3 Songs Essay
800-1000 Words Is Over Excessive
By Jared Frost
Some say that this generation doesn’t know what music is good, that we only listen to wub wubz and dubstep. Well I disagree! this generation knows music better than any other. With songs like Gangnam style and party rock anthem, how can you go wrong!? The music I listen to is not dumb, it’s awesome! The songs I will be using are
“Uptown Funk Ft Bruno Mars” by Mark Ronson, “Smoke Rings” by Royal Tusk, and
“Imperial” by Julian Calor. If you have listened to the song “Uptown Funk Ft Bruno Mars” by Mark Ronson, you know that this song is a typical funk song. This song isn’t the kind of music that makes you want to go wild and party hard, it’s the kind of song that makes you feel oddly happy. I think a lot of the feelings that come from listening to this song are from the beat at the tone of voice, an upbeat rhythm and a pumped up tone of voice add up to a feel­good song. Listening to this song makes you feel like you could actually do anything (even though you can’t). Listening to this song can bring several images to mind, like a bunch of people just walking around singing. Theres nothing wrong with that so this isnt a bad song choice. This song is just a feel­good song so nobody can really argue against it.

One of my favourite songs to listen to is “Smoke Rings” by Royal Tusk. This song is an indie­rock style of music, not too heavy, but not light. I like how in the chorus of this song that it gets some more guitar and drum actions, it sounds a bit gritty and intense at the chorus but that’s my favourite part! I don't usually listen to such heavy music, but to me, the chorus is pretty awesome. The chorus has some slow talk and slow playing, then it gets heavy and gritty. It’s my favourite part in the whole song! I don’t understand why anyone would not like me listening to this music, it’s just my favourite indie­rock song. I only really like the song for it’s gritty chorus, some people

    When I first listened to this song, the first musical element that I heard were the drums. It give me a sense of vibe that goes through you with every hit which makes a good thing inside you. It starts off with a crash symbol and a bass drum hitting together, and then all you hear is just the bass drum hitting with the ride symbol hitting every now and then. This helps the audience get engaged into what the song is going to be about and what happens next. After a few measures, you hear the lead acoustic guitar. It starts playing the melody that you hear throughout the whole song. The instruments that are playing make you feel sad and happy at the same time. So mostly the main three musical elements that you…

    “Hungry” is a definite album highlight for me. Starting with flamenco-style guitar flourishes, it quickly turns into a song much like Motley Crue’s ‘Kickstart My Heart’ but even more lively and energetic if that is even possible.…

    Imagine a song that reminds you of the early Saturday mornings where you sat staring at the television screen watching one your favorite cartoons as everyone in your house is fast asleep. Now imagine that you're an adult, you're stressed out, attempting to balance your responsibilities and trying to figure out what the heck to do with your life. You sit at your work desk staring at the computer, you're longing to be a kid again, young, free-spirited, free of worries and ready to take on the world and make it a better place. Now imagine a song that brings both your childhood and present worlds together and allows you to be your inner-superhero and conquer the world-that song for me is “Wonderful Everyday: Arthur” by Chance the Rapper and The Social Experiment.…

    Combine all these aspects into one song and you are guaranteed a top spot in the music charts. Every pop song in the 21st century has at least one of the components that were listed, which shows the amount of creativity in the pop genre. Compared to other musical genres, including rock, alternative, and jazz, pop is the most underappreciated and deserves more acknowledgment than the constant features in the media and local radio…

    In the song everything dies they took a guitar part from ---- and threw some lyrics on it with their own twist. The song was so beautiful it made ---- cry and I can understand why it truly is an amazing song. The guitar solo at the beginning of the piece is unexplainable: pure awesomeness. The vocals on this song have more of an alternative rock feel to it. In my opinion another strong asset to the songs are that they are sung in English, it helps me relate to the songs since English is the language I am most familiar with. The vocals are sung in a high pitch with a mellow tone which makes the tambre sophisticated.…

    With a slight reminiscence to childhood. The mood is dreamy, psychedelic, and hypnotic. This song makes me feel as though I am dreaming, woken, and drifting back to sleep again. The reason for this is the dynamics of the song the quick variation of accelerando and ritardando. As well as the quick time signature changes placed throughout the song. I think the drone like harmony creates the hypnotic feeling in this song. Emotionally this song makes me happy, it makes me feel airy and whimsical. This song was originally said to be about LSD, but it was inspired by Lennon’s son. The common misconception is understandable, this song evokes a “high” feeling when the artists stretch some of the lyrics making their voices sound warped or higher pitched in some places. The mood goes hand in hand with the musical…

    The song starts off with a drum hit and a heavily effected guitar riff. It is a very sharp sudden start to a song giving it a dramatic and 'in your face' feel to it. The guitar is drenched in flange ,distortion, reverb and chorus effects to make it sound weird and a little disturbing to the ear that adds to the weird nature of the song. The drums are fast and stabbed to generate a violent rhythmic feel. In the background you can hear a swelled deep bass sound keeping a pulse on the first beat of every bar, because it has been put through an envelope filter and the attack setting has been set high ,it fades in quite slowly making it seem off beat and out of time which gives the effect of the song being very fast but also quite slow and sinister at the same time. In the background you can hear a faint guitar line that is also saturated in effects and there is a lot of reverb and a LFO filter on it to take out the high end of the effect so it sounds distant and as if it were being played in the next room. After 8 bars this starts to increase in volume and the LFO is opened up after 14 bars to make it come to the front of the mix., at the same time the druming kicks in, this and the distorted heavy guitars that play a stabbed part that starts in bar 7 all increase the creepy haunting feel this song has. In the 22nd bar there is a vocal sample of the word 'hey' that has a delay on it and pans across the stereo spectrum.…

    Instead, we get sprawling, summery tracks, with dialed-down BPMs and an extra focus on atmosphere. The entrancing, The Weeknd-featuring opener “Nocturnal” is a brilliant starting point, picking up right where Settle’s closer “Help Me Lose My Mind” left off. It’s one of the high points of the record, and it perfectly sets the mood for an album that might be most enjoyable as the sun sets on a summer…

    As I sat and listened to the song with my eyes closed as to avoid any distractions I paid close attention to the rhythm of the song and found it to be a duple meter with a higher note at the end of the succession of rhythmic pulses. I found the melody to be conjunct where the frequency of sounds are closer together rather then far apart. I find the song to be without any tonal tension and more consonance sounding. The texture of the song is polyphony with the unique sounds combine to form different lines which simultaneously create the music. I hear what I believe to be a lot of electronically produced sounds. It isn't easy to determine just based of listening as a lot of electronically produced sounds can mimic the actual instruments sounds very well. If I was to assume I would say its not the actual instruments being used to create some of the sounds I hear. There is clear percussion instrument sounds, as well as some strange robotic sounds in the background. The drumming seems to be the over all basis of the music, with different levels and pitches of drumming combined to create the overall effect of the song. There is an almost hollow effect used at the beginning of the song. Just a few…
