Analyzing The Song Postmodern Jukebox's Song

“Another New World” Song Analysis Josh Ritter’s “Another New World” is a somber and haunting song, released in 2010 and under the genres of Alternative and Indie. Its purpose is to describe and entertain, much like a story. The audience stems from this purpose, and includes those who enjoy storytelling, or the alternative type of music. The interpretation of this song is influenced by the subject and voice, and the effect of this piece relies heavily on the use of sibilance and personification.

They are different as the second song follows more the cultural aspects of early rap / hip-hop music as the DJ is well involved in the sound by performing during the song. Moreover, the first song is different as it was set to be more of a club song to appeal the youth demographic. I like the second song better as the song I like the sound better the DJ scratching and the lyrics which use more of a word play and hip-hop lingo. In my opinion the first song main purpose is to be played at the club to make people dance and it is sexually driven to ensure commercial success as it said that sex sells. In the other hand the second song shows more the true nature of hip-hop as the video shows some of the basic elements of hip-hop, such as the DJ and MC, which depict the early days of hip-hop, which main purpose was to share their culture through

What are dreams? Some would say they are imaginations and fantasies, whereas others would claim dreams to be their aspirations, desires, and hopes, something they want to achieve someday. Aerosmith uses the latter group’s meaning of dreams in their song “Dream On”. The song exposes how one spends their whole life reaching the goals and wants that may never be all fulfilled, but continues to dream and hope, corresponding with the difficulties the band itself faced during the start of their career and how they kept trying to get to the top.

The off-beat sequences of the electric guitar create a reggae feel for the song endorsing it to be mellow. Throughout the song, the electric guitar does not have any solos but variations of its sequence are repeated throughout the structure of the song. Doing so gives the lead singers’ message more priority. The domination of the classic drum kit creates a ‘head-bobbing’ motion for some when listening to this song, helping it become more popular and an easily enjoyable song.

The song opens with a heavily gated bass line, this was done live many times before the recording, but it was the new gating technology that was mentioned earlier that allowed them to get the tick tock

The difference between these two early Rock songs is that with more knowledge about the genre “Rock around the Clock” grabbed a larger audience. What made it an international hit is what makes most rock songs today a hit. A mix of different instruments such as the saxophone, drums and the guitar, and although the lyrics are repetitive, it’s almost like they become hypnotic to the listener.

Even though the song was about death and depression, the Rolling Stones made it a great rock song that showed their creativity and that they were an unpredictable group who could grow with the time era. “Paint It, Black” by the Rolling Stone was a song in which the they did experiments of sounds on. The song’s form is not like a traditional song outline. It goes by the song form of Chorus/Verse 1/Verse 2/Bridge/Chorus/Outro. The instruments used in this song are 2 guitars, drums, tambourines, and a sitar. Sitar is an Indian string instrument that is like a guitar. The addition of the sitar in this song made was what made it an experimental song. When I listened to this song, in the beginning, I heard the sitar playing solo before any words were sung. Then the drums come in with this nice upbeat rhythm and tempo that made it more of a rock song. In addition, every time when Mick Jagger, said “painted black” in this song, he adds this emphasis to the word “black” of saying it for a longer duration than other words. This helped create that dark mood of the song and added an extra texture to the song. Towards the end of the song like the outro part before the instrumental, there was this short piece of the sitar playing and it helped create this creepy but unique sound. Then it was

Luke Bryan who started his singing career at age fourteen chooses specific words to indicate the time period and makes it clear to identify the genre in his popular song “Play It Again” released in 2013. The repletion but also his way of saying certain words makes this song special and is straightforward for college students to understand poetry. In this song Luke Bran spots a tan legged girl who he finds attractive. Luke the instantly assumes she is taken because of her beauty. As they begin to carry on a conversation a song comes on she gets excited because her favorite song comes on and before he asked her to dance she took his hand and danced with him until the song cut off.

The song “hotel California” The song “hotel California” was released by an artist known as Eagles in 1976. The genre of the song is classic rock. It was written by Glenn Frey and Don Felder with help of Don Henley. California is the setting of this song, even though it

The Dave Matthews Band has been a musical power house for years. They have meshed together almost every type of music together to create their extremely unique sounds and attractiveness towards their music. Dave Matthews, lead singer and guitarist from South Africa has put together a band that no one will ever be able to create again. Dave picked four extremely talented and unique sounding men to join his band and together they have created some amazing music. The members of the band include Stefan Lessard on bass, Boyd Tinsley on violin, Leroi Moore on saxophone and one of the best drummers in the world, Carter Beauford. Together these men will one day leave behind a similar reputation as one of the all time greatest "jam" bands of time.

Consider the title of your song. What does it signify? How can you relate it to the essence of your song? Is there double meaning?

I think the author of the poem, "leaving the Motel," would approve of the song, "Me and Mrs. Jones," to express his poem in song form. It defines a furtive affair between a man and his lover. In the poem, "Leaving the Motel," the author describes two people are having an affair. The private couple do not want to get caught and ruin their lives outside of the relationship. The author writes, "Too. Keep things straight: don't take --The matches, the wrong keyrings--We've nowhere we could keep a keepsake" This line means the couple is double-check to make sure they have nothing of each others. Snodgrass was implying that there is no room for any mistakes in this relationship. If they had taken something of one another, they would be found out. Their secret would be relived. Now in the song, the composer Billy Paul writes, "We gotta be extra careful -- That do we don't build our

An idea that interested me in the song “Fix you” by Coldplay was how you will always have someone to lean on no matter what. When Chris sings “lights will guide home” he is using personification in this line because saying the lights will guide them is a human thing to do, as people guide each other which I think Chris is trying to demonstrate when he sings the lyrics “lights will guide you home.” It shows life itself because no matter how big the mistakes you make, no matter how bad life may seem, there will always be someone that will have your back. This reminds me of my friends who are always there for me whether its for when I’m feeling down or if I’ve had a bad day. These lyrics also emphasize that everyone goes through rough patchs in their life and they should let people try to help them. When my dog died this year, I didn’t take it well and I was distraught, but it made me going through the loss easier

‘No matter gay, straight, or bi, I was born to survive’. In the words of lady GaGa herself it doesn’t matter who you marry, what your gender is or what’s you race you just need to accept others and yourself. Lady GaGa’s song ‘Born this Way’ informs others about self-acceptance

The songs “Friends” and “Candy Store Rock” were great pieces of work by Led Zeppelin. “Friends” starts off with some chatter in the background. After that comes the acoustic guitar with some bongo drums, indicating that this song was inspired by the Africans. This folk styled music involves a lot
