Your Favourite Song

Hello there everyone again! :)
I'm still grading your final exams and I thought that, while you wait (impatiently, I can only imagine...) for
the results, you may want to comment on your favourite song (in English, if possible!). I actually saw this post on Randall's blog and found it so interesting that I wanted to post it for you.
Here's how it goes. Think about your favourite song (or one from your own "top ten") and share it with us. Don't forget to say what makes it so special for you, if it brings back any cherished memories, what the lyrics mean to you... well, just about anything that you want to let us know about it!
As for me, this would actually be quite tough, since I'm such a music lover that choosing only one might take me years at best. Besides, some of the ones I like the most are not in English, but I guess it would be one by Dave Matthews Band, Coldplay, U2, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, Neil Finn or the like.

I expect your comments and I'll be more than happy to learn about new songs and artists!! So, go right ahead!!

ufffff!!!
IT´S VERY COMPLICATED TO CHOOSE ONE!
I LISTEN TO GROUPS AS RHCP, GREEN DAY,KEANE,U2, COLD PLAY (SPECIALLY X&Y),SECOND (A GROUP FROM MUCIA), M-CLAN,NELLY FURTADO, SHANYA TWAIN, ANASTACIA,LENNY KRAVITZ...
AND SOME OLDFASHIONED GROUPS AS WELL (JUST IN MY FRIKI MOMENTS).
BUT IF I HAD TO CHOOSE THE MOST SPECIALL SONG FOR ME...IT WOULD BE A SONG BY BON JOVI CALLED "BORN TO BE MY BABY" (ACOUSTIC VERSION, IN "THIS LEFT FEELS RIGHT" 2003).
WE LOVE THIS SONG (ANA -my girlfriend- AND ME) BECAUSE...WELL, JUST LISTEN TO IT AND YOU´LL FIND IT!!!
(THE ACOUSTIC GUITAR SOLO IS GREAT)

PD: LISTEN TO SECOND (THE GROUP FROM MURCIA). THEY STARTED THEIR CARREER SINGING IN ENGLISH, THOUGH THE HAVE RELEASED THEIR LAST ALBUM IN SPANISH.

LETRA DE LA CANCION BON JOVI - BORN TO BE MY BABY (THIS LEFT FEELS RIGHT)

Rainy night and we worked all day
We both got jobs caus there's bills to pay
We got something they can't take away
Our love, our lives

Close the door, leave the cold outside
I don't need nothing when I'm by your side
We got something that'll never die
Our dreams, our pride

My heart beats like a drum (all night)
Flesh to flesh, one to one (and it's alright)
And I'll never let go cause
There's something I know deep inside

You were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man
We got something to believe in
Even if we don't know where we stand
Only God would know the reasons
But I bet he must have had a plan
Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

Light a candle, blow the world away
Table for two on a TV tray
It ain't fancy, baby that's OK
Our time, our way

So hold me close better hand on tight
Buckle up, baby, it's a bumpy ride
We're two kids hitching down the road of life
Our world, our flight

If we stand side by side (all night)
There's a chance we'll get by (and it's alright)
And I'll know that you'll be live
In my heart till the day I die

Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man
We got something to believe in
Even if we don't know where we stand
Only God would know the reasons
But I bet he must have had a plan
Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

My heart beats like a drum (all night)
Flesh to flesh, one to one (and it's alright)
And I'll never let go cause
There's something I know deep inside
Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man
We got something to believe in
Even if we don't know where we stand
Only God would know the reasons
But I bet he must have had a plan
Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man
You were born to be my baby
And baby, I was made to be your man

Thank you, folks!! :) Both songs are very nice. I've never been much of a Bon Jovi fan, but they have good songs. There's no denying that. These lyrics remind me of "Living on a prayer" a bit.
I think it's really sweet to have a special song with one's partner, it makes it more special!!

Thanks for your comments Vanesa and Antonio!!!!

anthony said...

WELL, NOT JUST A BIT.
IN FACT, IT´S VERY SIMILAR TO "LIVING ON A PRAYER", I MEAN, IT´S THE SAME MESSAGE USING DIFFERENT WORDS (KEEP ON FIGHTING, DON´T GIVE UP,KEEP THE FAITH...BLA BLA).
MOST OF THEIR SONGS TALK ABOUT THESE KIND OF TOPICS (NOT MUCH IMAGINATION WITH THE LYRICS, I AGREE, BUT THEY ARE GREAT MELODY MAKERS AND RICHI SAMBORA IS A GREAT GUITAR PLAYER AND COMPOSER).
I´M GONNA STOP WRITTING CAUSE I DON´T WANNA "MONOPOLIZE" THE BLOG, LOL.(JUST VANESSA HAS WRITTEN STH)
I´M AFRAID I HAVE MUCH FREE TIME AT WEEKENDS.

It's fine, Antonio. You don't monopolize the blog. There's no point in keeping a blog for students if they don't collaborate!!
I really appreciate it.
Besides, I prefer your comments to those claiming freedom for Moldova... lol
See you!! ;)
