Day 27: A song from the 2020s

Second generation blues artist (her father was the brilliant guitarist Johnny Copeland) Shemekia Copeland has had a long, powerful career. And unlike many modern blues artists, she is not afraid to get bluntly political. But even with Grammy nominations last year, she is still mostly overlooked. And how the fuck can you overlook that voice?

"Tough Mother," Shemekia Copeland (2024)

(+1 for WoC, for 7 total)

Day 27: A song from the 20s

Tanya Tagaq is a badass Canadian Inuk throat singer (and songwriter, novelist, actor, and visual artist). Her art exposes hard truths about systemic racism in governments, missing and murdered Indigenous women. She proudly supports Indigenous land rights and the practices and preservation of her culture, such as seal hunting.

In Me - Tanya Tagaq

Day 28: A song that uses an unconventional time signature

I don’t know a lot about the technicalities of music but I know this song has shifting time signatures. I think like 5 of them?

The Beatles - Happiness Is a Warm Gun

Day 28: A song that uses an unconventional time signature

I'm not going to pretend I didn't Google a couple of songs I thought might be to confirm, and a few of my suspicions were correct, I was going to go with my first thought, but @morelikeasong beat me to it!

So, second choice and an all time fave of mine.

The Beatles - Happiness Is a Warm Gun

This was my first choice. Such a great song. And yes, at least five. Maybe six. Might have been the LSD.

Day 28: A song that uses an unconventional time signature

Pyramid Song - Radio Head

This song was referenced in the discussion of the first episode of Severance and I really liked it. I remembered the first comment on the YouTube video and sure enough, it fits the theme

The comment -

“each bar of this song has two dotted quavers, a crotchet, and two more dotted quavers. if you think about this in 16ths per bar, this equated to the notes equaling 3, 3, 4, 3, 3. a pyramid has four triangles and one square that make up the shape. this rhythm LITERALLY makes this song a pyramid i looooooove it i looooove radiohead”

Thanks for another great decades week!
If you posted a song by a woman of color for all 7 days, you earned a second song pass! This is good for one use, expiring at the start of April’s decades week.
