This song was found outside of Ratliff's playlist, I have listened to it dozens of times and after reading about the concept of the single note, I listened to it again to see if I could find such single note. Russ drags out the "O" in "psycho" every time he sings it. I think it plays very well with the meaning of the song and how a girl is driving him psycho. You can hear it in his voice.

The concept of a single note in music is defined as a single note sung by an artist that stands out as a single sound, unlike two notes. As Ratliff states, it makes the note "authentic." It keeps it very simple yet unique, because no two people can make one single note the exact same way. I think that most artists do a single note to make a point. In other ways, the single note can create a risk. Because the listener may struggle with it. In this padlet I will be including several music examples that contain a unique single note and why it speaks to me.

"With two notes you have structure, and you are already graduating into the possibility that someone else has played that structure before. But with a single note you have authenticity, because nobody else has played the single note exactly the same way."

"If a musician can make one note, one sound, that he feels happy with, it's a good practice session."

This song was included in Ratliff's playlist and he talks about this song in detail a lot. Some important things mentioned about this song is that it could describe the world around him changing rapidly, while he stays the same, a single note, over and over. Ratliff calls it monotone. He also says that the series of the same note over and over acknowledges melody and rhythm and harmony.

Although this song was included in Ratliff's playlist of important single note songs, I have heard it quite a few times before and have never noticed the single note in it. Ratliff talks about the middle of the song when Drake sings, "You know I stay reminiscin' and makeup sex is tradition but you been missing girl and you..." In one breath, all around B.

Ratliff gives examples of single notes that are heard alone by everyday objects. One of those include a church bell. When you haven't heard one, it rings by surprise and you are startled at first. Something has officially begun or ended. Then you hear the second one and you become accustomed to it. Then the third ring comes along and you are aware of the pattern the sound comes at and what it signifies.
