TPOL rough draft....

Rockin’ in the USA:
This project was intended to be used to research music in context with the history and the events during that time. In addition to historical research we also were asked to write and performance original song. Writing a song is much different than writing a paper or a poem or even a personal diary and performing the song was even harder. We practiced for so many hours for a three minute performance and we didn’t get the chance to try again if we messed up. I really enjoyed writing the song though. My group also made it really easy to work together to write the music so everything went really smoothly. When I was younger I always loved to write songs for fun and to get different emotions out. As a group we all decided to study the genre of Indie music. I know I like indie because of the wide variety of sound that indie bands and artists have written and composed. I never realized how new indie music is and how unique of an idea it was. I always thought that artists wrote their music because it was something that they truly believed in. I now realize that there are so many artists out there that would give up their original sound for a bag of gold, so to speak. Indie is defined as an independent artists that won’t sell out their sound for any price. It first originated from punk rock in the 1970’s and 1980’s, a bunch of people who had something to say about anything would create a band and sing about what was on their mind. At first indie was a lot more of an abrasive sound rather than now, where it is more of a guitar pop sound. Once indie became more mellow it was also becoming more mainstream and that led to commercial success. In the 21st century there were a lot of indie bands playing free concerts for universities because college students could relate to the lyrics and liked the music.

The main reason I am so passionate about school is partially because of my goals in the future, I want to have as many options as possible. I love spending time learning, studying, and researching animal behaviors and sciences. If I do choose to persue veterinary medicine as I hope, I know I can never be too well versed on any material having to do with animals. I chose for my TPOL to study, understand, and compare animal instincts versus human instincts.
