Maybe as you already know my favorite rapper is Eminem. I have a lot of memories with his song Mockingbird. It was the first Eminem song that I listened. It was 2005, when I turned thirteen years old. For my birthday my parent presented my CD player. At that time it was really popular in my country. I only had one CD disc with some Ukrainian songs. My best friend had a CD player too, and he had a lot of CD disc. The CD disc he gave me was with Eminem songs. The first song was in the list is Mockingbird. At that time I didn't speak any English, but somehow I really liked it. This song reminds me of the time lived in Ukraine. Also about my best friend who lives in Ukraine.
Ooh I like the song too
ReplyDeleteOoh I like the song too
ReplyDeleteAlex,
ReplyDeletethis is a great coming-of-age story. You are really describing how your music player became your independence, your status symbol, your own at a time when not everything was readily available as it is today. That is a great implied aspect of your story here. I can personally relate to your story because I still remember the day when I got my first player and the first song that came with it is tattooed to my soul.Hmm, I haven't heard much about good old Eminem lately. Is he retired :-)?
I think he doesn't have any new song. or maybe i didn't hear them yet :)
DeleteOMG my aunt gave me a CD player as a birthday gift when I turned thirteen. What a coinccidence! :)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, when did you figure out the lyric of this song then?
ReplyDeleteWhen I got to America, i figured it out.
DeleteEminem is great singer. I love bunch of his songs, and this song is wonderful specially for someone in thirteen years old.
