It’s been on my mind for a while now – why do we love the songs we love?
Is it the instruments? The sound of the singer’s voice? The melodies and the harmonies? Was this song the soundtrack to some of our fondest memories? Does it help put us in a certain mood? Why does this song stand out from the rest?
As a singer-songwriter, I want to explore the songs I love and try to understand why they resonate with me. As I hear it, I’ll break down the song and find the parts I relate to or the instrumentation. It’s not scientific or groundbreaking, just the musings of a music lover hoping to share their passion with others.
