• "Thank you for the Music - Abba"

  • Self-study task: What is the singer grateful for? List as many things as you can find. List the things that you're grateful for in your personal life, too.

    
    I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore
    If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before
    But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
    'cause everyone listens when I start to sing
    I'm so grateful and proud
    All I want is to sing it out loud
    
    So I say
    Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
    Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
    Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
    What would life be?
    Without a song or a dance what are we?
    So I say thank you for the music
    For giving it to me
    
    Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
    She says I began to sing long before I could talk
    And I've often wondered, how did it all start?
    Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
    Like a melody can?
    Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan
    
    So I say
    Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
    Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
    Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
    What would life be?
    Without a song or a dance what are we?
    So I say thank you for the music
    For giving it to me
    
    I've been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair
    I wanna sing it out to everybody
    What a joy, what a life, what a chance!
    
    So I say
    Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
    Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
    Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
    What would life be?
    Without a song or a dance what are we?
    So I say thank you for the music
    For giving it to me

• "Sad Songs - Elton John"

  Self-study task:

  When and why does the singer listen to sad songs?

  
  Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain
  And ironing out the rough spots
  Is the hardest part when memories remain
  And it's times like these when we all need to hear the radio
  `cause from the lips of some old singer
  We can share the troubles we already know
  
  Turn them on, turn them on
  Turn on those sad songs
  When all hope is gone
  Why don't you tune in and turn them on
  
  They reach into your room
  Just feel their gentle touch
  When all hope is gone
  Sad songs say so much
  
  If someone else is suffering enough to write it down
  When every single word makes sense
  Then it's easier to have those songs around
  The kick inside is in the line that finally gets to you
  And it feels so good to hurt so bad
  And suffer just enough to sing the blues
  
  Sad songs, they say
  Sad songs, they say
  Sad songs, they say
  Sad songs, they say so much

• "Fernando - Abba"

  • Self-study task What words and phrases convey the dramatic atmosphere the this song?

    
    Can you hear the drums Fernando?
    I remember long ago another starry night like this
    In the firelight Fernando
    You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
    I could hear the distant drums
    And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar
    
    They were closer now Fernando
    Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
    I was so afraid Fernando
    We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
    And I'm not ashamed to say
    The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry
    
    There was something in the air that night
    The stars were bright, Fernando
    They were shining there for you and me
    For liberty, Fernando
    Though we never thought that we could lose
    There's no regret
    If I had to do the same again
    I would, my friend, Fernando
    If I had to do the same again
    I would, my friend, Fernando
    
    Now we're old and grey Fernando
    Since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
    Can you hear the drums Fernando?
    Do you still recall the fateful night we crossed the Rio Grande?
    I can see it in your eyes
    How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land
    
    There was something in the air that night
    The stars were bright, Fernando
    They were shining there for you and me
    For liberty, Fernando
    Though we never thought that we could lose
    There's no regret
    If I had to do the same again
    I would, my friend, Fernando
    
    There was something in the air that night
    The stars were bright, Fernando
    They were shining there for you and me
    For liberty, Fernando
    Though we never thought that we could lose
    There's no regret
    If I had to do the same again
    I would, my friend, Fernando
    
    Yes, if I had to do the same again
    I would, my friend, Fernando
    If I had to do the same again
    I would, my friend, Fernando...

  • "Eve of Destruction - Barry McGuire"

    • Self-study task:  Quite a few ironies are highlighted in this song. Do you know what an irony is? Can you find the ironies?

      Do you notice the deliberate grammar adjustments for words in the present tense? They fit the tone of this song, but please do not use these adjustments anywhere else.

      
      The eastern world, it is explodin',
      Violence flarin', bullets loadin',
      You're old enough to kill but not for votin',
      You don't believe in war, but what's that gun you're totin',
      And even the Jordan river has bodies floatin',
      But you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
      Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
      
      Don't you understand, what I'm trying to say?
      And can't you feel the fears I'm feeling today?
      If the button is pushed, there's no running away,
      There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave,
      Take a look around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, boy,
      And you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
      Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
      
      Yeah, my blood's so mad, feels like coagulatin',
      I'm sittin' here, just contemplatin',
      I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation,
      Handful of Senators don't pass legislation,
      And marches alone can't bring integration,
      When human respect is disintegratin',
      This whole crazy world is just too frustratin',
      And you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
      Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
      
      Think of all the hate there is in Red China!
      Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama!
      Ah, you may leave here, for four days in space,
      But when your return, it's the same old place,
      The poundin' of the drums, the pride and disgrace,
      You can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace,
      Hate your next door neighbor, but don't forget to say grace,
      And you tell me over and over and over and over again my friend,
      You don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
      
      No, no, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

      And life is worth living
      But only worth living
      Cos you're born free [Instrumental]

      What makes this such an appropriate song for such a major event? Does it inspire you when you think of your personal goals?"

      
      Each day I live
      I want to be
      A day to give
      The best of me
      I'm only one
      But not alone
      My finest day
      Is yet unknown
      
      I broke my heart
      Fought every gain
      To taste the sweet
      I face the pain
      I rise and fall
      Yet through it all
      This much remains
      
      I want one moment in time
      When I'm more than I thought I could be
      When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
      And the answers are all up to me
      Give me one moment in time
      When I'm racing with destiny
      Then in that one moment of time
      I will feel
      I will feel eternity
      
      I've lived to be
      The very best
      I want it all
      No time for less
      I've laid the plans
      Now lay the chance
      Here in my hands
      
      Give me one moment in time
      When I'm more than I thought I could be
      When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
      And the answers are all up to me
      Give me one moment in time
      When I'm racing with destiny
      Then in that one moment of time
      I will feel
      I will feel eternity
      
      You're a winner for a lifetime
      If you seize that one moment in time
      Make it shine
      
      Give me one moment in time
      When I'm more than I thought I could be
      When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
      And the answers are all up to me
      Give me one moment in time
      When I'm racing with destiny
      Then in that one moment of time

      There's a hero if you look inside your heart,
      You don't have to be afraid of what you are.
      And There's an answer, if you reach into your soul,
      And the sorrow that you know will melt away.
      
      (Chorus)
      And then a hero comes along,
      With the strength to carry on.
      And you cast your fears aside,
      And you know you can survive.
      So, when you feel like hope is gone,
      Just Look inside you and be strong.
      And you'll finally see the truth,
      That a hero lies in you...
      
      It's a long road, when you face the world alone;
      No one reaches out a hand for you to hold...
      You can find love if you search within yourself
      And then the emptiness you felt will disappear...
      
      (Chorus)
      And then a hero comes along
      With the strength to carry on
      And then you cast your fears aside
      And you know you can survive.

      Look inside you and be strong
      And then you'll finally see the truth
      See That a hero lies in you.
      
      Lord knows dreams are hard to follow,
      But don't let anyone tear them away.
      Just hold on, and there will be tomorrow,
      And In time you'll find the way.
      
      (Chorus)
      And then a hero comes along,
      With the strength to carry on.
      And then you cast your fears aside

  • "You are Not Alone - Michael Jackson"

    • Self-study task: How are the sentiments of this song similar to Celine Dion's My Heart will go on.

      
      Another day has gone
      I'm still all alone
      How could this be
      You're not here with me?
      You never said goodbye
      Someone tell me why
      Did you have to go
      And leave my world so cold
      
      Everyday I sit and ask myself
      How did love slip away
      Something whispers in my ear and says
      
      That you are not alone
      For I am here with you
      Though you're far away
      I am here to stay
      But you are not alone
      I am here with you
      Though we're far apart
      You're always in my heart
      You are not alone
      
      Alone, alone
      Why, alone
      
      Just the other night
      I thought I heard you cry
      Asking me to come
      And hold you in my arms
      I can hear your prayers
      Your burdens I will bear
      But first I need your hand
      Then forever can begin
      
      Everyday I sit and ask myself
      How did love slip away

      That you are not alone
      For I am here with you
      Though you're far away
      I am here to stay

      Far across the distance and spaces between us
      You have come to show you go on

      Whoa, my love
      My darling
      I've hungered for your touch
      A long, lonely time
      And time goes by so slowly
      And time can do so much
      Are you still mine?
      I need your love
      I need your love
      God speed your love to me
      Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
      To the open arms of the sea
      Lonely rivers sigh, "Wait for me, wait for me
      I'll be coming home, wait for me"
      
      Whoa, my love
      My darling
      I've hungered, hungered for your touch
      A long, lonely time
      And time goes by so slowly
      And time can do so much
      Are you still mine?
      I need your love
      I need your love
      God speed your love to me

  • "The Last Farewell – Roger Whittaker"

    • Self-study task:  What makes you think that this song could have a historical setting? Do you think the singer had a choice? Think about how his life in England was compared to where he is now.

      
      There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbour
      Tomorrow for old England she sails
      Far away from your land of endless sunshine
      To my land full of rainy skies and gales
      And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow
      Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell
      
      For you are beautiful, and I have loved you dearly
      More dearly than the spoken word can tell
      For you are beautiful, and I have loved you dearly
      More dearly than the spoken word can tell
      
      I've heard there's a wicked war a-blazing
      And the taste of war I know so very well
      Even now I see the foreign flag a-raising
      Their guns on fire as we sail into Hell
      I have no fear of death, it brings no sorrow
      But how bitter will be this last farewell
      For you are beautiful, and I have loved you dearly
      More dearly than the spoken word can tell
      For you are beautiful, and I have loved you dearly
      More dearly than the spoken word can tell
      
      Though death and darkness gather all about me
      And my ship be torn apart upon the seas
      I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands
      And the heaving waves that brought me once to thee
      And should I return safe home again to England
      I shall watch the English mist roll through the dale
      
      For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly
      More dearly than the spoken word can tell
      For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly
      More dearly than the spoken word can tell

  • "Those Were the Days – Mary Hopkins"

    • Self-study task:This song is one of nostalgia. What is nostalgia? What makes this song nostalgic?

      
      Once upon a time there was a tavern
      Where we used to raise a glass or two
      Remember how we laughed away the hours
      Dreamed of all the great things we would do?
      
      [Chorus]
      Those were the days, my friend
      We thought they'd never end
      We'd sing and dance forever and a day
      We'd live the life we choose
      We'd fight and never lose
      For we were young and sure to have our way
      La la la la...
      
      Then the busy years went rushing by us
      We lost our starry notions on the way
      If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
      We'd smile at one another and we'd say
      
      
      Those were the days, my friend
      We thought they'd never end
      We'd sing and dance forever and a day
      We'd live the life we choose
      We'd fight and never lose
      Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days
      La la la la...
      
      Just tonight I stood before the tavern
      Nothing seemed the way it used to be
      In the glass, I saw a strange reflection
      Was that lonely woman really me?
      
      Those were the days, my friend
      We thought they'd never end
      We'd sing and dance forever and a day
      We'd live the life we choose
      We'd fight and never lose
      Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days
      La la la la...
      
      Through the door there came familiar laughter
      I saw your face and heard you call my name
      Oh, my friend, we're older but no wiser
      For in our hearts, the dreams are still the same
      
      [Chorus]
      Those were the days, my friend
      We thought they'd never end
      We'd sing and dance forever and a day
      We'd live the life we choose
      We'd fight and never lose
      Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days
      La la la la..

      Please let us come home to stay

      I know our dreams will never die
      Dreams see us through to forever
      Where clouds roll by
      For you and I
      
      When we are out there in the dark
      We'll dream about the sun
      In the dark we'll feel the light
      Warm our hearts...everyone
      
      If we hold on together
      I know our dreams will never die
      Dreams see us through to forever
      As high as souls can fly
      The clouds roll by
      For you and I

  • "Streets of London - Ralph McTell"

    • Self-study task: This very popular folk song paints a bleak image of London. How are words used to do this? What was the profession of the man who sits in the café in the last verse?.

      
      Have you seen the old man
      In the closed-down market
      Kicking up the paper
      With his worn out shoes?
      In his eyes you see no pride
      And held loosely at his side
      Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news
      
      So how can you tell me you're lonely
      And say for you that the sun don't shine?
      Let me take you by the hand and
      Lead you through the streets of London
      Show you something to make you change your mind
      
      Have you seen the old girl
      Who walks the streets of London
      Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags?
      She's no time for talking
      She just keeps right on walking
      Carrying her home in two carrier bags
      
      So how can you tell me you're lonely
      And say for you that the sun don't shine?
      Let me take you by the hand and
      Lead you through the streets of London
      Show you something to make you change your mind
      
      In the all night cafe
      At a quarter past eleven
      Same old man sitting there on his own
      Looking at the world
      Over the rim of his teacup
      Each tea lasts an hour
      And he wanders home alone
      
      So how can you tell me you're lonely
      Don't say for you that the sun don't shine
      Let me take you by the hand and
      Lead you through the streets of London
      Show you something to make you change your mind
      
      Have you seen the old man
      Outside the Seaman's Mission
      Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears
      In our winter city
      The rain cries a little pity
      For one more forgotten hero
      And a world that doesn't care
      
      So how can you tell me you're lonely
      And say for you that the sun don't shine?
      Let me take you by the hand and
      Lead you through the streets of London
      Show you something to make you change your mind
