The songs that I chose for this assignment are ‘Don’t stop me now’ by Queen and ‘House of Gold’ by Twenty-One Pilots. The idea of a ‘good’ song or ‘good’ music is difficult to grasp because it all depends on the listener. For me, ‘Don’t stop me now’ is a good song because it begins with a softkeyboardinstrument, in this case a piano. The piano over the course of the song grows in dynamics to a fortissimo.What makes it a good song is that it blends well together and does not sound forced. The singer of this song constantly changes his pitchfrom high to low. This makes the song feel more emotional, which is something I enjoy. The range of his voice is fascinating. He has a very low rumbly voice in the beginning and by the end, he is hitting high notes with ease. Not only does the pitchof the song change, but so does the tempo.The tempoincreases in the middle of the song and decreases again in the very last twenty seconds.
The other song, ‘House of Gold’, is a ‘good’ song to me because it is a very vocalsong where the singer sings in the majority of the song. The tempo of this song is quick. The notes of the acousticinstrument, the ukulele is played rapidly and yet sounds smooth. The beat of this song is steady and rarely changes, which makes it a ‘good’ song to listen to.
