Week 6

For the sixth week in this class, I chose to write about the song Mystery Train by Elvis Presley for my blog. It is one of the many songs by Elvis Presley that became very popular. Elvis is probably the most well-known music artist ever and him and his songs will be remembered forever. This song is very catchy and upbeat. It is a song that I could very easily see in an old movie playing during a road trip montage of two people driving across the country in their car.
I am not entirely sure what it is about, but from what I can tell it is about someone who let someone they loved go and they rode off in a train, and how they are not going to let that happen again because "she's mine all mine".
The song is very repetitive. It really only has about four to five lines or so that are just constantly repeated over and over again throughout the song. I guess it goes to show how popular Elvis actually was because this song didn't have a lot to say, I pretty much could explain it in one sentence but it still takes a 2 and half minute song for Elvis.

  1. You have some good points and i agree with them. i am not sure if remember this right or not but wasn't this a cover of a song? either way it was a good song and not a bad listen at all. yeah i agree wasn't to much in lyrics for this song but i don't think that's a bad thing keeping it simple. well good job on your blog.
