Critical Response #8

Greensleeves by tedmrpotato

Element of Music
  • Tempo: Mild Slow
  • Instrumentation : Guitar 
  • Genre: Folk Song
Summary
 I found it weird about this song title as Greensleeves. I had no idea what Greensleeves mean but I mostly think this is a song about love. When I first heard it from a movie called "The Tale of Despereaux" played by the King who's mourning for the loss of his Queen. It has a sad feeling in the song, that bring tears in my eyes as I watched the King playing the song. I love how this song gives off this sad feeling so easily and the softness of the love it shows along with the support of the slow tempo. This song reminds me of the loss of my 2nd aunt to a disease. My 2nd aunt always wear hairband, like this song telling about the greensleeves of the composer's lover.
