Analysis Of Stairway To Heaven

The song I chose is a song sung by Martina McBride, a country singer, called Concrete Angel. The song was written by Rob Crosby and Stephanie Bentley, later released on November 18, 2002. The song is about a young girl, Angela Carter, who doesn’t have the most stable and safest home. At home she is domestically abused by her drugged mother, neglected and forced to take care of herself; she packs her own school lunch, walks to school by herself, and is wearing the same dress showing her mom does not care to give her new clothes. When watching the music video, in the beginning children are laughing at her, which shows she is bullied, another main theme tackled in the song. The bruises are seen by her teacher and the neighbors hear her

The theme of “Stairway to Heaven” could be said that it is a story of a woman who her whole life, was given everything she wanted in life, money, cars, objects, and gave nothing back in return. In the beginning of the song, it speaks of a woman who is certain, everything that all that glitters are

The mood displayed in this song is much more consistent than that of “Bohemian Rhapsody.” The mood throughout this song is to stay true to who you are no matter of how much pain it may cost you. This mood is very deep when you contemplate it because there are people in this world that never see their family since they had a conflict or feud. This song is trying to say to people to make up with your family or whatever is holding you back from being who you are. The tone set in this song by the 80’s rock band is to always be who you are and true to who you are no matter of what happened in the past because there is always going to be a future. Bon Jovi made really clever figurative language when writing this song. He used this form of writing in almost every line of the song, which makes the song be interpreted in many different ways by different people. The first example found in the song of figurative language says, “Like a blind dog without a bone, I was a gypsy lost in the twilight zone.” This line shows that the main character of the song is confused of where they belong and are confused on where to head next. The following example of figurative language states, “Saving dimes.” You can conclude from this line that the main character of the song is tight on money and could possibly be living from pay to pay. We also learn from more figurative language used throughout the song that the

Led Zeppelin was created when the band Yardbirds, a previous band that Jimmy Page played in, disbanded. Page, the lead guitarist, found Robert Plant and John Bonham and created a new band which would be called the New Yardbirds; they would later adopt the name Led Zeppelin. The main goal they wanted to achieve was to emphasize the guitar, which they accomplished Plant, the singer, had a peculiar voice, raspy with many vocal ranges that he did not know when to hold back his voice. “Not only was he capable of jaw-dropping power and velocity, but he also deftly incorporated evocative percussion elements which added texture and shading.” (Led Zeppelin). The drummer, John Bonham, was a fast drummer who kept perfect time. Led Zeppelin effected music in multiple ways, such as changing the idea of rock music by creating a blueprint for heavy metal music and by influencing the styles of many people.

Each artist made it their own, and have their own meaning for the song. Bob Dylan wrote the song for a western film, and Guns N’ Roses performed it for a tribute concert. Warren Zevon seems to have had a more personal meaning of the song due to his battle with lung cancer as he was recording the song for his album. Although Warren Zevon added a few things to his version of the song, his and Bob Dylan’s were still very similar. Both portrayed a darkness and sadness to the song which I believe was the intention of the song when it was written by Bob Dylan.

The song "The message" by Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five depicts the struggle of young black adults growing up in society. The struggle to make it out of poverty can be compared to survival of the fittest in a jungle. Only the strong would survive and adapt to the changes to fit in. Trying their best to make a betterment with whatever little society offers. Being a young black African American in the early 1980's was not easy. It was easier to live the fast life and gain fast money by being part of the drug community. Drugs, guns, and money was glamorized and this is what the young adults looked at as a means of getting rich. In the songs, a young man talks about how he is trying hard to hold on to the little bit of sanity he has left in his soul. He talks about the struggle he endures while trying not to get pushed over the edge. He was born an innocent child who's blind to the ways of mind kind. Growing up he faced many challenges and had to fight

Members of Led Zeppelin are feeling a whole lotta love for members of a Los Angeles jury who ruled in favor of the British rockers in a court case claiming copyright infringement. Allegations were that the group’s signature song ‘Stairway to Heaven’ was built on a ripped-off riff from 60s psychedelic band Spirit.

Segregation is one of the many themes that connect Amazing Grace and Twilight. Segregation is the most prominent problem discussed in both pieces. It is also shown in a variety of ways, through economic class, race, and by making physical and mental being examples. People in power choosing to ignore a problem that has arisen in its people.

Like most Nirvana songs I have come into contact with, this song tends to go back and forth between unobtrusive verses and brassy choruses. This song is able to include an array of melodies that come together (polyphony) and provide a catchy beat for the listener to be able to easily identify (I do not say this just because I am a percussionist). There is mainly brief, recurring harmonious sequences, rigid instrumental montages, and a fixed rhythmic pattern, which are all common mechanisms of a rock piece. This may make one wonder why the song is so revered, but it is these elements and the way they were incorporated that intensifies its already strong, candid energy. The intro includes the electric guitar playing

In the last chorus, from “The train it left the station…” Robert Johnson’s singing start being different. In general, I would say the main different compare to other choruses, is the way he adds his feeling and emotions into the song. The rhythm of the music become a bit faster, his tone is a bit stronger. Although it is the same chords, the beat is more impressive and intensive to me. Due to these changes, the music leads listeners to a next scene that is most important one, can reflect composer’s deep feelings. This song describes a man struggles with relationships. Before the last chorus, Johnson just describes a scene without adding any additional feelings and emotion that a man follows his woman to the train station. The woman is about

In Song of Roland, the ideas of chivalry and loyalty to one’s king are central. Throughout the text, the author uses the concepts of good versus evil, shown by the Christians versus Muslims, as well as loyalty versus treason, shown by Roland versus Ganelon, to highlight and exemplify the ideals of the code of knighthood. The main character, Roland, is often presented as being an exemplary knight; he personifies the conventional chivalric values of the time such as bravery and loyalty, but he also struggles to balance these values in order to be a responsible leader. Roland is in stark contrast to his stepfather, Ganelon, as well as being in slight contrast to his close friend, Oliver. These contrasts of character come to a climax as the battle against the Muslim army at Roncesvalles begins; Oliver and Roland debate over whether they should call the king to help them, leading to the eventual demise of the French army. This specific scene brings to light the ideological dilemma of bravery versus wisdom and logic, by utilizing Roland as an example of the former, and Oliver of the latter. Roland, as evidenced by this situation, displays perfect loyalty to one’s king and God by being incredibly brave in the face of danger, making sacrifices that he sees are necessary, and fought valiantly until his death, all the while keeping the utmost faith in his God and king.

In 1971, Led Zeppelin released a chart topping, revolutionary song that is currently still played by many people across the globe. The song “Stairway to Heaven” off of their fourth album( Led Zeppelin IV) was almost an instant hit amongst all people of the United States, and various other countries. The song was composed by band members Jimmy Page (guitarist) and Robert Plant ( vocalist). The song is lengthy one, with a duration of roughly eight minutes and withholds many complex segments. Stairway to heaven begins as somewhat of an older folk type melody, then delves into a deeper, more abrupt, electric type of composition whilst the whole time altering tempo. It was and still

“Time is gone the song is over”, now what? In life humanity craves more time. Time is the one fixation we cannot get enough of. Since humanity is required to age, time seems to slip away. We don’t comprehend how time is synthesized. Society knows it goes on forever, regardless of what happens in life. Pink Floyd’s album, Dark Side Of The Moon, had immense success. It was recorded in the summer of 1972 on Capital records. The song Time was written by Roger Waters and recorded in the progressive era of rock and roll. The song is important because it demonstrates how people don’t realize that time slips away. The song displays this by means of engineering, instruments, lyrics, and arrangement. Therefore, taking us into how this song fits the historical context of the progressive era of rock and roll.
