I really like this song, it's cool to see the synthesizer really becoming a part of music here in the 80s. Just the different sounds and rhythm from the synthesizer really just are the sound of the 80s. It's cool to also see the evolution of technology through out the 80s. Going more to Walkman's and CDs and seeing the accessibility become so big and really leads us to headphones and the technology that we have today. With the song, you can see how different it can be now that this technology is out you can really put a new spin on pop music. You see these synthesized songs become the popular music and start to trend. I love the catchy beat and rhythm of this song! Also I swear it's in so many movies too so that just takes me back too. It really is super catchy and just unique, like something that hasn't really been done before. I think with the synthesizer it's also really cool to see that people can have studios and recording booths in their own houses. The te...

What a song... This is super cool to hear and see the beginning of rap! How influential this song is, it has started and I feel like was such a foundation to rap. The lyrics are just everywhere and they are just spitting about so many different things. It is interesting how many similarities I can see in this rap song to rap songs today. I love the when he goes "A hip hop the hippa, the hippity to the hip-hip hop" I love just the different noises and rhythms that you can trow in rap. I like how you can just rap about anything and it can just either influence others, tell a story, or anything you want. Rap is so interesting with the solid background and beat yet it is so catchy sometimes and almost changes with the lyrics. One rapper I like is Macklemore, He just tells funny stories that is so random, funny, and just make you wanna scream and rap along. I get the same vibes to this song too, overall just a funny and interesting song. It's not one of my favorite rap songs e...

Man this song brings back so many memories! Elton John is such an interesting artist to me. Its crazy to see him still making music and influencing other today! he recently came out with an album with a ton of different pop artists and it actually wasn't bad! There are a couple of his songs that aren't my favorite, but Crocodile Rock is definitely one of my favorites. When I was little my grandma had an electric piano that would play different songs on it. Crocodile Rock was one of them and we would run and dance around! It is such an uplifting and upbeat song! Definitely the song takes me back to this period, even though I wasn't born then it's cool that the song just bring those vibes! It's so good, and I love just the steady beat of the drums and the strum of the guitar. The little "la la la la la", is super interesting and have that electronic sound to it too! I don't know why it is called crocodile rock, but it really is just a vibe. Overall super...

I knew pretty quick what song I wanted to do my blog on as soon as I heard A Change is Gonna Come in class. The beat and rhythm of this song is super relaxing and so upbeat too! I love the sway that it has too! This song really touched me early on, the message it carries just in those first words. "I was born by the river in a little tent... Oh, and just like the river I've been a-runnin' ever since." Just the power and sincerity in his voice just pierces me to the soul. The words take me back and make me think about the hate and persecution that the African-American's experienced at that time. Just feels my heart with so much sorrow, but looking back and seeing how it is today I love the hope that this song gives as well. They didn't know for sure that it would change, but I feel like Sam Cooke inspired others with his music and especially this song! I know that he really changed and brought light into the world especially for the African-Americans at that ti...
