TASK.-
Look for the Antonyms of the following words that appear in the lyrics of the song "Euphoria":
Donna Summer is an American singer-songwriter
who died a few days ago (May 17th, 2012) in Florida.
She was considered "The Queen of Disco"
and was really famous during the late 1970's.
I'm a 70's baby ang grew up with her songs.
I particularly remember...
her "Last Dance"...
... A really nice voice.
Let's pay tribute to Donna Summer with her
"Last Dance"(1978)
Last dance / Last chance for love / Yes, it's my last chance / For romance tonight /
I need you by me / Beside me, to guide me / To hold me, to scold me /
'Cause when I'm bad / I'm so bad.
So let's dance the last dance / let's dance the last dance / let's dance this last dance tonight /
Yeah, will you be my Mr Right / Can you fill my appetite / I can't be sure / That you're the one for me / But all that I ask / is that you dance with me / Dance with me, yeah.
We (You & Me) often complain about small silly things.
We (You & Me) are NOT stupid,
but We (You & Me) Sometimes complain about stupid things.
We (You & Me) usually complain about little things that
- to tell you the truth- are NOT important at all.
Next time, before starting complaining,
... PLEASE ...
think about Nick Vujicic ...
just for a second...
Nicholas James Vujicic (born 4 December 1982) is an Australian motivational speaker born with tetra-amelia syndrome, a rare disorder characterized by the absence of all four limbs. As a child, he struggled mentally and emotionally, as well as physically, but eventually came to terms with his disability and, at the age of seventeen, started his own non-profit organization, "Life Without Limbs".
(Wikipedia)
Probably, ( I'm sure ),
something will change on your mind
after watching the following video song
"Something More", sang by Nick Vujicic ...
* Now Listen to the song "Something More" and Order the lines from the Chorus
(from 1'38'' to 2'05'')
(...) I see it in the stars, I feel it on the shore
(...) Than what we're living for
(...) I don't wanna waste another day, or night
(...) I don't wanna die
(...) I know there's something more
(...) I know there's something more
(...) I know there's something SELF-CORRECTION.-

By the way...
Don't you think that Nick Vujicic is simply an example to follow for all of us in our everyday life?
Can you play a musical instrument and dance at the same time?
Have you ever seen a violinist playing the violin and dancing simultaneously?
She is Incredible!
She plays the violin with passion.
She is a very talented violinist and adds her own style to violin music.
STOP !!
If you think (like some of my students) that Violin Music is ...
SAD
SERIOUS
QUIET / CALM
BORING
Watch the following video
and look up (or check ) the Antonyms of the 4 previous adjectives !!
I hope you like it!
We all know that
everybody has a different taste of music.
You may like or dislike the violin.
But I'm sure about one thing...
You will agree that
She has a unique style of playing the violin:
Because she can combine the 2 things she loves:
Playing th violin
&
Dancing that type of music.
To tell you the truth... I like her!
And I don't like only what she does but also how she thinks.
Because -in my opinion- both are interconnected.
According to her own words... "Through my unique style of playing, I want to prove that you don't have to conform to be accepted".
The important thing is the philosophy
of being yourself and being unique.
In other words,
The greatest value comes from
loving yourself for who you are.
To illustrate this idea, let's consider the following video
as an excellent example of her performance as a unique artist...
Watch it !
&
Enjoy it !
Do you like the "Shadows" ?
Just to finish,
A Final Thought: "Don't judge people / things (or music), before you really get to know them."
Remember the English Idiom...
"Appearances can be deceiving"
("Las apariencias engañan"- in Spanish).
