Note to recorder:

I would really appreciate it if you could record a few sentences (it does not have to be long!) about your favourite singer / band (preferably worldwide famous artists!), why you like him/her/them, what your favourite song from this artist/band is, why you like it (= what this song makes you feel or think of), anything you want to add!

Thanks a lot for your help!

    My name is Carrie.
    I'm from Memphis, Tennessee, but I currently live in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in the United States.
    My favourite band is Alice in Chains, led by singer Layne Stayley.
    I like them because their music is unique, and always evokes emotions in me whenever I hear one of their songs.
    What I like about the lead singer, Layne Stayley, is the melodic, beauty of his voice. The harmonizing done in the song is one of the best things about their music.
    My favourite song by Alice in Chains is probably one called "Nutshell". It's from the album "Jar of Flies".
    When I listen to this song, it nearly brings me to tears. It brings back memories of my teen years, some of the pain I went through, and the emotions I felt at that time in my life. However, it also reminds me of how different my life is now. I'm no longer alone. I have a wonderful husband, 3 daughters and a son, and we all love each other so much. I'm no longer alone, and I never doubt the sincerity of their love for me, which is something I struggled with as a teenager.
    I feel that music is extremely important, at least in my own life. It can be theraputic, uplifting, inspiring, deeply personal, bringing back memories both good and bad, and is an overall soundtrack for our lives. It brings people together in wonderful way.
    I have many other favorite songs, some of which are from wildly different genres. I am 39 years old, so I've had a lot of time to find other types of music that I love. This was just one example of a band that has always meant a lot to me.
    I am on the RhinoSpike website in the hopes that one day I will learn to speak and understand the French language. I've already started finding new songs in French that I love, but I look forward to the day when I won't need the English subtitles to understand the words being sung. It just doesn't feel quite the same.
