This weeks song choices were very different and more sensual and flowing. The Appalachian songs of last week was filled with a story, many murder and death stories, that i found minimal morals from. I found it to be more of a told story.
This week I found the songs to have more open ended context and morals you can find in them.
I felt this quotation embodied a lot of how i felt the difference between american and Appalachian song were to me
I focused on down by the sally gardens for this weeks piece and found that have less lyrics made me read into each word and line more. To me it felt real, like he made a more abstract song about a story he truly lived. Then was Sally Gardens the name of of a real place? or the name of the love the writer was speaking about?
the line that i couldn't get a grasp of was
"little snow white feet", i think it added a great visual to the song and brought the mental imagination alive. Then came my favorite lines, "she bid me take life easy" .... "but I, being young and foolish, with her did not agree"
with this comes a fault i find i do myself sometimes. A sort of 'all or nothing' way about approaching things, and in life that is not always correct. life can be a day by day process and that needs to me taken step by step.
The second stanza was the aftermath of take love on too quickly and the women places her snow white hands on his shoulder leaving him "full of tears"
