An Album About Last Night-Personal Narrative

I remember him saying ‘Racquet back, turn sideways, step in when you hit the ball’ my dad said, I remembered those three fundamentals forever. Hi there, I'm Christine Marie Evert, most people know me as Chris Evert. When I was a child my 4 siblings helped me become who I am today and that's why I'm such a world wide known professional tennis player. But most of all it was my two parents, Jimmy and Colette, that made me who I am today. My parents also taught me how to raise kids of my own, which I had 3 children in fact. You're probably wondering how old I am, well right now I'm 63. I always loved Christmas and my birthday because I got a lot of presents because they were so close to each other as a matter of fact 13 days apart. I started

First, the song shows what love can actually do to you as a whole. It can make you feel like you lost a piece of yourself

My introduction to the work of Alex Turner came as a recommendation from a friend in High School. As a huge indie rock, music-enthusiast the chance to hear work that was unfamiliar always excited me. So immediately after school that afternoon, I downloaded the entire discography Alex Turner wrote and recorded with his band, The Arctic Monkeys, along with a solo album of his own. The themes discussed in those albums ranged from; heartbreak, experiencing night life, falling love, and the confusion and frustration of

In the fall of 2014, a close friend Kate introduced me to your music and at first I couldn't understand the meaning behind your words, the masks, and your complex ways of thinking, but as time went on I began to accept that almost no one can. There's a sort of mystery to what each lyric really means,

Sitting with my laptop in the front room of my house, I nervously wait for one of my church youth leaders to arrive. Family pictures smile from the wall above the dusty piano and colorful patterns burst from pillows thrown haphazardly on the old, brown couch. At last, I hear a knock at the door and rush to open it, revealing a woman standing at the door. Seeing her cheerful smile, I begin to relax. What was I so worried about? This is Emily Wilson, an amazing, wonderful woman. I lead her over to sit on the couch, taking my place across from her. Despite her apology for being so “gross” in her purple tank top and black workout leggings, she has an aura of confidence and cheerfulness that leaves no room for my own nerves.

The only thing that took my interest that night was my train of thought. Horrid, unsettling thoughts that held my self-control and fed on it, seeming as though it enjoyed the pain I experienced. They didn’t stop, never took a break, echoing voices and small dancing memories that cause you to shutter. They were indescribable as well, something others wouldn’t understand. Of course, I knew this for a fact, the band had proven it. I knew that they noticed my struggles, but they never attempted to look further into it. Just, “another one of my phases.”

This song portrays her early mental weakness or low self-esteem given that she appeared to be, “scared to rock the boat and make a mess. So I sit quietly, agree politely. I let you push me past the breaking point. I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything” (AZLyrics, 2013). This is in view of the fact that she was able to gradually convert into a leader fighting with the eye of the tiger that is, “louder than a lion cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar” (AZLyrics, 2013). This maturity targets bravery to grow from their insecurity which pushes a constructive message of strength to everyone. In brief, the role of emotion in her music will, therefore, continue to brings to mind considerable positivity from a psychological

Tall spires stood black against the western sky like fingers reaching upward to caress the golden clouds, poised round the fading, crimson halo of the now-reposing sun like angels at the birthplace of the Christ. "Old Red Cloud's right," he said beneath his breath. "The Black Hills do go right up to the sky."

The instrumental of the song is haunting and gorgeous - there’s just enough bite to keep things moving, but that sensitive side is always peeking through. Ty Dolla $ign makes a wonderful cameo throughout, and a soft bass line blankets each down beat, giving the otherwise frigid track a warm and comforting feel. This sets the stage perfectly for Kanye’s lyrics, and he’s about as convincing as he’ll ever be - offering up a memorable chorus, trading lines with Ty, and lamenting a stolen laptop. There are no ridiculous Kanye lines here, simply the man’s open personality, and it’s powerful to listen to.

When the full song hits your ears you are transported to another world, you are somehow caught between the tensions of what was, what is and what could be. This is a song that doesn’t pretend to be anything else in all of its melancholic sincerity and beauty. Similarly, it authenticates to the honest heart that some things in life are painful and broken and no amount of wishful thinking or positivity will change the past or its heartache. In other words, when life is hard, pretending it’s not, is not an option. Pretending doesn’t work.

This song utilizes a complex mix of melody, harmony, and beats. It is also paired with creative lyrics, and phrases that have become popular because of the song, such as, “Darling, I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream.” This song was such an epic success because it completely succeeded at being accessible, relatable, creative, original, but yet easy to understand. Good music is often a reflection of culture and society at the time, which is what makes it is so successful.

The last song of the album is Transfigured, this song is about how acceptance of flaws and issues is important. It also highlights how respect and empathy for others are extremely important. This song being about

“I'm scared and I'm brave, or somewhere between the two. I'm beautifully strong, and tragically confused. Yeah, I'm that girl, that's just like you.” This is incredibly powerful in the song, the tempo drops and the instruments slowly become inaudible and the focus is only on the voice of the singer. Her voice is weak and vulnerable but at the same time it is strong and powerful, just like the lyrics suggest. Everyone is caught between the idea of being scared and brave, trying to figure out that you are strong enough to deal with a situation that is going on in your life, or being completely confused about everything that is going on in your life. I relate to these lyrics extremely well, I’m scared at the fact that I’m growing up, I’m brave in the fact that I am attend University after being diagnosed with depression and anxiety, and I’m completely confused on where life is going to take me. After the bridge the lyrics to the chorus change to “Well the DJ haunts the halls, and when the boys finally call. We're not sure that we want 'em after all.” This change in the chorus is the realization that the nervousness that someone goes through, while at the time seemed to be the most important thing in the world, may not. With the switch to the chorus the instruments start off again stronger and fuller than before, as if taking

All of the songs on this album relay different messages to listeners. Most songs contain a lot of pathos, call to action and more. Pathos is really prominent in certain songs such as Sorry, Formation, and Freedom. An excerpt from Sorry says: “Now you want to say you 're sorry/Now you want to call me crying/Now you gotta see me wildin '/Now I 'm the one that 's lying/And I don 't feel bad about it/It 's exactly what you get.” This displays the emotions after getting out of a relationship or during the struggles of it. Other lyrics from this song that display this

As I walk up the dark, narrow stairs on the way to my multi-purpose music room I can hear my mom's bedroom TV coming through the vents located next to my bedroom door. As I turn the corner standing next to an ancient keyboard a sudden burst of light hits and I smile and embrace the warmth on my face.Then I see the two bright pink bean bag chairs accompanied by zebra print Big Joe. The pink bean bag chair at the very end off the line is almost always covered by a red and a green frog blanket, Mc Frogger, that my yorkie, Bella lays on well I mess around and come up with new songs . My Netflix is usually on so I can pass the time well practicing. Next to me there is usually a snack like an apple or a kiwi or more likely a
