Someone wants to go see a baseball game describing what happens in a usual one.
This song doesn't really share commonalities with it's time as it primarily talks about baseball while generally nothing happened it's era.]]> 2018-01-10 17:23:13 UTC https://padlet.com/nenwereji18/7cetq48l7sag/wish/220279795 nenwereji18 https://padlet.com/nenwereji18/7cetq48l7sag/wish/220280018 Auld Lang Syne (Frank Stanley) 1910
A song credited to there being a new year.
This song reflects it's time well from a certain point of view. As it claims that there will be a new year with new changes, that is indeed true as important events such as woman's suffrage and Prohibition take place.]]> 2018-01-10 17:23:35 UTC https://padlet.com/nenwereji18/7cetq48l7sag/wish/220280018 nenwereji18 https://padlet.com/nenwereji18/7cetq48l7sag/wish/220280285 "Oh Susanna" (Arthur Fields) 1920
A boy is traveling down to Alabama.
This reflects it's time well as this takes place in the beginning of the Great Migration. Although the sing is not African American, the fact that he's moving is a coincidence. ]]> 2018-01-10 17:24:01 UTC https://padlet.com/nenwereji18/7cetq48l7sag/wish/220280285 nenwereji18 https://padlet.com/nenwereji18/7cetq48l7sag/wish/220280358 "God Bless America" (Kate Smith) 1938
A description about how great America is.
Specifically for this song, it reflects it's decade well, as this was the second time America was in a world war. The people of our nation had great pride in ourselves.]]> 2018-01-10 17:24:10 UTC https://padlet.com/nenwereji18/7cetq48l7sag/wish/220280358 nenwereji18 https://padlet.com/nenwereji18/7cetq48l7sag/wish/220283298 "White Christmas" (Bring Crosby) 1942
The singer wishes for it to snow immensely on Christmas day so there will resemble a white surrounding.
This song does not resemble it's at all. It's aa if they were opposites. The songs cheers about Christmas, a holiday about family, friends, togetherness and love, while in the time, the U.S. was their second world war.]]> 2018-01-10 17:29:03 UTC https://padlet.com/nenwereji18/7cetq48l7sag/wish/220283298 nenwereji18 https://padlet.com/nenwereji18/7cetq48l7sag/wish/220283384 "I got a woman" (Ray Charles) 1958
A love song a about a woman.
Although it doesn't have a direct correlation, the song mimics making love or having love with a woman at a time were baby boomers were created, where soldiers would come home to their wives for sex after WWII.]]> 2018-01-10 17:29:13 UTC https://padlet.com/nenwereji18/7cetq48l7sag/wish/220283384 nenwereji18 https://padlet.com/nenwereji18/7cetq48l7sag/wish/220283492 "Ain't no mountain high enough" (Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson)1967
This song sends the message that there is no great enough challenge that you can't conquer.
This represents it's time well as African Americans were fighting for their rights and would overcome any challenge.]]> 2018-01-10 17:29:20 UTC https://padlet.com/nenwereji18/7cetq48l7sag/wish/220283492 nenwereji18 https://padlet.com/nenwereji18/7cetq48l7sag/wish/220283580 "Sir Duke" (Stevie Wonder) 1976
Stevie Wonder is commemorating all the musical artist of the Harlem Renaissance.
This resembles it's time greatly because African American music is at a rise and greatly excepted.]]> 2018-01-10 17:29:29 UTC https://padlet.com/nenwereji18/7cetq48l7sag/wish/220283580 nenwereji18 https://padlet.com/nenwereji18/7cetq48l7sag/wish/220283699 "Billie Jean" (Micheal Jackson) 1982
The main character claims hat the child his once lover has is not biologically his.
The song represents one of the artist's biggest hits and reflects a time of evolving music and pop culture in general.]]> 2018-01-10 17:29:41 UTC https://padlet.com/nenwereji18/7cetq48l7sag/wish/220283699 nenwereji18 https://padlet.com/nenwereji18/7cetq48l7sag/wish/220283800 "I'll make a man out of you" (Donny Osmond) 1998
When efforts of work aren't good enough, everyone must overcome their individual challenges in order to become who they strive to be.
This song does not reflect the time well. Although it does outline the large challenge of the rise of police brutality, it has not been conquered.]]> 2018-01-10 17:29:52 UTC https://padlet.com/nenwereji18/7cetq48l7sag/wish/220283800 nenwereji18 https://padlet.com/nenwereji18/7cetq48l7sag/wish/220283841 "Georgia on my Mind" (Ray Charles) 2003
Ray Charles shows Tribute to the state Georgia.
This song reflects the amount of change Georgia has gone through throughout the years as racism isn't accepted their anymore. They've given the artist an apology after banding him for a just action.]]> 2018-01-10 17:29:57 UTC https://padlet.com/nenwereji18/7cetq48l7sag/wish/220283841 nenwereji18 https://padlet.com/nenwereji18/7cetq48l7sag/wish/220283891 "Let it Go" (Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez) 2013
A character, Elsa, from the film "Frozen" is gaining her independence from the world, no longer being chained by those around her.
Other than this being a good melody, it expresses being yourself and also shares the common thread of LGBTQ ideal's as it is almost excepted in the 2010's.]]> 2018-01-10 17:30:03 UTC https://padlet.com/nenwereji18/7cetq48l7sag/wish/220283891 nenwereji18 https://padlet.com/nenwereji18/7cetq48l7sag/wish/221319461 As the times changes changes, so do the genres of music and the story it tells. There's no story at first, but then it transitions to larger problems with people and wars commence, As time goes on, the tension dies down and matters shift to excepting times while still facing moral dilemmas. It is worth to note that most genres listed make a difference because of the artist and what they're trying to say through their song. Yes the same story could be told in a different genre, all stories can, but the way it was told here was unique and it would be difficult to recreate. Artists go through personal experiences that they can only express through song, making what ever they produce special and how the time influences them makes it even more special. The same could be said about style. And I believe that the central theme behind all these songs is change and acceptance.]]> 2018-01-15 01:17:31 UTC https://padlet.com/nenwereji18/7cetq48l7sag/wish/221319461
