Singing one song per day
Singing is a fun thing to do. It’s effective in preventing us from feeling lonely and bored. Nowadays I’m singing - with the goal of learning one song per day.
I’m learning to sing mandopop songs, not because I like the genre, but because they are generally much easier to sing than the songs I like, such as this one. Mandopop songs also help me to connect to people around me because it’s popular and is a nice chat topic. Maybe one day I should also learn to sing cantopop songs to learn Cantonese.
Occasionally we are asked to go up the stage and sing in front of a crowd. This can be embarrassing and awkward if we seldom sing. Knowing how to sing some popular songs can save us from such embarrassment. Karaoke seems to be a popular adult past time in some cultures, where we have to sing with a group of friends. Being able to sing songs well make us likable in such occasion.
Another reason I learn to sing one song per day is to train my memory and creativity. I have to repeat a song many times until I can sing without looking at the lyrics, at the same time I imagine the story and meaning in the song. I believe such activity keeps the mind active and helps to prevent dementia and senility.
I shall end this post with an example of mandopop song. Enjoy:
