Assignment #5 English song - Safe & Sound- Taylor Swift



Safe & Sound - Taylor Swift

I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said 'I'll never let you go'
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said 'Don't leave me here alone'
But all that's dead and gone and past tonight.

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Don't you dare look out your window
Darling everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when the music's gone
gone

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

(INSTRUMENTAL)

Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

It is the main song of the movie "The Hunger Games".
And "The Hunger Games" is a very famous novel.
The novel was adapt into a movie in 2012.

The singer of this song is Taylor Swift.
She was born on December 13,1989 in America.

Here is some vocabulary I learned from this song:

1.  streaming (Noun or Verb): any flow of liquid or gas.
    example: By the time she saw the miserable news, her tears streaming down her cheek.

2.  rage (Noun or Verb) :extreme anger
   example: Tony was trembling with rage when he knew that his brother got bullied in school.

3.  instrument (Noun) : a device that is used to make music
   example : In this semester I join the NTUB hot music club. The instrument I want to learn is bass.

There are some reasons I choose this song. First reason is the MV's background.  I think that style is very beautiful.That color and the landscape let me associated with the feeling about lonely and calm. It made me feel comfortable.

Besides the background, the combination of those singer's voice is amazing. Taylor's voice is so clear Also, I think the lyrics are great. The melody of this song made it become a very great lullaby. Just like the lyrics said. (I was listening to this song while I was doing this assignment. As time goes by, I really want to go to sleep.)

By the way, when I was a high school student, I usually listened to  this song before slept. This song is very good for sleep.

In sum,  I think it's a great song. Because of the voice, melody ,background, and lyrics. Those reasons make me listen to this song for years and it will continue.  When it comes to the song, the first thing I think is peaceful.
