MICHAEL JACKSON's MUSIC will live forever!

MICHAEL JACKSON was born on 
August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana. He was the eighth of ten children in an African American working-class family who lived in a three-room house in Gary, an industrial city near Chicago. His mother, Katherine Esther Scruse, was a devout Jehovah's Witness, and his father, Joseph Walker "Joe" Jackson, was a steel mill worker who performed with an R&B band called The Falcons. Jackson had three sisters: Rebbie, La Toya, an Janet, and five brothers: Jackie, Tito, Jerrmaine, Marlon, and Randy.



On June 25, 2009, Michael Jackson died while in his bed at his rented mansion at 100 North Carolwood Drive in the Holmby Hillsdistrict of Los Angeles. 
Jackson's death triggered a global outpouring of grief.

I WANT YOU BACK
When I had you to myself, I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always make you stand out in a crowd
But someone picked you from the bunch, one glance is all it took
Now it's much too late for me to take a second look

Oh baby, give me one more chance
(To show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me back in your heart
Oh darlin', I was blind to let you go
(Let you go, baby)
But now since I've seen you it is on
(I want you back)
Oh I do now
(I want you back)
Ooh ooh baby
(I want you back)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
(I want you back)
Na na na na

Trying to live without your love is one long sleepless night
Let me show you, girl, that I know wrong from right
Every street you walk on, I leave tear stains on the ground
Following the girl I didn't even want around

Let me tell ya now
Oh baby, all I need is one more chance
(To show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me back in your heart
Oh darlin', I was blind to let you go
(Let you go, baby)
But now since I've seen you it is on

All I want
All I need
All I want!
All I need!

Oh, just one more chance
To show you that I love you
Baby baby baby baby baby baby!
(I want you back)
Forget what happened then
(I want you back)
And let me live again!

Oh baby, I was blind to let you go
But now since I've seen you it is on
(I want you back)
Spare me of this cost
(I want you back)
Give me back what I lost!

Oh baby, I need one more chance, hah
I'd show you that I love you
Baby, oh! Baby, oh! Baby, oh!
I want you back!
I want you back!

DEPECHE MODE, Enjoy the Silence! (1990)

ENJOY THE SILENCE
"Enjoy the Silence" is Depeche Mode's twenty-fourth UK single, recorded in 1989 and released on 5 February 1990.

Words like violence    Break the silence    Come crashing in     Into my little world
Painful to me   Pierce right through me    Can't you understand      Oh my little girl

All I ever wanted   All I ever needed

Is here in my arms

Words are very unnecessary   

They can only do harm

Vows are spoken   To be broken    
Feelings are intense   Words are trivial
Pleasures remain    So does the pain    
Words are meaningless     And forgettable

All I ever wanted   All I ever needed

Is here in my arms

Words are very unnecessary   

They can only do harm

Depeche Mode /dɨˈpɛʃmoʊd/ are an English electronic music band formed in 1980 in Basildon, Essex.

Pi-pas: ingenuous and ingenious

ingenuous and ingenious

This is a retelling-a-story exercise.

Could you explain us the dialogues as a narrative 

(present or past verbal tense, you may choose which)?

Begin like this...

Two teenage girlfriends are/were eating sunflower seeds in a park when one mobile rings/rang. One of the girls looks at it to know who is /was calling and doesn't/didn't answer, then she begins/began to tell the other girl her reasons not to answer it.

She explains the other girl that her boyfriend is cheating on her because when...

how to express... purpose!
