Dear 4B,
I was thinking about our weekly journalling...
Since you share your thoughts, why not I do the same too? :)
So, from this week, I will also pen down my thoughts on the journal topic.
This week is about our favourite music and I love music!
I usually listen to my MP3 on my bus and train journeys and though the iPhone has resulted in me watching more Youtube videos, music is still a favourite.
When I was young, I did not have much opportunities to listen to English music as we normally tuned in to the Tamil radio station. So, when it comes to Tamil songs, I am like a walking encyclopedia!
As I grew up, I started learning about English songs from my friends.
Even now, my knowledge of English songs is quite limited but much better compared to the best (watching the series Glee helped).
These days,
my MP3 player has the following folders:
English
Tamil
Hindi
Telugu
Chinese
Korean
For the last two languages, the songs I listen to are normally the OST (Original Sound Track) of my favourite dramas.
I believe that music does not need one to understand the language - emotions can be conveyed just by music alone.
Language enhances the appreciation for the music.
Another favourite of mine is instrumentals!
I like to listen to music pieces that don't have words - especially instrumentals on Guitar, Piano & Veenai (a traditional Indian instrument).
Music can also comfort you when you are sad and make you feel happy when you need a boost in the morning (especially when you are coming to school on a rainy morning ;)).
I love to look out of the window and listen to songs on long bus rides.
As you can see, my music interests are rather varied :)
Hope you enjoyed reading this post!
Love,
Ms Priya :)
PS here's one of my favourite piano instrumentals for you to enjoy :)
