1. Songs almost always contain authentic, natural language.
2. A variety of new vocabulary can be introduced to students through songs.
3. Songs are usually very easily obtainable. 
4. Songs can be selected to suit the needs and interests of the students.
5. Grammar and cultural aspects can be introduced through songs.
6. Time length is easily controlled.
7. Students can experience a wide range of accents.
8. Song lyrics can be used in relating to situations of the world around us.
9. Students think songs are natural and fun.

For all these reasons, and because Music tames our souls, let's enjoy this lovely song by Coldplay.
