Final Song Relfection

When I had finally finished my English Song project, the dominant feeling I had was relief. Although I had began the project with the mentality that creating lyrics to a song and then singing it would be simple- as I went step by step through the process, things only got more complicated. Creating lyrics I found to be one of the best parts to the assignment because I was able to write in a style I wasn’t used to while voicing my opinion on something I found important (individuality). Performing these lyrics to music was a whole other obstacle. Since my friends and I don’t have the best voices, we decided to sing in a group and match it to a beat I would later create on garageband. Volume levels, and making a instrumental to fit singing was quit difficult and consumed a lot of my time, so when the song with not so great vocals and an okay lyrical match, came out I was pretty much pleased with it. Creating the movie (by grabbing images off of the internet) was pretty easy and downloading my song to imovie was a breeze. Putting it on my blog however, was a different story.
When everything was said and done, I overcame my little nerves and presented the song to the class- I was pretty proud of the overall results, and didn’t care so much about my bad vocals anymore. The project lead me to appreciate the music industry and any artist that can actually create an okay sounding song with a deeper meaning, and I also learned more about myself and what I think is important enough in the world to spend more then 4 hours creating a song about.
