Analysis Of The Song 'Sundance'

The same applies to a dramatic scene where the music may be deep and frantic to convey to the audience the feeling of anticipation. A scene i would like to focus on is the scene in which Garry and his father have a final ‘showdown’, if you will, at the front of the house. The scene consists of the father imposing himself on Garry and proceeding to continually beat him down time after time only for Garry to rise up and face his father on each occasion. This scene evoked a feeling of pride and admiration from the audience as to Garry’s courage and determination to convey the message to his father that he is ready to stand on his own two feet and defy him. This is a very powerful scene within the movie which initiated powerful emotions within the audience. All of this was accomplished with the notable absence of music of any form. The omission of music in this scene created an atmosphere in which the dramatic affect was amplified due to the silence.

For example, when everything seems to go wrong, the music is sad. When Billy and Michael are dancing in the boxing arena, the music is positive and cheerful. As Billy's father goes into them, the music stops and there is a tense atmosphere. In the end of the movie, when everything seems to evolve into Billy's favour, it's a love song that reflects Billy mood.

Another great part of the film, was the sound/music. Dramatic music was used a lot, which made sense considering it was a pretty dramatic film. However, in the parts of the film that aren't so dramatic, the calm music is also very well used, and strongly reminds me of the Nemo soundtrack.

Ludacris does a remarkable job of portraying his message about the struggles that some adolescents are faced with. “Runaway Love”, by Ludacris, featuring Mary J. Blige (2007), represents the theme of struggle through hip-hop and rap music. It is about little girls who are “stuck up in the world on their own.” They have to take care of themselves because the people they are around do not care about them. They range from nine to eleven years in age, and their goal in life, at such a young age, is to run away from home. Ludacris is trying to get the listener to realize the struggles that even children have to face because adults are not the only ones who have problems, like most people believe. He is very successful in

Upbeat moments such as the film’s opening are appropriately coupled with orchestrations that complement the scene as expected, but there are some moments that feature compositions that don’t truly fit the tone of the film. For example, right before Buddy and his cousin begin counting their change, the music inelegantly changes from and calm and well composed tune to an unsettling and overactive bridge that doesn’t match the scene at all. This part sounds more as if some sort of unfortunate event were about I take place, but instead, the duo begins a simple conversation about a contest they had recently entered.

The audio although normally overpowered by the visual aspect played a key role in defining and empowering the movie. The music was fast and uplifting during celebration and on

9/11 was a catastrophic event that has impacted the U.S and the world. Thousands of lives were lost in this attack on U.S soil. The U.S was filled with grief after this attack as they remembered the innocent lives lost. I think that we turn to music to help us get through difficult times because it allows us to unite as one and music is relatable. Music allows people to relate to the message and realize that they aren't alone. Music brings people together in a common goal and allows us to move on from tough situations. Music also can almost distract us from what is going on outside because sometimes when you listen to music you almost enter this bubble that blocks you from the outside world. I actually listen to Toby Keith's song a lot over my life as it is one of my mom's favorite songs. I think that his song is more appealing because it is written in a more upbeat tone than the Bruce Springsteen's song. Toby Keith's song makes me want to be proud to be an American and unite with my fellow citizens while Bruce Springsteen's song is almost more melancholy. I think that in a way that Toby Keith overlooks the bad side of what happened on that day because he wants to make Americans stand up and be proud while Bruce Springsteen is almost more realistic in my opinion and creates the idea of moving on and overcoming. Bruce Springsteen depicts a firefighter going up the tower almost like ascending from Earth to heaven.

The song, “Help Me Help You”, by Logan Paul, is one that has many distinct similarities throughout the entire chapter of “ Half And Half” . They both share the main idea of relationship struggles due to the indecisiveness found in the female figure that is dealt with by the male figure. This then leads to an abundance of frustration and hardship in the relationship. The theme that both the song and chapter have in common is “struggle”. The connections from the song to the chapter is most suitable to distinguish at the initiation of Rose and Ted’s difficulties and relationship flaws, which is about halfway through page 119.

The alternative rock band, Red Hot Chili Peppers, formed their band in Los Angeles, California in 1983 when signing with EMI, a British record label. The band was not happy with their first few albums and were heavily into drugs, thus having an unsuccessful first tour. The guitarist, Hillel Slovak, died from drug overdose early in their career. After Hillel died, the band saw an increase in their success. Their first, second, third, and fourth albums were not huge hits or big sellers, but in 1989, Mothers Milk, was released and they started to rise in the music world. As the band got more popular, they started to get out of hand with indecent exposure and reckless behavior. When the Red Hot Chili Peppers came out with

This clearly explains the significance of music and the role that has in motion pictures. Music has to match the emotions that the actors are showing and the environment they are in. If fail to do so, the movie could be a dreadful thing to watch.

“Don McLean (1971) vs. Madonna (2000) “American Pie” Don McLean Don McLean sang the song “American Pie” very well. His voice is crystal clear when he sang this song, and it sounds like he is pouring his heart into the song. Don McLean has a very dynamic voice, which makes the song both very simple and complex. He makes his voice quiet on serious verses and adds energy to the song, which makes it a very unique song.

Another thing the movie does well is their choice of when to play background music. Whenever an event or something leading up to the climax is about to occur suspenseful music. This indicated something important or unfortunate was about to happen when. This helped everything seem dramatic and kept viewers on the edge while they waited for something to happen.

The use of music fits in with the montage as it is upbeat and happy, however it adapts the tempo to the events happening. Hence helping us relate to the characters and events. A demonstration of this, is when Ellie finds out about her loss, and the music is playing at a slow tempo until the idea of going to Niagara Falls is proposed, then there is a slight twinkle where the music begins to speed up. This changes the mood of the event, so if it was a sad scene, the music would appropriately slow down and slowly build back up to when the scene changed to portray a happy event. Additionally, it relates to society and illustrates to the audience how everyone in life goes through their ‘ups and downs’, and is further exemplified in the quote “life is like a rollercoaster.”

The ability of the composer to readily enable a sense of what the character is feeling or personally reflecting the characters “persona” is astonishing. The way music was utilized in the movie somehow seems to touch everyone’s life. The film itself reflects the different styles of music while bringing them together to tell one story. Like what August Rush (Evan Taylor) famously said, “Listen. Can you hear it?

1. I feel sorrow and regret while listening to the "Redemption Song", for all people whom have been enslaved or persecuted. However, I also feel the hope in this song of freedom, and that the enslavement has made these people strong and they can learn to free their minds from slavery. However, there is also a feeling of ongoing despair or futility as a result of continuing killings, while the song pushes us to continue to hope and free our minds from this despair.
