"Inspiration Information" by Shuggie Otis (1974)

1. The feeling is one of calmness and serenity. It is smooth.
2. The keyboard and guitar put off this vibe because their sounds are mellow. The singing is nice and low, and there is a slower tempo.
3. The musician had the choice to make the beat fast or slow; he also had the choice of what instruments to use, AND how to use them. His choices worked; for example, if the beat were faster, the song wouldnt be as calm. Also the noise levels worked too, as the singing and drums were softer than the keyboard and guitar, which were louder, focusing on the instrumentation and not so much the lyrics.
