1970's

This weeks songs are My Sharona by The Knack and Hanging On The Telephone.

This was one of the weeks I was most exited for I love both of these songs especially Blondie, whenever I have the chance I sing Blondie and put my all into it she's one of idols. I have also been compared to her vocally. I love the raw edge she has to her voice which is something that has disappeared over time and isn't appreciated as much in today's music industry.

My Sharona was an interesting song to learn when I actually looked at the lyrics it was very weird I did some external research it has quite a disturbing meaning behind it. The vocals are driven from the beat of the music its quite a fun song to sing it has a lot of energy in practice the rest of the band wasn't the biggest fan of the song which was quite disappointing for me as I really enjoyed it and a few members said it is a song they'd like to take it out the set list when we decide our final set.

Hanging On The Telephone was a song that people struggled with as the structure of the song was difficult so the rest of the band had chord charts which our teaching assistant made for them, as she has perfect pitch and generated them and had her own business. After a few times the band got the hang of it but sometimes I missed my que, as the timing for the vocals wasn't a typical structure and was leading before the other instruments came in.
