  2. Music! I’m not the kind of person that can’t live without it, however, I love to listen music. My favorites genres and artists are; “Amarante” (Indie); “The Jezabels” & “The cranberries” (Rock); “Coldplay” (I think that is Pop music, and I hate the last album); and electro.
    When someone says things like: ”this song makes me happy” or “it gives me energy”, I’m can’t say the same, because I choose songs based on my mood, I told you the last week, the music don’t make feel things, I feel things with music. I don’t believe that music can’t exists, I mean, it’s in everywhere from millenniums, I think that is a typical of human nature.
    I downloaded a lot of songs the last week while I was studying math, just popular music that I heard with my robotic friends of USM (no, they aren’t robots); my favorite is “stressed out” of 21 pilots.

  4. Hi teacher, my favorite genre is a indie pop and rock because this genres cause a good feeling myself because it makes me remember things besides I feel understood for this music. This genres has artists as lana del rey, the strokes, arctic monkeys or denver , i love this bands. I dont know, i listen music everyday when i bathe, walk for school , on the bus at every moment. I think without music all is bored and monotonous. The last song heard to me was ''L.S.F - Kasabian'' and last download was ‘’ dark paradise - lana del rey’’ a sad song.

  7. hello teacher,my favorite genre of music is rap but mainmind Spanish rap, rap makes me feel relaxed and this allows me to think I'm doing this mainly travel from my home to school and vice versa. I would do without music is not what I think my life would not have any significant change because the music itself is not so important to me, útima the song I heard was "apagado o fuera de cobertura" by "el chojin"

  8. Hi teacher
    I like all music , I listen to any genre without any problem but that is my favorite is the bachata truth is I think the pace as it is quite "moved", the music first produces a feeling that I am on the other hand, it relaxes me and all that makes me sleep jajaj esucho music and I usually fall a sleep, if there is no music playing video games on the computer but can not imagine a world without music because such a fundamental part of the movie is the background music standing and everything really revolves around music or most things , I do not remember the last song it fetches or phone to hear because normally I leave the cell at random and passes any song.

  10. Hi!
    Well, I don’t have an favorite genre of music, I like a lot of genres as rock, pop, electronic, rap even classic but I believe that many of the music in my cellphone is pop maybe. I really choice my music, genre or songs according to my mood, because if I feel blue I gonna put sad or slow songs, for example classics or romantics and if the contrary I feel happy I gonna put music more noisy and cheerful like electronic, pop or rock. If there were no music would not know, because I using music for everything, I do nothing without music, I mean I listen to music or singing all the day or at least twice a day; in conclusion I explode without music :,(
    The last song that I download is “cake by the ocean” by DNCE and well before that the lyric I like so much the rhythm of this it’s so lively and sticky, about the lyric is good! And is funny. This is a great song to have fun and hang out!

  11. Hi teacher, my favorites genres and artists are “The xx” (Indie pop), XXYYXX, Odesza (Electro), Rhye (R&B), Tame Impala (Phychedelic rock), FKJ (Electro-soul) and the old and sad Coldplay (when they make indie rock and no pop). What music make me feel obviously it depends on the song, but I usually listen to music that I can always listen, no matter if I am sad or happy, but most of the time music make me disconnect of the world. I can’t imagine a world without music, no for the fact that it is so necessary, just because I can’t, so I don’t know what I would do if there’s no music, maybe nothing, because my life wouldn’t change significantly. The last song that I heard was “Lying together” of FKJ and the last downloaded “The less I know the better” of Tame Impala.

  15. Hi teacher

    Well, I dont have specific favourite genre because I like a lot pf music , but the most important will be the rock ( latin rock, indie rock, hard rock and chilean rock) or could also be the pop ( vintage pop, new pop of chile or psychedelic pop) besides I like so much the cumbia because is so funny with your friend sing and dance with its rhythm, but the most important in my life is the punk, because when I was a child was a first genre that I listen and my favourite band is of USA, Green day and my favourite band of punk in Chile is Tronic. The music make me feel any things , can be happiness, sadness and hatred or I feel that exist a travel in my mind ( so rare) that make me feel in other world. I dont remember what is the last song that I download, but now I can not stop listening a old song by Pink Floyd called "Wish you were here", this song have a beautiful lyrics with a excellent solo of guitar, the song the song tells how confusing and how sad life can be and the author just wish to be with her or him.

  16. Hello teacher, well i will make this thing quick.
    Well, first of all, I don’t have a specific kind of music, style, because every genre have god and bad themes, that's why I never limit myself to one genre.
    Also, music’s its very special for me, because music make me feel that I am in another world, a world where the lyrics and tune goes in harmony with every action
    With all this in consideration, what would I do if there was no music? Well I guess, I will just continue whit my life, but of course, it will be more boring.
    And about the last music that I heard or downloaded…. It was KILL YOURSELF- pink guy (seriously , thats how its named).

  17. Hello, teacher, well, I don’t have musical talent, but, I always listen to music, in the shower, while I sleep, in the school, wherever, I believe I can’t live without music. Music is like books, I love books, I love music. Music brings me to worlds of fantasy, when I listen to music, I feel a lot of emotions, I feel that I’m born when I listen a song that inspires me.
    I don’t know many musical genres, but I really like: Disney’s music, they’re my childhood, Especially, the soundtrack of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” and “Beauty and the Beast”, their songs are beautiful and deep; classical music, like Bach, Tchaikovsky; opera, especially Pavarotti or María Callas; Japanese music (J-pop, j-rock, Visual Kei, etc.), it’s so strange, so diverse, even in one genre, like the J-pop, there a completely opposite songs; cute and tender, electronic, songs that are similar to rock, I think that this genre will never bored me. My artist favorite, is japanese, Akiko Shikata, she creates unique songs, a mix of J-pop with Celtic or medieval music. Two of my favorite songs are Umineko no Naku Koro ni (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roVlnja8u-w) that is a magical and epic song, when I listen to it, I feel that I live in Tolkien's Middle Earth and Laylania (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRt9DHpvmL4), that is like a jazz song.
    The last song that I listened? It’s Bells of Notre Dame - reprise -, ending of THOND, I always listen to it, I love it.
    I love music.

  18. Hi teacher,
    My favorite genre of music is pop because I think that is music with I am very identify with my personality and my form of see the life. I prefere singers like Bruno Mars or Ed Sheeran or bands like Maroon 5.
    The music for me isn't everything, the music can help me for delete my bad feelings and moments that I have in the day, but I can live without this, for me the music is substitutable for other activities like paint or dance.
    The last song that I heard is Sing of Ed Sheeran because I love this song for every good moment and the lots laughs that this song remind me and for this I usually hear it.

  24. My favorite genre of music is reggae music because it relaxes me and is not aggressive. Another type of music that makes me feel is also because his musical rap lyrics are very good in some songs, such as: (Portavoz12), speaking of the people and is treated as abroad. if there was no music would be something very rare but try to make some music to meet that need. the last song I downloaded was "love and peace" Portavoz12, it took one minute to download on a cell, this song lasts about four minutes and is very good because I like his handwriting.

  26. Hi teacher, it's tom again... thinking a lot my favorite genre of music i get the conclusion its called "Easycore" a combination between Harcore and punkpop but mostly i hear punk rock, post hardcore that kind of styles, you get it. one of my favorite bands ever would be "Sum41" i don't know why, the lyrics, the energy, the power of the songs makes me feel awake, focused on the day. however i select my music in order to satisfy my moods, i mean, the kind of music reflects a lot the intention and how this will make you feel if you get it. so i listen a lot of music all kinds but i liked the most this ones makes me feel awake as i said it and in control of myself (weird) so, i'm not a person who can live without music, if music can't exist, i will be badly broken. recently i downloaded an album of a band called "The word Alive" and the album "Dark Matter" a post-hardcore music style. so that's it, till next time

  29. Hi teacher.
    Really I do not have a favorite genre , as with most genres I feel comfortable, plus I always try to find songs that match my mood . I am not one of those people who die without music but between listening and not listening to music prefer to listen , because I bastante.La entertains last song I heard was Blue Jeans- Salling and download the last song was ' 'antes' '- Jorge Drexler ( is a pretty old song , since I have no memory on my phone and I do not like to delete things because I think they will at some point) . They are songs with a lot of sentimental value , they make me feel relaxed and quite distracted from the outside. Sometimes this kind of music makes me feel too sure of myself and I love that, I like that just to hear the voice or melody of a song I can feel so ( it is rare but I feel like that).

  30. Hello, teacher.
    I love music, because it makes me feel in another world, when I listen to music, I feel a lot of emotions. I would feel empty without music, because it makes me feel alive, music makes me think, reflect. Music is my life, I love to create and listen to music.
    I don't have a favorite genre, but I prefer Latin rock, because it represents the Latin identity, Latin rock makes many critical social, and classic rock because it's songs have an excellent quality it speaks of so many interesting and important things, to express emotions. I like the music that makes social criticism.
    The last song that I listened is “Someday” of Flipsyde (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5QEAI_O2IA), I like it because the melody of the guitar is soft, when I listen to it, I feel that I am in a movie.

  31. Hey.
    I've not a favorite genre, because everything depend about the situation, I mean, if I'm doing exercise, I preffer heavy metal, If I should to study, easy music, like Adele's songs. It make me feel different feels, like rock make me feel with energy, or pop make me feel happy, easy music make me feel concentrated, as I said before, everything it's about what I'm doing. I'm not a real music fan, so I can live without music, so doesn't matters, I can stay days without music and I don't care like other people that music is his life. The last song I heard was "AC/DC - Thunderstruck" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYFdldfYEJk here's a music video.

  32. Well, I don’t have an favorite genre because I like a lot of music. I love to listen music. I like a lot of genres as rock, pop, electronic, rap, indie and chilean rock and more. because my tastes vary greatly from Green day passes Tame impala or Tronic to Manuel Garcia, is a mixture of all types, I love music! I choice my music, genre or songs according to my mood, because if I feel blue I gonna put sad, the music make me feel any things , can be... happiness, sadness and hatred and more things. Depends on the song, but I usually listen to music that I can always listen because i like more.
    What would you do if there's no music?... would do nothing because the music makes you feel happier, makes you feel more emotions and for this reason, it makes it more exciting.a day without music, is not a good day. besides that is suuuuper boring no lisent to music.
    What was the last song you heard or downloaded? Well I have a song hovering over my head, which is "ONE DANCE" by Drake, is so cool. Besides the song which it is my favorite is this..... -
