What’s up!! This week I decided to do my blog on What’s Love Got To Do With It by Tina Turner. I decided to do this song because I think she is such an interesting female vocalist. I also think this song in general is very interesting, because at first, she talks about his touch and makes it seem like this is a sweet love song, but then she goes on to explain there’s no love, it is just physical, and she uses the word “logical”. I think any relationship is illogical, they always happen at the most inconvenient times, or something makes it difficult for you two to be together. So, I think it is funny that she talks about it being logical and not being in love because then I really don’t see a point in having the relationship. She also uses the line “who needs a heart when a heart can be broken.” I think the reason she is saying what does love have to do with it is because she is afraid of getting hurt, she doesn’t want her heart broken like it probably was in the past. I think this song is really good and is kind of fun for what the message is, I guess.

                         

Hey!! I decided to do my blog on I shot the Sheriff, but I did the version by Bob Marley, I did listen to both versions, however. I liked both versions I think they are both good, I really like Bob Marley’s voice though I think it is kind of soothing which is why I picked his version rather than Eric Clapton’s. Eric Clapton’s version or cover of this song, however, I feel is more upbeat and more modern to king of what we listen to now. This song along with all of Bob Marley’s song I feel like just have a good bouncy beat that make it easy to nod your head along with. As for the meaning of this song, for my interpretation I feel like he could be saying, “yeah I did this one thing, but I didn’t do the one you are accusing me of.” From the line “I shot the sheriff, but I didn’t shoot the deputy” according to the Wailers it is people are judging you and you can’t stand it anymore. So, I feel like I was not too far off from what they were hoping to get across. Overall, I think it’s a pretty good song, both versions.

                                         

Hey y’all!! This week I decided to do my blog on “Superstition” by Stevie wonder. We all know this song it is such a classic! This song just has the most fun best kind of vibe that makes you want to bob your head. I also think of walking while listening to this song and just walking on beat and jamming out. This song just makes you want to grab your buddies and walk down like the strip in Vegas to this song, lots of lights, and just feeling like you are way cooler than everyone else there. The meaning behind this song is that when you believe in stupid bad superstitions such as the number 13 or a black cat “then you suffer” because we do not understand what it is that you are believing, “Superstition ain’t the way’. In the chorus he is talking about how a good superstition that helps you live a good life and a life you want then go ahead and believe those superstitions but be careful of the superstitions you believe. Because some of those superstitions can cause harm to you or others and they could keep you from living your best life then you should rethink your choices.

Hey!! So, this week I did my blog on “respect” by Aretha franklin. I picked this song because we all know it and its super upbeat and fun! I also picked this song because I really like the feel of this song, it is just upbeat and exciting. There isn’t a part in this song that you aren’t wanting to tap your foot or sing along. She does a really good job of keeping you engaged in the song and wanting it to keep going. The music in this song apart from the lyrics is so exciting and just fits so well, the music and the lyrics complement each other so nicely. I think the saxophone is such a nice addition to this song and the little saxophone solo in between the lyrics is different but really suits the song. This song also makes me laugh, because when you first listen to this song you don’t pay a whole ton of attention to the words besides respect, so you think she is just talking about respects until you listen to the song a couple times then you realize what she is really talking about. Overall, I think this song is really good and brings some light to people’s lives.
