Review:
A harmony of sorts
- - a loud, raucous middle, with a cool, collected ending
A bumpy start
one instrument colliding into another
Sounds: inexperienced
Sounds: provocative?
The melody kicks in, and its sound is nothing short of beautiful
- - but not everyone will be able to sit through the initial untamed noise
When the lyrics arrive, have the patience to withstand the lack of talent
Focus on: content
Focus on: meaning
When the chorus erupts from the quiet bassline
- - listen closely
Sure the chorus is essentially one line, repeated four times
But it's a good line
it's a damn good line
The second verse is not as good as the first
and that's no lie
But the melody is soothing nonetheless
Again: the chorus
Again: the same line
Then the bridge,
- - it was not designed to make the song longer, not to direct your attention from its simple three-chord progression
It merely: commands attention
It merely: provokes intrigue
Then the chorus
followed by the last verse
- - naturally the best verse of all
However unattainable the sound
However provocative the beginning, the song is nearly complete
And with one final a Capella chorus, it's almost like the song is patting itself on the back
Sounds: arrogant
Sounds: accomplished
With one final strum, on one final chord, the song fades out
- - it seems so long whilst listening to the song, but when its all over you quickly realize, it the same length as any other song
I dare you: try not listen again
I double dare you: try to forget this song
Although its impact will be greater to some than to others
The song IS persistent
And its existence is nothing short of,
pure

this was a homework assignment of comparing ourselves to an inanimate object... i compared myself to a song
