  1. 1) Yes ,I Have.
    2) My favorites are: My Way ; i've got you under my skin ; Fly me to the moon. Also I like the way you look tonight and Stangers in the night. These last are not on the list

    3) MY WAY:

    For what is a man, what has he got?
    If not himself, then he has naught
    To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels
    The record shows I took the blows and did it my way

    4) My way
    He wrote this song at a moment that he was really depressed. He retired to a house in the countryside to be alone. There he made a balance of his life and he realized that he lived his life as he wanted and so was born the song 'My Way'

  2. Yes, i had heard of Sinatra many times before, i really like him, i think that know him is one of the best thing that i could get from my grandfather.
    Ones of my favorite are: The best is yet yo come, something, That's life and of course that my way too. But my favorite one is not on that list and it's strangers in the night.
    My favorite line is : something in your eyes was so inviting, something in your smile was so exciting, something in my heart told me i must have you. From Strangers in the night.

    For the story i always imagine the scene of the song Something Stupid, it would be like this:
    There was a handsome man in a gala dinner looking at a beautyfull girl, and althought that he didn't know what to say, he took the necessary courage and went where she was standing and try to explain her how much she like to him, but his tonge get tied becouse the nervousness and he just cuold say that he love her.

  4. 1) Yes, i have. My father has some cd's of Sinatra.

    2)My favorite song is "Theme from New York, New York" and "that´s life"

    3)In new york song, I like the phrase:
    "That's life, that's what all the people say
    You're ridin' high in April, shot down in May
    But I know I'm gonna change that tune
    When I'm back on top, back on top in June"
    because I think that in life we ​​have ups and downs. And bad times pass you have to know that times are good then.

    4)I choose the song "New York":
    I imagine the story of a man who likes big cities. Who likes the movement. Who dreams every night to have a chance in the big city of New York.
    Also living in a small town and sad. So you want to go to New York for any opportunity that will change your life.

  5. 1- He's one of my favorites artist (behind Ray Charles), obviously i heard him.

    2- I will choose:
    Fly me to the moon
    I've got you under my skin
    New york, New york

    3- "came fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away.."
    "So deep in my heart you're really a part of.."
    " Let me see what spring its like on Jupiter and Mars.."

    4- The song i choose it will be Fly me to the moon:
    The story behind it will be the Frank it's in love with a rocket that will fly to the moon and go to jupiter and mars, so whe sings to that rocket to fly him to let him know how it will be the life outside the stratosphere.

  8. 1 - Yes, although not contemporary to me, I had already heard the songs
    2 - Luck be a Lady, New York New York and For once in my life
    3-A Lady Does not turn leave her escort
    It is not fair, it is not nice
    A lady does not wander all over the room
    And blow on some other guys says (Luck be a lady)

    I want to wake up, in a city that never sleeps
    and find I'm king of the hill
    top of the heap (New York New York)

    For once in my life I've got someone who needs me
    Someone I've needed so long
    For once unafraid I can go where life leads me
    And somehow I know I'll be strong (For once in my life)

    4 - There was once a man of a very very small town in the state of Arizona who wanted to fulfill his dream of visiting the big city, New York. His work was very poor, so for his birthday his best friends gave her a trip for him and his wife to New York
