3). Both of these songs are very well written and are performed by the same band, however they sound completely different when played one after another. This is because these songs both have a different tempo, and mood. At the same time, both songs have the same instrumentation, Song structure/organization, Emotional Architecture, and Balance. The main thing that makes these two songs different, is the that while they both have the same instrumentation, they use the same instruments a lot differently. This is one of the factors that I think makes a band very good, and able to write good songs that maintain the test of time. The main thing that makes these two songs similar, is that they are both recorded the same way and have the same Balance, while also having the same Song Structure/Organization. I feel like both of these songs are uplifting in different ways only because of the way that the instruments are used and how they are put together with things that contrast with each other. Also, the second song has very inspiring lyrics and has a more happier tone than the first one, because the first one is more of a story being told and an energetic, loud, in your face, intense song. This is also a big thing that makes these songs completely different while using the same instruments in both songs. Next, Song number One has a more aggressive melody over a more aggressive beat, which portrays a message that is kind of harsh and a little bit more intense. Song number Two, has a lot nicer and more catchy of a melody, which makes the song more easy to listen to as far as easy listening music goes, also, the beat that is underneath Song number Two, is a lot more relaxed, which makes it a more catchy and easy to listen to song, because of the similarities of a relaxed beat and relaxed melody. Finally, the Rhythm of both songs is completely different because one is more of a softer and relaxed song, while the other one is more of an angry, aggressive song. My opinion on what song is better is that Song number One is a better song, because it is more in your face and aggressive, and I like that a lot more than the other style which is fast paced and relaxed. However, I love both songs almost equally, but Song number One is just a little bit bigger.
