“Lean On Me” Song Review — Dom Bozhor
“Lean On Me” by Bill Withers is a blues song that came out in 1972. It is a thoughtful and supportive song that makes me feel comforted. It makes me think about my mom. Ms. Terri. She felt strong about helping kids. She was scared and doubtful about starting Momentum, but her fears were conquered by her positive thoughts. I wouldn’t be able to do what she does because I am not as patient as her. I like helping people, but sometimes I don’t. I give “Lean On Me” four stars because it’s a good song, but there are some parts I don’t like.
Lean On Me” Song Review — Dylan Ball
“Lean On Me” by Bill Withers is a blues song that came out in 1972. It is a thoughtful and supportive song that comforts me. It reminds me of the one time I was doing a wheelie on my bike and I fell back. I hit my head on a rock. There was a lot of blood and I was hurt and scared. My mom took me inside and then my dad calmed me down and comforted me. Then my parents took me to the emergency room and I got staples in my head. Looking back, I am grateful that I didn’t get brain damage and that I have my parents to lean on. I give “Lean On Me” four stars because it is a nice song, I like it.
Emily’s Song Review “Shake it Off”
“Shake It Off” by Taylor Swift is a pop song that came out in 2014. It is a great song that makes me want to dance and shake my body. I believe Taylor Swift is telling people not to listen to what other people say and to be yourself. This song reminds me of when my tutor, Breezy, told me to be kind to other people and respect their different personalities that make them who they are. I give “Shake It Off” four stars because it is repetitive and it gets stuck in my head every time I listen to it.

“Party in the U.S.A.” is by Miley Cyrus. The genre is pop. It came out on July 30, 2009. It is a happy and fun song. It makes me want to have a party because this is a party song.
