This is the last week of our 6-week-program "Let's talk".
And today I'm gonna ask you a really easy or a really difficult question - namely What's your favourite song in English? Why? I've thought long and hard which song I'd choose to be my number one. And I must say the choice is not the easiest as I generally enjoy listening to music. But there's one song that I always like coming back to. The lyrics come from a poem Those Dancing Days Are Gone by William Butler Yeats. I absolutely love the poem, as I guess "I carry the sun in a golden cup and the moon in a silver bag" and my dancing days are definitely gone. The song is sung by Carla Bruni. You can listen to it HERE. Please share your choices in the comments below.

So many I like but the first that I thought about was Stand by me by Tracy Chapman. It makes me stronger and helps me believe in people and friendship.

I love the song but not by Beyonce. Sorry. I don't know if you've heard Ane Brun's version. Wow.

One of the best songs that I can listen all the time is the Drowning Man of U2. I love it for the strong guitar sound and lyrics full of symbols. This is a U2 song which is not very popular, besides it has never been performed live. I can’t figure why?

Hello everybody, there are many important artists. For example Freddy Mercury with Queen, Jimmy Hendrix, George Michael etc. But today I would like to give thirst place to composer. George Gerswhin. He composed very beautiful song from Porgy&Bess musical. Song was named Summertime. Thirst link is from musical, second consist title performed by Jennis Joplin. O! Jennis is great too. Enjoy the ride ;)
