Q5:
I think blues reflected people' living situation in both lyrics & music.We can know stories from lyrics, and feel singers' emotion by the tone as well as melody. Blues singers' life have somthing indelightful. When lyrics (just one last dance) like "turning around~around~around~like the first time~", the melody sounds like "don't go please stay for awhile ". You can really feel girl's emotion that she's not willing to let the man go,but she knowed it's the last dance.All these songs i think are all from stories a little sad. Can't you feel a little sad from this lyrics and the melody?
Q6:
Blues can be sad also a little pity. As far as i heard, blues always told sad stories.But listening to blues makes me feel better when feel alone. That just like someone told you a sad story and after you feel sorry for the person in the story.Then you will feel better about yourslef. I enjoy the melody as well.

Sure JAMES, blues music has something that makes people get relax. Probably, it is in the lyrics or its music. However, what you say is truth. When we know about someone who get misfortune, we usually think that our problems are not really bigger than those ones.
ReplyDeleteHi James,
ReplyDeleteI really like how you connected the song you posted to the ones we listened to in class--great job! I also agree with both you and Jaime that sometimes hearing about others' problems either makes us feel better or realize the goodness of our lives. Nice post!
