  "Shake it Off" Taylor Swift For the last blog I chose to write about "Shake it Off" by Taylor Swift. I used to really like this song, but now I can not listen to the song anymore. This is one of Taylor's most popular songs, and it has defenitly been overplayed. She released this song in 2014 with the album 1989. She had a lot of hit singles on that album, she even won the Grammy Awards for album of the year with 1989. On this album Taylor has more pop type of songs, she have kinda lost her good girl image. And she does not really sing country songs anymore. One of the things I remember best about "Shake it Off" is the music video. There is a lot of things going on in the video, lots of colors, outfits and dancing. She have said in interviews that "Shake it Off" is about being okay with not being cool, or feeling like you do not fit in. It is also about all the critics Taylor have gotten from the media after being to open about her love life...

  "Tim McGraw" Taylor Swift For this week i choose to write about "Tim McGraw" by Taylor Swift. I really like Taylor Swifts music, especially her older stuff. Even tho I am not a huge fan of country music, I still really like her soft kind of country songs. Taylor Swift started her music career when she was ver young, this song was released in 2006 when Taylor was only 16 years old. Later on in her career she have experimented with different types of music, and found her own style. She still does a lot of country music, but a lot more pop music. But at this time she was still very young, and had a very innocent image. The song is about a summer romance, and how a country song by Tim McGraw brings back memories from her summer romance. The song is very slow and soft, she plays most of the song on her guitar and it is easy to hear her voice. The song did really well, and Taylor won both BMI country Awards for award winning song, and CMT Music Awards Breakthrough of th...

  "Jump" Van Halen For the listening blog this week i chose to write about "Jump" by Van Halen. This is a song I have heard many times before. I think most people in our class have heard this song many songs before too. It is a super popular song, that they still play a lot today. Especially at sporting events and other bigger events, the song have also been used a lot in movies, tv-shows and other places. Van Halen have released a lot of famous songs, but jump is probably their best known song.  The song was released in 1984, and have won a lot of prices. van Halen is also very well known for their looks. They are a typical 80s rock band with crazy outfits, big hair, eyeliner, and lots of fire and smoke while they are preforming. They did actually win MTVs Video Music Award for best stage performance.  The song is very fun, it has a quick tempo and it is very easy to remember. The lyrics are easy to recognize and sing along with. I think that is part of the reason ...

  "The Message"  Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five I was really excited when I saw that "The message" was one of the song choices for this weeks blog post. I really like this song, and I have listened to it a lot before. The song is really cool and fun. the song was recorded in New York in 1982, and it is considered as one of the first hiphop songs. In the lyrics they describe life in the city poverty, and how children born in the ghetto easily get into crime, because that is the only option they have. The song became extremely popular, and have been sampled and used by several other hiphop artists  later. They have also used the song in movies, tv shows, video games and etc. The song was ranked by NME as track of the year in 1982, rolling stones ranked "The Message" as nr 51 in their list of the 500 greatest songs of all time. And it has also been voted as the nr 3 rap song. I think it is really cool that the song is almost 40 years old, but still is...
