ROBERT MILES - ONE AND ONE.

The sky isn't always blue

The sun doesn't always shine

It's alright to fall apart sometimes

I am not always you

And you are not always mine

It's alright to fall apart sometimes

After all is said and done

One and one still is one

When we cry - when we laugh

I am half - you are half

A heart isn't always true

And I am not always fine

We all have an angry heart sometimes

After all is said and done

One and one still is one

When we cry - when we laugh

I am half - you are half

Look how far we have come

One and one still is ...

One moon - one star

I love the one we are

One thread - one line

One standing still in time

One moon - one star

I love the one we are

One thread - one line

One standing still in time

After all's said and done

One and one still is one

When we cry - when we laugh

I am half - you are half

Look how far we have come

One and one still is one

BAND AID - DO THEY KNOW IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME?

It's Christmas time

There's no need to be afraid
At christmas time

We let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty

We can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world

At christmas time

But say a prayer

Pray for the other ones
At Christmas time
It's hard, but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dreaded fear
Where the only water flowing

Is the bitter sting of tears
And the christmas bells that ring there

Are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you

And there won't be snow

In Africa this christmas time
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
Where nothing ever grows
No rain or rivers flow
Do they know it's christmas time at all?

Here's to you
Raise your glass for everyone
Here's to them
Underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's christmas time at all?

Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Let them know

It's Christmas time
Feed the world
Let them know

It's Christmas time
Feed the world
Let them know

It's Christmas time …    

BACKSTREET BOYS - AS LONG AS YOU LOVE ME.

 

Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine
I'm leaving my life in your hands
People say I'm crazy and that I am blind
Risking it all in a glance
And how you got me blind is still a mystery
I can't get you out of my head
Don't care what is written in your history
As long as you're here with me

I don't care who you are
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love me

Who you are
Where you're from
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me

Every little thing that you have said and done
Feels like it's deep within me
Doesn't really matter if you're on the run
It seems like we're meant to be

I don't care who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
What you did
As long as you love me (I don't know)
Who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me (yeah)

As long as you love me
As long as you love me

I've tried to hide it so that no one knows
But I guess it shows
When you look into my eyes
What you did and where you're coming from
I don't care, as long as you love me, baby

I don't care who you are (who you are)

Where you're from (where you're from)
What you did
As long as you love me (as long as you love me)
Who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
Don't care what you did (yeah)
As long as you love me (as long as you love me)

Who you are (who you are)
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
As long as you love me
Who you are

As long as you love me
What you did (I don't care)
As long as you love me

CHER - STRONG ENOUGH.

Music is an essential part of human existence. Different kinds of birds have different cries, songs and melodies to communicate about their world. Similarly music is used by human beings to express their thoughts and feelings about their inner world as well as their social world. It is hard to imagine a culture without music. Thus, music can be seen as the soul of human culture. In the context of education, music has become a popular subject in primary and secondary education and it is an established academic subject in tertiary education. However, research on the role of music in second language learning is surprisingly still in its embryonic stage while its popularity is strong and its impact on society is readily recognised. It would be interesting to examine the importance of music in education, particularly in relation to second language learning. 

Though music has been an important aspect of school culture, its role in language learning has not received great attention in educational research. The research on the role of music in second language learning is still at an embryonic stage, as I've just said. The general assumption is that music enhances a learning environment due to its affective power. A qualitative study has been conducted to examine how music is perceived by second language educators and students. The focus was on its role in second language learning. The study reveals interesting insights about the permeation of music in various extracurriculum activities and learning experiences of tertiary students of English. Pedagogically, English music has been highly valued by teachers and students of English in teaching speaking, listening, reading and writing. It is argued that music, particularly songs, is an encoding of cultural values and ideology which need to be viewed critically if foreign music is used in teaching a second language in our schools.

  CHER  ("STRONG ENOUGH").


I don't need your sympathy
There's nothing you can say or do for me
And I don't want a miracle
You'll never change for no one

And I hear your reasons why
Where did you sleep last night?
And was she worth it? 

Was she worth it?

'Cause I'm strong enough
To live without you
Strong enough and I quit crying
Long enough 

Now I'm strong enough
To know you gotta go

There's no more to say
So save your breath
And walk away
No matter what I hear you say
I'm strong enough to know you gotta go

So you feel misunderstood
Baby, have I got news for you
On being used, I could write the book
But you don't wanna hear about it

I've been losing sleep
You've been going cheap
She ain't worth half of me - it's true
Now I'm telling you ...

... That I'm strong enough to live without you
Strong enough and I quit crying
Long enough 

Now I'm strong enough
To know you gotta go

Come hell or waters high
You'll never see me cry
This is our last goodbye - it's true

I'm telling you ...

... Now I'm strong enough to live without you
Strong enough and I quit crying
Long enough now I'm strong enough
To know you gotta go

There's no more to say
So save your breath
And walk away
No matter what I hear you say
I'm strong enough to know you gotta go

In life
Things may not always go right for you
In those times - Just leave it behind
’Cause sometimes you gotta play the game
Just to survive

Without losing yourself
It’s a fight, it’s true - It takes time
Don’t have all the answers
No matter how hard it gets
Hold on to what’s inside

(CHORUS)
Don’t ever let nobody bring you down girl
Don’t ever let nobody tear your world apart
Look in the mirror and say who you are
Beautiful U R

In the dark
The paint chips have waited your heart
So deep - Can’t you see
See the light in the distance
Open up your eyes and look, look to the sky
And believe

There’s much more to life when you're free
That’s the key - And in time
You will find all the answers
Don’t have to lose your pride
Hold on to what’s inside

(CHORUS x 2)

Beautiful U  R (x 4)

 
Don’t care what they say anymore
There’s no time to be insecure
I leave it all at the door

She’s staring at him in the face
She’s taking it day by day
I’m finally on my way

(CHORUS x 3)
