Album Response

i do not like the words to the third song. however i think that without the words it would not be good either. i think that words are needed for it just different words. the whole impossible germany unlikely japan thing is dumb but i also thing that it symbolizes something more important to the writer. overall i liked the message of the album. the way that most of the other words were put together really made you think and challenged the listener. one of my favorite songs was the forth one because of the way that the music and the writing flowed together. the way that poetry works with music is such an art form. the more creative that you get with it the better everything will flow together and sound better to the listener. even all the songs on this album seemed to flow with each other. for example on some cds one song will have nothing to do with another song even though the artist would say that they do. the transitions from one song to the next worked well. i do like songs that have a depressing sound to them. it think that when an artist writes out of depression that the work can be composed extremely well. however that doesnt mean that im saying to go off and get depressed or anything. there are many artists out there like kurt cobain, pete doherty, or blue october's justin furstenfeld who were depressed and into drugs that were trying to find themselves through all this stuff and they can be considered some of the most talented artists out there. tragedy seems to produce some of the most brilliant minds.

miranda-

i also like depressing songs and movies--i generally think that happy people like depressing art b/c it's an escape. you do a nice job of analyzing this poem and i'm hoping that it will get you more excited about/interested in poetry.

see you monday!
