70s music
The 1970s were all about sex, drugs and rock and roll; Beat welcomes you to our Disco Inferno.
Somebody To Love
Introduction The Queen song was playing on the system, and I remember when "A Day At The Races" came out, and two of the songs on that album had the same titles as songs by Jefferson Airplane. The other was "You're My Best Friend".

Wildfire
song about losingI have always enjoyed Moses and the burning bush. If you really think about it, a burning bush symbolizing God is a far more powerful summary of a deity than anything relegated to an image of a mortal, made more understandable by a human face:

I Miss the Rains in Africa
“Africa” is a son that was recorded by the American rock band Toto. It is the final track on their 1982 album Toto IV. This was the second single released from the album in Europe and the third in the US. The song was written by band members David Paich and Jeff Porcaro, produced by the band, and mixed by engineer Greg Ladanyi. Rolling Stone magazine ranks it at number 452 on the list The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. I chose it because of the line in the lyrics - I miss the rains in Africa.

Home Again
Can someone say, Taylor Swift or maybe Kelly Clarkson even Sara Bareilles? That is the feel these lyrics gave me. The truest love and pain of youth and innocence. Heartbreak on the cusp of experience, molding how and who we would love in the future.

Just A Taste
I love the playful energy that floats throughout the song I have attached (Imagine Dragon - Ragged Insomnia) ** This is the kind of beat I imagined as I wrote these lyrics. Female or male vocalist with a strong blended harmony in the chorus and bridge, and it needs a strong drum beat. The verses are breathy and follow the strum of a bass guitar with the second verse building to the drum beat in the chorus.

Music as an Emotional Outlet: How Youth Express Themselves Through Sound
This blog is devoted to an examination of the relationship between music and the emotions of teenagers. Our focus is on what young people have to say about the different types of experiences they derive from involving themselves in music through high levels of listening and through active participation in playing or singing. One teenager wrote about three individual music pieces that she or he had listened to and liked for at least six minutes: 'Whenever I listen to these pieces, it relaxes me and lets me escape all the pressure that I feel under.'

Another Plagiaristic Poetic Progressive Playlist
Introduction This is a sort of follow up to my first try at this that you can read and listen to here: I thought I would create a plagiaristic poem based on bands, albums and songs and follow it with a playlist of the songs chosen in the poem.
