I do agree with Ratliff's point, mainly because I do have a set few songs that I can pick out one note from that is considered "home". ]]> 2017-10-21 22:54:08 UTC https://padlet.com/colten_gibson/9skip8zoqras/wish/199305480 colten_gibson https://padlet.com/colten_gibson/9skip8zoqras/wish/199305845 Ratliff, B.

It is a marker, a reminder: wake up, get free of your momentum, you have somewhere to be right now" (Ratliff, 2016)]]> 2017-10-21 23:05:27 UTC https://padlet.com/colten_gibson/9skip8zoqras/wish/199306009 colten_gibson https://padlet.com/colten_gibson/9skip8zoqras/wish/199306041 "When a musician revisits a note, he is being generous, anticipating a desire: in this way he gives you, the listener, time to get to know it. you orient yourself around it. You get to hear how it sounds in different areas of the beat, played with slightly different emphasis, against different chords" (Ratliff, 2016)]]> 2017-10-21 23:06:42 UTC https://padlet.com/colten_gibson/9skip8zoqras/wish/199306041 colten_gibson https://padlet.com/colten_gibson/9skip8zoqras/wish/199306436 There are a couple of single notes that stick out in this example, but the one that I found most interesting was the low, deep, guitar strum that lasted a long time; correlating with "miles and miles". ]]> 2017-10-21 23:15:51 UTC https://padlet.com/colten_gibson/9skip8zoqras/wish/199306436 colten_gibson https://padlet.com/colten_gibson/9skip8zoqras/wish/199306614 This correlates with the quote above. The beginning part of the song has some very stretch out single notes, these lead into the main single note that sets up for the rest of the song.  ]]> 2017-10-21 23:20:54 UTC https://padlet.com/colten_gibson/9skip8zoqras/wish/199306614 colten_gibson https://padlet.com/colten_gibson/9skip8zoqras/wish/199306717 The single note is the one at the very beginning. If I was a little more musical versed I could say what cord that was, but I have no idea, I just really really like that sound. This is the "home" note. You hear that single note come back throughout the song. ]]> 2017-10-21 23:24:04 UTC https://padlet.com/colten_gibson/9skip8zoqras/wish/199306717
