Fast Car-Tracy Chapman

OBJECTIVE OBSERVATIONS - 
  • What is the time signature?
The time signature is 4/4.
  • What is the tempo?
It is upbeat, but not super fast. It is a nice relaxing jam and gets a bit faster. 
  • Does it sound mainly major or minor?
It is major.
  • Does it sound composed or improvised?
It is very repetitive and definitely composed. 

SUBJECTIVE OBSERVATIONS - 
  • What is the song’s purpose?
The purpose is to invoke memories and to give someone hope to have a dream. 
  • Does the song take you on a journey?
It reminds me of a story of regular old people thinking of hopes and dreams and a bigger life. 
  • What is the mood of the song? How does it make me feel?
The song is hopeful and passionate sounding. It makes me feel positive. 
  • Describe the tone of the singer(s) or main instrument(s)
There is drums, guitar, and piano as far as I can hear. The singer is relaxed and has a lot of control of his style. 

CONCLUSION -
Yes, I really like this song. It is relaxing and hopeful. I almost don't like the part that picks up and gets a little louder. If it stayed relaxed the whole song I would like that a lot.
