The type of music I am going to classify is pop and R&B. The song I chose “Is Just a Dream by Nelly. The emotion that is being evoked is sadness. Nelly loves this girl and wishes they could be together, but then he starts dating her. He is really happy until he finds out that it was just a dream. When I hear the song it calms and every word song can be applied to a particular part of my life. Whether it is happy or sad, I can always find a way to relate to this song. Also, it’s ‘my favorite choice to listen to sometimes your mind relaxes and you start thinking about how the song relates to your life. Some people sing to express this, others may even close their eyes and imagine it. Another song I chose is “How to Love” by Lil Wayne. The song shares a story about a girl at a bar who is a stripper but doesn’t want to be and Wayne basically is pointing out how he’s loved her since she was young. He believes that she can do much better with her life. The song I’m contrasting and comparing is well known singers like Justin Bebier.
