Who Dat?! WE DAT!

Who dats all over New Orleans boogied down to many Saints themed songs this football season. Through songs, fans and the Saints players get pumped up about the game and give instant confident boosters. Its interesting to me how the New Orleans Saints has numerous songs written or performed in their honor. This is the way we live, New Orleans Saints # 1 on the field..man, that must make the team feel pretty damn good. Stand up and get crunk makes fans go pretty much insane. And U2's The Saints Are Coming makes the players and fans feel at home in the dome. These songs definatly play a role in the Saints non-stop success. The music pumps up the crowd, which in return makes the players feel confidant!
New Orleans is a city with deep roots in music, which makes sense as to why who dats are constantly on their feet during the game dancing, cheering, and, well..being typical New Orleans Saints fans!
I believe that music plays such a great role in completing a New Orleans Saints game in the dome. It gives fans the full experience of being one of many who dats. I mean, really, who doesn't get pumped up when STAND UP AND GET CRUNK is blaring in your ears?!

Declaring Independence through Music

Throughout time there have been many artists declaring his or her independence, strong beliefs, and political views through his or her music. Some of the greatest hits emerged during times of political turmoil, civil war, and racist times. Music created for protest, I believe, is some of the greatest music. Not only does it have such great meaning behind it, but this music brings with it great history to last throughout time. Music written out of protest is simply empowering. When listening to the music you can feel at one with the artist and feel what he or she is trying to portray to the audience.
Bob Marley and The Wailers 'Get Up Stand Up' written 1973 is a song that rebelling against oppression. To me it is one of the greatest protesting songs because it sends across such a strong message to those being oppressed. Their powerful rebel against oppression is shown clearly throughout this song. With such great purpose behind this song, it gives the oppressed peoples hope. Through music, the people can feel, at least for a number of minutes, relieved. Through music they can receive a powerful message.
This is just one example of artists being inspired by protesting and speaking out for what he or she believes to be right. I believe that music is the best way to get the public aware of important issues that are sometimes overlooked. Music is personal. It reaches out to people and touches their inner soul, rather than a newspaper or a news story. Music goes deeper than that by expressing thoughts through lyric and rhythm.

Hello world!

Hey everyone, welcome to my blog! My music interest is very ecclectic. From pop sensations such a Britney Spears to rock and roll bands like Nirvana. Music that brings across an interesting, catchy message along with a great beat always catchs my interest. Unfortunatly, there are those bands that are complete failures at creating great music without seeming overly dramatic and cheesy. Prime example, Nickleback. They tend to struggle...greatly. Music is such a great way to express how I'm feeling.
