Changing Perspective

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

The lyrics really spoke to me. Every word coming out of his mouth was not only musically pleasing but gave me a sense of belonging. That was a reoccurring feeling in Jason’s concert, which was the feeling of belonging because he was singing about topics that I saw happen first-hand in my life. This song also has a strong rock influence like many of Jason’s other songs. Without knowing the lyrics completely his music is still easy to pick up on and to sing along to making for an even better concert

Watching the judges including Keith Urban sit and cry at her performance, showed how much this song really spoke to so many people, and got me crying even harder then I was just listening to the song. Kelly has been a huge success since winning the first season of American Idol. She came back to perform this powerful piece on their final show. Even watching Jennifer Lopez’ reaction was hard to see. Everybody was just pulled into this song and you

The guitar solo provided more emotional support to the lyrics of the song. It wasn't loud and it wasn't soft. It was right in the middle. The song had a medium tempo and the dynamic of the song is soft to high and then back to soft. Because of the soothing and soft to high dynamic of the song with the guitar producing the support, you feel the emotions the song is trying to provide. Most of the lyrics are repeated in song and the main vocalist said this line (“I don't want to leave her now. You know I believe and how") throughout the song, which is the main idea behind the song. The main idea the song is trying to portray is how there’s something special in the person he loves and he can't let her go. He said "Attracts me like no other lover" and” That I don't need no other lover" which means the girl he loves is irreplaceable. The lyrics of this song are relatable to everyone because it's about love. It's not something we can see or touch but it's an emotion that we all can feel and express at any given

This song is perfect example of how disco helped people express themselves through dancing especially when they were struggling in life, a theme that anybody can relate to no matter who they

This song was influential for me because it talks about how as you grow, you should find yourself and help yourself reach your goals but that you shouldn’t forget the important people in your life when they’re going through difficult times or just need help reaching their goals. This song was also one of the first songs I listened to that I could connect

In my experiences with the song, I’ve gotten the sense of deep thought; the kind of thought one could get from listening to a classic piece most of the time. With this deep thought, I have gotten lots of emotion from this piece. Whether it be from the intended meaning behind the production of the song , or my own personal meaning I have inserted into the song as I listen to it. It gives the mind set to rethink myself, whether it mentally, physically, or emotionally.

The lyrics are addictive on first listen alone and I can’t help but to sing along. It has this cynical lesson about relationships that are overwhelming. Also, the

As life is full of trials, obstacles, and inner struggles, these factors test and form character. So what defines an individual’s character? Often times, the meaning of character is lost because it is not a tangible object. Yet, as Willard mentions in his writing called “The Heart in the System of Human Life”, if one cares about his or her “spiritual core- your heart or will - you must first understand it” (Willard 27). Willard exposes a valid point- that every man and woman must set off on a quest to first understand what creates character and then determine who they are. Character is taking one’s natural tendencies and disciplining them under an umbrella of a moral standard. Therefore, an individual's character must include moral discipline,

It made me feel upset with what we have become. To look on homosexual people as outsiders. To make them feel as if they cannot be accepted if they are themselves. That they have to not be homosexual to be accepted and to fit in. It helped me understand that being homosexual is not something you can switch on and off, you are simply born with it. This was the chorus of the song so was repeated several times. This reinforced in my mind the message of what that really means, and made me rethink my stand on people being homosexual as well as gay

While watching the video the first time I paid attention to the lyrics. They were rather sad, as they touch on Van Gogh’s suicide. At first listen I didn’t really care for them because I didn’t understand the meaning behind

It is the story of strange dream and life changing loss. Monahan wrote “Drops of Jupiter” song soon after his mom had passed away following a battle with cancer.

My parents didn’t allow me to date until I was in college, and I dated my first boyfriend in my freshman year. I think I was still too young to have a serious boyfriend at the time, now I look back. Having a first serious boyfriend at the same time trying to adapt to college, it was really difficult and I did not balance my romantic relationship and academic life well. Now that I am applying for graduated school, I think my perspective has definitely changed.

Change or Illusion was a speech for the Black Sash Organization given by a prominent Nobel Peace Prize recipient Desmund Tutu, who is known for his efforts of trying to ease the division in South Africa and helping to end discrimination. Tutus’ main argument in the speech is the state of injustice and oppression he and fellow men alike are subject to endure in there native homeland (35). This is one of the first formal speeches where a speaker has taken the time to combine sarcasm as a tool to mention the perplex system about how to differentiate which public facilities a person can go into (34). Never before in history has a person openly ridicule the random use of discriminating signs.

I like to think that music brings people together in any situation, good or bad. In the moment, songs can make you laugh, cry, and smile, and that’s when you know you have a great song. This song in particular means a lot to me just because it relates to my backstory.
