First Disappointing Blog Post

 Hi.  My name is Kaybrie and this is my blog.

I love music.  Music is great.  My favorite genre of music is any kind of Alternative or Rock styles, but I've been getting back into older music recently.  My favorite song at the moment is, "It's Been a Long, Long Time"  by Harry James and His Orchestra.  This song is also featured in the Marvel movie "Endgame,"  so you might've heard it if you're a fan of those films.

Seventh Disappointing Blog Post

 For the seventh week's blog post, I chose the song "Eleanor Rigby," from The Beatles.  Before we listened to this one during class, I had only heard this particular Beatles song in the movie "Yesterday."  As I listened to it for this week's post, I was blown away by this piece!  The musicality of this song is crazy, and unique compared to other songs by The Beatles.  The background music for this song employs a classical octet, with four violins, two violas, and two cellos.  Because all of these string instruments are being used, this song stands out.  Not only from other songs this group has put out, but other songs from similar groups within the era. Because of the immediate start/rush into the song, it can startle you at first listen.  I can't really tell if the score played by the various string instruments sounds happy or sad.  I feel as though the music kind of contradicts the lyrics a bit though, with confusing and somewhat melancholy...

Eighth (But Technically Ninth) Disappointing Blog Post

 Last week was definitely not the best time, but I'm going to try to make up for it with this blog post.  For this weeks song, I chose "Crocodile Rock"  by Elton John.  I've always loved this song!  I've loved hearing it in movies, on the radio, and then I got to listen to it for school!  Which I have to admit, was pretty great.  This song starts out with three piano chords, then goes into an upbeat melody with synthetic sounding instruments added to the piano base sound.  Then in the chorus, it sounds like there was a little country influence, along with the upbeat, classic rock 'n' roll sound.  Overall, "Crocodile Rock"  is an upbeat, and fun song that you can really move your feet to.  Hence the lyric, "Well Crocodile Rocking is something shocking, when your feet just can't sit still.  I never knew me a better time, and I guess I never will." This song really has a sense of nostalgia associated with it.  Remembering tho...
