I'm really into ”The House of the Rising Sun”by the Animals lately.
I have been listening to the song over and over again but never get tired of it.
It is a folk song that has been sung in the UK since the 17th century.
It is said to be one song of the beginnings of "folk rock".
At that time, this song won first place in UK and America.
Though, at first, I thought it was a bittersweet love song,
In fact, this song carried a profound meaning about life.
I didn't know there was such a deep meaning behind this song.

私は、最近、アニマルズの「朝日のあたる家 」に、本当に、はまっている。
「私は、繰り返しその曲を聴いているが、全く飽きない。」
それは、17世紀からイギリスで歌い継がれてきたフォークソングである。
”フォーク・ロック” の始まりの一曲と言われている。
この曲は、イギリスやアメリカで１位を獲得した。
最初、私は、それは、切ない恋の歌かと思っていたが、
実際は、人生についての深い意味を持つ歌だった。
この曲に、そのような深い意味があるとは知らなかった。

You say "the" before UK and USA and USSR. "The United States of America"
Though at first I thought it was a bittersweet love song, this song in fact carries a profound meaning about life.
(*'▽'*)
OK! (^_−)−☆
exactly! \(//∇//)\
It does not need a comma.
>"this song in fact carries a profound meaning about life.
" this song" is better than "in fact" is better behind " this song" than before " this song".
＞"carries"
I should have used the present form, not the past form.
Oh I see ! I understand it !

That’s true. Thank you for advising me it !

I did not actually know the name of that song, but it plays on the radio a lot. I really like this song, now that I know its name.
I'm relieved to hear that. (*^▽^*)

It is said to be one of the songs that started the beginnings of "folk rock."
For years, I used "rock." but then someone told me that this sequence was correct: "rock". Note the placement of the period. My original reasoning was the "the period should come last. However, I recent noticed a website that said "rock." was American usage and "rock". was British! HA! In fact, it rarely matters, unless you are formally publishing something or writing a business letter or resume, in which case consistency is more important than format.
At that time, this song was a Number 1 song on the radio in the UK and America.
At first, I thought it was a bittersweet love song.
"Space" is required. (*^_^*)
Thank you for posting the link.
I have visited your home page.
The examples in this home page are easy to understand.

That's great!
You have shown yourself a great scholar, as was expected!

I originally used "rock".
On this site, someone corrected it to "rock."
I often confuse "rock." and "rock".

Please let me add what I wrote.

Since then, I often confuse "rock." and "rock".

”one of the songs”
”that started the beginnings of”
That's a splendid expression!
･:*+.\(( (*^▽^*) ))/.:+
” was a Number 1 song ” → It's a wonderful phrase!
”on the radio” → The UK Singles Chart and the American charts are on the radio!
”in the UK” → It certainly needs "the".
Thank you for giving me good advice.

Previously, on this site,
someone advised that complex sentence was better than simple sentence.
So I tried that. \(//∇//)\
"class song."
That sounds fun. （＾Ｏ＾☆♪
Your graduating class in 1970, your class leaders, and of course you are passionate and excellent.
☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆
Your teachers and the local churches are enthusiastic about education.
･:*+.\(( (*'▽'*)))/.:+
You grew up with good friends in a good environment.

Therefore, I think you are excellent and sincere.

I've been studying how to write fiction. If done correctly, some sentences can be more than 100 words. One example is this sentence: "His shaggy hair whipped by the wind, his eyes hidden behind wraparound mirror shades, his mouth set in a grim smile, a .38 Police Special on the seat beside him, the corpse stuffed in the trunk, he drove the car carefully." It is from: http://richardgilbert.me/a-special-sentence-structure/
Sentence length is all about writing style.
Most scientific journals say nothing about it in their guidelines.
Thanks for telling me that information! (*^▽^*)
＞However, since I edit for both types of journals, British and American,
I needed to know the standards!
You are capable person!
(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))♡ I respect you.
＞So, it is not a big deal and I think most journal editors will ignore it completely!
It is important to me.
Thank you for teaching me it !

【romance novels】
One famous published writer of romance novels
used sentences with an average of only six words.
【scientific research papers】
For scientific research papers, I generally say,
"Use one idea for each sentence.
If a typed sentence is more than three lines look,
check to see if it has two or more ideas.
If so, consider making is shorter.
【fiction】

Thank you for sharing your valuable story on how to write sentences.
The length of the sentence is based on the writing style.
I was deeply moved by the explanation using these examples
"romance novels", "scientific research papers', "fiction".
