Week 9 : The Eagles

 I am so happy that The Eagles is on this week songs choices!  Hotel California is one of my all time favorite songs, anytime I hear it, I just think of my best friend and my dad.  Every time me and my family play Guitar Hero on the WII, this was always one of the main songs we would perform.  There was this one summer that me and my best friend played Guitar Hero almost every single day during summer and during the school year.  We would play this song over and over again, switching between bass and guitar, switching the difficulties just to enjoy the songs, but mainly to pass the song at 100%.  The guitar solo towards the end of the song and you just get the chills running down your spine, you just want to experience the song in person, with a lighter in your hand, waving it around while screaming the lyrics at the top of your lungs.  The song is just something that the lyrics and the melody don't always match up, the melody is all happy, and the lyrics are talking about a getaway with ghosts in a basic way.  Yet somehow, in any part of the song, you can tell exactly who wrote it, and exactly how it goes.

    I really enjoyed listening to this song! The song is very chill and laid back for sure. I also remember my friends and I playing guitar hero to songs like these and it was just super fun and laid back! The guitar solo at the end is very smooth and it makes you want to just close your eyes and just vibe along with the music.

    Ya know, I didn't listen to this song that much before this class, so I wasn't as familiar with it as a lot of other people were. It's really cool to see people who love this song, really opened up a whole new world of music for me. Great post!

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

Image
 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...

Week 5 Blog Post : Frank Sinatra

Image
 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 ...
