If Heaven Wasn T So Far Away Analysis

This song is worth listening to due to the fact that you can connect it to many other tough situations. The lyrics are quite general, so it does not necessarily have to be about the ending of an intimate relationship. The listener can connect with this song during many other hardships.

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 theme is brought through the song by showing multiple literary devices. Such as “I'm the one at sail, I’m the master of my sea”. This metaphor shows the realization and empowerment that oneself can give in a depressing situation. This simile “Falling like ashes to the ground, Hoping my feelings they would drown” compares his feeling of sadness and depression to ashes, and wanting them to drown and vanish, from his life. This line, “All the hate that you’ve heard has turned your spirit to a dove” explains how all of the hate that he has experienced and gone through has turned his feelings around, and decided to look on the bright side of things. Personally I think this is a great

Far from Heaven is a film about a 1950s period. It deals with some issues such as race, sexuality and class. There is Cathy, the perfect mother and wife married to Frank, the successful and charming man, who works as seals manager in a big company, having the perfect life. Until Cathy, finds that her husband; Frank is a homosexual. She cannot divorce from her husband because she does not want to destruct her marriage. At the same time, she meets with Raymond, and she goes to him for comfort. They spend good time together, but their relationship causes some bad consequences for him and his daughter. On the other side, Frank cannot suppress his desires of homosexuality. When he and his wife went to a holiday, he

It’s about a son who asks for his inheritance early, leaves his home, and wastes all his money on meaningless, sinful things. When he has nothing left and nowhere to sleep he decides to go back to his house to live, and to the son’s surprise, his father graciously accepts him. This song has definitely left its mark artistically, and it’s because of religion and the bible that it did. Keith took a whole parable from the bible and turned it into a song, which was very unique. Even though it is something that has been done in old hymns, it is uncommon to see new Christian songs that come straight from the bible.

Another idea that interested me in the song was the idea of losing someone close to you. Chris demonstrates this idea by singing “And the tears come streaming down your face; When you lose something you can’t replace;When you love someone but it goes to waste.” These lyrics show us the anguish and pain of losing someone you love. The line “tears come streaming down your face” emphasizes the greiving as people will cry and feel misery from losing someone close to them. He then goes on to say “When you lose

1.          Upon entering the bar for the first time, Frank displays many of the motivational theories listed in the book. Frank enters the bar in order to find a place for his homosexual preferences to be shown. Instinctually he prefers men to women and is driven into the dark alley and the bar by this biologically determined need. We learn from his wife’s reaction when the girls are having daiquiris that she and Frank are not having sex very often which according to the book is a basic need, so Frank according to the drive-reduction approach is driven to the bar to fulfil himself. This lack of sex that he is having at home also can lead to the application of the Arousal approach to motivation where Frank is trying

Lyrics: Ben Gibbard lists off a bunch of stuff that exists (i guess), then he talks about death a bit. So, not really all that deep or relatable.

I can relate to this song in numerous ways. Here are a few examples, In the song’s lyrics it says “I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero till the end of the night.” These verses can relate to me because it tells how she is going to wait for an good person in life to be with and I feel like I will do the same. “Up where the mountains meet the heavens above, out where then sunlight splits the sea I swear someone is watching me.” This relates to me because I will always have my sister watching over me, loving me, and protecting me. The next example is the last example I am going to give today, “Someone just beyond my reach there’s someone reaching back to me.” I can really feel sympathy for this part of the lyrics, I know God is always reaching

Dead to me is kinda a dark song in away but the message isn’t as dark as it seems. Along with the actual video has a message like almost every music video. The part of the chorus to the song that says “I’ve got to kill you that’s the only ,way to get you out of my head.” is saying ‘I need to forget about you.’ or ‘I need to get over you.’. That is what this song is about.

This is my longer analysis of the Kingdom of Heaven. Appreciate any feedback. [SPOILER WARNING]

Heaven Is For Real by Lynn Vincent and Todd Burpo is a book about a little boy named Colton’s astonishing story regarding his trip to heaven. Colton’s father, Todd Burpo, is pastor of a small church in rural Nebraska with a wife and three kids. Todd wanted to have a peaceful, stable, and a happy family life, but due to many circumstances out of his control, quite the opposite occurred. It all started when he shattered his ankle/shin while playing baseball. This greatly impacted his garage door installation business which caused significant financial concern. All of this seemed minor compared to what was yet to come. His youngest son, Colten, was unusually sick for a long period of time, and doctors couldn’t seem to figure out what the problem

The images used in the video are effective in sending a message to others to stay strong even through difficult times. It shows that there may be light at the end of the tunnel if you have faith and never give up. In the video the mom, Amy, has to leave her home with two children and nowhere to go. They are seen sleeping in their vehicle and bathing in a public restroom. The mother is seen looking over at the church as if she were saying a prayer for God to help her. In the song it describes how she is looking to her faith to keep her strong with “I’ll pray ‘til Jesus rolls away the stone” (Dierks Bentley 19). Amy doesn’t give up and continues to send her children to school. They go on as if nothing has happened. She is seen asking for shelter at a facility only to get turned away, because there are no rooms available. She applies for food stamps and gets approved. She is able to get food and the daughter smiles as the mom walks back to the vehicle with the grocery bags. She goes back to the shelter and finally gets a room for her and the children. She is showing that she didn’t give up and by doing so she can get back on her feet. The images connect every word of the song to the video and make it very effective in showing ways Amy stayed strong and never gave

The Kingdom of Heaven is an epic film directed and produced by Ridley Scott, and written by William Monahan, filmed in Morocco. The story of the Kingdom of Heaven is set during the Crusades of the 12th century, and is basically about the life of Balian, a French blacksmith, who defends the Kingdom of Jerusalem against the Muslims and reclaims the city from the Christians. In this story, I could travel back in time to experience life during the era of the Crusades and learn more about the perspective of duty between the Christians and Muslims.

Regardless of how one feels about Kingdom of Heaven in terms of its quality, the film undoubtedly takes a unique approach in its portrayal of the crusades. Although some critics have bemoaned the film for its historical inaccuracies and the way in which it presents Islam, such detractors are excessively dogmatic in their baseless scrutiny. In addition to their assessment of Kingdom of Heaven being unfounded, they fail to understand one of the broader notions expressed, which is the view that morality is not black and white: individuals are capable of doing both good and evil. This key theme shown throughout the movie is especially compelling since it not only applies to the Crusades but also to the modern world.
