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.

This is a very old song, the year may be older than our friends, but a good song can always be like a fine wine, the more you listen to it, the more you can get back to it, and you will never get tired of listening to it!

"I'm Leaving It Up To You" was written and sung by Don Harris and Dewey Terry in 1957. But it wasn't until 1963, when it was covered by singers Dale and Grace, that it became popular and reached the top of the pop charts that year. And eleven years later, in 1974, the brothers and sisters Donny and Marie Osmond covered the song again, and they were able to reach No. 5 on the pop song chart again!

Judging from the content of the lyrics, there may be some conflicts between the singer and her/his lover, and there is some estrangement between each other, but despite this, the two still love each other deeply, and leave the decision of "whether they can continue to the front edge" to the other party to make a decision - "I'm Leaving It Up To You I am leaving it up to you". Show the willingness to get back together at any time!

Check out Dale and Grace's top-of-the-list version now, and I hope you enjoy it too.
