MADONNA, DYLAN AND WATER, HAVE THEIR MUSIC SOMETHING IN COMMON?

After hear Madonna’s songs, we can realize how different are them in relation with the first two singers as Madonna is an artist who have developed her career since 70s. However, despite the time is different, they have some similarities. Both Dylan and Water tried to reflect in their songs what had been happening by those times. Similar, Madonna does the same, but she has been doing in her time. Consequently, we can say in a detailed way that they are artist that sing different kind of songs, but they are reflected the same, just a singing reality.

Blues as an answer of African-Americans’ feelings

Because by the time when the blues was born, the African-American people had been crossing very bad times for them, so most of the songs that they used to sing meant sad moments. Looking in a deep way into the sing’s letters, we can realized how the majority of the songs reflects sad stories, which not only was trying to show how a woman broke a man’s heart, but also what kind of repressed feelings he had. Even though when the songs doesn’t mention anything about the problems in that time, all of them induce us that it wasn’t a good times.

Saying that to be blue or to have blues means to be sad is a wrong idea since the color blue means tranquilly, serenity, etc. Being more specifics, imagine a blue landscape in the huge sky. Aren’t you going to feel calm or maybe relaxed?. In the other hand, everything depend of the context that we are talking about as people could  make it looks sad.

A few about me!!

My name is Ivan Lopez, and I am 21. I am from Colombia, but I have been living in USA from august of 2008. My frist object in USA is learn english as well as be possible becouse it is a request to get my university diploma, and also i like it. Besides study english i spend my time knowing new important and historic places in Boston, place where I am living for a while. Moreover, I have tried to have a fun time with my temporal english classmates who usually are from Asian countries and Colombia too.

I hope to get a good english skills as soon as be possible since I want to apply to an american university to do a master after finishing my undergradute studies in Colombia. although I know it is not going to be easy, I will do my best effort to achive this goals.

There are some funny stories that I have lived since I have been in Boston. Mainly at the begining was so funny becouse I did not know almost nothing as an english speaker, so I had a lot of shameful times trying to get a conversation with someone. Also when I was getting talks with chinese people was hard, but at the same time it was funny as they and me were learning at the same time. As a result our converstion time was not interesting; it just was a basic talks.

Finally, I can say that my english is really better than when I just arrived, but I hope it will be much better after finish this season studying the ESL course in UMASS Boston again.
