Album Review

The album that I chose to listen to was Saint Heron. I would rate this album a 2/5. The music was good but just not good enough. I didn't like the lyrics but the beat of the songs were pretty good especially in Bank Head by Kingdom. This is an album I wouldn't find myself listening to everyday, but probably when I'm about to go to sleep.

Apply & Interepret

Phil Collins used his lyrics to describe how he is feeling and it brings out the mood of the song, that it is depressing. The song is about his divorce with his first wife Andrea, but a lot of people has had their own interpretations where they came up with a myth that he saw someone watch his friend drown and that person didn't bother to help. That's a dumb myth though because I'm pretty sure he woud've reported it to the police and that everyone would know who his friend is. His lyrics were easily misunderstood because of how he worded it. It's really descriptive because it talks about drowning.
