"In the Mood" by Glenn Miller 

What surprised me about this song is that when I first listened to it I immediately knew that I have heard it before. With the songs that we have listened to up until now I had never really heard any of them before. I immediately made a connection with this song because it reminded me of the movies that I would watch when I was a kid. I'm pretty sure this song is in the Parent Trap and others at some point, or that is what it reminded me of. This connection will help me remember it for the next Exam. I like all of the instruments that are used, the trumpets and saxophones that are mainly used. I especially like how the beginning sounds. That is my favorite part of this song. Songs that don't have lyrics are harder for me to listen to, that is the only thing that I don't like about it. I'm not really sure of the exact meaning of this song but the Title “In the Mood” is a risky title but the sounds sounds very innocent. This song is very easy to listen to and all throughout it repeats itself the right amount of times and also adds contrast all throughout which doesn’t allow you to get bored when you listen to the whole thing.
