Viderunt Omnes and Sure Don't Feel Like Love
Viderunt Omnes and Sure Don't Feel Like Love are very different in terms of their lyrics. Viderunt Omnes is a plain chant, meaning mostly all of the notes sung are the same, it's in Latin, and the lyrics are about God. The music is written in neumes, which is basically just symbols that show the singers what pitches to sing. Sure Don't Feel Like Love sounds like an alternative song to me, and it has some very confusing lyrics. The song starts off by saying he registered to vote, and from there the lyrics just get more and more confusing. The similarity between the two is that they are both singing, but in very different ways. This shows how music has come along from being strictly about God to not even having to make sense.
