A blog that shows how all genres of music speak to different walks of life, yet manages to serve a common purpose: understanding the world we live in. I hope my writings show how Rock, Techno, Hip Hop, Rhythm and Blues, and Country cater to their listeners in each of their unique ways, all the while demonstrating the similarities that exist between these genres.

Zac Brown Band
Zac Brown Band is a country band, which is often described as a more fusion-rock sound. His song Toes is a great song with a great message. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the little things in life. He uses the example of sitting on the beach with the water lapping up against him. This is a great use of imagery and is a great way to take advantage of his genre. He talks about "not a worry in the world/ a cold beer in my hand/ life is good today." For many people and country stars, that's what its all about: just having a good time and not worrying about all the stress in life that comes your way. The song is a great representation of a beachside jam session. With silky smooth guitar riffs and a steady jamming drum beat, is easy to be attached to this great song. But I think what he says is right. Why should people put so much stress on themselves, its only going to hurt them in the long run. So just "prop up by the lake/ with not a worry in the world/ and a PBR on the way."
