True Love
This piece focused on the idealism that was created for many because of their interpretation of Doo Wop songs. But just as well as any many other things in life, you must not use one aspect of something to base your whole outlook of that one thing. The part of this writing that caught my attention the most was the part where you talk about love and obsession having the same feeling. I think that many people confuse the two or might even think that they overlap somewhat. Personally I feel that these thoughts are molded through experiences and personal values. Once a person experiences obsession firsthand, then they can learn from the experience and be able to differ one from another there on after. I think there is true love, but there is only minimal exposure of it, through Doo Wop songs.
Raindrops
This writing was based on a song Dee Clark where he keeps referring to a metaphor which says that there is a cloud over his head, and the water on his face is raindrops. Basically what’s being shown through this piece are the feelings of a man who is grieving because he is hurt, so he is trying to express in words how he feels because every man knows it’s not manly to cry. This is a conception that almost all men live with, which in turn becomes anger in them. Since they are not allowed to grieve normally they withhold so much emotion inside and this causes an explosion when all the emotions are finally released.
A Casual Look
This piece discusses Trudy Wells and how her voice and words in the song a “Casual Look” helped you relate so well to the many encounters you had with puppy love, and how they all simply started with a glance. Even though puppy loves usually ends with what we think is the most devastating heartbreak at that time, I think that those experiences are essential for everyone to endure and be able to look back on those moments and think “oh I was really that young and naive once?” Puppy love is all a part of growing and learning, so when the real thing comes along you’ll be able to take a casual look and now you’ve found it.
Jamesetta on my Mind
This piece really hit home with me. Relating music with life has always helped me get through the good and bad. Music can make a person feel like someone understands the exact situation they are in at that moment. If the singer is really good, they can even make you feel as like they are talking straight to you giving you the advice you so badly need. Sometimes we can find comfort in songs and other times songs can give us the boost we need in order to finally move forward with something we having been idling. I love music, and I love the messages that artists can convey through the use of sounds and melodies. Songs often times give a voice to mute emotions.
The Blues Had A Baby
This piece primarily talks about how the music genre of the blues created what we today consider to be rock n’ roll music. Many genres of music have also been branches of another genre that came before it. Regardless whether it’s through blues and rock n’ roll music, the same emotions and feelings are being felt by all the artists making these songs. Music is a filter which some people use to get their emotions out and other people listen to the music in order to relate to it and help express themselves better as well.
