MUSIC REVIEW....
Music Review:
Keep Your Head Up - Andy Grammer
Starts with a piano playing with some vocal "oh's", beat boxing type sounds come into the song, drums and bass break into the song . Song fully begins the intro is over and full vocals are now in the song.The lyrics and singer's voice are clean and smooth and give the song a good flow. The background instruments fill the background well which make the song more interesting and not dull and feel full. The song has a distinct chorus and all the parts of the song fit together making it a decent song.
The lyrics in this song are basically saying or telling people that when they get discouraged or frustrated to not just give up keep trying, "keep your head up," because everything will be okay and work out in the end. They explain that you need to gain self confidence and then you will feel more comfortable about what you do, how you feel, and how you react to other people. I think that anyone can relate to this song because every thing it says it true and helpful when growing up and being happy.
This song makes me think of teenagers who are just entering high school and they are nervous and scared of whats to come. They are frightened of all the other teens that they have no idea who they are. I picture a bunch of grade nines walking the halls confused, and lost as to where they should be going and how to react to others they see or meet. But once they gain some confidence everything is okay and they start making friends getting to know their peers and get to know the high school environment. I can relate to this because i went through the same things.

A great song with a hook!
Kids-MGMT
This song has only one or two hooks but they stick in your head and are very catchy and easy to hum along to and puts the song together.The first and main hook is right at the beginning of the song. The hook is a beat made from drums and a synthesizer or a keyboard I think that because it plays two notes quickly right after each other and have an electric type of sound, that sound could not be from and brass instruments of sting instruments. In the background of this song no instruments are playing the same notes through out the song just in parts and pieces of the song. This makes the vocals standout and have more of an effect. But the downside, weird, or interesting part to the song is that it is not made up like most songs because the dividing of the notes a chords is irregular and stange, but that suits the band being as they are strange as well.
