post three.

Today, in class, we listened to Buddy Holly. I agree with what the person said about not listening to Buddy Holly enough, so I'm going to talk about him a little more here. He's really a great musician and people don't give him enough credit for it, I think.
One of my favourite songs is "Everyday". I first heard it before I got into classic rock as much as I did, when watching the movie Stand By Me. No matter what mood I'm in, it puts a smile on my face.
The beat is so catchy and calming, honestly, it's a song I could probably fall asleep to, or a song I could listen to after something upsetting that has happened. And that's kind of what defines Buddy Holly's music for me in general. Most of it is calm and soothing to me. Just like this song, Words Of Love, which The Beatles also covered.


It's calming, mellow, and chill, in my opinion. Buddy Holly is a freaking genius and I don't think he's given enough credit for the great artist that he is. Gone too soon, yes, but he'll always be remembered.
