Good evening everyone, this is Kelly from the English show presented by Only for the Only One of Beijing New Oriental School. So how is your night in the crazy wind and sandstorm of Beijing? Well, Cristina offered me a ride, wait, I think it was me begging her to give me a ride so I wouldn’t have to walk in the sand for a long time. Hope now you are sitting in your cozy room and listening to our show.
The song we have for tonight is a soothing one with simple lyrics. I don’t think there are many words that you need to look up in a dictionary.
The song you can hear now is called “Thank You for the Broken Heart”
Oh seriously, thank you for breaking my heart? Doesn’t sound like the words most people would say. Let’s take a close look.
Thank you for the broken heart
and thank you for the permanent scar
cuz if it wasn't for you
I might forget
how it feels to let go
how it feels to get a brand-new start
So thank you for the broken heart
I guess the point is even though something doesn’t end up in the way we expected, we can always find an upside of it.
We learn by making mistakes.
We grow up by experiencing some heart-breaking moments.
So maybe one day we can also say something like the lyrics: Well you did break my heart, but thanks for showing up anyway and thanks for making me who I am now.
The wind would be gone and we all deserve a brand-new start.
That’s all for today. Good night.
