Analyzing The Song 'Photograph' By Nickelback

“Mirror on the wall here we are again, Through my rise and fall You've been my only friend”. These lyrics from Lil Wayne’s (Said by Bruno Mars) song says that in life you can only trust yourself. I found in life that you can’t really trust anyone. This song is the definiton of my motto.It describes many aspects of my life through out it.

In “What Pop Lyrics Say to Us Today” writer Robert Palmer analyzes pop lyrics over the recent decades and concludes pop music sends dominant messages that are influential to young people. Pop has always thoroughly responded to current events, and today’s pop music continues to reflect that culture. To begin with, pop can change attitudes toward love. Palmer first refers to stars such as Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones who endorse sex to urge social change and revolution. Their music was a voice and reminder to older generations that they possessed influential power. True romantic notions tend to be viewed with some suspicion. Palmer also discusses how in comparison to music of the 60’s, idealisms have changed since current times. The Beatles

In the song “Radioactive” by Imagine Dragons the band talks about prison, hope, depression, and an uprising. Throughout the song, the band explains some of the meanings that the song is about. Imagine Dragons explain why the composer Paul Rodgers wrote the song and how he did it. The main reason that the composer wrote the song was because Paul had a friend who went to prison and explained to him that prison is just hard and physical labor. In line 6 the band sings “I wipe my brow and sweat my rust meaning hard physical labor or work. Another line saying “All systems go, the sun hasn't died” (line 31) meaning that there is still hope left in a person through a tragedy. Lines 12 and 25 say “I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones” which means

The song I will be analyzing is Two, by The Antlers. This band is an Indie rock / art rock band from Brooklyn, New York. The lead singer and lyricist is Peter Silberman, with Michael Lerner on drums, and Darby Cicci on trumpet, bass, synth, and vocals. The music they make almost always consists of synth and vocals, with accompaniment from a wide array of other instruments. Their album Hospice tells the story of a abusive relationship between a hospice nurse and his dying patient.

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 colorful ambiance of a “Super Bowl 50” commercial emerges, highlighting a vivid yellow box. Inside, an individual - clad in a gray cable-knit turtleneck, gray sweatpants, and combat boots - frolicks to the accompaniment of a subtle drumbeat. Shortly afterward, the word “Drake” appears in white text as individual chants the opening lyrics to a ballad familiar among many: “You used to call me on my cell phone” (“50”). The song deactivates when a male voice bellows, “Cut, cut!” (“50”). The setting of a music video is depicted, and three individuals approach the yellow box, confronting hip-hop icon Drake in regard to altering the lyrics of his song, “Hotline Bling.” These alterations focus upon mocking a wide array of concealed fees or conditions

Ariel McCullough, Art Education 1600, Autumn 2015, Dr. Smith The Generation of Cynics Green Day is a band that a defined multiple generations. While they are not notorious for their political statements, but more of their wild behaviors, along the way they have made a few songs with some obvious statements about society. One song in particular is very clearly political. This song is called “American Idiot”.

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.

Well, there is one scene in particular that changes the mood completely due to the music rhythm and that one scene is when butch and sundance kid are getting chased in Bolivia and the music in the background is so like hyped up. It’s a song that you’d typically hear in a cartoon, I think it made the scene funny and unique. Reason behind that is because think about, they’re getting chased and like the music in the background should be like dramatic, the song they used was just funny. Another scene is when sundance kid and that girl rode the bicycle and then that happy music was playing, if they were just laughing and like talking it would’ve been boring. That happy rhythm changes the mood and puts you in a happy place, makes you think wow that’s

Panic! at the Disco (stylized for a time as Panic at the Disco[1][2]) is an American rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada, formed in 2004 and featuring the current lineup of vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Brendon Urie.

The two songs I will be comparing are “Centuries,” by Fall out Boy and “21 Guns,” By Green day. I chose these songs, because I love the bands and even more importantly, I love their music. Not one song is the same, so I chose these songs to research so that I can better understand what I enjoy in a song and what interests me. I first found Fall Out Boy when listening to the radio. After that, I looked them up on YouTube and now they have become one of my favorite musical groups ever. I found out about Green Day while listening to a Pandora Station. I have been listening to these bands for around three years each and have been hooked on every song they release.

“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.

Dream on is a piece of music written and performed by the band Aerosmith and it was covered by the band, Blacktop Mojo, who made the song richer and fuller in sound, and also Postmodern Jukebox who remade the song into a completely different genre.

Music is the most preferred form of entertainment. People are usually interested in the melody, voice, dress, dance style of the musicians, and musical instruments. Little attention is given to the message the musician is trying to communicate to the audience. Some musicians may try to communicate the experiences and challenges they have faced in their lives and how they have finally overcome them. Some may inspire people to view life differently, by making them aware of the several issues that are unaddressed and of great importance in the community. Michael Jackson’s “Man in the Mirror," is one such famous song, which is inspirational, encouraging people to change their ways of living, and addressing the challenges facing the world.

I chose to analyze the song Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke, which was produced and mass played on the radio in 2013. This song holds the suggestion that a man and a woman are together at a party and that the man is sexually pursuing the woman. In this song, the woman never directly reciprocates his intentions of sexual activity, yet the man, the singer, proclaims that he can still tell that she wants to have a sexual encounter with him. The man details through the song the woman’s supposed intentions through his lens and ultimately the physical relationship that he assumes they will have. This song exemplifies gender norms for both men and women.
