Tanita Tikaram - Twist in My Sobriety

Hello! I’ve prepared a new listening exercise

for you. This time it’s a song by Tanita Tikaram – “Twist in My Sobriety”.

The song probably doesn’t match the mood of New Year’s Eve, yet, in my opinion, it’s incredibly atmospheric…

Watch the song’s sepia coloured video clip, which, by the way, was set in a rural village in Bolivia, and try to complete the gaps!

Tomorrow you’ll get another song exercise, this time about a song to dance, which reminds me of New Year’s Eve parties… Which one? – You have to wait till tomorrow!
