Hearing is Believing

The auditory essay by professor Sloan was pretty interesting and was something different than just reading text like we have been for the past couple of weeks. The one thing that stuck out to me was that lyrics can be an important part of the song but the music will always be more important. I agree with this because people don't just pay attention to the lyrics due to the fact you can't understand them sometimes. The music itself is more important because that is the first thing you hear and if the beat is not good then you are automatically going to think the song is bad. At least that's how it is for me. The one thing that I found interesting was how the instrumental song was banned from the radio just because it sounded dirty and dangerous. I also liked how prof. Sloan said that listening allows a limitless landscape of possibilities. When you are listening to something compared to looking at it it makes a big difference. I think that when you are listening to something then you can get a better picture in your head. Basically it is all your thoughts that you get while listening to it other than looking at something that is already there.
