While listening to this song by Otis Redding, I really enjoyed the melody and the sound effects that they added into the background. I had the lyrics of this song open while listening, and the lyrics seemed to match with the story of the song. When he talks about sitting on the dock of the bay and watching the tides roll away, you can hear the sounds of the waves in the background. Using this sound effect, it helps the listeners to feel as though they are basking in the sun alongside Otis Redding. In his lyrics, when he talks about sitting on a dock and looking into the sunset, it seems like he is reflecting on his life. Looking into the waves, he sits there not wanting to go through change and he states it when he says “Looks like nothing’s gonna change everything still remains the same I can’t do what ten people tell me to do.”
