Badland Lyrics Analysis

The theme of 123rd Street rap is one that can't be compared to any other poem. The reason for this is that it has such a deep reality to it and it is only a poem.

This Lit Reflection will be about the song Wrong Side of Heaven by Five Finger Death Punch. The song is a very touching it talks about the soldiers of our country and how they are being treated.

At first listen, “Breezeblocks” seems like an ordinary “trip-folk” style of music by the foursome also known as Alt-j, but if you listen closer it is discernible that the lyrics go much deeper into the psyche of someone deeply in love and what happens when the love is not reciprocated.

The song “If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out” by Cat Stevens, featured repeatedly in the film and on the soundtrack of Harold and Maude (1971), was an original work created for the film. It best represents the film and the ideas portrayed in it through the film’s main characters by relating to them through uplifting lyrics and meanings that can be associated with the pasts and presents of the characters.

For this piece, we danced to "All Through the Night" by Sleeping At Last. Both the choreography and the lyrics of the song coincide to portray the difficulties of connecting deeply with someone.

To start, the first reason why this song resembles my 8th grade year was how he talks about the town he lives in.

While there are various ambiguous meanings hidden within the lyrics of the song “Only the Good Die Young” by Billy Joel, these are some of the most eye catching meanings that lie within the lyrics. Beginning with the first verse, “Come out Virginia, don’t let me wait, you Catholic girls start much too late... Ah but sooner or later it comes down to fate, I might as well be the one (Joel, “Only the Good Die Young”).

As the power of a song resides completely in its lyrics, it is no longer surprising that music can be healing, inspiring, or even motivating.

Imagine Dragons is a rock band whose music tends to address both personal and social issues. It’s Time, one of their biggest hits and most influential songs, was written by the band’s lead singer Dan Reynolds during a difficult time in his life. “ I was not very happy with who I was, I guess, and I wanted to make some changes” says the singer in an interview with Purevolume , in which he addresses It’s Time as a poem he wrote to express
