Listening Log Assignment: song used – Adore You by Harry Styles
1) Three phrases in the song that striked me were:
“You don’t have to say you love me
You don’t have to say nothing
You don’t have to say you’re mine”
They striked me because these lyrics represent relationships in modern 21st century such as no commitment, and label-less to the youth which allows the person to feel less pressured in what a relationship is really like.
2) Three repetitions I noticed in the song were:
“I’d walk through fire for you
Just let me adore you
Like it’s the only thing I’ll ever do”
It seems that the chorus in the song always repeats these three same phrases.
3) In the song, I did not notice any changes it always stayed on topic along with the same tone which is a happy one.
Listening Log Assignment #2: song used – Imagine by John Lennon (Dubstep Remix)
1) Three phrases in the song that striked me were:
“Imagine all the people living for today”
“Nothing to kill or die for”
“Imagine all the people living life in peace”
They strike me because it represents the reality of how the world actually is, instead of what the lyrics says. The lyrics show a good version of the world in illusion.
2) Three repetitions I noticed in the song were:
“Imagine” always starts in every other sentence
Peace is always mentioned as a central theme
Piano beat is always the same and reoccurring
3) Some changes I noticed in the song was the beat, tempo and style as it is a remix of the song.
