I think this is one good way to study English - read (and/or sing) the lyrics while listening to the song. I've been planning to do something like this for ages - I just need to find the right song and the right footage to go with it.
I came across Steven Dunston's music a while back. Remember show 706? I introduced the song "California".
The other day while looking for something on my HD I found that I haven't deleted most of the video footage from the "Road To Hokkaido" series. I thought this song would go perfectly with that footage. The message in the song is exactly the philosophy we had - we could have driven to Hokkaido on the "freeway" but we decided to take the "slow road" instead so we could look at things along the way.
I think this is a really nice song.
