The Three of Us

I agree with your interpretation of the song, but what musical topics that were covered in the reading are most evident here, because you didn't really talk about that? What do you consider the foreground or background? There are points where both the vocals and the instrumental parts are fast changing and interesting, so there is an argument for both. What do you think?

Oh yeah I don't think I was very clear. I don't think you can classify either the vocals or the band as strictly foreground or background because they are constantly trading off. I think that it makes the music a lot more interesting that way because you aren't just hearing the same voice (not in a vocal sense, in a more general sense, including instruments) for an extended period of time can get kind of boring.

One thing that I noticed was that the rhythm that the voice started set us up for the same rhythm to be played by the instruments- they echoed off of one another. With all of the "jumping around" that was going on in the song, this really helped it flow better and didnt create too much dissonance.
