Lyrics not good for English
Man Oh Man, today flew by! I feel like I just woke up this morning, and WHAMMO it is already after midnight.
Eric Clapton says "After midnight, were gonna let it all hang down." And I have NO IDEA what that means.
One piece of advice is to not use song lyrics to study English. Did you know that when we sing, we can't hear any accent? It is true!! When a British sings, an American usually, and I mean 9 times out of 10, cannot detect they are British. Isn't that strange?
Music can be good to study, BUT you never know what they mean, or what they are saying. Even for a native speaker. Also, if they are really artsy, poetic, or just a weirdo, then the lyrics will be even more difficult to understand.
Have a good night!
