Throughout the entire night, I woke up with feverish bursts time and time again. I dreamt of death. My mother and father’s bony skulls were glinting at me through the blackness.

And then the sound of gunshots exploding in the air as raiders crowded into our room. Their skin was imprinted with skull and dagger tattoos I watched them cock a gun at my family’s…

Stevie Wonder’s song Sir Duke sounds like it uses the ABBA form. I also hear what sounds lik a wall of sound, multiple instruments in each measure of music. I think the style of music originates from the Motown style. My first impression of Beck’s Blue Moon is that it sounds like the beach boys. Although the lyrics are not about surfing, the musical style sounds like the Beach Boys. It has the distinctive background vocals of the surf music, it sounds like the later music of the Beach Boys…

I frantically look over my shoulder to see my uncle and Heather, holding video cameras and smiling wide with anticipation. He says something I don’t quite catch through the sound of heavy rain; people chattering amongst each other; and of course my own nervous thoughts. I can't help but focus on how the equipment digs into me and how sweaty my hands…

The floor of the prisoners’ dock creaked as it plummeted underground. After ten minutes, it crawled up, groaning as if under the strain of enormous weight. The spectators in the gallery gasped as the disheveled heads of the six defiant prisoners emerged. The prisoners looked as if they had been in a ferocious scrimmage. Despite the shackles on their wrists and ankles, they stood, with overweening pride and nabob-like airs, albeit spattered with seabird droppings. Even though they wore…

His music gave the effect of being in a trance according to my relatives whom listened to Hendrix in that time. Jimi was aware of what his music did to his fans and artist.
