Music Review

For me, music is my favorite source of entertainment. I could sit and listen to music all day long is I was able to. I think that is why I like to travel so much, because the radio is always there. For this art review, I was required to choose a piece of music to discuss. I enjoy listening to all genres of music, but my absolute preference would have to be country. I like listening to the happy and the sad aspects of country music. Sometimes I can be listening to a song and just break out in tears or that song will take to back to a specific memory.
I decided on a love song for this review. Just like many other women, I am a sucker for a good love song. The song I chose is by Travis Tritt and it is titled, "Drift Off to Dream." This song means a lot to me personally, and I believe that is why I decided on using this song. Travis Tritt is considered an older performer, mainly because he hasn't released much in the last few years, but I love his classic stuff, especially his slow, sad ones.
This particular song is about a man who is searching for that special one. It starts out with him sitting by himself at a bar wondering if and when he might find his soul mate. I can tell that he is really wanting to find her, although he might appear to just be hanging out with buddies having a good time until she just shows up. The chorus is my favorite part of this song, because I can picture the perfect couple going through the motions and falling in love forever. The chorus talks about and evening when they are together just laying beneath the stars. The last line of the chorus is"Til you drift off to dream in my arms." This line is awesome, because who doesn't want to drift off to dream in the arms of the person who loves you. I know I love it.
The next verse goes back to him talking about how long it might take for him to find her and what will happen when they meet. He says that no matter when or where that she will hear this love song, which is what he refers to as the chorus. Chorus comes again and the last line of the entire song is "Til you drift off to dream in my arms."
I love this song, because although you know that he isn't in love at the time, he truly wants to be and has this perfect image of what their love will be. I know love isn't always perfect, but I can't help but want to go through an evening like the chorus of this song every night with the person I love.
