Class Reflection Week 5

What makes a good intro in a great rock song? When we listened to the Beatles song "Eight Days a Week" and we talked about the fade in, in fact the first fade in the Beatles tried. I really started to think about intros to songs and when certain types of intros started to become popular and what made certain bands choose what intros went into each song. I went through my library and tried to find some interesting intros to compare to the Beatles' song.

This is runaway by the killers. A band that I talked about in last weeks post.

This is a song by Two Door Cinema Club called Cigarettes in the Theater

Here is a popular song that should be something many people have heard also with a faint intro to start the song

I really enjoyed the song by the Beatles and all of the bands I just listed were started prior. Is it a coincidence or did the Beatles and other bands from their era have an impact on the way songs sound and the specifics of how they are written.

Something to think about.
