Week 5 Blog Post : Frank Sinatra

 Nancy (With the Laughing Face) by Frank Sinatra reminds so much of an older love song, which is exactly what it is in my opinion.  He repeatedly brings up this special person, and how much he can't possibly survive without her.  Bringing up the emotions of the kisses they share, how her 'laughing face' can brighten up any day, changing winter into summer.  He calls her an angel a couple times, that tell me he can't live without her.  Saying that any other girl could never make him feel all the emotions she does, and he doesn't want to be with anyone other than her.  To feel the love he feels for this girl, I only dream of finding one day, I mean who doesn't want to find pure, true love?  The instruments in the background only make the song better, they provide peace and serenity.  They give off a lovey dovey kind of feeling you would find in an older movie, when the main guy finally gets the girl he has been after the whole time, realizes she is all he has ever wanted.

    I think this is a cool song because I also agree that it is a good old love song. I also think its cool that he always is talking about this special someone and how much he loves them. I also really like the instruments in the background and they also make it sound so good.

    Hi Maleah! Excellent song choice, I chose the same one lol. I love your comment about “pure, true love”. I absolutely agree that’s the undertone in the song. It’s all about his live for Nancy and her laughing face. I also love your comment about the instrumental accompaniment adding a sort of peace and serenity to the number and the old-timey feel you get from it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Week 8 : The Rolling Stones

Image
 To start of this 'amazing' Monday, we are jamming out to THE ROLLING STONES!  One of the best 'old school' bands that I grew up on as a kid, and lets just say I was very excited when I saw this on the songs of the week list.  Just by the very beginning of the song you are already in such a good mood, and just completely vibing with the characters in the song.  I should probably tell you what song I picked for this week now that I think about it, the song I chose for this week is Honky Tonk Women by The Rolling Stones.  This songs brings back a lot of summer memories for me from my childhood.  The one memory I can place with this song was in the summer when I was 7 or 8, me and cousins were learning how to skateboard in front of my grandparents house on a hot summer day.  We just finished drawing all over the concrete with chalk and finished an otter pop, then you hear the stereo from the backyard blaring this song while me and my cousin crashed into e...

Week 7 : The Beach Boys

 Can't believe this is week 7, only a couple more weeks left!!  Anyway this week I chose one of the many amazing songs by the one and only BEACH BOYS!  The first time I ever heard The Beach Boys was on a CD my dad gave me (along with lots of other old bands and artists I absolutely adore) when my parents gave me a CD player for a birthday when I was younger.  The Beach Boys bring back a lot of great memories for me, and the song I chose this week was Fun, Fun, Fun.  Right off the bat you get summer vibes in my opinion, no other song gives off this kind of nostalgic feeling of being under the song all day.  The song talks about how this girl isn't gonna stop having fun with her life no matter what her dad says, she is just living her best life.  The melody and tune is so upbeat and lively, and the background singers add even more serenity to the song itself.  Listening to this song you can picture all of the fun times these people have just writing...
