I definitely felt that the Pleasure Aim was a lot easier to find songs about, majority songs are about pleasure. I just feel that most people write songs about there pleasures and it makes it a lot easier to express your feelings. I was very surprised on how hard it was to find songs on community service, I hope that I got the right songs for Duty and Community Service. I really enjoyed finding songs and listening to them and hearing what they had to say. For the Pleasure and Duty Aims, I felt that they differed from American pop music, because American pop does not seek out pleasure intelligently and it is very ruthless in getting what you want and not being respectful.
I agree that most people write songs about their pleasure. It makes it easiest for fans to connect to their music, because everyone has experienced pleasure/happiness.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the pleasure aim was the easier of the two to find songs about. I had an opposite experience with community service songs though - it was much easier than i thought it would be!
ReplyDeleteAmerican pop music definitely does not tend to encourage seeking pleasure intelligently. For example - many rappers often talk about breaking the law to get pleasure.
I definitely agree with pleasure being the easier of the two, and you displayed some good examples of pleasure songs. I especially like sex on fire by kings of leon. I think that absolutely is the core of pleasure. I also like you're variability between modern and older songs!
