because people speak English
Hello to everyone! Welcome to my workshop : )
Here, you can listen to my recordings. I admit, I'm not a good singer. But I'm doing these activities to improve my English Speaking Skills ( pronunciation, accent and intonation). This would be one of the perfect ways to have fun and enhance my confidence.
For my first recording, this is a memorable one. I chose "Top of the World" by The Carpenters since I'm feeling like on the top of the world when I learned that MyEC featured me as one of the Star Members for this month! The word "YOU" in this song refers to my friends here in Englishclub for their support and appreciation on my videos, blogs and discussions. I hope you'll like it. Cheers!
P.S.
It would be really interesting to hear your songs too!
Top of the World
By: The Carpenters
Such a feelin's comi'n over me
There is wonder in most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream
Everything I want the world to be
Is now comin' true especially for me
And the reason is clear, it's because you are hear
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
Somethin' in the wind has learned my name
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
This is my second karaoke version. "You got a Friend" by James Taylor. I dedicate this song to my close friend who is having a personal problem. Cheer up my dear!
You Got a Friend
Sang By: James Taylor
Written By: Dianne Warren
When you're down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, and nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running, to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And I'll be there
You got a friend
If the sky above you
Should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north winds begin to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
Soon I'll be knocking upon your door
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running, to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And I'll be there
Ain't it good to know that you got a friend
People can be so cold
They'll hurt you and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
Hey now all you've got to do is call
Lord I'll be there yes I will
You got a friend
You got a friend
Ain't it good to know
You got a friend
Ain't it good to know
You got a friend
Hello! This is my third Karaoke version. One of my favorite music collaborations for this year. Moves Just like Jagger is making waves on different radio stations here in my country. A feel good song indeed! I hope you'll like it.
Moves Just Like Jagger
Maroon 5 feat. Christina Aguilera
Just shoot for the stars
If it feels right
Then aim for my heart
If you feel like
Can take me away
And make it OK
I swear I'll behave
You wanted control
Sure we waited
I put on a show
Now I make it
You say I'm a kid
My ego is bigI don't give a crap
And it goes like this
Chorus:
Take me by the tongue
And I'll know you
Kiss me till your drunk
And I'll show you
You want the moves like Jagger
I got the moves like Jagger
I got the moves.....like Jagger
I don't even try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you
You with the moves like Jagger
I got the moves like Jagger
I got the moves......like Jagger
Baby, it's hard
And it feel like you're broken and scarred
Nothing feels right
But when you're with me
I make you believe
That I've got the key
So get in the car
We can ride it Wherever you want
Get inside it
And you want to steer
But I'm shifting gears
I'll take it from hereAnd it goes like this
Repeat Chorus
I got the moves.... like Jagger
Bridge:
You want to know how to make me smile
Take control
Own me just for the night
But if I share my secret
You gonna have to keep it
Nobody else can see this
So watch and learn
I won't show you twice
Head to toe
Oh baby, roll me right
But if I share my secret
You gonna have to keep it
Nobody else can see this
Hey, hey, hey yeah.....
And it goes like this
Repeat Chorus
My favorite Christmas songs. This is the season to be jolly..... : )
