META MEAT:
It would have been very useful to have access to the master copy of this song and be able to listen to individual parts and the whole. Did I make Composer bigger than Snookered? Perhaps, but I think that's because he is "Snookered". If the medium he uses is an extension of himself and his songs and extension of feeling, then I think that highlighting that is okay. I believe that these terms we use to analyze can bleed and blend within each other... like we talked about in class, nothing is "Pure". Even though the analysis was to be done on "Snookered" I wanted to include the performance video because his performances encompass so many mediums and I think that is what attracts so many to his shows.
I think this piece is significant because it is a self reflection and I think that listeners can pick up on the genuine and heartfelt melodies layered in the piece. I think that the lyrics looping through out confirm that this piece is the anthem of the album and will make the album a cohesive addition to his existing body of work. I think Dan Deacon's work is mostly significant because it allows the listener to be actively involved instead of passively listening at a show. He invites us in to participate and be apart of his electro world.
