Here, they explain what led them to choose a particular song.]]> 2023-05-11 08:17:05 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586831309 emiliegeorges31 https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586832110 For my oral presentation, the song I picked was ‘The Other Woman’ by Nina Simone released in 1959 but I was presenting the cover version by Lana Del Rey released in 2014. I have selected the cover version because I am a big fan of Lana Del Rey and I loved the way she transformed the song; she made the song hers by adding some of her recognizable effects, if it’s either the rhythm or the instrumentals. I really like the song because anyone can relate to it, it can be interpreted as someone cheating or being jealous of someone better than us (insecurity).]]> 2023-05-11 08:17:46 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586832110 emiliegeorges31 https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586833672 For my oral presentation, I picked ‘Two of us’ by Louis Tomlinson. It has been released in 2020, three years after Louis's mom’s death. The reason why I chose this song is because it reminds me of my grandfather who died six and a half years ago. We were very close, and like Louis, his death impacted me a lot. Indeed, I can somehow relate to this feeling of loss and melancholy.]]> 2023-05-11 08:19:07 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586833672 emiliegeorges31 https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586836753 2023-05-11 08:21:34 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586836753 emiliegeorges31 https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586869907 I chose the music ‘Born to die’ by Lana Del Rey for my oral because it's a music that I really like. I also chose it because the lyrics have a deep meaning and reflect on the negative effects of a toxic relationship and drugs.]]> 2023-05-11 08:46:53 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586869907 emiliegeorges31 https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586870872 I chose the song ‘Gorgeous’ by Taylor Swift to present the bonds between people because one can easily identify with the lyrics and the song of love with a unique meaning at least once in their life. Since it has already been the case for me, I learned a very good lesson from the fact that you have to dare to speak to your secret love.]]> 2023-05-11 08:47:25 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586870872 emiliegeorges31 https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586871152 I have chosen ‘In the stars’ firstly because I enjoy listening to this sort of music and secondly because the subject means a lot to me. The song also illustrates a relationship that does not exist anymore but the bond that connected Benson Boone and his grandmother reveals how strong could have been their relationship. Finally, the atmosphere given by the song lets us imagine what the singer can feel and it might also touch many people because losing someone is hard to live.]]> 2023-05-11 08:47:40 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586871152 emiliegeorges31 https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586871568 I have chosen this song, ‘Another Love’, because the story it told moved me and I decided to present it to share my feelings and give others the will to listen to it.]]> 2023-05-11 08:47:59 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586871568 emiliegeorges31 https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586873668 I presented ‘Water Fountain’ by Alec Benjamin because it’s a song that I really like and listened to a lot during the pandemic. I already worked on it in my European class in quatrième (eighth grade / year 9).]]> 2023-05-11 08:49:36 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586873668 emiliegeorges31 https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586874023 I presented ‘traitor’ by Olivia Rodrigo because I really like this song but mostly the melody. Also, the lyrics are very deep and I can find myself in them.]]> 2023-05-11 08:49:53 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586874023 emiliegeorges31 https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586874281 I chose this song, ‘Say you won’t let go’ by James Arthur, because it features a strong bond between two lovers, it looks like a perfect relationship. What struck me the most was the way he described their relationship as it seems like a pure love.]]> 2023-05-11 08:50:05 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586874281 emiliegeorges31 https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586874679 I have chosen the song ‘Do I wanna know’ sung by the group Arctic Monkeys because I like the genre of the alternative rock and also because the song talks about love, even if it is an unrequited love.]]> 2023-05-11 08:50:23 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586874679 emiliegeorges31 https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586875075 I chose this music, ‘Reflections’, because the song shows an atmosphere that I like, slow and soft. I think the emotions of the writer were well expressed dure to the singer and the lyrics and I love the song due to the emotions we can feel when we are listening to it.]]> 2023-05-11 08:50:41 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586875075 emiliegeorges31 https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586875344 First of all, The Cure is a band that I particularly love and ‘Pictures of you’ is one of their songs that I prefer. I like the catchy melody which takes a lot of space in the music and the was that Robert Smith sings the lyrics like he’s full of pain. I think it’s a beautiful song which works perfectly with the oral’s theme.]]> 2023-05-11 08:50:54 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586875344 emiliegeorges31 https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586875679 I chose this music, ‘Hope’ by NF, because its clip is very stylized and absorbing and themes are very interesting because we can identify with the rapper and his worries (family problems, anxiety and dark thoughts in his head). These difficult to accessible themes can be easily expressed through this music.]]> 2023-05-11 08:51:08 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586875679 emiliegeorges31 https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586876049 I chose this song, ‘Love me like there’s no tomorrow’, because it is my favorite. I also think the story behind this song is very touching and the subject is important and needs more visibility. It helps break the taboo of homosexuality and AIDS, which might help the people concerned feel understood and less alone.]]> 2023-05-11 08:51:27 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586876049 emiliegeorges31 https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586876321 I chose the music ‘Teen Romance’ by Lil Peep because this music reminds me of my own love story with a girl and our relationship. This music makes me feel safe and calm. Moreover, I love Lil Peep. He’s an artist I appreciate a lot. His confidence, his way of thinking and his style influenced me. He’s a real legend for the evaluation of his music style.]]> 2023-05-11 08:51:41 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586876321 emiliegeorges31 https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586876605 I have chosen ‘The night we met’ by Lord Huron because it’s one of my favorite songs. Furthermore, I think it is a song many people can relate to, because it talks about two characters who have been separated, but it can be because of a breakup or because of the death of a person. The advantage is that each person can interpret it as they want, so it’s interesting. I also really like the chorus at the beginning, the rhythm of the song, and the instruments used. This song thus makes us feel emotions (sadness, melancholia…). To conclude, I think this song is very good and beautiful.]]> 2023-05-11 08:51:56 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586876605 emiliegeorges31 https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586876981 I have chosen ‘I just wanna know’ by NF, because I like this singer very much, I also think it is one of his greatest songs and the feelings in the lyrics are really good.]]> 2023-05-11 08:52:13 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586876981 emiliegeorges31 https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586877294 I have chosen the music ‘Our love’ by Curtis Harding and Sullivan because when I hear this song, I feel good. This music makes me happy and when I am listening to it, it seems like everything is possible. So, for me, this song can make us travel in our minds so it is peaceful.]]> 2023-05-11 08:52:27 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586877294 emiliegeorges31 https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586877991 I picked this song, ‘Die for you’ by The Weeknd, because I like the artist and it’s one of my favorite songs in the album. I also love the lyrics and the intense rhythm of the song. It represents an intense, very dramatic love that I like.]]> 2023-05-11 08:53:01 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586877991 emiliegeorges31 https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586878247 I picked the song ‘Are we still friends’, by Tyler, The Creator, because he is an artist that I love and I think his album Igor is a really good example of relationships between people.]]> 2023-05-11 08:53:17 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586878247 emiliegeorges31 https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586878554 I have chosen ‘Love of my life’ by Freddie Mercury as the music for the presentation because I like this singer. I think that the lyrics are touching when the singer speaks of his lover. He describes his feelings through words and through the music. I liked feeling his feelings.]]> 2023-05-11 08:53:31 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586878554 emiliegeorges31 https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586879248 I chose to present ‘Days’ by the Kinks because the sweet melody and tone of the lyrics starkly contrast with the sad theme of loss after the speaker’s lover has either died or broken things off with him. Indeed, the sweetness of the song emphasises feelings of gratitude and hope over more painful ones of grief or resentment.]]> 2023-05-11 08:54:05 UTC https://padlet.com/emiliegeorges31/l5nmfaah28gl5hxo/wish/2586879248
