Analysis Of The Song The Calm By Aubrey Drake

One of Jay–Z’s most iconic songs from the album The Blueprint is “Song Cry”– in which he chronicles the beginning and ending of a serious relationship. Rather than focus on trying to fix the relationship or put all the blame on the other person involved like most breakup songs, “Song Cry” allows Jay-Z to accept the tragic end and reflect on his own mistakes that lead to it. In a way, “Song Cry” allows him to admit to being responsible for the lasting pain of a failed relationship while at the same time catering to his pride by deflecting his own emotions. Levitin supports this idea on page 177: “ We write them to encode lessons that we’ve learned and don’t want to forget, often using metaphor or devices to raise the message up to the level

This song is full of multiple literary devices such as hyperboles, metaphors, and imagery. The hyperboles in the song emphasize strong feelings such as love, hate, and pain. For example, “Just [going to] stand there and watch me burn” (Rihanna, 1), is emphasizing that she is in extreme amounts of pain and all that her significant other is doing, is watching her suffer. “You ever love somebody so much you can barely breathe when [you are] with [them]” (Eminem, 33), emphasizes and how he is so in love with

He quotes, “We all got dreams and we all start reaching” (L. 24), expressing dreams becoming reality. Lights are spotlighted fame, while the money being thrown is income. Drake quotes “Housekeeping knocking to see if all ya”ll decent” (L. 25), suggesting party lifestyles. Being intoxicated, while not remembering who the partner was the night prior. It's hard to leave a surreal occupation with difficulties, which is expressed in “Houstatlantavegas”.

Did you know that a very famous rapper came from a broken home? Drake knows exactly what it is like. Drake is a very talented songwriter. In his songs he writes about his personal life. Drake has a rare lifestyle from a very early age to now having a busy career. He loves what he does, so he loves every moment he is either on stage or helping others.

The song "Stressed Out" by Twenty-One Pilots is a story about a struggling singer which seems familiar to the audience on a personal level. While exploring such sensitive topics as stress, becoming an adult, and nostalgia, it also touches upon the issue of originality. The understanding between the lead singer, Tyler Joseph, and the listeners is reached with the help of the themes, the tone, and the narrative of the song.

The concept of being hyped up is a huge must in the hip hop world, people love the feeling of being hype and being motivated and drake takes that and molds it into his album. Drake is known for his singing and using his vocals even though being a rapper, that aspect of drake really separates drake from other rappers to point where rappers are becoming like drake. Drake manages to make you feel emotional using lyrics and diction that are amazingly great. In the song Hotline Bling drake sings about how he left his city and his love to come back to see that she has moved on. Drake says “ever since I left the city you got a reputation for yourself now everybody knows it I feel left out.” saying that everyone knows her except drake who should know her better. Drake also makes us dance, in a tropical vibe song called one dance drake uses drums and his majestic vocals to make a song your body cannot refuse. The song took the nation by storm and really elevated the album to another level and it gained respect from his peers. Another song on views called controlla had the same vibes as one dance, but has more of a romantic feeling to it that also attracts to the youth. Most people like to music that involves being loyal and that has a good tempo to it that can be danced to, drake takes that into perspective and

And then, a week later, “Real Friends” comes along, and is it crazy to say that I still hear shades of Drake in this song? Only this time, it’s different

The lyrics in each of his songs in the album relate to the album cover because they talk about the struggles he had to overcome as a kid in order to get to where he is today. This cover makes me think of determination because of Drake’s persistence on wanting his fans to understand the lyrics to his songs. Though little is actually in the picture, the image itself contains a wide variety of information. One of Drake’s most iconic songs to date “Started from the Bottom” truly illustrates his struggles while growing up in Toronto. All of this lead to his successful future as a rap and hip-hop artist today.

The first sound we hear is Roy’s sweet voice that echoes throughout to the bridge of the song “Cause imma get you good.” Within his late night thoughts, Wood$ delicately sings about his past struggles with superficial and emotionless relationships “Never had a woman that had showed me love / So I never felt this feeling before”, but his tone is full of bliss. The song fuses an amazing flow with a capturing energetic beat where we are also reminded of the Drake type of mood within “The Beauty of Lust”. However, the layers of pitches and tones used created a song that shines right past his single with Drake: “Drama”. Wood$ spends the majority of the album in awe of the women he sings about; his muse “Since I'm always here, I'm only gone for a minute / Gone for a minute.” Denzel Spencer’s sincerity and different perspective about relationships and success make his music very relatable in a seamless blend and it succeeds, much like Drake, largely due to Noah "40" Sheibib’s ability to create an

Drake’s style is free verse. His works are filled with enjambment. Both the style and this literary device work together express raw emotion and make emotional connections. His poetry seems like he is saying them to you in the moment, due to the lack of a rhyme scheme. The “in the moment” feeling makes the poem seem more intense and heartfelt. This personal touch to the poems makes it seem like Drake is saying his poetry directly at the reader, forming an emotional connection. The enjambment in some poems emphasize different phrases and words that evoke emotional responses, helping form emotional

“Runaway Kanye West” A year before this song was released Kanye West had his famous moment when he interrupted Taylor Swifts VMA acceptance speech. After that moment he was tortured by the media and hated by many. The following year he performed this song “Runaway” at the next VMA’s. I believe it was an apology to women he had hurt and disrespected, Taylor being one of them, and showed how lonely and vulnerable Kanye is. I think it impacted the way people view Kanye, and affected a culture of men as he describes as “douchbags”, and “scum-bags” and how men in society need to change.

These quotes show how exhausting and grueling the things their parents did for them were. Both writers seem put out with their parents. In the first verse Drake is talking to his mother, “And then you ash it and we argue about spending money on bulls*#!,” then starts to get angry toward

Almost the entire world knows who Drake is after his worldwide smash hit single, "Hotline Bling." Obviously, it 's a song towards the female listener, but Drake as we know can also get himself out of a beef. Up until now, he was aleady respected by all of hip hop for his past mixtapes, and album quality with "Take Care," and "Nothing Was The Same."

With a title like “Waterfalls”, one would expect this song to be about actual waterfalls or other cheery subject matter. This is far from reality with the controversial 1995 song by TLC titled as such, Waterfalls. The song’s opening lyrics, “a lonely mother gazing out of her window, staring at a son she just can’t touch”, hint at the fact that this song is far from rainbows and lollipops. Waterfalls subtly, and at times, not so subtly, discusses issues like HIV, drug use, and crimes associated with the drug trade business. All of these issues plagued society in the early 90’s, but impacted the African American community

Also there is grief, in the song it says “when our friends talk about you all it does is tear me down.” he is grieving about his ex. whenever he hears about her he reminisces about the memories they had and it tears him down.
