Weida "Gemini Perspective"

The creation of songs is generally regarded as a mode of performing arts, a kind of leisure and entertainment for the public!

Personally, I think that songs are not just performance arts or entertainment, and most songs are works with multi-layered cultural connotations. Songs have both poetic charm and touching rhythms, which express the author's views and emotions, and some lyrics will have a complete story that reflects the values and phenomena of contemporary society. Because of such a rich connotation, listening to and singing nostalgic English songs is the most suitable tool for me to learn about the culture of Western countries and learn their language.

This column "Appreciation of Good Songs, Listening to Songs to Learn English" hopes to share nostalgic English old songs, so that friends who want to improve their English skills can have an easier channel to learn English. By sharing the author's inspiration when writing the song and the background of the time at that time, this is equivalent to providing a "context" for learning English, so as to improve English thinking> improve flexible understanding of English> and improve English expression skills.

Most of the nostalgic English songs shared in "Gemini Perspective" are slower and easy to master, and some of them have story content, with simple and beautiful words and correct grammar. It is well worth using as a reference for learning English. At the back of each song, learning points are also integrated, and some noteworthy points are given to the friends to wake up.

The song "Moody River" was released by Pat Boone in May 1961 and reached the number one spot on the pop charts in June of the same year.

This is a love tragedy, the content of which is about a man (the singer) who originally made an appointment with his lover to meet the old oak tree by the river, but found one of her gloves and a note by the river, it turned out that she had committed suicide by throwing herself into the river! The note explained that she felt sorry for him because she had betrayed him, but she did not want to lie and argue that she was just a friend, and she could not bear the reproach of her conscience, and could not tolerate the harm and guilt of the singer, so she committed suicide by throwing herself into the river and returning him to freedom.

This girl is still a good girl, and it is rare for her to be able to reflect on her own mistakes! But I don't think it is advisable to use the method of suicide to deal with love problems! She is too irresponsible! After all, life is precious! As long as you communicate well and don't make mistakes again and again, it's fine. Although he was free, he also left his grief behind! What do you think?
