Over and Over and Over by Natalie Becker https://padlet.com/hannatali4/ypa1msw6pe84 en-us 2017-10-04 15:09:42 UTC 2017-10-06 18:49:23 UTC hello@padlet.com Donna by Ritchie Valens hannatali4 https://padlet.com/hannatali4/ypa1msw6pe84/wish/193908642 This song repeats "Oh, Donna" and the chorus. It's true meaning is the way he can't get over this girl, and can do nothing but repeat her name over and over.]]> 2017-10-04 15:10:07 UTC https://padlet.com/hannatali4/ypa1msw6pe84/wish/193908642 Repetitive music done right - In my opinion. hannatali4 https://padlet.com/hannatali4/ypa1msw6pe84/wish/193910409 Good repetition in music is not constant. There are breaks, a small or large respite from the repetition that allows us to relax a bit, and also  appreciate what both the repetition and the break signalize. ]]> 2017-10-04 15:12:47 UTC https://padlet.com/hannatali4/ypa1msw6pe84/wish/193910409 hannatali4 https://padlet.com/hannatali4/ypa1msw6pe84/wish/193911432 I listen to the same album while I study - I like the consistency and the repetition of it helps me concentrate on what I'm doing. Ratliff echoes this statement:  "Repetition is a smart psychological operation—a way to make you focus on all that is in fact nonrepetitive. The music seems to stay put, while you (or your perceptions) change." (Ratliff, 16.)]]> 2017-10-04 15:14:23 UTC https://padlet.com/hannatali4/ypa1msw6pe84/wish/193911432 "At what point can you assume that repetition only leads to more of the same, or that it won’t lead you to a new perception of what you’re hearing?" (Ratliff, 17). hannatali4 https://padlet.com/hannatali4/ypa1msw6pe84/wish/193913841 There is a point in a repetitious song that I begin to get incredulous that it is still going, and still repeating. ]]> 2017-10-04 15:18:07 UTC https://padlet.com/hannatali4/ypa1msw6pe84/wish/193913841 Ride This Out by Imaginary Cities hannatali4 https://padlet.com/hannatali4/ypa1msw6pe84/wish/193917332 This song is repetitious, but also has variation because it builds up throughout the whole song to make the words more powerful and show her determination to "Ride This Out."]]> 2017-10-04 15:23:29 UTC https://padlet.com/hannatali4/ypa1msw6pe84/wish/193917332 Repetition hannatali4 https://padlet.com/hannatali4/ypa1msw6pe84/wish/194110899 Repetition in music is as close as we get to infinity, as it repeats over and over. The song is usually trying to make a statement when it repeats, because it wants to get a certain phrase or tune in your head. It is done purposefully.]]> 2017-10-04 23:04:06 UTC https://padlet.com/hannatali4/ypa1msw6pe84/wish/194110899 I Like repetition in some regards hannatali4 https://padlet.com/hannatali4/ypa1msw6pe84/wish/194813234 I think repetition makes a statement, and quite like it in movies and poems, where it's clear there's a theme to it. It's harder for me to tell in music what they're trying to show, and also gives me a slight headache to listen to the same thing repeated. I usually don't have the energy to delve into the deeper meaning, because I'm too busy trying to get it out of my head. ]]> 2017-10-06 18:19:18 UTC https://padlet.com/hannatali4/ypa1msw6pe84/wish/194813234 Sources Cited hannatali4 https://padlet.com/hannatali4/ypa1msw6pe84/wish/194818013 Ratliff, Ben. “1.
