Untitled Slide

• The song "rhiannon" is soft rock and is moderately slow. It is a very relaxing song to listen to and Stevie Nicks' is pretty much queen hippie of the 70's (and all time)

Rhiannon is a love song, this was common for soft rock songs especially in the 70's.

I love it. it's alternative and new but still classic in a way
both are soft, and alternative sounding. Both are about love. prominent piano
Foster the people's song has a lot more instruments that are computerized, but still uses acoustics.
It provides a new sound to something classic and timeless.
