The Band

I think that The Band is amazing. They are so full of passion and variety. I think it is really cool that their lyrics are all written by different people; and you would think that the lyrics would seem disjointed, but it all comes together so well and all the harmonies just make it sound so good that even if the lyrics don't make sense it doesn't matter because it sounds so great. I like how they have horns like the trumpet in their songs and how in live versions they have different people singing the song "The Weight" and all of the people have so much depth in their voices and really make you feel the song. I really think that's the big issue with current music. So many artists just kind of have light lyrics and don't sing too well but it's catchy so we like it. I didn't really realize how much better it is for the artist to have passion in their voice until I listened to this band. And the live versions just make you like it so much more because you see the passion too. My favorite songs are the ones we listened to in class "The Weight", and "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down".
