6. Yesterday (Lennon-McCartney)
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
oh, yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
oh, I believe in yesterday
Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
oh, I believe in yesterday, Mm

7. • People cannot live without music. They listen to music, dance to
music or learn to play musical instruments. There is music
everywhere: at home, in a concert hall, in the park, at the seaside, in
the forest and even in the street.
• Music is not only a combination of pleasant sounds. It is an art which
reflects life. Music reflects people's ideas and emotions. In this world
of ours, filled with conflicts, tragedies, joys and hopes, music strives
to speak to people of what is most important, urgent and poignant.
• Music in the lives of different people is different: some compose
music, others play music, and others only listen to it. A lot of people
who cannot play any musical instrument love to listen to music either
at home or at a concert. Different people like different kinds of music.
You may prefer pop or rock music, country or folk music, classical
music or jazz, but you certainly cannot think of a day without music.

What Music Means to MeWhat Music Means to Me
I pant for music, which is divine,
My heart in its thirst is dying flower;
Pour forth the sound like enchanted

Loosen the notes in a silver shower;
Like a herbless plain for a gentle rain,
I gasp, I faint, till they wake again.
