This is a true Canadian classic and a very powerful song. It really helped me when I was blind fool in high school!
I go blind – 5440
Everytime I look at you I go blind Everytime I look at you I go blind In the morning I get up And I try to feel alive but I can’t I don’t know what it is Something in me just won’t give it a chance I think it’s just that I feel more confused by the deal Love has shown me Little child did you know that there’s light And it’s gonna shine right through your eyes What do you think that life is like Everytime I look at you I go blind Somewhere over there There’s a purpose there’s a care for free In me there’s nobody No one plan no one stand to be free I think it’s that because I have seen all the fuss And it’s no big deal Hold me hold me ‘Cause I wanna get high and higher Higher than
This is actually my favorite Carly Rae Jepsen song. It’s a super easy song on the guitar too. Just A, D, E. If I was a girl, I’d be playing it!
Tug of War – Carly Rae Jepsen
You seem too good Too good to be true You’re holding me stronger Stronger than I’m used to
Don’t go out with the boys tonight I won’t sleep a wink Wondering what you’re doing Don’t go out with the girls tonight I will turn to drink [Album] {Wondering who you’re screwing} [Radio] Wondering what you’re proving
You seem to good To good to be true I’m loving you longer Longer than I’m used to
Don’t go out with the boys tonight I won’t sleep a wink Wondering what you’re doing I don’t go out with the girls tonight I will turn to drink [Album] {Wondering who you’re screwing} [Radio] Wondering what you’re proving
[2x] Tug of war Sweet as sin I let go I fell in Feel the pull Call your name I’m alone Once again
[Album] {You seem, you seem too good Too good to be true You’re holding me stronger Stronger than I’m used to}
Don’t go out with the boys tonight I won’t sleep a wink Wondering what you’re doing Don’t go out with the girls tonight I will turn to drink Wondering what you’re proving.

I believe Coldplay has been the best music group of the last ten years! So their music is awesome! Enjoy this great track, one of their many wonderful songs.
Speed of Sound – Coldplay
How long before I get in? Before it starts, before I begin? How long before you decide? Before I know what it feels like? Where To, where do I go? If you never try, then you’ll never know. How long do I have to climb, Up on the side of this mountain of mine?
Look up, I look up at night, Planets are moving at the speed of light. Climb up, up in the trees, every chance that you get, is a chance you seize. How long am I gonna stand, with my head stuck under the sand? I’ll start before I can stop, before I see things the right way up.
All that noise, and all that sound, All those places I got found. And birds go flying at the speed of sound, to show you how it all began. Birds came flying from the underground, if you could see it then you’d understand?
Ideas that you’ll never find, All the inventors could never design. The buildings that you put up, Japan and China all lit up. The sign that I couldn’t read, or a light that I couldn’t see, some things you have to believe, but others are puzzles, puzzling me.
All that noise, and all that sound, All those places I got found. And birds go flying at the speed of sound, to show you how it all began. Birds came flying from the underground, if you could see it then you’d understand, ah when you see it then you’ll understand?
All those signs, I knew what they meant. Some things you can invent. Some get made, and some get sent, Ooh? Birds go flying at the speed of sound, to show you how it all began. Birds came flying from the underground, if you could see it then you’d understand, ah, when you see it then you’ll understand?
I think I’m gonna be sad, I think it’s today, yeah The girl that’s driving me mad Is going away
She’s got a ticket to ride, She’s got a ticket to ride, She’s got a ticket to ride, But she don’t care
She said that living with me Is bringing her down yeah For she would never be free When I was around
She’s got a ticket to ride, She’s got a ticket to ride, She’s got a ticket to ride, But she don’t care
I don’t know why she’s ridin’ so high, She ought to think twice, She ought to do right by me Before she gets to saying goodbye, She ought to think twice, She ought to do right by me I think I’m gonna be sad, I think it’s today yeah The girl that’s driving me mad Is going away, yeah
She’s got a ticket to ride, She’s got a ticket to ride, She’s got a ticket to ride, But she don’t care
I don’t know why she’s ridin’ so high, She ought to think twice, She ought to do right by me Before she gets to saying goodbye, She ought to think twice, She ought to do right by me She said that living with me, Is bringing her down, yeah For she would never be free When I was around
Ah, she’s got a ticket to ride, She’s got a ticket to ride, She’s got a ticket to ride, But she don’t care
My baby don’t care, my baby don’t care My baby don’t care, my baby don’t care My baby don’t care, my baby don’t care
It’s been a hard day’s night, and I’ve been working like a dog It’s been a hard day’s night, I should be sleeping like a log But when I get home to you I find the things that you do Will make me feel alright
You know I work all day to get you money to buy you things And it’s worth it just to hear you say you’re going to give me everything So why on earth should I moan, ’cause when I get you alone You know I feel OK
When I’m home everything seems to be right When I’m home feeling you holding me tight, tight
It’s been a hard day’s night, and I been working like a dog It’s been a hard day’s night, I should be sleeping like a log But when I get home to you I find the things that you do Will make me feel alright, oww
So why on earth should I moan, ’cause when I get you alone You know I feel OK
When I’m home everything seems to be right When I’m home feeling you holding me tight, tight
It’s been a hard day’s night, and I been working like a dog It’s been a hard day’s night, I should be sleeping like a log But when I get home to you I find the things that you do Will make me feel alright You know I feel alright You know I feel alright
Hello again. I just wanted to share with you one of my favorite ESL teaching secrets. This is how I taught my own children as they were growing up in Korea! (Yes even their first language was Korean and to a lesser extent English, since they spent the majority of their days in Kindergarten or with their Korean Aunties and cousins).
As you know, music is one of my big secrets for teaching. Music is great for all kinds of teaching really, but it works amazingly with ESL learners. I just wrote an article about my favorite Musical Movies for ESL Learning, however, for younger children there are some different recommendations. By younger kids, I mean any age before 9 years old. Several recommendations from the “Musical Movies For ESL Learning” article are great too. But there are definitely several more that fit better with younger children.
These were my Super-Star students from Kwang Nam Elementary School in Seoul. This was one of my favorite schools and experiences for sure. You can see how well my “Bondaygee ESL System” works here. Mind you the students were pretty nervous doing their little recitals and did their best to say the words as fast as possible. If you were to talk to them and normal speed they could answer with near perfect pronunciation. Click a student to hear their recitals and the “Browser Back” button to go back to start. The story about these great students can be found here at “The Amazing ESL Story”.
