Week 7 listening project

I think at this point in the listening project, I am becoming resentful of trying to dissect the same song week after week. I still like the song, but there is only so much to hear.

I have trouble applying the lessons from class to a song because I don't agree with many of the writers' notions of music. The classroom challenge each week seems to be choosing a position on what music is or isn't. Each week, I think music is both.

Some songs are pretty. Some songs help me with my own internal stuggles. Some songs move me to learn more about the singer or songwriter. Some songs move me to dance, sing, or cry. So this week, my song is both.
