I Am A Writer Of The World Through Writer 's Eyes

Imagine entering into another universe where you can freely express yourself in ways people can understand you and would actually be around to listen, feeling like you have all the time in the world because it all seems so important? Writing and listening music can become one's temporary escape to all of his or her issues and a relief by using words that describe how he or she feels. I myself follow this pastime and feel very relaxed in the process as time seems nonexistent.

Writing makes me feel free from my mind and put all my thoughts and feelings into it. It feels calm and soothing when you write. I remember when I was little we always had to write our stories in cursive which always helped me to remember things like my vocabulary. I want to improve on my grammars and my words in the future ahead of me, which will take me to the higher roads of writing. I can say what I want to say and express myself without the fear of being judged. Those who'd judge my writing have no right to read it. I write to perforate my emotion and escape the cruel. Writing is my art form, and I will do it whether it is appreciated by others or not. Writing is a therapy for me to keep us writers alive and communicate and share each

As has been said many times over, songs are a reflection of society. They give insight into feelings, moods, historical changes, and the overall atmosphere of the society. Our American society is diverse and so too is our music. There are many genres of music and there were many evolutions to create those genres. Further, what happens in society, the historical changes, also effect those changes.

I've always enjoyed writing but think it a myth that if you enjoy writing you're naturally a good writer. I have found that sometimes writing comes hard for me since I cannot peg down my ideas just as I want them or lynch that word that was on the 'tip of my tongue'. I enjoy writing when I do it it throws me up in heaven and leaves me there, excepting when I reread the piece and think it scandalous.

One of the things I feel very strongly about is writing. I like how you can say whatever you want knowing that it is your opinion. You have freedom over what you say. Some things that are written could be seen as controversial, but in the scheme of things, most of what is said is okay because at the end of the day you have the right to freedom of speech. Personally writing is an escape from life, whether it is full of pain, sadness, chaos, or just plain boredom. A few years ago my imagination was bright. It held quite a bit of good ideas, but somewhere along the way to now I lost most of that ability to think of the most random plot lines or ideas to write about. My creativity slowly burned out, kind of like a candle. Then one morning not too

While I believed my writing to be concise, yet thorough in the beginning of the semester, it became clear to me that that was not the case. When entering EN3414, I had no knowledge of critical theories or how to use secondary sources to enhance my argument instead of carry it. I believed my heavy sentence phrasing to be an asset instead of a way to bury my argument beneath long thoughts. In EN3414, I was able to focus on taking my papers straight to my argument, to avoid useless sources or let them lead the paper instead of letting my argument carry the essay. And because I have learned to revise and rewrite my papers as many times as possible before they are due, I can no acknowledge the parts of my essay that are too heavy or that need to be expanded upon. As I finish this course I feel my writing is clear and concise, stating an idea and following that argument throughout the paper.

What makes a great song? Is it the words or the verses? Is it how every line is beautifully rhymed? Is it how a song is wonderfully metaphorical? Is it the singer itself? It could be all that was mentioned, honestly. But not all songs have words and verses. Think about the classical songs we have - Bach, Mozart, Beethoven; not a single word can be heard from their composition but they're great. Think about the songs that are not rhymed at each line or not rhymed at all; but each word is perfectly laid in breathtaking musical pieces - and they're great. Not all songs are metaphorical. Some lyricists prefer being literal than figurative - which results to a song easier to comprehend for those who aren't familiar with deeper meanings behind

in, every song is created with intent and it is important to look at how those

Even the simplest of songs have a focus (example: Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry, Be Happy".) Once you understand what it is you're trying to say, the rest should fall into place. How many times have you heard that the best songs tell stories? This is because the songwriter had a good "plot" in mind. Casting: Instruments Just as casting directors are skilled at placing the right actors in certain roles (most of the time), songwriters must determine which instruments will work best for particular parts of a song. To carry off an aggressive sound, strong instruments (think heavy guitars, coarse percussion) might be used. On the other hand, delicate ballet pieces are often filled with flutes and other light instrumentation. The instruments themselves serve as the voices for the musical piece. This is why people are so fond of remixes---just the way filmgoers enjoy seeing remakes of their favorite movies and television programs. The bottom line is that the various types of sounds created by different instruments are what make up the texture of a song. Just as one needs a set of characters to complete a film, a songwriter needs instruments to voice his/her ideas. Dialogue/ Script: Lyrics What's being said in a song is perhaps even more important than the landscape it's

The musical field has always held a great interest to me. Since I was young I knew I would find a career in this field. When I listened to music I would always focus more on the background musical elements rather than the lyrics themselves. I would note how well the beat and lyrics coexisted with each other. Just the aspect of how someone could translate lyrics into a working beat and create a product that would be a perfect blend of lyrics and musical elements.

My passion for music really didn’t kick in until I wrote my first song. I had been playing guitar for about 6 years, but until my pen hit the paper I never experienced how cathartic music can be. It allowed me to escape from the crazy and stressful world and bleed everything I was feeling onto the page or over the strings. I have written close to 40 songs and each one has a special place in my heart for a specific time in my life. The stories I tell in my songs allow me to step into the shoes of someone else, or perhaps make my own fit just a little more snug. I like to find energetic riffs and sometimes quirky lyrics that inspire me to look at life a differently or find value in things or moments that are normally overlooked. As I build my following I hope to give listeners what my songs have given me—a three minute hiatus from everything else. Hopefully that three minutes can last them a life time.

I think it depends on the individual choice. In today’s audience, it is no secret that vocal music dominates overall. When we listen to vocal music, the mood of the song can have you feeling one way and suddenly have you feeling another way. Eminem’s song “Stan” is a perfect example. The song has a fan writing a letter to Eminem. In the beginning, he tells Eminem how much of a big fan he was to him and has been trying to get it contact with him, while also telling him about his life and feeling sorry about the loss of one of Eminem relatives, but by the end of the song he is hurt and mad that Eminem never responded to him. Unfortunately, he takes his and his child’s mother life. The lyrics can take you up and down in vocal music. Online radio

In my opinion, a song can not be described as a jumble of noises and words put together, as a song is so much more. It is truly a sequence of melodies, harmonies and vocals that work together to create a masterpiece. This idea is clearly demonstrated in Sam Smith’s masterpiece, “Lay Me Down”. At the very beginning of the song, soft yet prominent notes of piano can be heard in the background, as Sam Smith’s falsetto voice sings the song lyrics gently. When he does this it creates a very quiet and intimate effect. As the song progresses, slight hints of drums are added and the tempo begins to pick up. The lyrics are then sung with plenty of power and strength at the bridge, to accompany the moving instrumentals. The beautiful

My greatest enemy is the American Education System. I could talk for hours about how flawed, corrupt, unjust, behind, and untruthful American schools are, yet I could not for the life of me write about how I truly feel. Knowledge, wisdom, and passion are by far my favorite attributes in a person, and I am constantly searching for someone who possesses these three qualities so I can finally have a fulfilling conversation. The closest things I have to passionate people are my books. Gabriel García Márquez, Jane Austen, Nicholas Kristof, Madeleine L’Engle, Rick Riordan, Harper Lee, Betty Smith, Lois Lowry, and so many more have enabled me to think beyond myself, to explore alien ideas, and to think creatively. I am jealous of all those who can create. They are able to explain themselves while I cannot. Often, I get trapped in my own mind and I desperately search for some sort of release. I am fooled into thinking writing can be my form of release, but I have been conditioned to follow a strict set of guidelines that cause me to write for someone other than myself. I am afraid of being imperfect and exposing myself to those around, as I often fear rejection. me because I fear rejection. All too often I conceal my real voice and my real opinions underneath a blanket of self-doubt and the pressure to conform. Writing, and more specifically creating, has become a chore rather than pleasure, and all I want to blame is how I was taught.

The music can’t live in the lines it was given. It needs to explore, to be changed and rewritten. Don’t people live the same? We’re given certain expectations and yet some break free and create something new entirely. Each song is a finger print, there may be similarities but there is something unique about each one. There is something about this uniqueness that brings out something in humans. Something is sparked when a chord is struck. Something that drives us forward. For some music has changed their life. They used music as an escape from an abusive relationship, or a drug abuse. Some used it to push forward. They use it to learn to walk or speak through the use of Music therapy.
