two-paragraph sample writing about a song

Is there a song you love? Why do you love this song? Write a two-paragraph essay in which you explain why you love this particular song and what makes it “good.” Try to convince your classmates why they should listen to the song and love it too. Be as evocative and descriptive (and even poetic) as possible in your writing. Avoid simply stating “It’s so cool” or “I like the beat,” and instead try using some of your new musical vocabulary to identify the musical features that make it a compelling song. For example, spend time describing the timbre of the instruments or the singer’s voice; attend to the relationship between the musicians; describe the emotions or associations that the song evokes. While you can touch on the lyrics, try to focus principally on the music. Be sure to provide a YouTube link to the song at the beginning of your response.
