I never set out to go and live in the UK. But now, analyzing my personal tastes and preferences, it turned out that much of what I like - be it cinema or music - was created in this country. I take my hat off to the British - in terms of creativity and art, this nation is one of the most advanced.
English group The Beatles
Pictured: The Beatles Story Museum in Liverpool.
WITH early childhood I listened to English music. My father instilled a passion for it. It all started with " The Beatles" I played their melodies on the piano. I translated the lyrics of their songs and tried to sing them myself. The Beatles are true legends not only of Great Britain, but of the entire world culture. The music of this “Fab Four” has long become a classic, and such a level of skill and reverence has not yet been achieved by anyone else. music group.
By coincidence, our move to the UK began in Liverpool, the birthplace of the Beatles. This gloomy city with leaden clouds hanging over it carefully preserves the memory of its famous people. Everything about Liverpool reminds you of the Beatles. Naturally, there is also a museum here, dedicated to the group, called " The Beatles Story" In Liverpool you can even find a monument to the yellow submarine, glorified in the song " Yellow Submarine».

IN London There are also many places associated with the Beatles - here they created and wrote most of their hits. One of the Beatles' last albums was even named after a London street. Abbey Road“- their recording studio was located here. One of the two living members of the group lives in London - Sir Paul McCartney. Even his home address is known: 7 Cavendish Avenue, St Johns Wood, London NW8 9JE. His daughter Stella became a successful clothing designer - her outfits are sold at incredible prices in London boutiques, where there are always crowds of people.
British musician Elton John
My acquaintance with English music continued in the face Sir Elton John. As a teenager, I greatly admired this eccentric red-haired pianist. Once I recorded his concert in Moscow from TV and then watched it often. Accompanying himself during the performance, Elton gave himself completely to the music - he was so carried away that fountains of saliva sprayed from his mouth. Naturally, I selected melodies and learned his incredibly beautiful songs: among them were such masterpieces as “ Believe», « Can you feel the love tonight», « Sacrifice», « Nikita" and others.
Having moved to the UK, my husband and I cherished the hope of going to a Sir Elton concert at an affordable price. Imagine our disappointment when it turned out that this British musician practically does not perform in his homeland. And you are more likely to see him at a concert in Moscow than in London. However, we do not lose hope of someday seeing this musical legend with our own eyes.
British group Take That

The next musical group is known to most girls from the 90s. Which of the girls in those years didn’t go crazy over the boy’s top five? Take That"? I remember that at that time notebook surveys were popular among teenage girls in Russia, and one of the mandatory questions on the survey was: “Which member of Take That do you like?” Everyone chose either the handsome guy Mark Owen(far right in the photo) or “bad boy” Robbie Williams(in the center). The latter, by the way, made a quite successful solo career.
The most famous hit Take That has certainly become a heart-warming ballad." Babe“- I must admit, I still listen to it when the mood suits me. Naturally, the lyrics of Take That's songs aroused my interest, and one day an incident arose with this: in those days, the Internet and search engines were not yet developed, and all foreign songs were learned “by ear.” That is why long years I was sure that famous composition Take That " Relight My Fire" the words actually sound " We like papaya”, which seemed a little strange to me (why the hell do these guys love papaya so much that they even sing about it?). I found out the truth by accident only many years later, when I found a video for this song on the Internet. However, I find it extremely helpful to listen foreign songs and independent attempts to parse words. In general, there are many cases when love for foreign language It begins precisely with sympathy for the musical group singing on it. This is a good incentive start learning the language– because you always want to know what your favorites are singing about. Sometimes, however, it turns out that the meaning of the lyrics is not as deep as we would like, but it is always better to know the truth than to suspect, as a friend of mine once said, “what if they sing that we are all fools here?” About other effective methods studying of English language read this article.
Other English singers: Simply Red, Seal, Spice Girls, George Michael, Adele
Our first meetings with my husband often took place under musical accompaniment fiery red Simply Red– the lyrical soul of this Englishman is ideal for romantic meetings and unobtrusively sets the mood for love (men, take it into account).

Another Brit whose enveloping baritone I sincerely consider the most beautiful male voice in the world - black singer Seal. Already pregnant, I went to his concert in Moscow in 2010 at the B1 club. Seal has incredibly powerful energy - when he performs, he charges the crowd with his sparkling energy so that you forget about everything in the world and reach out along with the rest of the “charged” to shake his hand. By the way, Seal is currently single, so girls, go for it.
Naturally, the sparkling “ Spice Girls", and lyrical ballads George Michael. All these performers also come from England.
My current favorite is the English singer Adele with an incredibly beautiful, deep velvety voice. And, although I was not very impressed with this episode of Bond, I think the soundtrack Skyfall performed by Adele with the most successful composition of all films about agent 007. It's a bit of a pity that, like a typical English woman, this talented singer doesn't think much about her figure. All British internet replete with banners with plump Adele and fake headlines about her incredible effective method weight loss. However, I hope that her weight will not affect the quality of performance in any way, and this British pop star will delight us with her creativity for many years to come.
