[EV Writing ep.6] Listening to the Music is Good Habit and also Bad habit

When I was young, I started to listen English song, the album name is Max Kingdom[1], from Ep.1 to Ep.20. I had a habit of listening to the music as the background song. But I seldom understand that songs meaning. That’s why I can’t sing well.

The compulsory education K7 started teaching English, I started to know vocabularies and grammar in English, and also understood the meaning of lyrics, but not all the songs, these are some of classical and slow version. And listening habits have been continuing until now for 25 years. It helps me kept fresh and learning new song, even I don’t know the lyrics.

Speaking to bad habit, when listening to music I just follow the rhythm and shake my body, or play it as background song, without concentrating on it. Not to mentioned, understanding the meaning of song’s lyrics.

The interesting thing is, even I didn’t focus on lyrics, I can sing the song I heard before. For example sometimes: in few EV class, EV restaurant and Bohol floating boat trip. <Can’t take my eyes off you> by Frankie, <Coast to coast> by Westlife. I can sing these classical music anytime, anywhere.

However, even it is bad or good habit, discovering new songs, because I like to guess the name of song which I’ve heard before. Following the rhythm and get into the world of singer through the lyrics.
