My favourites songs...


Which it’s my favourite song?
I don’t know if I can choose only one, it’s so difficult!,
but I’ll try.
Ok, immediately I think in Postal Service and all their songs, but more specifically in Such Great Heights and the beautiful Against All Odds, a cover of Phil Collins.
I believe that I like these songs because their make me feel happy, I don’t know,
maybe it’s just the music, but the truth is, that after listening to Postal Service always I feel well!

But I cannot forget other songs as the fantastic Space Oddity or Starman of David Bowie and Across The Universe of the Beatles.
Also Do You Realized of Flaming Lips, and Someday of the Strokes; and a bit more Chilean... Un Amor Violento of Los Tres, Miño, Canción de Lejos y Las Cosas Que Cambié y Dejé Por Ti of The Bunkers, and Gracias A la Vida of the great Violeta Parra.
I love all these songs since they are an important part of the soundtrack of my life.













For my, more important than the lyrics, it´s the feeling that provokes a song or to which moment takes us.

Then, how I could choose?
Of all forms, here is the lyrics of the song Such Great Heights... Dedicated to all the classmates of the course of English.
Ok we meet...


Such Great Heights


I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles
In our eyes are mirror images and when
We kiss they're perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate that God himself
Did make us into corresponding shapes like
Puzzle pieces from the clay.

And true, it may seem like a stretch, but
Its thoughts like this that catch my troubled
Head when you're away when I am missing you to death
When you are out there on the road for
Several weeks of shows and when you scan
The radio, I hope this song will guide you home

They will see us waving from such great
Heights, 'come down now,' they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away,
'come down now,' but we'll stay...

I tried my best to leave this all on your
Machine but the persistent beat it sounded
Thin upon listening
That frankly will not fly. you will hear
The shrillest highs and lowest lows with
The windows down when this is guiding you home

Hi nancy.
I think it was great that you added chilean songs to your list. i don´t know why I didn´t do it. Some times we close our minds to english music and we don´t see our own culture.

good for that. see you on wednesday
