Gone Country

  For this weeks blog I chose a song that I wish I had listened to sooner in my life. I chose to listen to Gone Country by Alan Jackson. I have always liked country music and I have heard of Alan Jackson and couple of his songs but not this one. But I really liked this song because I felt like low key describes my small town. Because throughout all year no one dresses like they are from the country and then a rodeo comes a long and then it looks like they have “gone country”. I think it mostly relates to when he has the lyric “look at those boots” because everyone only pulls out their boots for one occasion and I am one of these people. But I feel like this song is really the country style that I am used to. It is not super twangy and western it is just a good in between. I also just feel like Gone Country is also just a good song to sing along to during the summer or really anytime. I would always recommend this song now after listening to it, or just any country song in that ca...

Eleanor Rigby

  I chose this song for this week because I thought I would break out and do a song that I had never heard before. But then I listened to it and I immediately recognized it from its use in todays different media platforms. But this was my first time listening to it all the way through. I thought it was very interesting to listen to the lyrics of this song. It was probably some of the darkest lyrics that I have heard so far in this unit. But I think it is interesting to also listen to the instrumental behind the lyrics. Because for the most part it is just back ground music it is just back and forth beats until you get to the chorus and then it has more of an intense moment. In this moment the strings go down in tune and then return to the back ground playing. But at the chorus the instruments have their isolated moment when that is all you have. It is a combination of strings and it really makes the chorus strong. Because they lyrics are intense “Ah look at all the lonely people” a...

Thrift Shop

  So for the last blog of this class I decided to go out with a bang and what better way to do that then doing a song by Macklemore. I decided to do Thrift Shop by Macklemore and featuring Wanz. Ever since this song came out I have always loved it and thought it was funny. I love the beginning with the little kid asking if they can go thrift shopping and it just goes into him asking what on repeat for a couple seconds. Then the chorus is amazing to and it just makes you want to sing along. But then there is also a part where it just repeats “ I wear your grandads clothes and I look incredible” and I just love these lyrics I think they are funny and fun to sing along to. Also throughout the song they have different music that just adds to the music. They have a saxophone for the most part but then they had fun sounds like a cash register that adds to the fun aspect of this song. I also feel like it relates to a lot of kids because a lot of people prefer going to the thrift store rat...
