What is good music? by Stuart Siu https://padlet.com/ssiu/jyyqf831km2r en-us 2017-06-06 19:30:07 UTC 2026-01-14 00:34:16 UTC hello@padlet.com Sali https://padlet.com/ssiu/jyyqf831km2r/wish/175458467 Both were trash for the following reasons:
-Classic four-chord song
-vocalist's voice was irritating
-lyrics had no overall message (were not communicating anything meaningful)
-no enunciation, hard to understand 
-very undynamic
-boring

The second one had nice drum work and guitar work at least. The first song just had the same three notes repeated throughout the whole song.]]> 2017-06-06 20:16:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ssiu/jyyqf831km2r/wish/175458642 Ilana https://padlet.com/ssiu/jyyqf831km2r/wish/175458715 Good music needs a good beat.
Lyrics that have meaning behind them

Boring voice
Growly voice 
Boring melody / not memorable
Words aren't clear
Slurring words 
Not upbeat 
*I did not like this song because the melody was repetitive and lacked spice. The lyrics were not clear and the singer's voice lacked clarity. 

Second song:
Good voice 
Fun and upbeat 
Dynamic 
Clear voice
Catchy
Good harmonies
*I enjoyed this song because it was fun and upbeat. The singer's voice was crisp and dynamic.

Over my Head was sadder whereas dirty little secret was fun, carefree and not meaningful. I like the intensity of the drums in both.

The 2nd one had a better and faster beat
There were nice harmonies, the voice was good. The chord were pretty basic though and very repetitive]]> 2017-06-06 20:18:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ssiu/jyyqf831km2r/wish/175458874 Miriam https://padlet.com/ssiu/jyyqf831km2r/wish/175458889 The Fray
Both songs were nice
Had lots of vocals and instruments 
Has a unique voice
The decrecendo was good
Dirty secret
Up beat 
kind of tells a story
Memorable 
Lots of vocals and guitar
Very fun
Good tempo]]> 2017-06-06 20:18:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ssiu/jyyqf831km2r/wish/175458889 Megan https://padlet.com/ssiu/jyyqf831km2r/wish/175459013 The first song was kind of boring. The words were slurred and the melody didn't change much. The second song was better. It was much more upbeat and changed melody a lot. In my opinion, there is no one definition for good music. There are many different components that can make similar songs very different that change how I feel about them.]]> 2017-06-06 20:20:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ssiu/jyyqf831km2r/wish/175459013 Good music by Brooke https://padlet.com/ssiu/jyyqf831km2r/wish/175459178 So I'd like to start by including what I wrote in my notes while listening to both of these songs. 
The fray song: It's good music but I'm a little bored 
His voice is like rough
So is this a slow song or an upbeat song? 
I think upbeat because of the drums
Oh wait the bridge is pretty slow 
This seems like it could be the happy ending at the end of a movie kind of song 
Ok I think it's a solid piece of music 

The dirty little secret song: This is perfect music 
I'm absolutely in love with this 
It's so fun! 
Wow what a good singer 
Catchy Catchy Catchy! 
I'm literally dancing in my seat 
It's not good in the sense that it's relatable and deep and stuff but it's good in the sense that it's just fun! 
I like it better than the other 
Identifiable intro...that's always fun 

After listening to the two songs, I've come to the conclusion that the second song is "good music". I think that good music can be categorized into two categories for me: music that makes me feel something, and music that makes me want to dance. By feel something I mean smile, laugh, cry, sad cry, happy cry, etc (I'm a crier, can you tell?) The first song had the potential to be that first option, but it lacked interest and engagement. The second song is good music because it made me want to dance. The first song had potential, but alas- it didn't make me feel anything, or want to dance.
