Blink 182 - When I was young

"When I Was Young"

I woke up today surrounded by blackness
The small morning sun devoured the process
It's always been fun when I get a bit nervous
And it's hard to say but I feel a bit weightless
The more I admit I feel a bit anxious
The more I go on the less I can face this
And those rotten things that live in our shadow
We walk on the line of death and the gallows
And hope that we clear a path we can follow

It's the worst damn day
(It doesn't hurt that much)
Of my life
I made a mess today
(It doesn't hurt that much)
I'm alright
It doesn't hurt that much

When I was young the world it was smaller
The cities were vast the buildings were taller
I felt really strong my parents seemed stronger
But life has a way it showers with greatness
Then takes it away those pieces that made us
Then teaches you things you'd never imagine
We all get the same the memories the burdens
The pictures we made they still form a pattern
They cautiously say does it all matter

It's the worst damn day
(It doesn't hurt that much)
Of my life
I made a mess today
(It doesn't hurt that much)
I'm alright
It doesn't hurt that much

It's the worst damn day
(It doesn't hurt that much)
Of my life
I made a mess today
(It doesn't hurt that much)
I'm alright
It doesn't hurt that much

It's the worst damn day
(It doesn't hurt that much)
Of my life
I made a mess today
(It doesn't hurt that much)
I'm alright
It doesn't hurt that much

It's the worst damn day
(It doesn't hurt that much)
Of my life
I made a mess today
(It doesn't hurt that much)
I'm alright.

HORROR TRAILER

As you know you have to make a video for the English class with a trailer made up by you or copied from a film. You have to send the script before starting to record the video.

Remember that it has to be 5-10 minutes long and you ALL have to speak in the video. I don't mind the setting. I don't mind the groups as long as you all have someone to do the video.

The video you have to give me must be in avi or mp4 and all the story in just one file, with the title of the film on it.

You must post here all the comments or ideas that you have to share with your partners.

You can also make suggestions or questions.

Remember that the deadline for the video is the 4th of December.

See you in class.

TALKING ABOUT YOUR LIFE.

On the dates I have already told you in class (and that you can find in the blog in the previous days), you have to talk about 5 minutes about yourself.

You have to do a PowerPoint presentation (hand it over one day before, please) with your own photos (of you, your town, your hopes...)

You have to start by using the past tenses, the present tenses,and finally, the future tenses.

Remeber that every connector you use (apart from "and", "but or "or") will make your make better. You know how to use them, as you write them in compositions.

I don't mind if the story of your life is true. I want YOU to speak.

You cannot write paragraphs or sentences in the powerpoint... only photos and some specific information (dates, names of places or people, short phrases...)

Feel free to add comments. suggestions or questions below.

See you in class

Capital Cities - Safe and Sound

I could lift you up 
I could show you what you want to see 
and take you where you want to be 

You could be my luck 
Even if the sky is falling down 
I know that we'll be safe and sound 
safe and sound 

I could fill your cup 
You know my river won't evaporate 
This world we still appreciate 

You could be my luck 
Even in a hurricane of frowns 
I know that we'll be safe and sound 
safe and sound 
safe and sound 
safe and sound 

I could show you love 
In a tidal wave of mystery 
You'll still be standing next to me 

You could be my luck 
Even if we're six feet underground 
I know that we'll be safe and sound 
you safe and sound 

I could lift you up 
I could show you what you want to see 
and take you where you want to be 

You could be my luck 
Even if the sky is falling down 
I know that we'll be safe and sound
