The Song Story assignment was to take a song that had a significant meaning to you and tell a story with the memories of that song. The assignment worth 3 stars.

I chose R. Kelly “If I could turn back the hands of time”, my memory is the death and funeral of my cousin when I was around 7 or 8 years old. It was a tough time, but I hold on to the good memories of him more than anything.

I haven’t yet mastered Audacity, so I used my Soundcloud and Youtube and recorded my narration while Youtube played in the back. I kinda wanted to use the Youtube, because the story line is heard through the video with the phone ringing and the rain, so I’m happy I used Youtube.

_cokwr: My memories fade over time, but sometimes there is a song that can take me back to a place that revives the memories of my past. The song allows me to remember things I thought I had forgotten. So, for an assignment, pick a song that does that for you, and tell some stories about what you remember. An example for me would be to pick a song off of the Journey "Escape" album, and talk about the summer job I had cutting the grass for my high school the summer before my senior year. The smells, the grease, the noise, the sunburn, the boredom, the friends. In the assignment you might want to mix your voice over parts of the song, give an intro, tell the story first and play the song, break up the song with the story - lots of options. But nothing too long - my attention span is short. These would be great to post on ds106 radio., _cpzh4: Audio, _chk2m: Jerry, _ciyn3: 75, _ckd7g: , _clrrx: , _cztg3:
