*song: brother is bad
*singer: girls generation
1) Little girls want to have love relations with him. But he is older than girls. So he used to think that girls are still young like baby. These girls want to let him know that I'm not young and I can do one's best for you. I sympathize with these girls..
2) These girls sing eagerly. And they express sad feelings. Because they have to let him know their eager love for him.

My favorite song is You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban.
http:// www. Youtube.com/watch?v=tH5vLYJdZ5Q
1)
When we are very hard and depressed, There is someone(You) who wants to help us.
Someone(You) may be God,parents, friends,lovers and so on.
If we are disappointed in anything, We may depend on someone(You).
Someone(You) encourages us to have a hope.
So we can stand up under any conditions.
In my opinion, I think someone(You)is the Lord, Jesus.
Jesus is the one who raise me up.
When I hear it, I can imagine that life goes on in a better way.
Especially, I am much impressed by the lyrics. For example, "You raise me up to more than I can be."
I know that everything is possible in Jesus.
2)
He puts his mind and soul in this song.
His attitude is inspiring and hopeful.
He requests earnestly toward someone(You,the Lord).
