This week we listened to a little bit of Simon and Garfunkel and The Mamas & The Papas. I actually really enjoyed Simon and Garfunkel. A song that I liked the most, to the point I took out my phone to Shazam was Homeward Bound. Coming out in 1966 surprises me because it sounds like a song that could possibly be played on 93.3 today. The way the music was layed out was pretty interesting. It starts out pretty slow but once it hits the chorus, it speeds up. Their voices are pure and you can tell what each word that they are saying is unlike Frank Zappa.... not even going there on this blog. I think I will continue listening to them!
The Mamas & The Papas is a band I've know for as far back as I can remember. But for some reason the only song I know from the first word to the last is California Dreaming. When I was little I used to sing this song all the time but I remember only singing the background voices- 'All the leaves are brown' (all the leaves are brown) 'And the sky is grey' (and the sky is grey). I listened to the song so much, the lyrics just come naturally whenever I hear the song! I look forward to hearing more of their music!
