The song I will be analyzing is “Innermission” performed by Logic ft. Lucy Rose and produced by 6ix and Logic. This song a slow-beat melody to it and it’s a song to remind the listeners to be thankful for what you have. This song is about how he want to find himself and he is comparing it to a interstellar mission, dub the title “innermission”. The producers smoothly convey figurative language devices throughout the song to help emerce the listener and also help spread his message of peace, love, and positivity. Some people may argue of what the most inportant theme is but I think the best theme is to be grateful for what you have, even if it's just memories.
Like I said, Logic and 6ix have some figurative devices in the song that I feel helps
Most of the time, when we listen to a song, we don’t listen to the words, or what message they are trying to give us. Each song out there has a message in the lyrics somewhere. For this assignment, we were to analyze a song and the lyrics and find the thesis of that song. With thesis, I mean what the message within the song is trying to tell us. The song “I hope you dance” by Lee Ann Womack has a good thesis in some ways, but the thesis could also be argumentative also.
When the song came out in 2015, I was in the midst of graduating and truly coming to terms with the person I am. Going through this period of self-realization, the lyrics “You can't rush your healing/Darkness has its teachings/Love is never leaving/You can't rush your healing” (II. 19-22) really went to show me that the hard times I was going through were placed in my way as learning experiences. Listening to the mellow tunes of this song had such powerful repercussion on my mood as well. Not only the content of the words, reassuring me that everything will pass, but the actual vibrations of sound forced me into a meditative/healing state of
In St Lucy’s girls raised by wolves by Karen Russell. Some wolf girls got taken to school to learn to be human. Some of the girls were able to change and graduate and some did not graduate. In the passage Mirabella was not able to adapt to the human environment. She was mean, selfish, and crazy. Have you ever known someone who didn’t try hard enough to pass?
Every song I’ve heard can to connected to a memory in my life. It doesn’t have to be an important memory; certain songs flash images of the radio playing while driving down highways or hearing a song playing in the background of a commercial. Others inspire memories like times I’ve danced with my family, or covered songs with friends. These are the memories I will hold on to forever, and I’ll do it through these
One and the other “St. Lucy’s” and The Native Americans had to learn and memorize a new way of life. “There was repression on tribal languages” states Brenda J. Child author of “Boarding School Seasons: American Indian Families, 1900-1940”, this happened to the Native Americans by surprise they did not think the early Americans repress their language, leaving the Indians unhappy(boarding schools). The nuns in “St. Lucy’s” taught the girls how to speak and write english, the girls did not enjoy learning this but in the end they learned it (“St. Lucy’s”). “Europeans enforced there own rules and regulations among the American Indians culture” says Dr. C. Blue Clark of Oklahoma City University School of Law(assimilation). Much like this the girls in “St.
In Logic’s album, he creates a universal theme of peace, love, and positivity that flows throughout the songs and lyrics he writes, and this universal theme encourages listeners to be the best version of themselves. As listeners listen to the lyrics that Logic has created, they are immediately touched with an overwhelming fear of sadness and excitement. This sadness stems from the personal and universal problems of racism and discrimination, while the excitement stems from the
For example, “In your bare feet In mid-January” most people when they think mid-January they think snow and having to wear many layers of clothing because it is really cold, but the singers purpose of juxtaposing January and bare feet is to tempt the audience with a promise of a relaxing, warm, and amazing alternative. In other words why be cold and miserable when you can be warm and happy, with your toes in the sand even in the winter. This is a metaphor for why live a stressful life when you have options to change it. Another example is, “Swimming in the mystery” which might refer to the Pacific Ocean that is a vast body of ocean. The singer’s purpose is to tell his audience that they have to have to take a leap of fate even though it can be scary, like the vast ocean. Changing your life for the better should always be a choice you should chose because it is for your own benefit. In the music video it shows a portrait of Jesus Christ, who was resurrected, and a body of water, where Jesus Christ was baptized, this can be symbolic for rebirth, something that the singer probably wants. The audience knows this because of the conveniently placed objects throughout the
Masks portray a sense of mystery. “No one could see me clearly. No one could see my face.” Lucy, Grealy. Masks. Print. The unknown is often intriguing. Generally their worn to portray a character or someone other than yourself and symbolize an imaginary life. For Lucy, it portrayed a sense of freedom. The freedom from being stared at, teased, lonely, and occasionally envious of others. Halloween is the only day that Lucy experience’s an ordinary life. Unlike the majority of other days’ mask are customary and her disability is masked. Providing her with the confidence to express herself freely by asking questions and making comments. “Studies show children with disabilities are two to three times more likely to be bullied than their non-disabled
The song chosen was appropriate because of the lyrics and tone. The lyrics reflected someone getting caught up in a storm and having a very difficult time like Krakauer. The song’s tone is somber and melancholy, reflecting how many of the climbers felt during the incident. The only issue with the sounds is that it is country and that it doesn’t blend well with the book. However the writing and tone of the song fit very well.
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.
The song I am choosing to analyze is “Streets of Philadelphia” by Bruce Springsteen. The lyrics project isolation and struggle through the use of pathos and juxtaposition as a way to bring attention to homophobia in America. The video showcases the differences between race and the stigma surrounding people with AIDS. It’s really impactful and makes us think about the importance of breaking down those barriers and promoting acceptance and compassion. Bruce Springsteen was asked to make a song for the film “Philadelphia.”
when listening to the songs, the low pitched male voice drifted into the ear, and the pictures hits my mind, which are dance, tears and memories. “City of stars, there’s so much that I can’t see”. When the last imaginary disappears, everything was just like a dream. “Who knows, is this the start of something wonderful and new, or one more dream that I cannot make true”? Once dreams meet the reality, people will awake from their dream and face the real situation. Through the lyrics and the music tone, it leaves the significant memory for the audience and draws people into the sadness love story. The lyrics bring people go depth into the storyline and makes people think more about the internal meaning of the film. I think the songs really fits to the movie. Hearing the songs will bring back the movie scenes, and due to the movie’s storyline, the music in the film become extraordinary important and make people feel really
For somebody who is not invested in artistic outlets, I absolutely love music. I like all kinds of music, from country to rap to today’s hits and Billboard’s Top 40. However, the only genre I will never grow tired of, and the one I have loved since a young age, is classic rock. There are a few classic rock songs that I relate so strongly to, and at times I could swear they were written just for me. No song reflects how I have felt more about my senior year though, than “Eclipse” by the band Pink Floyd. Senior year is a transitional part of my life, and it cannot be described in just one definite way. To reflect this, I selected a song that has no definite meaning.
I remember writing a speech in English class in high school about human behavior on happiness. In this paper I wrote, “I think we spend too much time contemplative on the undesirable certainties of our past and we become so blinded by all the good things that are happening around us.” The song Eternal Sunshine is written by Jhenè Aiko; in this song she reaches out for something more intimate like disturbing memories hidden deep within her mind. This specific music video takes you through a series of events from Jhenè’s past, stressing the presence of thoughts we put aside when surrounded by people, things we only think about when we are in a dark place in life, and concealed in eternal thoughts. Throughout the video, Jhenè’s body is arising from the ground while her potentially fatal car accident is vividly reenacted behind her along with good remembrances from her childhood.
The second song I analyzed was “Paradise” by Coldplay. Similarly to “Kids”, the song “Paradise” starts with the idea of childhood. “When she was just a girl she expected the world. But it flew away from her reach so she ran away in her sleep and dreamed of paradise” is the opening verse for this tune. It talks of a young girl with big dreams expecting the world. As the girl in the song grows up she finds that life is not as simple as she believed. “Life goes on, it gets so heavy. The wheel breaks the butterfly. Every tear a waterfall. In the night the stormy night she'll close her eyes.” Those lyrics are a good example of how life has some downs, tears, and storms, but it talks of how the girl stays positive when the song says, “She’d say, ‘I know the sun must set to rise.’” I think this song is a good reflection of me. I have big dreams for myself, but as life goes on I go through some bumps in the road. I have encountered many of my own stormy nights, but I know the sun will rise to a clearer and brighter day in time. I have learned not to expect things to be handed to me, but to chase after my dreams, and my own perfect paradise to a path of success.
