I've found this old song by the 'classic' Supertramp. Good to enjoy and revise wishes.

ReplyDeleteRegarding the song I like the lirycs but I can not say anything about the music because I can not listen it on the computer where I am.
Oh I wish I´d been a popstar,... :P
I agree Ella Fitzgerald. I cannot either listen it on the computer.
ReplyDeleteSee you
Well, from my point of view, the words “SISTER MOONSHINE” can have two means. On the one hand, when Roger Hodgson sings …“If you lock your dreams away. If no one wants to listen what’s the story”… “Cause surrounded by these walls. Just makes me feel uneasy”… “Oh, fly above the pain but, I know I’m only foolin”… “I said, Hey, sister moonshine. Won’t you send a little sun?, I try to understand that maybe Roger's turning to alcohol to escape from the difficulties in his life: the verses imply loneliness, regret, and pain. Now that he's an adult, he drinks to escape. "Sister Moonshine" is his only friend. Moreover, Roger's simply personifying actual moonlight. That's essentially what moonlight is, a little sun in the middle of the night. Perhaps the darkness of the night symbolizes his sadness.
ReplyDeleteAnd on the other hand, sunlight symbolizes childhood's innocence and imagination, "Oh when I was a small boy. Well, I could see the magic in a day. If I was a lion well, I could be the king off all the lains…”." Now that he's grown, he's lost sight of his dreams, and is shrouded in permanent nighttime. He knows he can't return to childhood entirely, but still he hopes to regain a small of imagination and ambition by asking Sister Moonshine to send them; to give him the secret to enjoying himself; to light up the sky and his life.
At any rate, I think this is a good song
Yes--- my dear ones...
ReplyDeleteNEITHER CAN I!!!
Shame on me and on the copyright stuff

Hi, Dulce!
ReplyDeleteThe Third Conditional's exercise is useful to practice and reinforce what we have covered in class.
My score was excellent! I'm so happy.
Thank you, Dulce.
Bye
P.S. : If I hadn't done the exercise, I wouldn't have known my score.

Hi everybody,
ReplyDeleteWe are just running to the edge, I wish time hadn't gone so fast!
with respect to environmental issues this days, "If we had had the opportunity to change our minds, our children would have been able to enjoy Nature!
Surely, we will say this in a few years! Fortunately, we all become eco-aware in English classes!
Nice excercises!
an eco-friendly hug!
