Well, hello. I’m still testing this.

Music Notes

A blog, generally about music, usually for projects hosted by Jeff

. I may also write about the 48-Hour Media Prompt Challenge if I don't feel like writing a story or poem inspired by the given song. Other bits of poetry or different topics of discussion might end up here as well.

In response to "I Heard It Through the Grapevine (CCR)"

I've only known the Marvin Gaye version. I have to say that CCR did it justice. The drums and that bass. So cool.

Excellent choice!

Great song choice! There is also a version with Gladys Knight and the Pips that may or may not have been the first one. It was the first one that I heard.

Puff the Magic Dragon is a great song for traumatising the kids. There's nothing like a happy ending, and that one is definitely nothing like a happy ending.

In response to "I Won't Back Down"

I like Tom Petty, too. My favorite song is Mary Jane's Last Dance. However, I like the message of I Won't Back Down. It's a fine choice.

In response to "Creeque Alley"

This is when I like AI. The song is a story about when the group was formed. It was released when I had first started college. Where? In California! Good choice of song.

Relate, by 4K+C

My second choice for "Invalid Item"

is a song released by Christian artists For King and Country in 2022 as a single off their What Are We Waiting For album. Relate crossed over from spiritual into secular pop playlists shortly after its release, and last year I heard it several times at McDonald's.

I remember when I first noticed it a few years ago I wasn't particularly impressed. It seemed rather milquetoast, watered down to appeal to a wider audience with a message already common in pop music.

After a while, though, it grew on me; at one point I heard it on a secular station in passing and felt bad when I did not recognize their voices right away. I'm usually excellent at spotting the voices of artists I'm familiar with, and I always wonder how I can call myself a fan of 4K+C if I am only familiar with a handful of their work. So I sat down with Relate and added it to my personal playlist to get to know them better.

It has a simple rhetorical theme, showcasing the brothers' signature calm, clear voices. They don't strike exaggerated high notes, maintaining an even tone throughout. This is one of the things I appreciate about 4K+C.
