Please download and open this Word doc containing the options for your PsychicCity Procedures and Findings: PsychicCity MENU by the week Berlin 2016; remember, you will post the results every Thursday by 10 pm. Your options for tomorrow: “The Legible Erlebnis” or “‘Degenerate’ Art”. Next week: “Listening to Berlin” or “Alarms and Incursions.” The week after that: “Gedächtnis” or “Fragen und Antworten.” Finally, unless we get a second late-but-worthy contribution, week 5 will be “Willst du mit mir Musik hören?” below!
Week 5 Thursday: 5. Mai So far, one option: “Willst du mit mir Musik Hören?”
WILLST DU MIT MIR MUSIK HöREN? Kristin Petroske.
Dearest Klassenkameraden, my PsychicCity is simple. I would like you to pick a German song YOU DON’T ALREADY KNOW and write about it. It must be in German.
I would like you to pay special attention to the song and after the first listen I would like you to write down what kind of feeling the song left you with: were you happy? Sad? Anxious? Eh? Confused? Don’t try to understand it just yet.
The second time you listen to it I would like you to try and understand what the song is about. Does that match the emotion you had when you first listened to the song? Write that down (it doesn’t matter if you’re right or not).
When all that is said and done, I’d like you to go look up the lyrics. How do the lyrics of the song match up with what you felt and think the song was about? Do you like the lyrics or do you think you were better off not understanding?
Post your findings and songs! Share the music!
