nowadays many people can't live without music. and me too. we can ask why? so i have an answer. we can hear music everywhere: in the streets and at home, over the radio and on tv, in the shops and in the parks. people all over the world are fond of music. they listen to music, they dance to music, they learn to play musical instruments. i think that music is the way to relax and simply to have a start of pleasant time. my favourite style of music is pop music, because it is breathtaking and full of energy. when i listen to pop music it makes me remember happy times and forget the problems of everyday life. it helps me to relax when i'm tired, as i say earlier, and entertains me when i'd like to have fun.
my favourite singer is annie lennox: people always make a big deal about pop singers who can sing. it's like they're surprised or something. like, what's that about? once a member of the eurythmics, who also featured a guy who would go on to hang out with tom petty, lennox did it without a lot of hair in an era that was mostly big hair. that alone makes her a renegade.i like her.
but my friends like rock music.i can't understand them. they think that it is cool when singers have such strange songs.
