First Posting of Music. . .
Music is the part of art, so that I write about music in my blog tonight. In
tonight's posting I will explain about how to increase our language learning
from a song. In this context is also about vocabulary, pronunciation, etc, and
also still about English. For example, let's hear this song...
HOW TO INCREASE OUR LANGUAGE LEARNING FROM A SONG LYRICS?
First Step...
Try to identified the artist and the title of the song
example :
This song was singing by the popular American Post-hardcore band from
Florida, Sleeping With Sirens. The title of this song is "All My
Heart".
Second Step...
Try to write the lyrics of the song that you get from hearing the song
example :
There's so many things that I could
say
But I'm sure it would come out all
wrong
You got something that I can't
explain,
Still try and try and let you know
That first summer we spent's one
we'll never forget,
Looking for any kind of reason to
escape all the mess that
We thought was what made us
Ain't it funny now? We can see
We're who we're meant to be
Refr :
You still have all of my
You still have all of my
You still have all my heart
Third Step...
Try to translate it into your own language
example (English-Indonesian) :
There's so many things that I could say (Terlalu banyak yg ingin ak ucapkan)
But I'm sure it would come out all wrong (Tapi ak yakin itu malah akan
membuatmu salah paham)
You got something that I can't explain, (Kau memiliki sesuatu yg tak bisa ak
ungkapkan)
Still try and try and let you know (Namun terus mencoba dan kucoba untuk
membuatmu mengetahuinya)
That first summer we spent's one we'll never forget, (Musim panas pertama
yang kita lewatkan bersama yang takkan pernah kulupakan)
Looking for any kind of reason to escape all the mess that (Mencari sebuah
alasan untuk terbebas dari segala kekacauan ini)
We thought was what made us (Yang kita pikir hal itulah yang mempersatukan
kita)
Ain't it funny now? We can see (Tidakkah hal itu menjadi lelucon kini?
Walaupun kita mengetahuinya)
We're who we're meant to be (Kita adalah kita yang bersatu saat ini)
Refr :
You still have all of my (Dirimu tetaplah pemilik seluruhnya) (2x)
You still have all of my heart (Dirimu tetaplah pemilik seluruh hatiku)
Four Step...
Try to find the meaning that the song want to tell us
example :
This song want to tell us that "be a better and stonger person for the
person who very you love". In this context, it's not only for your
boy/girlfriend, but it can also for your parents or your brother/sister.
And then, try to another song that you like and do the four steps that I
writed from my own experience. You must do that because it's very funny and can
help you to increase your language learning while enjoy the music.
Let's try it...
