Hello Everyone! In this week 7 journal, I will sing 2 songs, explain the description of the song, and tell my experience.
.
FIRST SONG
[The first song with the title is Happier from Olivia Rodrigo]
✓ Lyrics :
- Oh, I hope you're happy, but not like how you were with me
- I'm selfish, I know, I can't let you go
- So find someone great but don't find no one better
- I hope you're happy, but don't be happier
✓ Song Description :
This Happier song by Olivia Rodrigo tells the story of someone who can't really let go of her lover's departure. Someone who is not really sincere her lover left her and has found someone new. But what is the power of the fact that her lover has left her. With a heavy heart, can't help but have to let her go too. Her selfishness is still burning that she hopes her ex is happy but not more than the happiness they felt before.

SECOND SONG
[The second song with the title is You Are The Reason from Calum Scott]
✓ Lyrics :
- I'd climb every mountain
- And swim every ocean
- Just to be with you
- And fix what I've broken
- Oh, 'cause I need you to see
- That you are the reason
✓ Song Description :
This song tells about someone who wants to get back with his lover, even though he has to go through various obstacles. But he tried to be able to fix all the mistakes made before. In this song, it is explained that the songwriter is fully aware of the importance of his lover's presence in his life. Because his lover is the reason why his heart is sad and the reason why his heart can be happy. For all these reasons, the songwriter finally apologized through this song to his lover and hoped that his lover would return to him.

✓ My Experience :
From these 2 song titles, I got some new vocabulary. My experience after practicing new vocabulary in songs makes me happy and not bored because I can learn words that I don't understand through my favorite songs. In my opinion, the easiest way to learn English is by listening to songs. Because listening to the songs I like makes me challenged to memorize the lyrics and understand the translation. When I listen to a song, I feel more relaxed and very challenged to try to understand the meaning and lyrics of the song I am listening to. The change I feel after practicing vocabulary and sentences is that I am more fluent and less convoluted when I pronounce it. Therefore, I feel more enthusiastic in learning and applying it in my daily life.
