Analyzing The Country Song 'Good In Goodbye'

“Blown Away” by Carrie Underwood shows many examples of pathos, ethos, and logos in the song. The emotions within the song are very heart wrenching and dark and the sound of the song is portrayed this way. The sound of the song is very dark and intense with a fast loud beat throughout which correlates to the lyrics and the video of the song as well. Carrie Underwood establishes her credibility by being who she is as a country singer and has been for the past ten years. She also shows logos in her song by telling the state in which it is happening which she repeatedly said was Oklahoma. “Blown Away” is written to people who have experienced similar circumstances with violence in their life at home and for people to hear about a story. The music

The message behind this song and music video is one that everyone can relate too. More than likely, we have all lost someone in our life who we truly loved and cared for. Understanding, coping and accepting death would be so much easier if "Heaven wasn't so far away". We all wish we could go see the person we have lost due to death, but as we know once they are gone, they are gone. The message of this song definitely has an uplifting, subliminal message.

The song “American Solider” is sung by Toby Keith, a country music artist. The release date of this song was 2003, and it was named one of the hot country songs on the chart in November 2003. The lyrics to American Soldier by Toby Keith explain a soldier's feelings and responsibilities to his family and his country. He wants to be a good husband and father, and to also meet the needs of everyone else. Toby Keith states that he is not a soldier for the money because he is still unable to pay all of his bills, and the glory is not a good reason because it is not always wonderful. He became a soldier because he knows that he has to fight for the future of his family and his country. There are some cons to being a soldier, such as not being able

Songs are written to evoke emotion, feelings, to be relatable. The creation of a song is an art form. It is carefully crafted to not only entertain an audience but to also evoke an emotional response. There is a variety of emotions such as happiness, sadness, anger, and so forth. Songs are not only the instruments or machines creating sound in the background, but the lyrics. The instruments reflect the tone that is set in the lyrics. In order to extract the meaning of the song, one must listen to the words. Two strongly contrasting songs are Heathens by 21 Pilots and Louis Armstrong’s What a Wonderful World. Heathens and What a Wonderful World have different backgrounds, meanings, and themes. There are some literary similarities but there are

“Hall of Fame” by Script and “Home” by Dierks Bentley are two inspirational songs that will be focusing on two main points, courage and the strength to succeed in life. People around the world listen to music to relax and calm their minds, inspire their lives everyday, and give them hope. Music can change the way people feel and think emotionally about a friend or a family member. American’s and everyone around the world are not focusing on the big picture, they are too worried about how people are going crazy and the bad side of the world. They need to focus on how they can fix the problem and lead the world. People that sacrifice themselves across the world and fighting in Syria or any other country will always be “home” in our hearts

“We leave something of ourselves behind when we leave a place, we stay there, even though we go away” (Pascal Mercier). Leaving somewhere or someone behind, that is loved, can be very a difficult and trying time in one's life. Many times one will go through several different phases of emotions before they can really comprehend what is happening. For some leaving may be a chance to chase their wildest dreams, and for others leaving is a way to say goodbye permanently. In the passages “Departure” and the “Song-Farewell to Eliza” both the main character and the speaker are impacted in different ways by their departure from the place or people they love.

A recent performance that captured not only the audience but also the judges on American Idol by Kelly Clarkson called “Piece By Piece” not only had everybody in tears but also in complete awe. This performance became huge in the world of Facebook, so many people watching the video, sharing the video, and telling their stories about their feelings related to the lyrics. Throughout this essay I will be discussing Kelly Clarkson’s journey throughout her life, how single family parenting is impacting the society, how the outlook on single family homes have changed throughout generations because it is becoming more of a norm and finally the emotional connection to the songs that she has written in regards to her father and the struggles she has faced throughout her life. To me Kelly has a way of capturing her audience and pulling them into the songs and really making the lyrics make sense, and helping people in similar situations realize that they are not alone in their struggles.

Something that makes Badlands such a beautiful work of art are the lyrics, which are simple and beautiful enough to make them relatable to nearly anyone who listens to them. Many people have criticized Halsey’s lyrics for being “generic,” however, they are creative and carefully written, but may not appeal to everyone. One of her best lyrics is a fan favorite, “you were red, and you liked me because I was blue. But you touched me and suddenly I was a lilac sky, and you decided purple just wasn’t for you.” This lyric is from the song Colors, which was written about Halsey’s brief relationship with Matty Healy from the band The 1975. It describes a relationship in which one person changes another so much that they find they no longer are attracted

For many years, music has played an important role in organizing influencing how one should responses to social changes. The sample of songs that are in this week lessons are all examples that provoke emotions and thoughts that relates to the society. One song in particular expressed how families could not wait any longer for the boys to come back home from war. Written by Freda Payne, “Bring the Boys Home” illustrated how families were worried sick and the boys were hoping to go home soon to bring with their families. This song is also questioning “what is the purpose of war?”

What does Paris by The Chainsmokers, Say Something  by A Great Big World, and Here Comes Goodbye by Rascal Flatts all have in common? They are break-up songs. Each in their own way, all of these songs are about pain and sadness caused by break-ups.Some of these songs are meant to cause an already sad person to cope with their sadness by pushing them farther into “The Abyss”. A few are meant to touch on the happier memories of the relationship giving someone hope that they will love again. All of these songs, through their lyrics, structure, and rhythm, are all meant to cope with a person's sadness that results from a break-up.

There’s a song, that, when I hear, it recalls things such as my overcoming my depression, my dog Brownie, a fragrance that I used to wear, and video games that I used to play. But what I’m going to talk about is a memorable experience this song brings me, and that is the memory of having Baby Brownie in my life. The song doesn’t really mean anything special to me, because of the lyrics or the music, but it brings about nostalgia, which is the best feeling to me. I listen to the song to bring back the good memories and reminisce on the good times when my mom, Pickles (my other dog), and I were having fun going to the park or playing around together. It even brings back memories of Brownie fighting with Pepper through the my grandmother’s fence when we lived next to her.

Having lived out many highs and lows through her career, Goodrem’s latest musical offering encapsulates the heartbeat of a singer who simply adores making music for others. With warmth that transcended our phone interview for a routine press junket, it is little wonder Goodrem continues to endear the ears, and hearts, of a country. “My intention is true to wanting to just bring a good message and be a light to people, and for people to have my music as part of their

I consider my favorite song to be, Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd and believe it has been my favorite ever since I could understand words. At first the song was only my favorite because it mentions my dads hometown, Muscle Shoals, and I just thought it was super neat. As I grew older my dad explained to me the meaning and the story of the song, and I only started to like it more. The song Sweet Home Alabama was written in the 1970’s as a response to two songs written by Neil Young. The two songs written by Neil Young were Southern Man and Alabama, and the songs essentially bashed on the southern people for slowing down the progress of getting rid of segregation. So Lynyrd Skynyrd decided to write Sweet Home Alabama strictly as a response

‘Good Riddance’ by Green Day is my theme for my eighth grade year. This song was written by Billie Joe Armstrong for the album Nimrod in 1997. In the album recording of the song Billie messes up the opening chord progression twice before saying a quiet explicative and playing the song correctly. The first couple weeks were pretty rough for me

When I am listening to music of any kind, I find the melody of the song to be the most appealing. The melody flows through songs so effortlessly, which is delightful for me to listen to. I have chosen two songs from what most of us would consider the genre classic country or also known as country music’s golden age. My first example is “Coal Miner’s Daughter” by the famous and widely-known artist Loretta Lynn. Not only was the song performed by Lynn, but it was also written by her in the year of 1969. The melody of the song is very simplistic but very pleasing. Often times when I am listening to this song, I tend to sway my head back and forth, letting the melody flow in and out of my ears. This song tells a true story, which gives it character and uniqueness. This song is centered around Loretta Lynn’s childhood and her father’s occupation of a coal miner. Lynn shares fond memories of her environment but also describes times of financial struggles.
