The beatles

Two of my favorite songs done by The Beatles are yesterday, and for no one. Yesterday was written and performed by paul McCartney. I interpreted the song like he was missing someone from his life that  he had recently lost, because of a decision he had made. For no one, was written by John Lennon and has a darker tone to it. comparing the two, its interesting to see the balance of dark and light. Both songs exhibit signs of lonesomeness or solitude but are expressed in two different sounds, that are both enjoyable.

Pearl Jam

Pearl Jam Rocks my socks off my feet. Lol im funny, just kidding. Anyways......... I grew up listening to pearl jam as a kid when my dad would play it loud in the house. I always loved it and I have been listening to them forever. I probably know every song by them like no joke. As I said in my last blog, Eddie Vedder is on my top three favorite singers of all time list. I also like when he goes solo too. Big Hard Sun is my all-time favorite song I have ever heard him sing. His voice is very calm and soothing and some people say that they cant hear what he is saying half the time but I can. Pearl Jam is awesome. The end.

Nirvana

I love this band. Always have, always will. It was a joy to get to listen to it in class. Kurt Cobain is up there with my favorite singers. I still cant decide who is my favorite out of him, Dave Grohl, and Chris Cornell. Anyways, the video we got to watch was simple, yet it gave you a feel for what seeing them in  concert must have been like. Kurt was really funny too and I thought that it was a little bit strange how he started smoking a cigaret on stage. They played my all time favorites such as Lake of Fire and Lithium. Such great songs and such an awesome band!

Dimelo- Enrique Iglesias

So this blog is kind of going to be out of the ordinary........ This song is one that we listened to in spanish class and now I just cant stop listening to it. The song is about love and telling someone you love them. The reason that I think this song is cool is because A, it is really catchy and B, I can understand most of it. I think its awesome how once I learn a new language, I can kind of feel out the culture musically and be able to know what it means. It is a really cool feeling when I can sing the song and memorize the words in spanish. It is like learning on a whole new level.

Straight Outa Compton

I am so glad we listened to this in class. Not because I like it, but because it made me laugh so hard. Highlight of me week! If you actually listen to the lyrics, you will find that it is quite funny and makes you look stupid for actually liking it. Who the hell makes a song about a crack whore? What has our world come to? Its shit like this that makes me frightened by what my kids are going to grow up with. You can argue all you want about how this is sooo great and all, but it has absolutely no meaning and to me, it is not music. At all.

Paul's Boutique

This album is so great! It is a kind of rap that I can deal with because it has a little bit of rock in it. It is just so different from what I normally listen to, which I like. It is so cool how the Beastie Boys transformed. They went from doing rap type stuff to rock. Everything they have done so far, I have loved. Anyways, I need to get this album ASAP so I can play it on repeat.

Train- Drops of Jupiter

This song is so amazing! I could literally listen to it on repeat and never get tired of it. This was a song that I grew up listening to because it was always one of my mom's favorite songs so my dad would play it in the car a lot so we would hace something to remember her by. So whenever I am missing her I just play this song, cry for a while, and everything is better. I love the lead singer's voice and how the song is slow and the lyrics meaningful (to me at least). Also, listening to the lyrics kind of describes her and how she lived a pretty short life. It says "Did the wind sweep you off your feet? Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day?" and "Did you sail across the sun? Did you make it to the Milkyway to see the lights all faded?And that heaven is overrated."It also says "Did you miss me while you were lookin for yourself out there?" And that to me it means are you missing me in heaven? Just listen to the song. It is absolutely amazing.

U2

I like U2 and I cannot belive that they are still going because they are so old. Their song "Only to be With You" is probably one of my favorites by them. It just sounds really unique vocal wise and the melody is awesome. It is really mezmorizing how bands like this and the Red Hot Chilli Pepers were nothing at first. They are so popular today but when they first came out people thought they were just a band that would come and go. I wonder what made them so popular.
