Ratliff's Playlist: Spiritual by Donald Lawrence

The way Donald Lawrence creates this song, makes the song sound very up beat and joyful. The way he connects his lyrics with the choir works perfectly together to make the song complete.

This song shows the concept of linking because of how different it is from its typical genre. Drake is a hip hop artist who's music consist of rap and a nice beat. In his song Hotline Bling, Drake goes out of Hip Hops boundaries and makes a joyful "dancing" song. The tempo, the beat, and the lyrics were very different than normal but they seamlessly worked perfectly together. The song linked so well that it now has over 1.3 billion views on YouTube.

I agree with Ratliff on his thoughts on the concept of linking. I believe that songs should link well . How a song is organized and created should all work well together to make the song sound good. Using linking may also help songs become unpredictable and unique instead of the same.

"I think about music like this as linking music. Rather than settling within its prescribed parameters, it seems to move inexorably forward and outward, unfolding and enfolding, according to the logic that suits it best"

"But music doesn't have to be set at right angles. It does not have to be square or symmetrical or neatly sequential. There are other shapes and motions a musician or band or composer can make to achieve the condition of music, or what the composer Edgard Varese called "Organized Sound".".

The concept of linking is the idea of how a song is organized and created to satisfy the listener. A song should link perfectly together in the best way possible. This does not mean that all songs should sound the same, a song should be unique, and free of any boundaries that may prevent it from being great. When an artist is creating a song, he or she should try to piece together every aspect of a song in a unique and complicated matter. These different aspects should link together and be exclusive to one another in that song. This will allow for songs to not be as predictable as they usually are.

"We love to have music help us with repetitive motion, because there is so much repetitiveness motion necessary for living...Repetitiveness brings us to the end of the work, one motion at a time"
