Unfortunately, not a good time for live music

 

We have been locked down for some months, when the situation was horrible and lots of people were infected with the coronavirus and many of them were in a critical situation or even died. Now, the situation is better and there are fewer people infected and fewer deaths. Because of this we can go out and meet other people or go to a restaurant. To do this and avoid being infected we have to wear a mask and respect social distance.

But some people aren't responsible and they are going everywhere without wearing a mask and respecting social distance. Because of this there are many outbreaks. Some of them are so big that people from that place have to stay at home again and restaurants and other places have to close!

Tourist know about these outbreaks and are also cancelling their holidays to Spain. These are bad news because tourism is essential here. If there are no tourists, many people who work in hotels will earn very little money or even not earn any money at all!

In my opinion we have to be responsible. We have to give a good image and make our cities safe places. If we aren't responsible there will be many outbreaks and we won't be able to go out or go to events like a football match or a concert.

David Bowie

David Robert Jones, better known as David Bowie, was a musician and a composer of rock music. He also worked as an actor, producer and graphic designer. He was born in Brixton, England, on 8th January, 1947 and since he was a child he has been really interested in music. 

David Bowir started singing at the age of 15 as a member of a band. He left school and he joined and left different bands.  At the beginning he chose Davy Jones as an artistic name, but he changed it to David Bowie because his first name could be confused with a member of The Monkees. He chose David Bowie in honour of Jim Bowie, who created a knife named Bowie knife.

The first years were difficult. Bowie didn't sell many albums but, in the 1970s, he became really famous and he reached many number 1. He started siniging alone and in the 1990s he joined a band. He continued performing and singing until 2013. Sadly, he died in 2016, only two days after his birthday, because of a cancer.

Pirates of the web

I have Spotify, so I play music on this platform or I play it on Youtube. I don't use to buy any cd's. I rarely download music because I think Spotify is better. I only download music from the internet when I want to put it as ringtone. I think music piracy is a crime because singers and musicians earn money from the cd's and songs that people buy legally and from streaming on platforms ike Spotify, Youtube or Apple Music and if we download music illegally, the musicians will lose money

the best song to travel

For me travelling it's funny. I enjoy sightseeing at the view and talking with my parents. But when the trip becomes too long, it gets boring. In this case, I prefer reading a book or listening to music. The songs that I prefer are these
- "Castle on the Hill" by Ed Sheeran
- "This house is not for sale" by Bon Jovi
- "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons ft. Kendrick Lamar
- "Dirty" by Loic Nottet
- "Counting Stars" by Onerepublic
