Analysis Of The Song ' Hush Yael ' By Oh, Sleeper

The logos in the lyrics of this song are shown through the use of rhetorical and historical examples. A rhetorical example can be used to appeal to the use memories or experiences the audience has struggled through before to get to this point in time. A lyric from the song that supports this point is “overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism, but we still got terrorists her livin’ in the USA, the big CIA, the bloods and the crips and the KKK”. From a personal standpoint I can relate to these lyrics because our country has had a fair share of terrorism in the past. Thousands of innocent individuals have gone through such pain and suffering and are now stuck with such vivid memories for the rest of their lives. I can remember my mother telling me that my father was less than two blocks away from The World Trade Center moments before they were attacked. The emotions my mother was facing at the time would be indescribable, but she can recall everything and unfortunate will be able to for the rest of time. The logic and meaning behind these lyrics are the as a nation we are all trying to put an end to all the terrorism around our not only our country but around the globe were we billions of people are settled but the harsh reality behind it is that no matter how as society we advance or how hard we try we cannot put an end to it

The thought of art is more than what you see it is what you feel and what you learn from looking at it. Art can heal the soul and create and new outlook on images we may see every day. Sadly, we may not always see the art in things, pieces, or, humans.

Art is originality and representative. It can be symbolic and carry a deeper meaning, which makes people think. While in the studio recording his song, Pootie Tang shows a lot of expression, which shows that he is putting emotion into the song. It makes the people listening to it dance, and at the end the father comes into the child's room telling him to turn the 'noise' down. George Dicky once said that “art is whatever the art world accepts as art”. Since the audience dances to the song, they are basically accepting the silence as music. The people who listened to Pootie accepted the silence as a song, so they enjoyed it and acted as if it were music. An artist named Marcel Duchamp once took a urinal, signed it and put it in a museum as an work of art. It was a controversial piece, and the crowd was divided based on whether they thought it was art or not. Pootie Tang's song is like this urinal. Both artists took something and thrust it into the art world. There will always be a divide among people based on what art is and isn't. Pootie's song may have a deeper meaning to him, as people may see it as trying to represent how nowadays music has no substance to it anymore and is basically nothing but

Art, by definition, is works created by artists: paintings, sculptures, etc., that are created to be beautiful or to express important ideas or feelings (Merriam-Webster).

These lyrics explains the pain and the suffering these families needed to go to through in order to be okay. The words they use is something that everybody thought at that point when the war was going on. When the song said that mothers raised their sons to be their pride and joy, they meant it in a way that whatever their child did was to make them happy and make their mothers proud. And the line that follows is the reality saying that the country only uses men to fight and kill the enemy and then forget about

     The song continues to venture into the theme of justice and injustice. Although all the evidence supports the Hurricane’s innocence, the community as a whole acts to ensure that injustice is served.

The lyrics gather the attention of those African-Americans enduring racial discrimination to be prepare for a change, “You will not be able to stay home/brother/You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out”(lines 1-2).It feels like the Heron is conveying a sign of desperation to those listeners.Unity is essential for everyone who happens to

The second half of the first stanza introduces an extended metaphor describing the motivating factor of human nature, saying, “To conquer every mountain shown” (Keenan). While the word “conquer,” conjures up images of imperialistic warfare, within the context of this song the word has a broader meaning and may be more clearly understood as the “will to power and the will to meaning.” That is, the driving forces of human nature are achievement, which is motivated by personal ambition to reach the highest possible position we may accomplish, and the drive to understand the meaning of our lives. The word mountain represents every type of obstacle that might get in the way of that goal, while the word “I” directly refers to the singer and metaphorically refers to humanity as a collective of individuals motivated by personal self-interest. Taken together with the first half of this stanza, we see the idea that the defining characteristic of human nature is to overcome, or conquer, every obstacle that obstructs the will to power or prevents us from discovering truth. The singer then introduces the controlling metaphor (or main theme) of the song, which is transcendence saying, “But I’ve

“We Shall Overcome” by Peter Seeger, many would describe to be the anthem for the Civil Rights Movement or 1960s Civil Rights Movement (sometimes referred to as the "African-American Civil Rights Movement" although the term "African American" was not widely used in the 1950s and 1960s). It encompasses social movements in the United States whose goals were to end racial segregation and discrimination against African Americans and to secure legal recognition and federal protection of the citizenship rights enumerated in the Constitution and federal law. During this period many folk and blues artistes’ music were protest songs, to speak out against the justice of Blacks and other unconstitutional acts. These music not only protested the injustice but it brought together people of all ethnicity/race, social class and regions, in solidarity to form a major campaigns of civil resistance. The conventional protest melodies in the United States goes way beyond the nineteen century and into the colonial period, the American Revolutionary War and the corollary. In the nineteenth century topical subjects for protest songs included abrogation, subjugation, destitution, and the Civil War among different subjects. In the twentieth century civil liberties, women 's rights, financial injustice, governmental issues and war were among the well-known subjects for protest songs. This paper will explore the protest song “We Shall Overcome” and its impact on the civil rights movement and the

We as individuals have a chance to make a difference in the world, we have a chance to be a voice for others who don’t, and we definitely have the power to make and be the change we want to see. Although we have the power to do so, sometimes it’s difficult, but it does not mean that we have to give up. An example of someone making a change is the author of “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.” The author, Wallace Willis, is believed to have written the song to bring awareness to slavery in the past. The song was sung by many and grasped the attention of people and helped bring awareness to the topic of slavery. There are also authors now, in the present who write protest songs to bring awareness to problems and situations that are happening everywhere in the world, situations that are affecting us now. The song “FDT,” is a song written about the current president, Donald Trump, and talks about his decisions in office and other things. These people use their voice to make a stand, they want to change the world for the better. Although, the way they make their voice heard is by using strategies that will catch everyone’s attention.

Most people judge whether something is art by its quality while others see it only when it evokes an emotional response from its audience. Art, however, simply needs a

The first stanza, which is also the chorus, they make a reference to how being surrounded by conflict and abuse can eat away their own personality until they’ve become the very thing they’ve once feared and hated, as if possessed by their tormentors. Then, in the first verse, which says , they express the thought that during the conflict in Northern Ireland, the real problem was the people who promoted the violence and the conflict. They also say that people started trying to deal with themselves because thought they were the ones to blame, so they thought

During this time many people rose to prominence to include Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, Rosa Parks, and Malcom X. There are several verses within the poem that can easily be attributed to the ongoing struggle that the African Americans were facing, and that times would be changing. “For the loser now will be later to win, For the times they are a-changin’”(Dylan) and “Come senators, congressmen, Please heed the call Don’t stand in the doorway Don’t block up the hall… There’s a battle outside and it is ragin’ It’ll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls” (Dylan) illustrates the struggle that African Americans were facing. During the time that the song written and the years following Dr. King, President Kennedy, and Malcom X were all assassinated for the role that they were playing during the events of the civil rights movement. The older generation was unable to accept that indeed the times were changing and were dragging their heels down a road that was vastly different from what they had travelled when they were younger. They soon found that there was nothing that they could do to stop the change.

Art is an object or piece of work that brings one pleasure. Art is also something you see or feel and you cannot even begin to describe the ways you like it or how it makes you feel. Art is something that portrays beauty and happiness. Art lets you see the world through another person’s perspective. Most art seems to tell a story about where a person has been and the things they have encountered along the way. It lets you connect with the artist and see things through their eyes. Art is a way of expressing one’s self without words. When I think of art, I think of paintings, portraits, sketches, and sculptures.

It is a sin for anyone to destroy, in a blink of an eye, what they have been working on for months or even years. Therefore, one should always face the hardships with a strong will, hold their head up high when facing an upcoming storm, because that is the only way they can survive the war that is life. Right towards the end of the song, there is an extremely empowering line that says “this road never looked so lonely, this house doesn’t burn down slowly to ashes” which stands as a reminder that right when the challenge becomes harder, one should never forget what they are fighting for and simply give up. The amount of determination reflected in this line is the reason why I listen to this song whenever I feel defeated by the obstacles. It comes to spark the flame of determination in my heart when I consider backing
