A Good Time Theme

The tone reinforces the message that helping others with their well-being in mind is the most important thing in life. Lyrically, this song has an optimistic tone despite the narrator encountering traces of hopelessness in the daily news. This is most evident in the chorus. The speaker decides to keep a positive outlook while riding an escalator, meaning they are moving forward and upward, both of which are used to describe rising above negativity to something that is greater, or better. Similarly, in verse three, it states “I will survive, divine the time to cry”.

“Back to the future Part 2” is directed by Robert Zemeckis and was released in November 1989.

“Hope when you take that jump, you don’t fear the fall. Hope when the water rises, you built a wall.” An important message prevails in both A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah (2013) and “I Lived” by OneRepublic (2007), taking risks without hesitation, being ready for all that comes. This song represents living life to the fullest, no matter situation, life goes on, never coming again. This would be an ideal song for someone in Ishmael’s obstructed position. “With every broken bone, I swear I lived.” “I Lived” by OneRepublic reassures people struggling to remember the gravity of living life to the fullest; reminding us to take chances and accept our legitimate identities, or a song of survival for people like Ishmael. People need to stop taking pity on themselves, there is always a bright side; life never forsakes us. Be strong and jubilant. No one lives forever, to truly

He is very active in the song and it seems that his whole life, or at least the parts he recollects, revolve around being active. He turns their aging into a bonding experience and makes it a very fundamental part of their relationship. He turns the inevitable, which is death and aging, into an action that has helped him and his partner grow closer together and love each other more over time. He quickly realized that no matter how hard he tries that they are going to age, and he does not let that change what his life has been about. Instead he tells his lover that even after their death that they will be together.

The ribbons symbolize the people that are still at war or have died; this derived from the practice by families of putting up yellow ribbons on their doors until their relative has returned home from war. The lines in the song prior to this talk about bringing one’s neighbors home so that none of them would ever miss a holiday with their families; these lyrics convey the feelings of pain and worry that conflicts and similar issues have caused many people. Additionally, this entire song is a representation of irony as the surface meaning is saying that his generation is making excuses for why they are not able to stand up for the things that they want changed; they are waiting on someone else to change the world. However, the intended meaning for the song is rather to reflect on this premise and be different than the majority of people. These different uses of literary devices throughout the song add meaning to the theme and are effective in using the lyrics to make an emotional connection with various issues for an audience to sympathize and relate

Aguilera song is not really about being sad or depression. Her music video and effective use of ethos, pathos, and logo are to help us realize the importance of people around us, especially family. What happens if one day the people we love mot go away? You might live your life thinking about a way that you could had done something more for them. Main thing about the song is that you should cherish every moment you have with your family. Without them, you would not be who you are today. Family is the best and most precious gift in our lives, and it is important to embrace it every

“In order for your life to be great, you must first learn to appreciate it.” This is what Keith Urban’s song “ Gone tomorrow, Here Today ” is about. I realized the true meaning of this at my first concert that I attended with my grandparents and my sister. Life is all about accepting what is gone, and making the best out of what you have left. During this concert, I felt a connection with Keith Urban, and I realized that I needed to spend every possible moment with my family, because one day I could blink and it would all be gone.

The song is about being hopeless and unable to make a bad situation into something good. The song stated, “One day our generation is gonna rule the population.” They feel like the generation is

This song isn’t about revolution like Glory, but about peace as well. This song is about all the things Jennings would do or say if he could go back in time and change the way he was. One line that stands out is, “And tell my kids, that they will be especially missed And if there’s anything that they should learn from this Is life is choice tomorrow’s not promised.” This line is so meaningful to the way people act. It’s saying that you never know what is going to happen tomorrow, so you shouldn’t do things you’ll regret today. In today’s society, unfortunately, we are so ‘me’ based. We all feel we are entitled to something. It’s always ‘me first’ for everything. Jennings was trying to tell us that one day, when we face our death, we will regret the bad things we said or did in the past. So live now like tomorrow won’t come with no regrets. This is a today’s song that also isn’t pointless or say anything bad about or society. It is an important life lesson that everyone should learn and he says it so

“Sing” is one of many songs that have had an impact on my life and one that stands out for me among them. The message of the song is easily recognized, it tells us to be brave and stand up for what we believe in. The lyrics of this song reminds us that we have control over our fates and destinies. It gave me the courage to remember who I am and to be unapologetic for it. I am reminded while hearing this song that there is nothing wrong with who I am and I should get to be as loud as I want. “Sing” reminds us that we each have the power to save the world through our individual voices.

Lastly this song also reflects to pop culture in general. In this society, nobody seems to like it when other people succeed, but instead enjoy it when people. People gain pleasure off of other people’s failure that it discourages many people to go for their dreams and many potential talents would go to waste as stated in the first verse: “You'll promise that you'll pay for the things you can. You want the whole world but its burning in your hands. You're asking for help no one hears you understand. Tt's a crowd full of friendship can never go fam. They love you then but they don't love you now. Your whole life seems to be crashing down. You never feel safe when there's no around. So if you feel like giving up you gotta STAND YOUR GROUND!” and in the second verse: “People will always try to bring you down it's a part of life” In addition to that he gives advice on not giving into the crowd and just be yourself and work hard as stated in the first verse: “No one else can ever tell it you otherwise. So stop trying to be just like them other guys. Fake the haters who living to see you failing life,

Furthermore, I will use three secondary sources in this paragraph to further elaborate the interpretation of this songs. I will begin first with the commentary by the actual artist. The singer of this song is Oli Sykes. Oli Sykes is the lead singer of the band called, Bring Me the Horizon. According from the site "songfacts", Oli wrote these lyrics as a tribute to his wife Hannah. Oli speaks about going through a rough time with his wife. Oli says that the outcome was not looking so great. He claims this situation was a realization for him. Oli states, "no matter how bad being together can sometimes get, the alternative is so much worse". What Oli is saying is that no matter the obstacle they face together, it could always be much worse if they did not have each other. When someone is accustomed to having someone else 's support through hardships, it is natural to feel worse when that person is no longer there to help. Therefore, losing someone significant can only make the trials of life more difficult. He goes on to state that this is a "beautiful realizations that can only come from something really ugly". In other words, trials and tribulations in a relationship are normal and appreciation derives from this. I truly believe that people appreciate and value the smallest things when horrible tragedies strike. The online book, Interpreting Music by Lawrence Kramer is book which helps better understand why people interpret music differently. After these studies, it is clear

Eventually humans must face death at some point in life. This universal experience reminds us of our own morality by the death of others. Why does love and death change within different situations and experiences? ‘Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night’ is a poem written by Dylan Thomas which primarily concentrates with death as its main theme, whereas ‘Remember’ written by Christina Rossetti and ‘Mother In A Refugee Camp’ by Chinua Achebe focusing more on love and death. Poems related to this theme are ‘Mad Girl’s Love Song’ by Silvia Plath, ‘A Picture Of You’ by Deborah Robinson and ‘Sonnet 116’ by William Shakespeare.

Michael Cunningham’s “The Hours” tells the story of three women, each from different eras of society, yet connected through the internal conflicts which they face. Laura Brown, one of the novel’s three protagonists, lives the white middle-class American dream. However, throughout the novel her mental health begins to deteriorate due to the oppressive lifestyle which she feels society has forced upon her. The Virginia Woolf portrayed by Cunningham, was in fact historically accurate to the original Virginia Woolf. Wolf struggled with mental illness throughout her lifetime and the idea of breaking the mold of traditional women’s roles. Unlike Laura Brown and Virginia Woolf, Clarissa Vaughn enjoys all of the freedoms which the late twentieth century allows, but is still left questioning if her life of a conventional wife and mother is lacking something. Character, to some extent is determined by destiny, however, when society places limitations on an individual's free will, it will always create a desire to break away from the mold.

“Everyday is a new day, and you’ll never be able to find happiness if we don’t move on.” First, Carrie underwood wants others to live everyday as if it's the last thing we will ever do. What she is trying to say is that we can’t live in sorrow and in grief because of something painful. Instead, move on from the pain that has been caused and be happy for the way life is. “ We have to hurt in order to know, fall in order to grow, lose in order to gain. Because most of life’s lessons are learned in pain.” Next, Carrie underwood is saying that in order to do the things we love we have to fall down and make mistakes because those are the things in life that help us achieve our goals. “People these days gain attention by losing respect.” Finally, Carrie Underwood is saying by getting attention and not the good kind, we earn that attention because we have lost our respect, others respect and most importantly, the maturity that we have. We should do the things we love but also be
