"45" and "California Gurls"

The song "45" by Shinedown is one of the greatest songs they created, they have a terrific beat and a fantastic rhythm in this song. If you like Shinedown or rock, you will want to read this post.

This song has a medium speed tempo but it is a song anyone can sing to and everyone will want to sing to when they hear it. It has a great texture, it begins thin during the verses and then it is thick during the chorus and at the end of the song it is extremely thick. The melody or tone of the song starts out sort of soft and then gets really loud but it sounds great. Shinedown is one of the best rock bands of our century, every song they have made has been a big hit. The interpretation of this song is how life can feel like a gun, it's about being comfortable with yourself, which is one of the hardest things to do. I think it is about realization on how hard life can get. Harmony in this song is peaceful at first and kind of sad for the rest of the song.


The song "California Gurls" by Katy Perry and Snoop Dogg is one of the worst songs i have ever heard, it was okay the first ten times but after that it got old really quick. If you like this song, you must have not heard it as many times as I have.

The texture of this song is medium, it's not thick but it's not thin, it has a great texture but it is played way too much. The melody is almost good, it is just sung to much, Katy sings it at least four times in three minutes. Harmony is perfect, this is the best part about this song and it is usually the best part of any song she sings. The interpretation for this song is a metaphor saying that today's pop artists are in it for the money. I think that is just to represent where she lives and to encourage people to come to California.


The comparison of both "45" and"California Gurls"-

Both songs are good but one is the best of the two. Shinedown's "45" has terrific beats and a rocking rhythm. But Katy Perry's "California Gurls" has a great harmony and lots of popularity. I think that "45" is the bettter song but that's only my opinion.
