The way Ratliff describes transmission is that music is not always supposed to be sung it could be spoken and have just as much meaning if not more. For example, Julia by The Beatles is more spoken than it is sung, but that does not take away from the beauty of the song. With the artist speaking in short phrases it allows me to communicate more as a listener on a personal level, because it feels as if we are having a conversation more than me listening to a story. Though overall I do agree with what Ratliff is saying, I have a few things that Ratliff does not mention in mind.]]> 2017-10-16 03:33:53 UTC https://padlet.com/christophermorgan2/rri9brkpyihe/wish/197206318 christophermorgan2 https://padlet.com/christophermorgan2/rri9brkpyihe/wish/197207344 This example Ratliff provides shows his standpoint on how transmission should be used ideally in a song. Julia by The Beatles has always been a long time classic and soothing on the ear to listen to. ]]> 2017-10-16 03:43:39 UTC https://padlet.com/christophermorgan2/rri9brkpyihe/wish/197207344 christophermorgan2 https://padlet.com/christophermorgan2/rri9brkpyihe/wish/197207677 The way I can perceive Ratliff's view on transmission is that he believes that not everything has to be sung. Which I agree with knowing that there are many great songs that are not specifically sung, but more pieced together in a theme. It allows the listener to take a more personal feel with the artist. It does not feel as if they are mass producing this song, it feels as if they are producing a song just for you.]]> 2017-10-16 03:47:20 UTC https://padlet.com/christophermorgan2/rri9brkpyihe/wish/197207677 christophermorgan2 https://padlet.com/christophermorgan2/rri9brkpyihe/wish/197207948 "The great accomplishments of man have resulted from the transmission of ideas and enthusiasm."
