Today, We held English discussion activity "Express Yourself in English !" which is intended to enjoy small talk "Zatsu-Dan" in English, through listening to, talking about and singing a song in English, which lead by Yuko-san, a Jazz singer.
All of you who participated, thank you.
Today's theme song was "All Of Me".
"All of Me" is a popular song and jazz standard.
Contrary to romantic title and tune which seems to be happy, it is a song of the lost love.
It is popular technique that to sing the deep lyrics with happy tune in the old jazz and blues, Yuko-san explained.
"All of me" is a song that "She" (our thought were) is begging "the love of her life" back to her, while she has anger toward him.
Today's discussion theme was "lost love".
We discussed the questions which Yuko-san made for today, with minding our own experiences.
Have you ever had experience you broke up with your girlfriend / boyfriend ?
Or, you had broken up by someone ?
We thank you all of who shared time pleasant discussions.
