Information

Song title: Raabta

Artist: Kehte Hain Khuda

Year written: The date the song was released was February 10, 2012.

Country of origin: India.


Thoughts and emotions: My thoughts about the song were it was a very tender, beautiful ballad with a slight beat to it that you can dance to fast. The emotions that I felt while I listened to this song were peace, joy, romance, and love.


Elements: 


The piano sounded smooth, soft, peaceful, and mellow at the beginning of the song, the drums gave the song a great tempo, the guitar was perfect for the melody, and the strings gave it a nice blend. Each of these instruments combined together make it an enjoyable piece to both listen and dance to. Each instrument overall featured in the song made me feel inspired to never give up on love, and to take a chance when I get the opportunity.


Opinions:


Here are a couple of comments that help support my opinions  about the song:

The song is basically about a couple in a long distance relationship, and are therefore caught up in a very passionate romance. What is mostly loved and appreciated about this song is the lyrics and it's melody combined together. I honestly can see why the song was such a popular hit, and why it's such a fun, popular song still today. 

What also made this piece a popular hit was the combination of the piano and the strings along with the lyrics, which indeed makes it such a lovely ballad as well a
s the drums a awesome dance mix.





Second song: Kasie Hua
Artists: Shaid Kapoor, Kaira A., and Sandeep V.

Date released: June 18, 2019

Thoughts and emotions: As I listened to this piece, it made me think of a true everlasting love that is unbreakable,  unstoppable, and yet inseparable.

Elements: 

This song starts off with acoustical guitar playing slowly, then a piano, then strings, then drums, and finally added an electric guitar. The acoustical guitar gave the piece a perfect melody as well as the the piano and the strings. The drums a great addition for it's tempo and measure.

Opinions: 

This particular piece is so incredible that it is sure to tug at your heart strings, and will inspire you to dare fall in love and not regret it if you never have before. Romance indeed is on the rise!


How this particular style of music is different from American music is it is recorded in a different language than American English, it has a different sound and rhythm, it's from a different origin, and it it is combined with a slow beat/ dance mix which makes it more popular than American hip/hop/dance music to listen and dance to.

Songs of Inspiration: Music that make me feel stronger and want to change the world The first song that I chose for my analysis is a song that when I first heard it played on the radio I had made it my own personal anthem is by artist Kelly Clarkson titled, Stronger . When ever I hear this particular song, it makes me feel emotions of inspiration, happiness, confidence, freedom, strength, and yet as a woman, invincible! I find this song to be important to me because women are being abused and mistreated by men often, and are looked down upon by society. A good example is a lot of hip/hop rap artists like to use profane words about women in their song lyrics. I personally don't agree with it and have no tolerance for it. Therefore, no other woman should either. Women in my honest opinion need to be more respected, inspired, encouraged, acknowledged, appreciated, and recognized of all races and of all origins. Stronger was written by three song writers Jorgen Elofssen, Ali Tamposi, ...

 How a Music Video is Made Ever since I was a teenager in the 1980's during the MTV era, I was quite fascinated by watching music videos by my favorite artists such as Michael Jackson, and his most popular video of all time, "Thriller" and wondered how it was pulled off, and how long it actually would take to create such a masterpiece. After doing my research on this topic, I now know how a music video can be created and how it's produced.  The purpose of a video is to be released for a promotion for an album. The video is usually released before the album.  If the video gains interest, it may become viral. Therefore, the more promotion for the video, the more the song and the band will earn  money. A video is also like a short film or movie that tells a story set to music. Therefore, the narrative  tells the story to correspond with the song. The  process  of  making a video is to write a story and a script, then create a shooting schedule with a...

My Innovations and evolutions assignment

 For this assignment I chose for an instrument the saxophone. I went to two different websites which were 1. Liveabout.com and 2. Yamahamakewaves for my research on the history of when it was created, and the origin, and how this particular instrument was used. The saxophone was first invented by Adolphe Sax on June 28, 1846, in Paris, France. Sax was a musical instrument designer born in Belgium from 1814- 1894. The saxophone was always made of brass since it's first invention, but because of it's principles of sound, is classified as a wood wind instrument such as the clarinet or flute. How is it played? The saxophone is known for being a single reed instrument that usually played in Jazz bands. It also is played in Rock and Roll, blues, pop, funk, dance, classical and symphonic music as well. What was a popular song before the saxophone was invented? Before the saxophone was invented, a song that was popular was "The wedding march; Here comes the bride." Written by...
