This is a parody of Drag Me Down by One Direction. To write this parody, I took inspiration from the shock of how much more difficult the workload is junior year compared to sophomore year. To create this parody I learned how to use Adobe Audition and operate recording hardware. I developed a new skill set learning Adobe Audition.
The focus of my piece is the experience of procrastinating on an assignment and waiting until the last minute to do all the work, then regretting it. Many nights I've stayed up late working on an assignment.
While doing this project, I gained a better understanding of creating music. I had never written a song or recorded myself singing, so this was a very new thing for me. Singing is not something I’m used to doing, except around my friends. This project where I record myself singing and anyone can listen to it, was a challenge in terms of confidence, but I am proud of myself for doing it anyway. I felt a little nervous at first, but now I am glad that I went out of my comfort zone and did this project. Now I have the skills to use this software on future projects. My lack of knowledge on editing music will no longer hold me back now that I have done this project.
