Listening Guide- adams songPreston • The beginning of the song is a solo guitar strumming the same three cords for seven seconds. The drums come in to sync with the guitar adding a fast pace beat building up to the opening of the song. Shortly after that, the solo singer comes in and the beat slows down and stays at a steady pace. The song is very deep and distraught adding a mellow tone to the song; the singer’s voice rises and falls throughout the first verse staying at the same consistent beat as song. • At forty-two seconds the drums stop and returns to the same three cord guitar solo. The drums come back in and the steady pace returns, leading up to the chorus. • When the chorus comes in it is very loud with heavy drums and multiple guitars all-playing together. The singer’s voice rises drastically almost to a yell shouting out the lyrics, which catches the audience’s attention immediately.
