Всем привет! Это 2-й выпуск рубрики Sing and Learn в этом семестре. В прошлом семестре мы с вами начали готовиться к концерту Red Hot Chili Peppers и разобрали одну из их песен. Я уверенна, что все знают, что через день после Перцев будет выступать не менее классная группа – Muse. И я решила, что пора бы попеть и их песни в нашей рубрике!
[Verse: 1]
I can't get these memories out of my mind
And some kind of madness has started to evolve
I tried so hard to let you go
But some kind of madness is swallowing me whole, yeah
[Chorus:]
I have finally seen the light
And I have finally realised what you mean
[Verse 2:]
And now I need to know is this real love
Or is it just madness keeping us afloat?
And when I look back at all the crazy fights we had
It's like some kind of madness was taking control, yeah
[Chorus:]
And now I have finally seen the light
And I have finally realised what you need
And now I have finally seen the end
And I'm not expecting you to care, no
But I have finally seen the light
And I have finally realised
I need to love
I need to love
Come to me
Trust in a dream
Come on and rescue me
Yes I know I can be wrong
Maybe I'm too headstrong
Our love is...
Madness

Для того, чтобы лучше разбираться во всех этих герундиях и инфинитивах, нужно больше читать, слушать и смотреть. И тогда, verb patterns будут сами откладываться у вас в голове.
