A Head Full of Dreams

I have a new song to share with you! 😁

This is one of my favourite songs of Coldplay. It is called "A head full of dreams" and inspired the name of this blog 😉 .
I use it in my classroom to reinforce the verb "to have got" and the present perfect tense.

Of course, this is not the only reason. In this case, the song talks about how ideal would be a world with no pain or drama, no hunger, no discrimination... A world where people chose kindness and compassion instead of cruelty and violence.

Coldplay = Education in Values

The lyrics are awesome. Enjoy the song and pay attention to Charles Chaplin. Yes, Chaplin is the off voice at the beginning of the video, pronouncing a fantastic and moving speech taken from his film "The great dictator".

"You, the people have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure!"
Charles Chaplin.


Another video, now with lyrics included (the correct spelling is "miracles", by the way; the word in the video is incorrect):
