April showers

April showers is a very nice slow song and its very calming to listen to it I would enjoy listening to this song to after a stressful day to calm myself down. When listening to it how the song is slow and how the instruments are higher in pitch it makes it happy but calming. I enjoy listening to it even the message of the lyrics has a happy meaning to it. He talks about how in the beginning that you shouldn’t miss the sun giving way to April showers. Then later in the song it talks about how the showers bring the flowers that bloom in May. Then says "so if it's raining have no regrets". When reading the lyrics and listening to the song it gives me the impression that he wants people to see the positive of the rain and how it brings a beautiful season. One of the messages that you can take away from this song is that sometimes the bad has to happen for the case of this song that would be the rain. For something good to happen which is the beautiful flowers that bloom from the rain.

 The song I chose to listen to is Soldier's Joy. When you listen to the songs that instrumental part of the song feels happy and energetic it brings a lot of joy. It sounds like a square dancing song it gives you that feeling of wanting to dance. But just like the song pumped up kicks if you listen deep into the lyrics it is actually a sad song. It talks about how life was as a soldier. When he sings at the end "Twenty-five cents for whiskey, fifteen cents for beer, twenty-five cents for morphine. Get me out of here." He is either about to retire or has been in the army long enough to hate war now and his way of coping with the PTSD from war is to drink is problems away and he just wants to leave. Another line is "Chicken in a bread pan scratching that dough. Granny does your dog bite?" The beginning part of it is talking about how the food that they're having looks like a chicken was screwing up their food. He also asks if the dog bites, he probably was asking that because he wanted to feed it to the dog then eat the horrible-looking food.
