"Night Fever," by Bee Gees

    Oh. my. Gosh. I LOVE this song! This week I landed on one of my favorite dancy-dancy songs, “Night Fever,” by Bee Gees! I’ve heard other songs we’ve listened to before, but this is one of the first songs that I already knew the lyrics to before coming to class. The strong beat and funky sounds just make me feel something no other songs do. My favorite time to listen to this song is on a playlist with others like it when I’m renovating or doing chores. Bee Gees make any work go by faster. 

    The first lyrics in the song go, “Listen to the ground, There is movement all around, There is something goin’ down, And I can feel it.” Just listening to this song makes me feel so happy and makes me want to dance. The lyrics go perfectly with the song and they know just how they make you feel. I can imagine people back in the seventies with their fancy hair and clothes jamming out to this song. It is songs like this that make me wish I was born back then! It really must be the night fever.

    I agree this song is so upbeat and "dancy-dancy" ha ha. I can imagine people in a juke box diner or at a concert just jamming out to this song. Bee Gees definitely has such a unique style.

    Haylee, I like your description of the song that you have put into your blog post. Like you, I love it when you walk into class and there is a song that you recognize playing and sometimes you can even sing along. I like how you wrote down the lyrics and described how you think it made people feel

"Graceland," by Paul Simon

  Alrighty folks, it is just that time of the week again. I am SO PUMPED! We are almost there, everybody! It’s been quite the adventure, and I am almost sad that it is passing by so fast. ALMOST. Well, anyways, this week’s post is about the one and only Paul Simons and his beauty of a song that is “Graceland.” Listening to this song just puts me in such a peaceful mood. I think it is so cute and I could see myself adding it to one of my playlists. It’s got a little bit of funk to it, which could be good for dance parties, but I’m thinking of it more as a roadtrip kind of song.  Unfortunately, I cannot relate much to this song. I’ve never been married, to Memphis, Tennessee, or had a child! Although, one part of the song mentions being a ‘human trampoline.’ The idea is when you feel like you’re falling or tumbling in turmoil, it’s like being on a trampoline. Which I could see? I don’t know, some songs are a little funky in their music and lyrics. It’s alright though, I stil...

"Barbary Allen," by Jean Ritchie

For the first ever blog post, I knew I had to do "Barbary Allen" by Jean Ritchie. While reading through the lyrics, I found there is a very good storyline to follow. I believe that is why I like it so much. In this song, William Green is in love with Barbary Allen. However, Barbary believes that they will never be together and lets him die. Then, in a moment of realization after he’s gone, she feels almost guilty. I can almost relate to her in a way. I have had a guy interested in me before and I felt bad letting him down. He didn’t die, but it honestly seemed like a little part of him did.             I also really love the sound of the song, surprisingly enough. Even though there is no music, it has a very distinctive tune. I couldn’t see myself listening to this everyday for fun, but every now and then it’ll be a good one to bring up. It's a sad song, but it's a good sad song. Sad songs are good to listen to even when I’m in a good mood. Also, this ...

"Taylor, Adele, & Silk Sonic's broken hearts club" Switched on Pop

     I decided to go for some extra credit and reflect on some Switched on Pop. An episode from last week titled Taylor, Adele, & Silk Sonic’s broken hearts club. I found myself enjoying it more than I thought I would. This episode is narrated by musicologist Nate Sloan, songwriter Charlie Harding, and guest Brittany Luse. The first sentence in the description literally says, “This week we are having a blast feeling really sad.” and honestly? Same. Finals are going to literally kill me. This drew me into to episode and got me interested.      This episode starts off with an ad. As usual. Besides that, we get to kick off with some Taylor Swift. The main focus on her was her recently rerecorded and released album Red . Brittany explains that she listened up on Taylor before they recorded and she had some interesting notes. While speaking on the song “All Too Well (Taylor’s Version),” she describes Taylor’s music throughout the years and how her older musi...
