There are always some sayings that sound fun or strange while learning
English. “I have to face the music. ” is a useful and funny saying. When
someone says it, it does not mean that he is planning to go to a concert or
hear a singer. It is something far less happy, for example, when you are
called in by your boss to explain why you did this and did that or why you
made such a stupid mistake.

From time to time, every one of us has to “face the music”. As young
children, we can all remember father’s angry words “I want to talk to you. ”
“You should be punished!” and that is only because we did not listen to him.
What a terrible thing it was! We students have to “face the music” in the middle
or at the end of every term. The result of the exam will decide whether we will
“face the music” or not.

The expression is well known to each American, young or old. It is at
least 100 years old. Where did it come from? An American writer named James
said in 1851 that actors while waiting to go on stage first used the expression.
After they got their order to go on, they often said, “It’s time to go to face
the music. ” That is exactly what they did-face the music-playing group that was
just below the stage. An actor might be worried or nervous as he moved on to
the stage in front of the audience that might be friendly or perhaps unfriendly
especially if he forgot his lines. However, he had to go out.
Now you can understand, “face the music” comes to mean that you have to
face something no matter how unpleasant it might be.
