#15 Afandi Karaoke: My Love (by Westlife)

▶️ The 1990s with all its boy bands were a golden age of slow and understandable English lyrics. If this one is too easy and cheesy (=cheap, not good quality, of poor taste) for yourself, why don’t you send it to your low-level English learning friend?

🎉Special Day: Where Have All The Flowers Gone?

▶️ As the world remembers then end of World War II today let's sing an anti-war song that has a truly remarkable (=special) history.

This version is sung by Joan Baez, a contemporary (=modern) American folk singer famous for her social justice activism.
