Listening Blog #10

 For this week's blog post, I decided to listen to "Lady" by Kenny Rodgers. I had heard most of the other song options and I wanted to listen to something that I hadn't listened to before. I really like it. I really like the background instruments accompanying Kenny Rodgers as he sings with his smooth and powerful voice. I like how the song started out really slowly and gradually built up to the chorus where there are a lot more layers to the song. This slow buildup of intensity makes the song really fun to listen to because it sort of draws the listener into the slowness and then carries them on into the more intense chorus. It also adds a bit of an emphasis onto the chorus that makes you feel it more than if the whole song carried that amount of energy the whole time. After listening to the song a couple more times, I began to pay more attention to the lyrics of the song, whereas at the start I was mostly just paying attention to the instrumentals and the overall mood and layout of the song. It is a powerful love song where Kenny sings to a woman and expresses his love for her. I enjoyed this song and would recommend giving it a listen.
