I just learned that the chorus says ‘simple thing’. I always thought he said, ‘sympathy’! I walked across an empty land I knew the pathway like the back of my hand I felt the earth beneath my feet Sat by the river and it made me complete Oh simple thing where have you gone I’m [...]

Il s’agit des effets de drogues, probablement! On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night There she stood [...]

When I was a teenager the only thing I liked about this song was the guitar solo by Eddie Van Halen. As a white boy in middle England, I was never likely to be able to dance like MJ!
Rest in peace, Michael Jackson, people like you weren’t made for this world.

Une bonne façon de pratiquer l’expression, ‘you gotta’ (tu dois, il faut que tu…). Bien qu’un peu familier en anglais, elle est très répandue chez les anglophones: you gotta understand it if you wanna speak English!

La chanson légendaire de Queen, avec paroles et traduction. Regardez le clip, lisez les paroles, faites l’exercice de compréhension.
Is this the real life -
Is this just fantasy -
Caught in a landslide -
No escape from reality -
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see -
I’m just a poor boy, I need no sympathy -
Because I’m easy come, easy go,
Little high, little low,
Anyway the wind blows, doesn’t really matter to me -

One of the first songs to express concern about exploitation of the Earth’s resources. Out where the river broke The bloodwood and the desert oak Holden wrecks and boiling diesels Steam in forty five degrees The time has come To say fair’s fair To pay the rent To pay our share The time has come [...]

This is a good song to practise ‘gonna’ (going to) What would you think if I sang out of tuneWould you stand up and walk out on meLend me your ears and I’ll sing you a songAnd I’ll try not to sing out of key Oh, I get by with a little help from my [...]

I used to rule the worldSeas would rise when I gave the wordNow in the morning I sleep aloneSweep the streets I used to own I used to roll the diceFeel the fear in my enemy’s eyesListen as the crowd would sing“Now the old king is dead, long live the king” One minute I held [...]
