Chapter 10, Primary Reading: “George Cohan, Over There, 1917” (pg.389)
1. Upon listening to the first few seconds of the song, my initial opinion of the song's tone was that it sounded very patriotic. It had a fast beat, with many musical instruments incorporated into it. When paired with the lyrics, this song puts listeners into a light-hearted mood. In addition to this, after pairing the lyrics with the beat of the song, I came to the conclusion that the overall goal of the song is to instill patriotic emotions into listeners (specifically young American boys). I feel as though the musical sound provokes one to get excited about the war. With the positive vibe of the music, one can find solace in the uplifting sounds George Cohen cultivated
