"What a Wonderful World"

During my last elementary school music concert, my fifth grade class sang a song that has left an impact on my life. The song we performed was What a Wonderful World sang by Louis Armstrong. As we sang the song I looked out in the audience and saw the faces of crying parents. At that point it hit me that that was my last performance in elementary school and that the next year I would be entering a whole new school, I was growing up. Junior High was a big jump for me, it was a big change. I made all new friends and learned how to be more independent. I barely talk to my friends from fifth grade but I will always remember the song What a Wonderful World. Although the song is 43 years old, I believe that it targets people of all ages. The genre of the song could be classified as jazz. I believe that the song has many purposes. The song is cheery, entertaining, and influential. What a Wonderful World has been played in multiple movies including: Madeline, Freaky Friday, What a Girl Wants, and Son of the Mask. It can be heard on television, on the radio, and even on the internet. The stance of the song is about how the world is wonderful and how every little thing is beautiful." This song is very inspiring when I'm upset, it brings me up when I'm down. And I think to myself...What a wonderful world."
