For this daily create we are told “There’s not much more powerful magic of nostalgia than the music of youth. Use The Nostalgia Machine to choose a year from your childhood and then find a song that resonates with you. Share out either a screenshot of your chosen year or a link to the video that caught you attention and drew you back into the past.”

For the faithful year of 2015 we see a fantastic list of year. 2015 was truly a gem with so many amazing pieces of music that became the standards of pop and became ingrained into our digital culture.

I choose Can’t feel my face by The Weeknd, this song especially brings back memories of the transition from elementary to high school and how truly surreal ‘prom’ felt at that age. Just a much of preteen singing a song they had no business singing to the highest volume surrounded by teacher who were forced to be chaperones. This so song is still amazing many years later and it truly feels like we are in the audience watching this guy preform and being engulfed by his love.

#tdc4776 #ds106 your latest musical discovery

For this daily create we are asked to “Tell us the latest thing in music you learned. Might have been some time ago, but could be rather recent thing.”

I love all types of media, music for me is a crucial part of my routine. I feel like music makes us human and one band I have recently ‘discovered’ is CORTIS. They are a youth K pop band and unlike the general populaces of K POP; ultra manufactured and trend following this band takes part in producing, choreographing, and write their music. They are so unbelievably young from ages 17-21 it is so refreshing to see teens expressing their love of music in such a way. And as we understand from Mayer’s modality principle this music video greatly supports the music is showing the melancholy vibe and fleeting time of youth.

#tdc3606 #ds106 The Color of A Song

This daily create says “Do songs have a colour? Now they do. Share any song and what colour that song is.”

This album when it came out was such an amazing experience, the album overall follows a monochromatic theme so the colour scheme the artist wants is a big of a mystery, but to me this song is a deep green that fades in, the confidence and military march theme of this song greatly reminds of the green vests of soldiers.

And wouldn’t you know? I am correct. When I went to the concert for Tyler the Creator, this moment was truly and amazing experience and was visually so enjoyable.
