My favorite song is "My Happy Ending". This song sings by Avril Lavigne and it is collected in her album "Under My Skin". This song is different from other rock music. It contains a love story in it, and this make it to be a special rock-and-roll.

When I heard this song first time, I was attracted by the song deeply. I was watching the "MTV" channel, and after a short time, I saw the song My Happy Ending's MV. It is awlsome that i have a very good impressions. The song tells about a young lady and her boyfriend. In the song, the young lady was very disappointed by his boyfriend. Because he didn't love her wholeheartedly, he just want to philander her love, he just want to have her body. After he did so many harmful things to her, she realized that it's time to leave him.

So, "My Happy Ending" is my favorite song, and if one day you hear the song, I guess you might like this song as me.
