Hi everyone!

This time I have a very interesting question for you: If you had to choose your favorite 5 albums (or songs) which ones would they be, and why?

Here’s mine:

  1. Las Flores by Café Tacvba because this song reminds me when I met a very special person in my life. (I guess you know who I’m talking about)
  2. Habana by Fito Páez, this song was playing in my stereo when my sister called me and told me that one of my uncles had an accident and died.
  3. Play by Moby because this is the album that got me into electronic music.
  4. Distractions by Zero 7 because I really never get tired of listening Sia’s voice, the song is just simply beautiful.
  5. Damn! I really can’t think of a fifth song right now. I guess I’ll tell you later.

P.s. I’ve uploaded the Carta Descriptiva for all of you who don’t know it yet. Carta Descriptiva Inglés 4

1. Umbrella by Rihanna, because this song are in, it lyrics is cool, it rhythm is cool too and it won in MTV VMA 2007 the title of “The monster single of the year”.
2. Bring me to life by Evanescence, actually this song was the first single of this group and it was the song most wanted of 2003 in MTVla too.
3. My inmortal by Evanescence, following with this group (one of my favorites), this song is in first album too and it’s amazing.
4. Helena by My Chemical Romance, other of my favorite groups, this song was the most wanted of 2004 in MTVla and its video is cool. The guitar player is very good. You should listen this song.

Hi guys!
well this exercise is very difficult for my because my I like many songs but i`ll choose my favorits.
These songs represent some significant moment of my life.
1.- “Carta a Francia” by Fernando Delgadillo I like very much this song because I remember a person that I love very much and that at this moment I cant be to her side.
2.- “Entre pairos y derivas” the same autor. This song is one of my favorites because also it makes me remember this person about whom i speaks in the first song and I like because it doesnt matter if something happens always will remember to her.
3.- “Guerras perdidas” by Bacilos. This song remembers me a mistake that I committed and that changed my life but I like because that of the mistakes is learned.
4.- “it´s too late” by Evermore. well with this song i remember all the moments that i have lived with my friends, the parties, the problems and everything that we have passed together.
5.- “Sería facil” by Luis Fonsi. Actually this song doesnt belong to my favorites but id choose it because i remember a person who has become very important in my life into these moments and she likes very much this song.

hello!!!

Good, for speaking of the five songs that I like is a little difficult, because they are so many those that I love that to choose single 5 he is a little hard.

nevertheless I choose single 5 although I like many:
1.- first is “Si tu te vas” by Alejandro Fernandez
because this song remembers to me when I was 18 years and everything in he highschool was great.
2.-The second is “Te conozco” by Arjona. This song is wonderful for me, with this single I remember one girl much special. Our history was complicated and in the end I don´t work, but he was pretty.
3.- The following one is very special because I sing to my girlfriend time recently. It is SHE´S THE ONE by Robbie and I keep a great affection to it… to the song and my girlfriend!!
4.- The next song is little known. The first time that listens to it was in the TV series Smallville, it´s called “You and me” and it sings Lifehouse. This song also remembers a good relation to me of some years ago.
5.- The ending is one by Alejandro Sanz and is “Y si fuera ella”. This song speaks of the past and the present, the things that happen before, now and will happened. He is a little difficult to understand, but all his sings are it.

Well, another thing, I want speak a little of my favorit bands or groups: there are, La Quinta Estacion, Cafe Tacvba, Jaguares (When they called Caifanes, too). And much “gruperos and Bandas”.

OK, this is all.

See you soon!!

HIII!!

UFF.. I have a lot of favorite songs, I love the music because It´s a good way to express us with the letters and the videos all kind of feelings and thoughts.

I have listened music in all my life and for that reason It´s easy for me choose my five favorite songs:

Pure Morning-Placebo: I like this song because the letter and the video are excellent. I recommend it to everybody, you will love this group.

Time is Running Out-Muse: This band has a very good sound in all their songs and in anything put an incredible energy and passion for that reasons I like this band.

Creep-RadioHead: I love this song because it express the feelings of one guy in love and the letter of the song It´s for her in a form very poetic.

All if full of love-Bjork: This girl is very talented and she has a particular voice. I love this song because I find interesting the letter and the video is very cool in it we can see the love between two robots and how, to they, nothing else matters.

The Cure: This band is of the time of the classic rock and their songs are very cool for the excellent sound and for the dark look of the singer.

that It´s all, I can recommend other bands and songs but in another occasion.

see you guys.

My life and the music

Hi guys and teacher:!!!!!!

This question is very difficult for me because I like many kind of the music and also I have a lot of favorites songs and albums. Well this is my selection:

1. “Las cosas que vives” of Laura Pausini. I chose this song for two reasons: the first is because Laura Pausini is one of my favorites singers. I really love the Laura’s style. The second reason is because this song talk about friendship and that is something very important for me. I think the friends are the family chosen by ourselves.
2. “Let’s talk about love” of Celine Dion because this singer is my favorite. I think your songs always have a good message and what thing is more important that the love?
3. “I’m alive” (live version) of the same singer. Really I have a lot of favorites songs this singer but I chose these songs because they have been in important moments of my life and they have helped to change my thinking about some things.
4. “Huelo a Soledad” of Ana Gabriel. Celine Dion is my favorite singer in English so Ana Gabriel is my favorite singer in Spanish. I love how sing, how write and specially I enjoy so much her shows. Talking about this song I have to admit that it is one of the songs sadder by her, however I knew it at the saddest moment of my life. Although this moment passed I still like this song.
5. For finishing this selection I have the album “Lo que te contè mientras te hacìas la dormida” uff!!! How you can see the title is some long. This album belong to La Oreja de Van Gogh and I chose because it was the first album of which I like all the songs because each one I remember myself many stages in my life.

Well, it was difficult to choose but I think these songs and album have been importants in my life.

Bye
