna bless me for lovin' you
For all the times that you treated me wrong and I kept bein' true
You see, God's eyes they're not closed
He's not asleep
Said He's watchin' every move you make
Every secret you keep
Boy, you better be careful
Hoo... hoo... hoo... hoo...
Said if you treat me bad or make my sad
My Father in heaven is watching you
But I still love you like I do [After the pain]
And no-n-n-no-n-n-no-n-n-nobody's ever gonna love you like I do [After the pain]
No one's ever gonna love you like I do
No one's ever gonna love you like I do
No one's ever gonna love you like I do
I don't know why I do, but I do, yes, I do [After the pain]
Oh... there's a woman in me that keeps on lovin' you [After the pain, the pain]
I don't know why
Oh, I don't know why (I don't know why, baby) [After the pain, the pain]
I don't know why (I don't know why, baby), but I do (I do)
Said I do (I do, I do, I do)
Said I... [After the pain, the pain]
(Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa) [After the pain, the pain]
... Do, I don't know why, baby [After the pain, the pain]
But I love you so...
Yes, I do [After the pain, the pain]
Baby, don't you know it's true, yes, I do
Baby [After the pain], no strain [The pain]
Still love you after the pain [The pain]
