Hearing is believeing

This auditory essay by Prof. Sloan was very interesting to listen to. I agreed with pretty much everything that was mentioned in the essay. I also hope that I interpreted the meaning of everything correct but if not I apologize. It is indeed very true that the lyrics in a song get heard a lot less then the actual music it self. People focus on the instrumental sound more then anything because of the fact that if the instruments sound bad, then the song will of course sound bad. But sometimes people do listen to the lyrics, you just have to focus in order to "hear" them. When I listen to music I try to hear both the lyrics and the music because music is my biggest hobby but it is still difficult for me to hear both at the same time. Another thing that Prof. Sloan talked about was a song that was banned from radio and such. I thought it was weird that the song didn't have lyrics but critics thought the song "sounded bad" so they then banned the song. It is very crazy how you don't even need lyrics to have a song be bad. One of my favorite parts of this essay was the radio commercial about how radio is better than television. I thought it was very clever how the comedian guy described the hot chocolate in the ways that he did. I agree that it is sometimes better to imagine things better when you hear them rather then seeing them on TV or some form of advertisement. It definitely paints a better picture in your mind. I think this was by far the most interesting thing so far in this class. I really enjoyed listening to this auditory essay.
