There's a way.

My friends visited me for studying English together. Before opening our textbooks, we spent chatting away in English and I talked about one of my favorite singer-songwriters whose name is Shoko Suzuki, but none of my friends knew her name. Oh, my. She is talented at telling a story in her songs! I like her voice very much because it's filled with feelings of melancholy. When I'm listening to her songs, I feel like I'm watching a movie. With her music, I can easily imagine its scenes. There are many gifted singers in the world, of course, but in my opinion, Shoko Suzuki is one of the great story tellers.

While I was surfing on the Net today, I came across a familiar name on the site called "You Tube." Around 20 years ago, I happened to know an artist named Katsumi. I was astonished by his extraordinary vocal range. Soon after being into him, I learned that he was a huge fan of Freddie Mercury, who was a vocalist of the British rock band "Queen." Of course, I took into "Queen" as well. Music is fantastic. It has a power not only to get us to remember past events but also to give us strength. I rarely listen to any music in my life now, but of course, I'd like to have some time for it...once again.

This is a song comes from "High School Movie." I'm totally into it now, and I've kept listening to it since last night. The actors, Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens, are marvelous. Both of them can not only act but also sing quite well. Further more, their sweet voices make me sad somehow....
I'd say I feel sad because the song reminds me of my younger days. Like most teenagers, I had a boyfriend when I was in high school. We were on a basketball club, and spent most of our time in a gym. We were happy to be together, but broke up after graduation because we felt we were having different perspective. He was a college student, and I started in life. Oh, yes, we felt "I just don't belong to your new world..."
My memory is getting to fade away as time passes, but some songs still serve as a reminder.

Listen to your heart
When he is calling for you
Listen to your heart
There is nothing else you can do

This is one of the songs that my friend introduced me before going back to his country. This song reminds me of the days we spent together.
I didn't know that Roxette sang a song for a movie entitled "Pretty Woman." No wonder her voice sounded a bit familiar to me. I highly recommend this CD to you.
