Music has the true power to make you feel connected in the world. It is full of emotion. It adds spice and color to every aspect of life. Music servers many purposes and roles. It evokes emotions within us. It is a way for us to get along and be connected as humans. GOOD music makes everything better.
I wouldn’t say my relationship has changed much overall as a result of this course. I pay a little more attention to all the sounds and transitions in songs than I did before. I learned some vocabulary and terms for things I didn’t know names for before. This was a fun interactive class, a good way to connect with music!
“Your Woman”
Produced and performed by: White Town
13 January 1997
I like this song, it has a lot of emotion in the instrumental’s tone. It is sung in kind of a monotone range with it sounding like it is almost being sung through a phone. His voice is a very unique timbre, or made to sound that way. I really enjoy the range of the instruments of this song it is very catchy. This song makes me feel more connected emotionally in the beat rather than lyrics.

“OK”
Producer: Robin Schulz
Sung by: James Blunt

I love the timbre of James Blunt’s voice, it is angelic! With this electronic sounding song’s timbre, it is the perfect mix. He is able to get his range pretty high in this song. I love the instrumentals too they sound so beautiful. This song has a catchy, fast upbeat sound. There is a lot of building up between transitions. This song really makes me feel more connected with the idea that other people in the world sometimes have the same feelings I do.
