Why music is so important?

Music changes the routine in your studies. It offers resources for
the development of your 4 skills: listening, speaking, reading and
writing.
Learning English using music exposes you to a safe and non-
threatening environment of an authentic language, who
normally feel a certain tension when exposed to a foreign
language.
In addition to some studies that demonstrate that music is the
largest source of English outside the classroom, along with
games, series and films, and increases exposure to authentic
language in a fun way that encourages your learning.

Some good arguments:

. Music is part of our daily lives. You can often hear them outside
the classroom.
. There is a variety of vocabulary, content, grammatical points,
themes and cultural aspects that can be addressed in a single
song.
. You can develop your critical sense.
. The songs always contain authentic language. There are songs
that contain inappropriate words and content. However, in this
book, all the songs were carefully selected so that you don't
waste time choosing from the thousands of songs.
. You can use a song as ‘warm up’, as the main theme of your
studies in the idiom or as an assessment and verification of your
own learning.
. Exposure to a variety of accents other than English and, through
music from different regional backgrounds, being presented to
different cultures.
. You can explore current situations, as they portray the current
world.
. And music relaxes, entertains and teaches!

And then you call me and it's not so bad,

I want to thank you

Oh just to be with you

Push the ____________, I'm home at last

Then you hand me a ____________and all I see is you
And even if my ____________falls down,

An old man turned

He won the and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon too late
And isn't it ironic, don't you think?

CHORUS:
It's like rain on your
It's a free when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought, it

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly

He packed his and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane , he thought
"Well, isn't this nice?"
And isn't it ironic, don't you think?

[CHORUS]

Well, life has a way of sneaking up on you

When you think everything's okay and everything's going

And life has a funny way of helping you out

When you think everything's gone wrong
And everything up in your face

A when you're already late

A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful
And isn't it ironic, don't you think?

A little too ironic

And, yeah, I really do think

[CHORUS]

And, yeah, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you

Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out

I always that dream like my daddy before me

So, I started writing songs, I writing stories
Something about the glory, just always to bore me
'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me

Once I twenty years old, my story

Before the morning sun, when life lonely
Once I twenty years old

I only see my goals, I don’t believe in failure

‘Cause I know the smallest voices; they can make it major
I my boys with me, at least those in favor
And if we don’t meet before I leave, I hope I’ll see you later

Once I twenty years old, my story

I writing ‘bout everything I before me
Once I twenty years old

Soon we’ll be thirty years old, our songs have been

We’ve around the world and we’re still roaming
Soon we’ll be thirty years old

I’m still learning about life, my woman children for me

So, I can sing them all my songs and I can tell them stories
Most of my boys are with me, some are still out seeking glory
And some I to leave behind, my brother, I’m still sorry

Soon I’ll be sixty years old, my daddy sixty-one

Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
I a man so happy when I a letter once
I hope my children come and visit once or twice a month

Soon I’ll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold?
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?
Soon I’ll be sixty years old

Complete with the Gerund

I see this life, like a vine

Swing my heart across the line
And in my face is signs
Seek it out and ye shall find
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
On just what we're told

I feel something so right

the wrong thing
And I feel something so wrong
the right thing
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie

Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

Underline the opposites

I feel your love and I feel it burn

Down this river, every turn
Hope is our four-letter word
Make that money, watch it burn
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
On just doing what we're told

And I feel something so wrong

Doing the right thing
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie

Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly
