Phát hiện ra bữa CN tuần này là 1 ngày rất đặc biệt :D

No one can deny the fact that music plays an important role in our life. It comes to our soul with ever-lasting songs and unforgettable melodies. It also brings us better thoughts and wonderful feelings, giving us both innocent and profound emotion in a romantic and beautiful world, encouraging us in life, and enriching our spiritual life.

Obviously, music in our country is in its heyday now. It is said that music organizers, composers and singers are many music progams like “Blue way 99.9 MHz”, the “Present of Music”, and “The 7th Note of Music” programs on HCM Radio Station; the “Birdge of Music”, “Singing with Music Stars”, “Music Note of Fun” on HTV and so on. There are bridges connecting the audience with music. Moreover, many bars, coffee shops, and even pubs with live music performance have been established everywhere in our city.

However, we have to admit that music nowadays is very chaotic. Singers and songs are easily forgotten because it is very easy to become singers, and songs are not as profound as ones in the past. How do you feel when you listen to some sentences in some songs such as “I don’t expect the love to come; I never regret the love to leave”, “please don’t remember me when being with the other” or “I only keep quiet to listen to your cry.” How silly they are!

I do not know when there is the sencond Trinh Cong Son who can compose deeply meaningful songs for life.
