In American English, we say, "crust" not "base." We are more likely to say, "Let's go" than "Shall we go." Other than those two moments, this conversation could be in American English.

Nothing Else Matters
I love the pace of this song, and I like to put student's recommendations up. So many things matter to me, though. What matters to you?

What does your mother think about...?
When I did a youtube search for motherly lyrics, this song came up.
It's slow enough to understand.
It demonstrates good examples of the grammar we're doing.
One of my students this session wrote that Pink Floyd is good.
This is NOT a nice, happy, loving mother's day kind of song. If you hate sad anti-mother/anti-government kinds of songs, don't watch this one.
What are some of your mother's opinions? What are (or were) some things she often said?

Cold November Rain
This song is long and as depressing as a cold November rain, but it has some great examples of simple present tense and indefinite pronouns...
Do you have a partner? How long have you been together? What little things do you do for each other to keep the relationship happy?
John Gottman claims he can tell in five minutes whether a couple will stay together or divorce by how they talk to each other. He says that couples often make little bids for attention. He says that if you notice and respond when your partner tries to get your attention, you are more likely to be happy for a long time.
