Hey, this week I picked “Good Vibrations” by the beach boys! I grew up listening to the Beach Boys along with other people like Simon and Garfunkel or Billy Joel. My dad loved both of them so I listened to them when we would be driving places while I was growing up. So, I am super familiar with all of them especially the Beach Boys! This totally brings me back to my childhood when I listen to it, and it just makes me happy thinking about all those time driving in the car with my dad to random places. I think this song has kind of a different feel to it. One moment its loud happy and in a major key, but the next its quiet and in a minor key. I think it is interesting because of this, it is not like many other songs with the feel. The start of this song could make you feel like it’s a sad song and then all the sudden “I’m picking up good vibrations” and sure enough the song does pick up good vibrations. I think that’s one of the coolest parts of this song is that they totally go with the words and the beat.

                    

This week I decided to do my blog on “Sh-Boom” by the Chords. I think this song is so fun, it’s just so upbeat and exciting. This song puts you in such a good mood and makes me want to watch cars of course! It makes me want to go drive down a really well-lit street with people I care about and just have fun laughing and talking listening to this song as we drive down main street. I think the lyrics of this song are so sweet, he is saying life could be a dream with you, if I could do things with you and spend my life with you. I think he really likes this girl and wants to be her boyfriend and what better than to be writing this on Valentine’s Day. I don’t feel like this song is really fitting for a Valentine’s Day drive however it is still a really sweet song about a cute couple. This song is the feel of a happy sunny day turned into a pretty night with the hopes of a fun adventure. My favorite thing about this song is that there is so much character to it, there’s never a dull moment just like how the adventure should be.

                 

Hey!! This week I picked “Taking a chance on love” by Benny Goodman! I really like this song!! I think this song has such a good upbeat feel to it making it easy to sing along and want to dance. I have been listening to this song on repeat because I like jazz and especially this song. I love the words trying to get people to see maybe it’s not such a bad thing to love someone and try a relationship. I think the words are so good because there are so many people who are afraid of relationships and think that they’re not worth it. My favorite part is how it just puts you in such a smiley and happy mood. But my favorite line is “We’ll have our happy ending now, taking a chance on love” because you never know if it will work if you don’t give it a shot. Another line in the song goes “I’m gonna give my all again, taking a chance on love” the way Benny Goodman describes the story of a woman or a man afraid of a relationship finally being able to love again and be okay with a relationship I this is amazing.
