Amanda Krysinski has produced a charming piece here. As a 51-year-old devotee of music from the 60s and 70s, (when you could understand the lyrics and hum the melodies,) I was convinced. Now I can see why it might NOT be preferable to listen to melodic music with lyrics you can understand (and want to write in the margins of your paper) while you are studying. And I see why heavy-metal music might actually be BETTER background music!!

My only criticism, a small one, is that there are a couple of spots where Amanda's enunciation was not clear enough -- or perhaps too fast -- leaving me unsure of a word or two.

If I were listening to the radio and this piece came on, I know I would smile to myself. Also, my nearly 13-year-old's mother now has a new outlook on his choice of music to study to!
