Do they know it's Xmas? (Band Aid)

Band Aid was a group of famous pop stars who produced a song in 1984 to raise money for Ethiopia.
They came together with one message: make poverty history. 

The initiative raised millions of pounds and saved many lives.
Twenty years later, British pop stars of 2004 decided to record a new version of the same song with a similar objective.

It's got beatiful lyrics. Sing along and have fun with the song!

Music to dance and learn!

Hi guys, I'm proud of present you some song that are very interesting and are so helpful to practise your English and learn a lot of expressions, vocabulary...


Here is the first song: The one that got away - by Katy Perry


In the one hand, the videoclip of this song is one of the best videoclips i've ever seen...
This video is about a girl who lost her love...
In the other hand, katy perry's voice is very clean and is very easy to understand why her songs are really good to practise...

Lyrics:


Summer after high school when we first met
We make up in your Mustang to Radiohead
And on my 18th Birthday
We got that chain tattoos

Used to steal your parents' liquor

And climb to the roof

Talk about our future

like we had a clue

Never plan that one day

I'd be loosing you

And in another life

I would be your girl

We keep for our promises

Be us against the world

And in other life

I would make you stay

So I don't have to say

You were the one that got away

The one that got away

I was dreaming you were my Johnny Cash

Never one we got the other We made a pact

Sometimes when i miss you

I put those records on

Someone said you had your tattoo removed

Saw you downtown singing "the Boom"

It's time to face the music

I longer amused

And in another life

I would be your girl

We keep full our promises

Be us against the world

And in another life

I would make you stay

So I don't have to say

You were the one that got away

the one that got away

The oneee (X3)

The one that got away

All these money can't buy me a time machine (noo)

Can't replace you with a million rings (noo)

Shoulda told you what you meant to me (woo)

Cause now i pay the price

And in another life

I would be your girl

We keep for our promises

Be us against the world

And in another life

I would make you stay

So I don't have to say

You were the one that got away

The one that got away

The oneee (X3)

And in another life

I would make you stay

So I don't have to say

You were the one that got away

The one that got away.

The second song: Suave (Kiss me) - by Nayer featuring Pitbull and Mohombi

Without further ado, here is the song:

Lyrics:

Go head baby (suave) Do it my babe (suave)

[Mohombi]
Dame good morning So I can get it

LYRICS

There’s a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch,
It’s bringing me out the dark
Finally I can see your crystal clear
Go head and sell me out and I'll lay your shit bare

See how I leave with every piece of you
Don’t underestimate the things that I will do

There’s a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch,
And it’s bring me out the dark

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love they leave me breathless
I can’t help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart and soul
And you played it
To the beat

Baby I have no story to be told
But I’ve heard one of you
And I’m gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there
It Reminds you of the home we shared

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love they leave me breathless
I can’t help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart and soul
And you played it
To the beat

We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart and soul
And you played it
To the beat

Throw your soul through every open door
Count your blessings to find what you look for
Turned my sorrow into treasured gold
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow

We could have had it all
We could have had it all
It all, it all it all,
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart and soul
And you played it
To the beat

We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart and soul
And you played it
To the beat

Beatiful...

                                                                     LYRICS

I heard that you're settled down,
That you found a girl and you're married now,
I heard that your dreams came true,
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you,
Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light,

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it,
I had hoped you'd see my face,
And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over,

Never mind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you, too,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"
Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead, yeah,

You know how the time flies,
Only yesterday was the time of our lives,
We were born and raised in a summer haze,
Bound by the surprise of our glory days,

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it,
I had hoped you'd see my face,
And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over,

Never mind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you, too,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"

Nothing compares,
No worries or cares,
Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made,
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Nevermind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"

Nevermind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you, too,
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead,"
Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead.

The best music...

LYRICS


Planet Earth, my home, my place
A capricious anomaly in the sea of space
Planet Earth are you just
Floating by, a cloud of dust
A minor globe, about to bust
A piece of metal bound to rust
A speck of matter in a mindless void
A lonely spacship, a large asteroid


Cold as a rock without a hue
Held together with a bit of glue
Something tells me this isn't true
You are my swweetheart soft and blue
Do you care, have you a part
In the deepest emotions of my own heart
Tender with breezes caressing and whole
Alive with music, haunting my soul.


In my veins I've felt the mystery
Of corridors of time, books of hisotry
Life songs of ages throbbing in my blood
Have danced to the rhythm of the tide and flood
Your misty clouds, your electric storm
Were turbulent tempests in my own form
I've licked the salt, the bitter, the sweet
Of every encounter, of passion, of heat
Your riotous color, your fragrance, your taste
Have thrilled my senses beyond all haste
In your beauty, I've known the how
Of timeless bliss, this moment of now


Planet Earth are you just
Floating by, a cloud of dust
A minor globe, about to bust
A piece of metal bound to rust
A speck of matter in a mindless void
A lonely spacship, a large asteroid
Cold as a rock without a hue
Held together with a bit of glue
Something tells me this isn't true
You are my sweetheart gentle and blue
Do you care, have you a part
In the deepest emotions of my own heart
Tender with breezes caressing and whole
Alive with music, haunting my soul.
Planet Earth, gentle and blue
With all my heart, I love you 


I hope the lyrics are OK ^^.

Patricia Kuhl: The linguistic genius of babies

Hi guys!
Today I searched talks to practice listening to the test for tomorrow, I've found this talk very interesting.
This talk is about the developmental factors that influce a baby to learn a new language.
It's very interesting to know when we are able to learn many languages ​​and how we develop our brain.
Personally, I'm trilingual since I was little, and I think it's important to learn many languages​​ since we're children, so we have the brain more developed and better able to recognize and learn foreign languages.
It is also interesting the experiments which the researchers did with the children, learning how people affect our learning, we learn more with people than watching tv.
I hope you'll like the video !
See you tomorrow in listening test!

ZEITGEIST: Jacques Fesco and Peter Joseph

Jacques Fresco is a very important person for me because without him, I wouldn't know how the world really works and I don't have motivation to ask myself all the time how the FMI, or OMS or ONU or other institutions control people and how the money corrupts them, and thanks to him I can see a better future for all the people of the world and not only for a few, I put a few videos related to his movement.

Jacques Fresco in "El Mundo" : We must eliminate money


You can find more speeches by Jacques Fresco that he makes all around the world, this isn't a unique interview you can find more about heterosexualidad and mentiraexpuesta this 2 user of youtube have very much interview from Jacques Fresco. And below the 3 most magnificent films that I have ever seen in my life, very, very, very important to understand the present political scene. I hope you enjoy it and learn too.

The first film about the zeitgeist movement (3 parts):

Part 1: The Greatest Story Ever Told



This section explores the little known foundations of the Cult of Equinoctial Christolatry (Christianity) which, unannounced to most, rests in the astrotheological belief systems of the ancient world, maybe not all the information is true but it is worth seeing.

Part 2: All the world's a stage




Part II uses integral footage of several 9/11 conspiracy theory films to claim that the September 11 attacks were either orchestrated or allowed to happen by elements within the United States government in order to generate mass fear, initiate and justify the War on Terror, provide a pretext for the curtailment of civil liberties, and produce economic gain. These claims include that the US government had advance knowledge about the attacks, the response of the military deliberately let the planes reach their targets, and the World Trade Center buildings 1, 2, and 7 underwent a controlled demolition.
In a March 17, 2009 New York Times article, Alan Feuer reported that Peter Joseph had indicated that he had "moved away from" his opinion on whether the September 11 attacks were an inside job perpetrated by the U.S. government. Peter Joseph later stated that his stance on 9/11 had not changed.

Part 3: Don't Mind the Men Behind the Curtain


WebIslam

Part III argues that three wars of the United States during the twentieth century were waged purely for economic gain by what the film refers to as "international bankers". The film alleges that certain events were engineered as excuses to enter into war including the sinking of the RMS Lusitania, the attack on Pearl Harbor, and the Gulf of Tonkin Incident.
According to the film, the US was forced by the Federal Reserve Bank to become embroiled in these wars, not with a view to win but to sustain the conflict, as this forces the US government to borrow money from the bank, allegedly increasing the profits of the "international bankers". The film then goes on to claim that the Federal Income Tax is illegal.
This section also claims the existence of a secret agreement to merge the United States, Canada and Mexico into a "North American Union". The creation of this North American Union is then alleged to be a step towards the creation of "One World Government." The film speculates that under such a government, every human could be implanted with an RFID chip to monitor individuals and suppress dissent.
An updated version of Zeitgeist released in 2010 removes the North American Union section among other changes.

Zeitgeist 2: Addendum

http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeitgeist:_Addendum


and Zeitgeist 3: Moving Forward (My favourite :D I haven't words, only watch the film)



All the videos are in English with Spanish subtitles
