MUMFORD AND SONS - WINTER WINDS

                                       WINTER WINDS


Title: Winter Winds

Album: Sigh No More

Label: London-based

Music style: 
Folk Rock. Es un género musical que combina elementos de la música folk, el blues y el rock. Sin embargo el término se suele usar preferentemente, aunque no exclusivamente, en referencia a la música de fusión surgida en los Estados Unidos y Reino Unido, a mediados de los años sesenta.  En muchos aspectos, el folk-rock se solapa con otras denominaciones aplicadas a fusiones de música tradicional estadounidense y rock, como es el caso del country rock o del llamado rock sureño.

What this song is about:
In the cold London winter, the relationship of two people comes up and down. They love each other but they have their doubts and difficulties. They fight for their love as live is short and we want to good memories to stay. Bad time will pass when good weather arrives.

Why I have chosen this song?
I have chosen this song because my mother likes the group very much and she often listens to their music at home. In fact, this summer she recorded a CD which included a couple of Mumford and Sons´ themes. We have travelled all the summer with this CD in the car and all the family  have eventually learned the song and come to like it. I hope you like it too.



What does this song makes me feel?
I have been listening to it since I was a child so when I listen to it , reminds me
all the moments with my mother and with all the family, because we are used to sing it all together in the car. This song makes me feel happy when I am bad. I think that it is a great song that people would enjoy a lot listening to it.

What is this song about?
The song was written about the pain and loss Clapton felt following the death of this four-year-old son, Conor. He fell from a window of a 53rd-floor New York City apartament building owned by his mother's friend on March 20, 1991. He landed on the roof of a building when a few minutes later Clapton arrived at that apartament.

I have chosen this song because...
It is my father favourite one. After having understand it in detail now I can imagine why my father likes this song so much. Plis it is a song well known by both the lyrics and the singers. My father comprehends the pain and fear Eric with this song is trying to transmit as he happened for any loss some years ago

What this song makes me feel is...
Once yoy have catched the meaning of the song you realize how hard must be to loose someone you deeply love. I think that for Eric Clapton must be one of the most importan song for him because was the first he wrote after the death of his son, and from my point of view he tries to share with us his feelings.

Bon Jovi, ALWAYS

Tittle: ALWAYS



Album:   Cross Road

Year: 1994


Music style: 

Bon Jovi's musical style has generally been characterized as 'hard rock', 'pop/hair metal', 'arena rock' and 'pop rock', although they have also experimented and varied from these genres at times. The band's first four albums blended the pop metal and hard rock genres, although they had mostly shed the pop metal sound by using a more mature hard rock sound. Bon Jovi returned to a more typical rock sound on The Circle.



What is this song about ?

Basically the guy cheats on his girl with her sister, she storms off devastated, walks the streets before getting found by this artist guy outside his apartment, they go inside, he paints her nude, girl contacts boyfriend to tell him she loves him and wants him back , he comes round to collect her, sees the painting and assumes she slept with this guy because in the picture she is nude, , he trashes the place ,but the girl didn’t understand because he was the principal cheater but she leaves, he sets fire to apartment in a fit of revenge.


Why I have chosen this song ?

I have chosen this song because apart from that is one of my mom’s favorite song I think is one of my favorites too because I love its lyrics and what it means for me. It always makes me feel better when I listen to it because of the love, happiness, and all those good feelings the lyrics has. I think everyone should listen to it and feel it, and try to understand it, because it is very nice.

What does this song makes me feel?



This song makes me feel love and that feeling of sadness when the girl discovered that the guy she met wasn’t what she really thought he was. On the other hand this song has a very special meaning for me, that is, for me Bon Jovi is trying to let people know that everything that we see doesn’t have to be what we immediately imagine, I mean, first we should listen to what had happened before.

      ALWAYS, Bon Jovi

Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You

  

 I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU 




TITLE: I will always love you
ALBUM: The bodyguard (Soundtrack)
YEAR: 1991
LABEL: Arista
MUSIC STYLE: 
Rhythm and blues, also know as R&B, was originated in the 1940s in USA, due to the migration of African Americans. Has it's origins on Jazz, blues and gospel. The main instruments used are drums, bass, saxophone, piano and organ.  The themes encapsulated are the experience of African-American pain and the quest for joy and freedom.

WHAT IS THIS SONG ABOUT?:
This song speaks about the breakup of a relationship between a man and a woman that does not descend into unremitting domestic turmoil, but instead envisions parting with respect. I will always love you was first written and performed by Dolly Parton who wrote the track in 1973 for her one-time partner and mentor Porter Wagoner, from whom she was separating professionally at the time.

I HAVE CHOSEN THIS SONG BECAUSE...
It's one of my mother's favourite artists. She told me that when she saw Whitney Houston performing the 15th of November of 1993 at Palacio de los deportes in Madrid, her powerful and strong voice was enough to give a magical gig. There was just her in the middle of the stage and a little orchestra at the background, she didn't needed any pyrotechnics or live visuals to stand out her performance. This song emphasizes this facts very well.

  WHAT THIS SONG MAKES ME FEEL IS...
This song makes me feel happy and very weak at the same time, thanks to the majesty voice she has and the vocal range. She reaches high and melodic tones that makes you feel relaxed. The saxophone, that sounds at the background at different times of the song, transfers you to a pure bliss mood. If you pay attention to the lyrics, you can appreciate the beautiful meaning it has, even though it's not very long.
