TASK 3 : Listen to two songs carefully. Discuss with your partner what is happening in the world and how affects you?
There are two songs below. One of them in English is called " I love Pop Music " telling about problems in the world. The other one is in Turkish so I translated into English. Its name is "What is happening in the life?"
I Love Pop Music" Lyrics
Lyrics
I love pop music, this is how we do it
It's politics you can romance to
I love pop music, sprinkle sugar through it
Philosophy that you can dance to
The price of oil is at an all time high and rising (yeah)
Global warming threatens life as we know it on this planet (oh ooh)
And leaders have not committed to a plan of action on renewable energy
The food crisis is currently affecting a hundred million people worldwide
I love pop music, this is how we do it
It's politics you can romance to
I love pop music, sprinkle sugar through it
Philosophy that you can dance to
Turn up the radio
And sing along, like you're all alone
Turn up the radio
And sing along, like you're all alone
There are over 6 billion people on this planet
And not enough fresh drinking water (we're in trouble)
Religious intolerance creating geopolitical instability (shine a light)
Politicians battling each other like professional wrestlers (ooh)
Further division is not the answer, division is not the answer
I love pop music, this is how we do it
It's politics you can romance to
I love pop music, sprinkle sugar through it
Philosophy that you can dance to
Turn up the radio
And sing along, like you're all alone
Turn up the radio
And sing along, like you're all alone
Turn up the radio
Greed and fear seem to be the driving forces of modern life
We're encouraged to consume and consume
With no thought of where it all comes from, and where it all goes
Our lives are accelerating as we fall out of touch
With nature and ancient myth
We're desperately in need of a brand new dream
I love pop music, this is how we do it
It's politics you can romance to
I love pop music, sprinkle sugar through it
Philosophy that you can dance to
I love pop music, this is how we do it
It's politics you can romance to
I love pop music, sprinkle sugar through it
Philosophy that you can dance to
(Turn up the radio)
(And sing along, like you're all alone)
(Turn up the radio)
(And sing along, like you're all alone)
I love pop music, this is how we do it
It's politics you can romance to
I love pop music, sprinkle sugar through it
Philosophy that you can dance to
(Turn up the radio)
(And sing along, like you're all alone)
(Turn up the radio)
(And sing along, like you're all alone)
Turkish Song
What is happening in the life?
I wish the dream would be real
When I wake in the morning, Everything would be the same.
Her voice , it is her, she might come back,
Without me, she can’t live
It is love
İn the dark, in the streets she holds flowers,
She is searching me
She is asking me
I hope it will be good, hey
What is happening in the life?
I wish the dream would be real
When I wake in the morning, Everything would be the same.
