Flashlight Song Meaning

Gospel music has always been a good outlet for me. It has also spoken to me and gave me answers nothing nor anyone else could. It helps me connect to my roots and remember who to turn to in a desperate time of need. The most important songs have helped through the darkest times in life. One song that stands out to me and lifts me up is Greater is Coming by Jekalyn Carr. This is a song that supports me while going through obstacles, staying optimistic, and overcoming obstacles.

Bruce Springsteen’s song American skin. In the relation to the story, it is a interesting song, it is about weapons, and there will never be justice, as long as there a guns in the world, and this has much relation with the story. He also sings about how easy it is to people, it could be a dad or husband, how it the family handle the situation when the most important person leaves them.

My story has a meaningful story behind it. The story is deep for me and even for the artist and probably for many other people. Hearing songs like this can inspire you. It inspired me to be thankful for the people in my life. One day they can be here the next they could be gone. You never know what’s going on in their lives.

As I think about my senior year, where I have been, where I am going and who I am, I have realized what my theme song should be. It describes me in many different ways.

The song I chose is “It’s Alright, Ma” by Bob Dylan. This song contains many instances of dramatic and verbal irony. Throughout the song Dylan uses contradictions to comment on society and uses wit as well to convey the hypocrisies of society. For instance, Dylan says, “while preachers preach of evil fates, teachers teach that knowledge waits, can lead to hundred-dollar plates…but even the president of the United States sometimes must have to stand naked” (.

“If I Die Young” by the Band Perry has poetic caliber because of its allusions, figurative language, and rhyme scheme.

I chose “Humble and Kind,” by Tim McGraw as my theme song. “Humble and Kind” is a very good song that has very unique lyrics. The song gives advice on how to live. There are many manners in this song that are very important. The song is a parent telling their child how they should live life. It seems that the artist wrote the song on how he wishes he would have acted when he was younger. One of the main messages of this song are that everyone has something in their lives, but you still need to be nice. Some of the lyrics on the song are about the 10 Commandments. Even though we grow up, we still need to remember our manners and how to live life. “Don’t hold a grudge or a chip and here’s why Bitterness keeps you from flying.” This is an example

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.

For my song I have chosen to do “Forever” by Jeff Williams. Jeff Williams is a songwriter that has other musical abilities like being able to play keyboards, guitar, bass, and drums. He is also an Assistant Professor at Berklee College of Music. He wrote this song to accompany a death scene in a web series called Red vs. Blue in the year 2012. He wrote this song for Red vs. Blue because he was the company that makes these videos an official songwriter for the past 3 seasons of the show. It was song by Jeff Williams’s daughter Casey Lee Williams. Therefore the meaning and tone of the song is one that is both deep and significant to people of all ages.

The first song that I have chosen is “White Liar” by Miranda Lambert because this song represents what I went through during my very tragic divorce. Lambert is an American country music artist who co-wrote this song with Natalie Hemby. The song was released in August of 2009. The reason I chose this song is because the words remind me of what I went through when I found out that my husband of six years had been cheating on me and how I felt. Lambert sings, “Hey white liar, the truth comes out a little at a time and it spreads just like a fire.” My husband had been cheating on me and the entire time, I sensed something was wrong, but he continued to tell me that I was wrong. According to him, they were just friends. In reality, I too was also a white liar

There are different kinds of popular music, rock, pop, soul, country, reggae, rap, and dance music. Those are the kind of music that I only recognized before, until my brother introduce me to Christian Music. When I started listening to it, I felt enthralled. Until then, it became part of my life. It fills my car, makes me cry, and sometimes gives me chills the I cannot even explain why.?! One of the song that I really adore is “The Words I Would Say” by Sidewalk Prophets.

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

I chose Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley because it is a very simple song performed by a man and his guitar. What first caught my attention were the lyrics that are telling the biblical story of King David and his affair with Bathsheba. Next, the music was just very serene and calming and it was very clever that in the beginning, he sings ”The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift,” and the notes line up with the singing, this adds to the meaning of the whole song. As Jeff says in the song, these cords are the secret that pleased the Lord. In the biblical story, David is called out for his sin by Nathan, who was directed by God, and King David repented, was punished and forgiven. This could be the minor fall and major life that

If my life were a movie the three songs I would have would be called God,Humble,And Pride,because these three songs describe my life in a soundtrack.These songs would be from 4-8 minutes long and would be the only songs in the movie.The reason I picked these songs influence of who I am in my life.

In the future, I want to be a scientist and find the cure for cancer and make the world a better place. This song represents who I am as a person through music. I chose the song Upside Down by Jack Johnson because it is the song that emits my emotions and
