Before the summer holiday started I asked my S4 sweethearts to write two pieces of song reviews as part of their honeymoon homework. They had to pick two songs they like and share with me things they feel like sharing. Almost everyone of them handed in punctually (which, you know, is kind of a miracle). It's not until today when i finally had the time to go through the reviews one by one. Then I dedicated the entire Friday night listening to the pieces of music they recommended on Youtube, one after another.
Vicky wrote about "Dance With My Father", a song which I've never heard of: "When Luther Vandross was sever years old, his father died. This song is a gift to his mother, but it's also the last one... Celine Dion sang this song as a tribute a Luther Vandross. Celine Dion's father died just before she sang it." I love it, and I'm ashamed of my ignorance of such a great song. It reminds me of Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven" which he wrote after his son's tragic death.
A song that made my night.
I barely write about it but I'm probably having the best time of my teaching career. It's my privilege to be their teacher. It just feels so good to be giving away your heart when someone is ready to take it, and loves you in return, for who you are.
我最喜歡林宥嘉的「伯樂」、「想自由」、「你是我的眼」，可以一整天週而復始的聽。他的樣子像我一個好朋友，尤其小的嘴巴。演唱會後他去當兵一年，今天報章登了一篇他的訪問，他說：「我很常聽歌，覺得聽歌真的很像一個出口，可能最近發生了甚麼事情，我覺得有一首歌的歌詞很像我，就會一直重複聽它。」
