3. Starter #1:
Today we will continue to listen to some songs that have a “timeless quality.” Some of these songs were popular on the radio many years ago, and they are still popular today. People never tire of hearing them. The lyrics connect with listeners, while the music reinforces the message and plays to our soul.
You may hear some songs that sound like a “hybrid”—both lyrical and narrative at the same time. Note which songs seem like both types.
As we play each song, we’ll see the lyrics on the screen. See if you can . . .
