My Song

I consider it to be one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Fredy Mercury´s passion and his unique voice have always touched my soul. Many times in life I have said to myself “Show must go on”. Life consists of a chain of events which, in many cases, are unpredictable. I strongly believe that, somehow, we are “creators” of our reality but sometimes life faces us to unexpected situations…
There is a powerful reason for choosing this song and it is this weird time we are living in. I connect this song with my present situation since my lifestyle has completely changed during these last months.
Being alone at home with no chances of sharing time with my friends and family was something that devastated me. Endless and lonely nights and days on my own got me really depressed and even led me to believe that my life was a hopeless mess. It has never been a characteristic of my personality to let troubles bother me much, but I must admit that I found the situation unbearable and overwhelming.
As days went by I started to observe the situation from a different perspective. I said to myself “ ok, this is a crisis and crisis mean challenges..” Wether you resist or accept the facts that you cannot change is up to you. You can be a victim if it is your wish or you can use your strength to carry on, and this is the point at which this song turns to be so motivating for me. It represents my feelings and my inner struggle, I choose to carry on, come what may…The last stanza could be the one that represents my feelings best :
The show must go on
I´ll face it with a grin
I´m never giving in  
On with the show…
The Show Must Go On
Queen
Empty spaces, what are we living for?
Abandoned places, I guess we know the score, on and on
Does anybody know what we are looking for?
Another hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime
Hold the line
Does anybody want to take it anymore?
The show must go on
The show must go on, yeah
Inside my heart is breaking
My makeup may be flaking
But my smile, still, stays on
Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance
Another heartache, another failed romance, on and on
Does anybody know what we are living for?
I guess I'm learning
I must be warmer now
I'll soon be turning, round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free
The show must go on
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My makeup may be flaking
But my smile, still, stays on
My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairy tales of yesterday, grow but never die
I can fly, my friends
The show must go on
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On with the show
Authores: Roger Taylor / John Deacon / Brian May / Freddie Mercury

    Vane, I understand why you´ve chosen this song. It´s such an special one. I personally think it is possible to see humanity behind the lyrics of the song. I guess we all are standing on stage enjoyng moments and smiles but also facing hard situations and we may be tempted to give up but life must go on, the show must go on.

    Hello Vane, this is a really beautiful song which makes us to feel that doesn't matter how hard or difficult life could be, you must get ahead of the troubles and go on. Never give up, because the show must go on...

 Entry #8- Oral Presentation. Yule, G. (2014). The Study of Language.  UK. Cambridge University Press.    CHAPTER 1 " THE ORIGINS OF LANGUAGE"      This chapter reviews the different theories and sources that tried to account for the origins of language. Some of these sources ranged from divine powers to physical features that may have allowed the production of speech.     The Divine Source formulated that a divine source provided humans with language. To prove this, some experiments were carried out and they consisted of isolating babies as to have them only speak the God-given language.   Another theory about the origin of speech is the Natural Sound Source. The Onomatopoeic Theory stated that language may have originated from the imitation and association of sounds to the object. In modern languages, we can find examples in words such as splash, boom, bang, among others. Another theory within the Natural Sound Source, called...

ABSTRACTS Metacognitive Analysis # 13. An abstract is a short text that comprises the main concepts of a paper;it is not a simple summary of a document. An abstract should contain the purpose of the paper, the problem that the work attempts to solve; the major findings found as a result of the analysis; and a brief summary of the conclusions. In this sense, it is relevant to highlight that the main purpose of an abstract is to provide  readers with the most salient ideas of the work.In consequence,  readers can evaluate and decide whether the content of the research is relevant and useful in their own research. Moreover, an abstract should allow the readers to get enough information about the paper without requiring them to read the actual document. Accordingly, a good abstract requires accuracy; brevity and clarity, and it must be written in a formal style.
