When I hear the lyrics or the rhythm, I feeldifferent and I want to draw. Depeche Mode-Enjoy the silence - Ive chosen this onebecause sometimes I find a room at home and enjoythe silence. Because words are meaningless andforgettable but silence always tells the truth Rihanna, Kanye West, Joy Z-Run this town - When Ilisten to this song I feel happy because I canunderstand everything about me. Moreover, I can saythis song is mine because of these lines. Life is a game but its not fair I break the rules so I dont care So I keep doing my own thing. 16. #4 When Im 64 Our clip: http://grade11fld.edublo gs.org/2010/04/14/whe n-im-64/ A follow up: When Im 64 17.
