I was raised with music therefore I like every genre. Seinnim ceol tíre agus mar sin cuirim suim san amhrán seo. I play folk music so therefore I have an interest in this song. Feileann an ceol go maith don téama. The music suits the theme well. Is sampla den gheantraí é seo agus cuireann an ceol spion maith orm. This is an example of upbeat music and it puts me in a good mood. Is sampla den suantraí é seo agus cuireann an ceol mé ar mo shuaimhneas. This is an example of a lullaby and it makes me feel calm. Is sampla den gholtraí é seo agus cuireann an t-amhrán brón orm. This is an example of a slow sad song that makes me feel sad. Chuir an ceol ______________________ i gcuimhne dom.
