It puts you on notice. It gets you out of your momentum.”

He explains it to be authentic, bossy, and simple. In a busy world, it is hard to sit down and listen to the simplicities of life. Whenever we do slow down, it seems like we expect something out of this reoccurring uncomplicated music. It is wrong of us to do this. Ratliff says that "there is nothing wrong with keeping it simple" (Ratliff 72). The simplicity of music or anything is a gift. There is no one to say that you have to be uncomfortable or explicit. I do agree with Ratliff to an extent. Sometimes, It is okay to be simple. However, It is important to experience the moments of your life to make yourself grow. You must challenge yourself, but you also must keep it in perspective. ]]> 2017-10-22 17:47:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kelley11455/2rcxdb36kpkl/wish/199374574 kelley11455 https://padlet.com/kelley11455/2rcxdb36kpkl/wish/199377083 While listening to the first 30 seconds of this song, you can hear there are two notes bouncing off of each other repeatedly. After the 30 seconds, you can hear the artists add in the slight strumming of the guitar and beat of the drum.The music seems to politely ask you to listen to the simplicity and solemness of the song. Thus, these unembellished musical compositions exemplifies Ratliff's idea of stubbornness. ]]> 2017-10-22 18:05:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kelley11455/2rcxdb36kpkl/wish/199377083 kelley11455 https://padlet.com/kelley11455/2rcxdb36kpkl/wish/199378132 “with a single note, you have authenticity. Nobody has ever played that note quite like you.”

Similar to that continuous single note Ratliff writes about, the weather demands to be heard, seen, and understood. ]]> 2017-10-22 20:36:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kelley11455/2rcxdb36kpkl/wish/199392781 kelley11455 https://padlet.com/kelley11455/2rcxdb36kpkl/wish/199393446 2017-10-22 20:43:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kelley11455/2rcxdb36kpkl/wish/199393446 kelley11455 https://padlet.com/kelley11455/2rcxdb36kpkl/wish/199393790 Ratliff writes about this song being one of the best examples of this idea of a single note. The imitation of the church bells exemplifies a form of resistance. Every time the bell goes off, it is signifying something constantly. In this song, it is signifying a woman being "mighty low" (Ratliff 70). The church bells are demanding to be felt. The church bells are demanding the listener to be "on guard." ]]> 2017-10-22 20:46:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kelley11455/2rcxdb36kpkl/wish/199393790
