With or Without You is the lead single from their 1987 album, The Joshua Tree. It has since become highly-acclaimed as one of the band's most popular songs.
Week Four will introduce the song to my classes, and learn the song with each group giving their own renditions. The following are the lyrics that the students will copy from the blackboard:
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you
With or without you
With or without you
Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And Im waiting for you
With or without you
With or without you
I cant live
With or without you
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away
My hands are tied
My body bruised, shes got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose
(Repeat ... And you give yourself away)
With or without you
With or without you
I cant live
With or without you
(Repeat the last verse twice)
In addition, an email homework needs to be sent before their 5-day deadline filling in the blanks with the correct words to complete a song. The song is one of my own composition, Waiting For You. Along with with the lyrics, the students will be required to write a 300-word composition outlining their thoughts on the song, about how the lyrics of the song make them feel, and comments on how their teacher sang the song. The email would also need to be printed for submission to Mr. Andy Xu's office as part of the school's requirement to submit at least two of the students' homeworks.
The incomplete form of "Waiting For You" that the students need to copy from the blackboard is as follow:
Lookin' around _____10_____ places
Missin' the girl in your heart; she's __3__ __5___.
____8____ you just wanna be with her.
The night lights and __3__ __5___
Wishin' on the emptiness _3__ _2_ _1 __4__.
___7____ hard just to be with her.
BRIDGE:
A __4__ in your head
Throwin' __6____ __4__
___7____ to win
And a mist in the _3__
She's waiting for you.
A ___6____ at the time had changed your mind
It's late, you had to go; just _4___ __4__.
__5___, you just wanna be with her.
A solitary ___6___ on the dead of the night
___6___ ___7____ on the road shine as your guiding light.
__7_____ right now you're there with her.
(Repeat the BRIDGE)
CODA:
You never got around to visit
Kasiyahan lang ang nasa isip
Close your eyes; ipikit mo lang
Ang iyong mga mata
At kung makita mo
Ang nilalaman ng puso mo
Di ka na mag-iisip ng iba
Naghihintay sa yo
Saan ka man naroroon
Babalik ka rin naman
Sa kanya.
(Repeat the BRIDGE)
Lookin' around _____10_____ places
Missin' the girl in your heart; she's __3__ __5___.
____8____ you just wanna be with her.
Now you see her eyes, its softness and its glow
And you held her like you never had before.
And you're glad just to be with her.
(Repeat the BRIDGE)
That will be an interesting class~~Will you sing the song on the class???
ReplyDeleteWould you like me to sing the songs? Only on the conditions that no one will have their camera phones pointed at me, and you'd all listen to the words ... and the feelings.
ReplyDeleteIf it is possible and you like to sing the song,I think everyone will obey it.^_^
