C.D. Term Project

1. Me Veras Caer, Soda Stereo. 1986.
The song by Soda Stereo, Me Veras Caer, represents many things about my self. First of all, one: I am Hispanic. Second: I am of argentine background. Thirdly and most important, the song lyrics are rather motivating, hence the title of it, which is translated to, " you will watch me fall." The reason it is motivating a song and motivating for me is because, when I am down on my self I look to this song in order to never let anyone watch me fail. Never give up and always fight through bad times.

4. Adios Muchachos, Carlos Gardel. 1920.
Now this song by Carlos Gardel, Adios Muchachos, is also a reflection for my Argentinean background. I specifically like this song because of its lyrics. The song talks about a mans life fulfilled with good and struggling memories coming to an end, but the only all good times will always prevail for him and for his friends to remember him.
5. Speed of Sound, Cold Play. 2005.
This song by Cold Play I specifically like for its sound. I like how the piano dominates. I also like how the vocals are and once again the lyrics are beautifully written and meaningful.
6. Welcome to Jamrock, Damien Marley. 2005.
Welcome to Jamrock, is a great song that lyrics show the reality of...
