One More Time
„ Why do we listen to favorite songs over and over again?"
Psychologists claim that it's because music, whenever repeated works wonders in the brain. Actually, repeating is the crucial to this participatory component of music. There is also one more aspect to it-- the sound or part of lyrics which did not really seemed instantly as relevant, come to sound totally shaped as well as purposeful after repetition.
Our brains reveal even more activity in their emotional regions when the music we are enjoying is familiar, despite whether or not we actually like it. How many times it has happened when we honestly didn't liked the music we have heard for the very first time? On replay though, all of a sudden our brain pick a few component

Then couple of days later on The Rolling Stones carried out at Hyde Park free concert, as a tribute to late Brian and introducing Mick Taylor as a lead guitarist. While the event is considered an unforgettable one by numerous critics, they also agree that it was not one of the Stones' finest performances, I was actually mesmerize by the final song „ Sympathy for the Devil"! During the 18-minute-long rendering of "Sympathy for the Devil", a range of African tribal drummers participated in the band, the tempo was really plainly incredible and Mick's performance brilliant.

And yet, thanks to this song I started to let rap music into my world, inside my room and above all into my ears. I am not sure was it for Stevie Wonder's sample, or the starting point of the lyrics (" As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death"), or was it Coolio fantastic performance-- in any case this also stays as one of my best-loved songs. Most definitely the best Hip-Hop song ever created. Unlike on a great deal of music today, a classic and deep song to play once in a while-- repeatedly!
Pink Floyd-- Wish You Were Here
Despite the fact that many, including myself, think the best Pink Floyd's recording is The Dark Side of the Moon, this title track coming from following album is my absolute favorite song of Pink Floyd. This is Pink Floyd at their greatest and it is stilled power is palpable. The music represents itself and the lyrics even more, universal as well as timeless. I do not know any rock song that you instantly feel the urge to sing along? Genuinely, keeping that in mind, it's not a surprise just how many times I have listened to this beautiful song over and over again!

How would you feel if you had family problems? In 1987, Sandra Cisneros released a novel called My Wicked, Wicked Ways. In the book, she has a poem also named “My Wicked, Wicked Ways.” The poem about the narrator looking at an old picture. The narrator then has flashbacks about his family. The narrator mentions what the father did, and how the mother reacted to the father’s actions. During the flashback, it is revealed that the father is cheating on his wife. The mother, gets mad at the father, but the father doesn’t stop. The mother ends up getting used to the father’s infidelity, and just lets it happen for the next few years. At the end of the flashback, the narrator speaks in a disappointed, but smug, tone about how he was the baby being held by the mother in the picture.

Perceptions of the natural world have fluctuated throughout humanity’s short time on this earth, going in and out of style as societies and technologies have grown and died. As is the the very nature of literature itself, literature and its authors have managed to capture these shifting views, expressed and illustrated by the art of written word. Naturally, the literature chosen for us to read based on this fluid theme of nature encompasses an array of perspectives. One of these views is that nature is sublime and above all else, a reflection of all that which is perfection. Another is that nature is cold, uncaring, and indifferent to the vanities of humanity.

“The innocent and the beautiful have no enemy but time.” This is an excerpt from “In Memory of Eva Gore-Booth and Con Markiewicz”, a poem by Irish poet William Butler Yeat’s. Eva and Con were two sisters whose beauty had entranced a young Yeats. They are remembered in the poem as “Two girls in silk kimonos, both/beautiful.” As both girls become active in politics and the women’s suffrage movement they become exposed to the corrupted reality of life. The problems the two sisters endure eventually strip away their physical and spiritual beauty. Yeat’s poem indicates that time brings new and bad experiences. Experiences that strip beauty and innocence away from people. This is a recurring theme in the classic novel, The Catcher in the Rye, by

A wise man once said your future isn’t somewhere you’re going it’s a place that you’re creating. Well I think it’s safe to say that my people (African Americans) have created a stable present from harsh realities of slavery, oppression, and racial tension that we have seen in the past also in the present. In this paper I will touch on what the Black Experience is to me and how it correlates with Devil in a Blue Dress, in addition to where we have come from and where I see us going into the future.
Music connects to the emotions present
Compare and contrast the relationship of the detective to his or her community in Devil in a Blue Dress and Corollary In Walter Mosley’s “devil in a blue dress”, there is a clear cut distinction between the white and black man, this distinction is portrayed as something that is somewhat negative and looks at the situation from the eyes of a black man named Ezekiel “Easy” Rawlins and how he is changed from a simple day to day laborer into an effective detective.
Have you ever been asked the question, “Why are you listening to that?” At that moment, you sit there and try to come up with a reason to explain your answer. However, the answer always seems to be, “Because I like it.” There’s no particular reason, maybe it’s the artist or maybe it is because you just like the beat. Perhaps it could be the way you are feeling at that particular moment.
Levetin, D. "This is your brain on music." The science of a human obsession. David Levetin, n.d. Web. April 2011. .
When we listen to music a number of things occur: we process sound through the auditory complex, an artist’s movement through the visual cortex, dancing and other rhythmical movement through the cerebellum. The Motor Cortex also enables movement such as foot tapping or hand clapping. Our Hippocampus stores our experiences through music and enables musicians to remember musical pieces. Finally, the Amygdala allows for emotional reactions to music. Because music is a combination of our different senses, we as individuals can process things differently and naturally we will like some genres more than others. Music is one of th...
Through music we are able to comprehend someone’s personality, their views, their culture, and who they are as an overall person. The music you listen to is a reflection of who you are and your own personal thoughts. As I reflect on the music I listen to I came to the conclusion that I gravitate towards songs that depict the emotions we feel through lyrics while being able to relate it to my own personal experiences.
