Listening Blog 4

 

For this week’s listening blog, I chose to listen Glenn Miller’s “In the Mood”. I chose this piece because I had already heard I think everyone has heard it. It is always played at events especially with bands and dancing. This song reminds me of happy memories of swing with my high school friends at our high school’s big dancing event. This song is so fun! It really does get you in the mood to dance. It has all the elements of a big brass band that make it so fun. The loud instruments really make you want to get up and dance. I like how at the end it starts fading out but then it gets louder and starts again. It tricks you into thinking it’s over when it’s not. This song is iconic because it is used in many movies and shows. It is a fun song that truly captures the spirit of swing dancing and having fun. I always enjoy listening to this song because of the happiness it brings for me. It really does remind me of good times with my friends and dancing even if I suck at dancing. This song will always be a classic and people will always want to dance to it.

    I really liked your blog and how you really expressed the mood this song gives you. "In the Mood" really is a song that makes you want to dance and I bet most agree on that. I liked how you incorporated your life into this blog and really related to the song so much.

    Hey Jamie, I love that this song reminds you of a high school swing dance with friends. That’s so fun! I really love the way music can make you remember happy moments. This is definitely an iconic song, but I never knew the name of it before, so I’m glad to have figured it out finally. I definitely relate to not being a very good dancer, but I do love dancing too and this song is perfect for that!

    Hey Jamie, any song that takes you back to the “good old days” in high school is a good song. I agree with you on this song. I think that a lot of people would be able to recognize this song from dances. Hopefully you are right that people will want to dance to it for a long time to come.
