Song Analysis

For my song analysis I chose the song Glosoli. This is one of my favorite songs so I am very happy to be able to do this song for my analysis. The way in which all of the instruments, including vocals, are arranged in this song gives you this calming feeling that makes you feel relaxed at the beginning and this emotional one at the end. At the beginning of this song it is very calming with a subtle drum beat that continues throughout the song. This keeps the feeling of the song up until you get to the build up. The vocals throughput the entire song act as an instrument as apposed to a prominent voice. This adds to the mood and theme of the song. As the song progresses the drums get louder speeding up the pace of the song a little. This builds you up to the big finale. When you finally reach the build up it is very emotionally impacting because you knew it was coming the whole time. This gives the song an element of suspense. At the end of the song you here virtually silence for a few seconds and then a light little chime that sounds almost like a child's toy. This gives you time to think about what you have just heard and intemperate it in your own way before the next song starts.
