Mr Paul Says Do You Really Know Your Taste In Music
A comment from Mr Paul says he feels that Punk music is aggresive and can be frightening whereas softer music can be more comforting.Do you think he is correct in his assumption or do you have a different view.On my favorite Backing Track site you can buy all styles of music to sing to.Maybe it's an oppotunity to try something.Purchase a Punk song and learn to sing it then maybe a love ballad and analyze your feelings as you sing or those that you have made listen.It might give you an idea of the person you are.Try this one to start with http://www.soundback.co.uk/mp3/SEX-PISTOLS/Pretty-Vacant/2753.php Then try http://www.soundback.co.uk/mp3/GLEN-CAMPBELL/By-The-Time-I-Get-To-Phoenix/3682.php See if you can find a simalarity in these two songs or are they so far removed from each other there is absolutely nothing in common.

Wow what a thought psychiatry with a song.I'll have some of that.
ReplyDeleteMy voice could never handle both a punk song and a love ballad - unless they were the 2 famous versions of 'My Way'!!!
ReplyDeleteGood thinking though. 'Softer' music is supposed to be more calming, but there are people who are enraged by 'soft pop' and comforted by more raucous genres.
Each to their own.
p.s. does the site you recommend have both versions?
Unfortunately www.Soundback.co.uk can only supply one backing track version of this song but I take your point.Do you think that it is a generation thing as in the 50s some liked the aggressive Rock n' Roll whilst others took there comfort from ballads of the time.Remembering as with Punk much of the society wanted Rock n' Roll banned from the airwaves. This is the link to the Frank Sinatra version of My Way good luck with it.

My teenage years spanned the emergence of punk music which following on from huge stadium bands like Emerson, Lake and Palmer and tightly crafted music from bands like Barclay James Harvest was a breath of fresh air. The energy an enthusiasm at live performances far outweighed their lack of musical ability and it wasn't long before bands with musical talent took punk into new wave, The Stranglers, Magazine, Wire etc. Happy days.
