Lay Me Down Music Analysis

The music throughout the performance is by The Rolling Stones. The first song, “Little Red Rooster” is very laid back and lazy sounding. It has a slow but consistent tempo throughout the song. The second song, “Lady Jane” has a very slow tempo. This is possibly because it contains lots partner work. The third song, “Not Fade Away” is significantly faster than the previous songs. There is also lots of clapping in time with the music which gives it a kind of celebratory feel. The fourth song, “As Tears Go By” once again has a slow tempo. It has a very relaxed feel at the same time as being sad. This assists in developing the choreographers’ intent because in this section the female dancer is being rejected. The fifth song, “Paint it Black” is where the first costume change takes

Have you ever felt the feeling of never being loved? $uicideboy$ talk about killing themselves in the song “Leave Your Things Behind II.” Their music represents the rap genre, which is both hype and depressing rap. Not being loved can can hurt someone, it can drive someone to kill themselves.

By creatively employing various literary devices and sophisticated figurative language, and relying immensely on witty word-play and double- at some instances even triple- entendre coupled with an intricate rhyme scheme, Lupe Fiasco, dubbed by some as the king of trickiness rap, takes a firm stance against those who constantly attempt to prevail on him to simplify his lyrics to comply with the current hip-hop stereotypes which could in turn improve his prospects for commercial success. Lupe Fiasco elaborated on the song on “The late show With David Letterman” by saying “ 'Dumb It Down' looks at how musical entertainment as a whole is used as a distraction, as a tool, to keep people dumb, instead of focusing on real issues and solutions.”

Music has played a large role in my life for some time, now. My musical interests vary, greatly as I try to appreciate each and every song equally. I believe this because I know that each artist creates this work of art which takes a great deal of time and effort. With that being said my ten songs, for the most part, a bit different from one another, but they are each very special to me in their own way. I would place these songs in the ‘indie’ category. My older sisters introduced me to this genre of music at a young age. I appreciate them for this because I would not listen or know the songs I cherish now, without them exposing it to me. I chose these songs because of that reason. Both of my sisters, Cristine and Gabriela, have been great

The music industry has undeniably evolved over time and through the betterment of technology, music has the ability to be heard worldwide. Most artists become popularized through the internet and social media, but numerous composers have become well-known through the music they produce for movies. Soundtracks are extremely popular today, especially with the ever growing entertainment industry. One cannot simply hum a tune from a classic Disney film or any other well-known film without others recognizing the piece. The relevance of soundtracks in our culture today would make the main theme from the film “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly” a perfect piece to include in this course.

Wazzam...Yeet... Take an L. What the heck do these words even mean? Generation by generation, language shifts and words take on new interpretations causing these words to be the "superlative" words and more confusing than ever. Why does this happen? Because, teens want to "fit in," and social media has become such a major influence on youth that it is as if social media is their third parent. Famous singers now a days are not afraid to drop in f-bomb in their songs because music has evolved to accommodate the utilization of cuss words. The N-word, which was use to dehumanize and break down a human race, has transformed to mean my pal or my family and only said among African Americans themselves. People utilize language in such a way that

In my viewpoint, everyone was preparing for the day in which they should give the answers. every group should have one response form the clues that they have. Each pair had different answers, which were wrong except judge Ford and Sandy. however, they decided to give no answer to protect Westing's ex-wife in page (138). Crow was worried because she felt that they will know about her in page (139). When they shared their responses, Sydelle was the closest one to the answer because of the words song in page (145). However, she chose the wrong person from the song, which was Otis Amber in page (146). Then, judge Ford gave them time to give another answer individually in page (148). They sat watching each other to think who the answer is. Wile

Art is in its purest sense, humanity collectively trying to impress, relate, and grow with one another and themselves. Music is the art form that embodies all the greater characteristics from other art forms, and puts them into one. In the words of Frank Zappa “Art is how we decorate space, Music is how we decorate time.” Music carries the ability to paint pictures, tell stories, and even showcase the time period they came from.

I chose this particular experiment to see what my mind would allow me to draw based on the way the music sounded. I thought this would be a cool experiment to see how I feel when different music is playing and how I interpret the music I hear into a drawing.

Just as Russell Simmons had established Def Jam with legendary (and one of my personal favorite) producer Rick Rubin and changed the face of hip-hop music, another shake up was on its way. Russell Simmons became hip-hop’s first mogul through the establishment of Run D.M.C, LL Cool J, the Beastie Boys and others. He was prominent in changing not only the production of rap music but the sound as well. Using the drum machine and often times no other instruments, he created the sound that was in his head and took off running, seemingly never slowing down. He and Run D.M.C were the first individuals to show there was branding power in hip-hop simply by what they wore. The infamous Adidas with no shoe laces are a staple of rap music, still to

The Vietnam war was a major event to America because it had major conflicts with personal opinions of the people of 1960’s. In this era, plenty of people were rethinking on why they were fighting in a war that they did not need to be fighting. and joined the anti-war movement. This can explicitly be seen from the type of music that people were listening to at the time. The song that I am going to be analyzing is “Paint it Black” by the Rolling Stones. This song resonated with the persona of the people for multiple reasons because it was a song that was about losing a loved one and dealing with the sadness.
