Brritt Nicole Headphone Interpretation

are polluting our mind; however, there are people like Tasha Cobbs who music is uplifting, promotes peace, and love. Though many people do not want to admit it, the music we listen to plays a major role in our daily lives. My mind can be clogged up with doubts negative words said by others. Cobbs’ music, however, makes me have a sound mind and enables me to feel better about myself because my identity is not hidden in others but in Christ. The more positive music I listen to, the more I stay on the right path in life. For example, one of my friends told others a secret that we promised to not share with others. I could have listened to a song that promotes fighting and addressing people when they do you wrong, but instead I prayed and listened to a song covered by Tasha Cobbs “A heart that forgives”, and my mindset was changed and I went about the situation differently. Tasha Cobbs’ music also teaches me that I can always get along with others if I try to seek the best interest in others before I judge them, and that I do not have to have favoritism, but, I can be that light to show others that it is possible to unify our hearts and get along. There is a void in many people’s hearts, but love can fill this void, and that is what many people desire. Cobbs music helps me know that love conquers all things and that it is possible to live a life that is full of joy, in spite of what I may be going

This song represents the talents that i have and what I have that we call determination. the song is fun and addicting for the whole family and more. Talent is tricky subject to get into, because this can go into many categories. I don't have many talents, but i get by and get the job done. In oak hill high school i was a silent and did not interact with anyone during class and man did i have bad acne. That's in the past and I grew confidence and i'm a manager at kfc. So things are not bad as their were back in the day when i was young and free. That's not the subject at hand,talents are really helpful and can entertain for years to come. Having no talent would make a person into that business guy that nobody likes. I mean nobody wants to be left out (except emos). The artist artist 009 sound system can be a good contender on what a person wants to be when the grow up and goto college” You can do anything you want to” that phrase helps represents the talent of adapting which I found out to be the most helpful to me. anyways talent can be a major part of like and should be taken seriously one day that talent can get that job the everyone else

When the song came out in 2015, I was in the midst of graduating and truly coming to terms with the person I am. Going through this period of self-realization, the lyrics “You can't rush your healing/Darkness has its teachings/Love is never leaving/You can't rush your healing” (II. 19-22) really went to show me that the hard times I was going through were placed in my way as learning experiences. Listening to the mellow tunes of this song had such powerful repercussion on my mood as well. Not only the content of the words, reassuring me that everything will pass, but the actual vibrations of sound forced me into a meditative/healing state of

I chose this song because, in my opinion, it has a good thesis that backs up the song lyrics and it gives you a positive feeling. Basically, the song is telling us to always keep our faith and stay strong no matter what. It encourages people to

This song is a great representation of my friend situation this year. At the beginning of this year, my friend group that was very tight and supportive, split up. Our group got in a fight about including everyone, and ended up splitting in half. This was hard to go through, especially

Music has always played a governing role in my development during life. My first major connection with a song occurred when I was around nine years old. A majority of my time growing up was spent with my older sister, Melissa. We would always spend weekend nights in her bedroom with a group of her friends. I can vividly recall the setup of her room: the lights dimmed to an almost perfectly relaxed ambiance; a faint smell of vanilla and cinnamon (her favorite scents) from the candles burning on the dresser; and the television loud enough to hinder any outside noise. Often, these nights would consist of binge watching T.V. shows and story-telling among my sister’s friends, who at the time were much older than me. It was during one of these nights that a commercial came on, displayed by a channel called “VH1.” A music video came on the screen; The song was “How to Save a Life” by The Fray. As the song progressed the room was filled with the seemingly instinctual singing of her friends, almost up-to-par with the rhythm and

Listening to the lyrics of your favorite song you automatically start to have a connection with that song. Then the song starts to represent you and your life because of the lyrics. Some songs show about being a fighter,having freedom, or just being you. There's a billion of songs out there and there's a billion of people who connect with those songs. Usually the most common reason why some songs represent people is by their past experience. For me some songs represent me because I decided to follow my dreams,living in the moment, and get right back up.

The song that describes my life is “Stuck On 17”. I chose this song because it’s about not growing up too fast, and just enjoying life. In high school, I’m bound to make mistakes and not always have the best of grades, but in college I can’t make as many mistakes. I have to show up to classes, I have to learn skills, and I have to be able to improve. Right now, I just need to worry about being

This is another very simplistic song musically and contains lyrics that imply it is okay to be different. I want to focus mainly on the title of the song for this particular track. The title itself is stating that it is okay to be who you are. Be who you are and do not try to be anything other than what you are. Both of these songs are very relatable in the sense that they are try to verbalize that it is okay to be different and be who you are. Many of Nirvana’s songs are actually sending the same exact message, just in different words (Reynolds, 1991). They both relate in their simplistic style and relatable lyrics to generation

The ability to portray a narrative through a song helps visualize the meaning of a unique story. Depending on the message the song delineates, can either put a saccharine smile on one’s face or generate a cascade of tears. The impactfulness of a story, especially through a song, provides meaningful lyrics which may relate to a dramatic event in a person’s life. Since the days of Native Americans singing songs and telling oracles, the lyrics a song possesses forms special stories that helps a person with their individual struggles in life. Therefore, people often refer to songs to revitalize an unpleasant day. Notable artists usually achieve significant success when they produce impactful songs that many can relate to. Their awareness

The song I chose made some really good connections with the book I read. The song talks about freedom and being free, being cut free; let loose from the chains that hold you. This really relates to Gerda the main character in the book that I read; All But My Life. I chose this song because it really relates to the resolution of the book, when the war is about to end. She is marching around in the cold; forced to by the German Soldiers. She wants to give up after seeing everyone she loves die. But she keeps going and finally the war ends and she is free. The song says I’ma keep running cause a winner don’t quite on themselves. This relates to the book because at one point she wants to quit and die; but she doesn’t she keeps persevering through

A world so hateful some would rather die than be who they are." ~"Same Love" Macklemore with Ryan Lewis, and feat. Mary Lambert. A society where kids hate themselves, where they think the only way out is to die. We have to stand up for those who can't stand up for themselves. We let society label us so much to the point that we start believing what they are saying or we start asking ourselves if it's really true. We live in a society where people will bring you down way past your breaking point and once you are broken, or god forbid you kill yourself, they act like they never bullied you for 10 years, and they say how much they love, how beautiful you were, and how much they and miss you, yet they said that they hated you, called you ugly, and said no one would miss you. I remember when I was younger, I used to hear people say "love yourself" and think who doesn't? But now, ten years later I sit and think who does? We get so caught up in trying to be accepted by others that we forget to accept ourselves. We live in a society where, kids talk back to their parents because they think it's cool and they see others doing it to their parents. Society asks you to be yourself, yet they judge

The second song I analyzed was “Paradise” by Coldplay. Similarly to “Kids”, the song “Paradise” starts with the idea of childhood. “When she was just a girl she expected the world. But it flew away from her reach so she ran away in her sleep and dreamed of paradise” is the opening verse for this tune. It talks of a young girl with big dreams expecting the world. As the girl in the song grows up she finds that life is not as simple as she believed. “Life goes on, it gets so heavy. The wheel breaks the butterfly. Every tear a waterfall. In the night the stormy night she'll close her eyes.” Those lyrics are a good example of how life has some downs, tears, and storms, but it talks of how the girl stays positive when the song says, “She’d say, ‘I know the sun must set to rise.’” I think this song is a good reflection of me. I have big dreams for myself, but as life goes on I go through some bumps in the road. I have encountered many of my own stormy nights, but I know the sun will rise to a clearer and brighter day in time. I have learned not to expect things to be handed to me, but to chase after my dreams, and my own perfect paradise to a path of success.
