Song analysis 1 - "Wagon WHEEL" by Old Crow Medicine Show
The intro comes in strictly instrumental until (0:25), where the vocals are introduced for the first verse. This is met by a second, slightly altered verse (0:52), which string together right into the chorus with a small pre-chorus. The chorus continues the same rhythm, and it makes the listener feel relaxed, in a swing mood. There is a ten second instrumental gap, which leads to the second set of versus (1:33). This set connects to a short pre-chorus that leads to our chorus once again (2:22). The chorus is connected by another instrumental gap to the third set of versus (2:50), which lead us into the final section of chorus (3:16), met at the end with a short outro. The outro (3:30) contains different lyrics from the rest of the typical chorus' heard previously in the song for a nice conclusion.

Artist Profile - Miles davis
Miles Dewey Davis, originally from St Louis, holds his spot in musical history as a virtuoso. Davis picked up trumpet as an adolescent, eventually earning acceptance at Juilliard School of Music in Manhattan. Miles learned to play jazz by sitting in with big bands of older jazz virtuosos like Charlie Parker and Dizzie Gillespie. In 1959 Miles released “Kind of Blue”: the most sold jazz record of all time. Young Miles was best known for his ability to be cool music wise, fashion wise, and in his demeanor. He is most well known for changing the course of jazz music 5 times.

One of the many things I admire about Miles Davis’ work is his intention and directness with every single chord. There is a purpose for the harmony he creates. The intellectualness in every work of his is obvious while listening. As I sit and listen to his piece, I escape to another world. I then seem to forget all of life’s negativities and instead focus on the message being translated. I only think good thoughts while listening to his work. “Freddie Freeloader” connects to me by the use of his delicateness, but at the same time, his directness. Nobody will ever be able to replicate his work. For we are still to this day trying to understand how Miles did what he did. I tend to imagine myself in a garden that I have never seen before as I soak in his harmonic melodies and realize the greater positives of life.

I can connect to Miles Davis when I feel his dedication and passion in every one of his pieces that I listen to. This reminds me of the passions of my own that I dedicate myself to everyday, just like he put into his music. After discovering this genra of music and then discovering Miles Davis, I felt my cares or fears melt away, stripping my emotions down to the core of what really made me happy. His music reminds me to take time for myself, and to enjoy life. The harmonies I hear, especially in his piece "Freddie Freeloader" allow me to have my ten minutes of mindfulness every day, and remind me that life is beautiful, and it is even more beautiful with music in it.

After listening to Miles Davis' work, its obvious he is able to create a relaxing piece. The harmony he creates, and sounds he puts together mix well in the piece. Davis lets to let the listener feel something when listening to his music. I enjoy his music, because it makes me feel peaceful. His jazz pieces remind me of spending time with my grandparents growing up. While it most likely wasnt Miles Davis, the same chords and beats are used. Miles was an extremely popular artist in the 20th century.
