 The song I picked for this week was Maple Leaf Rag by Scott Joplin. I think this song has such a good feel to it, it puts you in a good mood and makes you want to go back to that era and dance. This song has a couple parts in it when it seems like they mess up while playing the piano, but it is a part of the song and I think it makes the song so much more interesting because you don't see it coming and don't expect a song to sound like that. My favorite part of this song is the part when it seems like they’re messing up but it’s a part of the song I think it is just so unlike anything else and no one expects it which makes it so fun and lively. I think they need to have more songs now that surprise you, have something happen out of the blue that you weren’t expecting, I feel like now we can expect how a song is going to go both with the music and with the lyrics. Imagine if we had songs now that threw you off in a good way, everyone would love them and they would rise to the tops of the charts.

  1. I would definitely agree that this song is very happy sounding. I am more drawn to songs that are upbeat, fast, and happy. The song does have places where the notes seem harsher compared to the rest which does kind of sound like the person playing messed up. I have never really thought about how predictable songs have become, and I agree with you that maybe artists should pursue music that surprises more.
