Music & Me

 Hey Guys, My name is Devron Davis but everyone just calls me Von. Im a sophomore here at converse and Im on the track and field team. Ive only been running track since my senior year of highschool so im still relatively knew about the sport but Im still excited to see what it has in store for me and my career. I grew up in a small town 30 minutes away from Florence , called Dillon S.C. . i lived there all the way up until my 6th grade year then i moved to Columbia S.C. , and ive been there ever since. And a fun fact about me is im an animal lover some would say. well a mammal lover. i have 2 dogs and 2 cats at home in Columbia. 



1. an example of something i like right now

an example of something i like is Jupiters Diary by Rod Wave its probably my favorite song of his if im being honest and there's alot of them since he's my favorite artist. i like this song because it's very calming to me and the instrumental and sample goes together very well to me. it's just one of those songs were i heard it and feel in love instantly. 



2.  a example of music thats meaningful to me 

a piece of music that is meaningful to me is Cant Sleep also by Rod Wave. this piece is meaningful to me because , when i played basketball before i started running track i got hurt and i really didn't have any motivation to play sports anymore. and a came across this song and the message i got from it motivated me to just keep going and keep pursuing my dreams, and not to rest until that goal is completed. This song along with some other motivational songs of his really got me out of a dark space that i was in . 




3.  music that i just cant connect too

Some music that i can't really connect to has to be music from an Artist by the name of Yeat. i really don't understand the hype around him and why people like him so much. Only positive things i can personally say about him is he has some very unique beats and sounds that he puts in his music, but besides that he gets a no from me every time. 




4. other music that i would like to share 
another type of music i really like is music from an artist named J. Cole, but the older J. Cole when he first started. mainly because this the music my big brother would always play as i was growing up around him and it kind of stuck with me once i got older. My favorite song by his has to be Lost Ones. its a very good song that if you really listens too it tells you a story and isn't him just rhyming words together to sound good.

Music & Ritual

  Song 1: Forever my Lady by Jodeci                           Song 2: All my life by K-Ci and JoJo In my Culture, at weddings these are the 2 most common songs there is. Forever my lady by jodeci and all my life by K-Ci and JoJo. And I honestly can see why these songs are so common at weddings, these 2 songs are great old schooled R&B love songs with a very deep message directed to their intended lover. Both songs are songs that are on the slower side of songs so these songs would either be playing low while the bride and groom said there wedding vows or they could be used at the after party were the newly wedded would have a slow dance with each other. The song forever my lady   A wonderful declaration of love, the heartfelt song has the singer professing his love for the person he is in love with and vowing to always adore and care for her. Due to its powerful emotional resonance and the singer's genui...
