Listening Log Assignment #3: song used – Falling by Harry Styles (cover by: Jose Audisio)
1) Three phrases in the song that striked me were:
“I’m in my bed, and you are not here”
“Forget what I said, it’s not what I meant”
“And I can’t take it back, I can’t unpack the baggage you left”
They striked me because these lyrics represent a broken relationship where he or she regrets what they said to their partner and it hurt them, to the point where the relationship had to end, and he or she is distraught.
2) Three repetitions I noticed in the song were:
“What am I now? What am I now?”
“What if I’m someone you don’t want around”
“I’m falling again, I’m falling again, I’m falling”
It seems that the chorus in the song always repeats these three same phrases, to show how he or she is deeply affected by the breakup.
3) In the song, I have not noticed any changes except the voice of the man who sang the cover.
