Harmony: The sound of the music notes are sad and slow. I can tell there are more than two musical instruments in the song so I can hear harmony in the song. I am not to sure but I think this song has a polyphonic texture.

Timbre: I hear an assortment of instruments playing in this song. It starts off a bit slow with a guitar and light tapping of drums. When the song hits the chorus I hear the bass come in and a violin plays off when she takes a pause on the song. I had to play the song over again a few times to study the instruments played in this song I chose but I did figure them out because each sound is significant.

Beat: The beat to this song is pretty mellow as it is a slow ballad. As I listened to this song in my room all alone in the dark I found myself slowly moving my head to the music with tears flowing. This song touches my heart everytime I hear it I think because of the pain of all the losses in my family. I also noticed that this song doesnt hold the same beat throughout the song she goes higher in sound as the song plays on. When I listen to this song it helps me heal as it is not an easy thing losing family member so close to me.

Tempo: The tempo (speed) of the song is pretty much a slow ballad. When I listen to this song im relaxing in my room or looking at pictures of people I want to remember that have passed on. This song will always hold a special place in my eart because it has helped me heal through life struggles.

Metre: I think the the periodic accenting of specific beats in this song is all slow with just a bit of speed when she hits the main chorus "Its okay to cry". I noticed the song hits a high and low on certain parts but not drastic enough to change it from a slow song to a fast song.

Rhythm: This songs starts with a slow rhythm and continues that way. Even as it gets to the chorus it has this same rhythm throughout the song.

Module 2 Activity, Padlet part 1

I had many struggles over the fours of my journey into
education and I still sit here and wonder how I survived it all. When I listen
to this song I know this is how I survived. I am all about country music as I stated
in my introduction. And this song fits perfect as to what was my stress
reliever when I felt I couldn’t grasp that rope any longer. The first year into
this program I was scared, excited, and mixed with emotions but I took on the
challenge with full force. In October 2009 (two months into the program) I was
notified that my 24 year old nephew Jon had passed away. My heart was aching
with pain. I came back to school and struggled greatly barely making the grades
first term. I continued on and still gave what I could and seven months after
the loss of my nephew my baby sister Candace (33 years old) passed away May
2010. Tears fell unconditionally; my little sister whom I loved with all my
heart left behind seven beautiful children and left a void in my heart. The
pain never goes away when you lose someone so dear to your heart, memories
never go away that’s what kept me going. When I felt I was starting to see the
light at the end of the tunnel (almost done my four years) another tragedy hit
my family. My 19 year old nephew passed away May 6 of this year. This was
another difficult ordeal for me as he was a part of my everyday life (the rest
of my family lives in Wabasca). My sister’s life was shattered, my heart was shattered.
After the loss of my nephew Justin I cried a lot. I cried because I was so hurt
with everything I had to go through, I cried because life was not fair. I
questioned higher power as I cried, but one thing I learned was I felt better
every time I cried and I knew it was my healing. So I listen to this song because
I know I can overcome any obstacles in my life that come my way and I know if I
cry, hey it’s okay and everything will be okay.
