https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=101&v=j4n2-74IlXE Another simple song. What can I say? Maybe I'm a fan of simple songs, or maybe we're on a bad luck streak. In any case, this song is pretty nice, I like the singer's "ooh" working well with the rhymes. No four chord progression, and the theme of "blind love" is a little … Continue reading 11/23/2017: Staring at the Sun (Vanic, 2017)

11/23/2017: Happy Pills (Weathers, 2016)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=82&v=mFxq7Mb96b0 A song about anti-depressants. This one's also pretty catchy and it's interesting how he infers taking the "happy pills" make him numb and the girl's not worth this emotion. Overall this song is also 4/5, and its message is pretty blatant, so I think I'll be tackling a third song today. Sorry guys! xP … Continue reading 11/23/2017: Happy Pills (Weathers, 2016)

I tell you guys what, I'll post … Continue reading 11/23/2017: Superstitious (Stevie Wonder, 1972)
Galway Girl (Ed Sheeran, 2017)
Huh, two Ed Sheeran songs in a row, that's a surprise to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87gWaABqGYs Similar to the previous song I analyzed, Shape of You, it's got a catchy beat and tune, with the big difference of having a country feel to it due to the fiddles used and lack of pop synthesizer. What's funny is that … Continue reading Galway Girl (Ed Sheeran, 2017)
11/21/2017: Shape of You (Ed Sheeran, 2017)
Bum, de bum, bum, de bum, song that never gets old! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGwWNGJdvx8 Ah yes, Ed Sheeran's top hit for 2017. What can I say? It's got a catchy beat, good lyrics, and everybody likes it. With a cool minor key supporting the nice melody, Shape of You is one of Ed's best songs, if not … Continue reading 11/21/2017: Shape of You (Ed Sheeran, 2017)
