LB 9: "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain"

 "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain"

The song that I chose this week is called "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain," by Willie Nelson. This song has a very peaceful melody to it, however the lyrics are sad. In the song, the singer, Willie Nelson, is talking about having to say goodbye to someone and knowing that he will never see that person again. He loved the person that he is having to say goodbye to, so he is sad. The listener of this song is able to feel the emotion that Willie Nelson is experiencing. The tune makes the listener able to put themselves in Willie Nelson's situation. The lyrics "blue eyes crying in the rain" are repeated several times throughout the song and are used as a hook. They make the song catchy. I like this song because it is has a country tune to it and country is my favorite genre of music. I also like it because the instrumental music in the background of the song is calm and then the voice of Willie Nelson is also soothing. I think that this is a reason that this song was so successful. In conclusion, the song "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" is sad, yet relaxing.

    Hi, I like your post. I have never heard this song before, but just by the title I can tell that it is going to be a sad song. It is kinda interesting that it can be sad but relaxing. I do not know if I have heard that before.

    I'll be honest, I'm not a big fan of country music and I've never heard of this song. But I had to hear it for myself, it was shorter than I expected and way better than I expected. Like you said, it's sad but kinda sweet. I could actually see myself listening to this after a stressful day, but don't tell anybody because then they'll make me start listening to more country.

    I don't like country too much but I have to agree. The emotion conveyed in this song is so powerful and well represented. I think everyone has had those moments where you know that you won't see someone again. I think that those moments can be the most important and where we learn the most.

    Hey Claire! I am not a giant fan of country music but I would also agree with you that this song is very relaxing. I also loved the instrumental in the background it gave the song a very peaceful vibe. I probably will be singing this song in my head for a while now since it's so catchy haha.

    I also really enjoy country music. Your description of the song as sad but relaxing really does fit. Willie did very well in making you feel something as you listened to the song while still having a catchy tune and lyrics. Great job! :))

    I totally agree that this song has a very catchy hook, but really makes you feel the sadness and emotion in his voice. It's also very relaxing and would make a welcome addition to my sad boy hours playlist. I've never been a huge fan of country music, but I actually really like this one.

 "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" The song that I chose this week is called "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" by John Denver. The reason that I chose this song is because country is my favorite genre of music and I am familiar with this song. The beginning of the song starts with a clapping noice and then John Denver joins in. This creates a good rhythm. The hook "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" makes the song memorable. This phrase is repeated several times throughout the song and makes it catchy. After listening to this song it will have the effect of being in stuck in your head for a while. This song is an example of original country music as the lyrics reflect being a country boy and the instruments in the song reflect a country tune. A unique aspect of this song occurs at the end, when John Denver speaks in a normal voice and says "Thank God I'm a Country Boy, yeah" and then one instrument begins to play by itself, eventually other ins...

LB 11: "Gone Country"

 "Gone Country" The song that I chose this week is called "Gone Country," by Alan Jackson. The reason that I chose this song is because my favorite genre of music is country and Alan Jackson is one of my favorite singers. The reason that I love Alan Jackson's songs is because they are true country. Today, it seems like a lot of the music that is considered country is not really country, it is more in the pop genre. Alan Jackson's southern sound, along with the music being played helps the song sound country. I have been listening to Alan Jackson since I was little and I love all of his songs. I also appreciate the lyrics in this song. I feel like I can relate to them, as I am from Alabama. The place where I lived in Alabama was pretty country and this song reminds me of home. The line that is repeated and is catchy in this song is "He's gone country." There are several different phrases that follow this phrase, but this phrase is the hook of th...
