Song commenting: Welcome To My Life.
What's interesting about this song is that it actually talks about one personal's life.
The rhythm?? Well, it's rather fast, and the beats are like, strong and "rough".
The melody, as in articulation, is generally staccato, and the mood is like, angry, unhappy and maybe... Lonely??
The timbre, the tone is like rough rough and it puts a lot, a lot of feelings into the singing.
It makes me feel as if I am seeing what is happening from that singer's point of veiw.

song commenting: Welcome To My Life
-> I think that this song is a type of song that talks about a person's personal life which might be different from others' life. It's feels nice when you listen to this song...
The mood of this song is rather happy.
To me, the articulation of this song is generally staccato than legato...

I like the song "circle of life" as it has lots of sounds and echo.

umm...I like...well...umm all of the songs. But if I had to choose one, it would be it's my life by Bon Jovi. The music is perfect and what I like the most about the song is the beat and the rhythm. The song is perfect and the drums and the electric guitar is all well syncronized. The drums are well syncronized with the vocals.

Its My Life By Bon Jovi, its very good as the background music suits the rhythm of the song.

Anonymous said...

i like IT'S MY LIFE.
The background music is very rhythmic and is full of energy that make the listener feel that his life is also like talking about theirs. The music also suits the lyrics. The song really talks about their life and it is very meaningful. Their introduction is very creative. The melody is very rough and deep.
