Shatter Me: Song Analysis

Rimes also performed the song that started it all, “Blue” in a way that shows the maturity of her vocal and music creativity and stylings. Full of emotion Rimes also performed “How Do I Live,” “He Stopped Loving Her Today, “Probably Wouldn’t Be This Way,” and closed with the semi-biographical “What I Cannot Change.” Performing the famed Elton John classic “Rocket Man” as her one and only encore, fans still could not get enough of

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.

Dave Matthews Band’s album Crash was their second major-label release and debatably one of their most popular albums, as well. The band is made up of multiple brilliant musicians consists of the violinist Boyd Tinsley, carter Beauford the drummer, Dave Matthews the main singer, as well as, guitarist, bassist Stefan Lessard, and finally Leroi Moore playing the saxophone (Dmb Tour Members). Dave Matthews Band was started in early 1991 and has only grown bigger and better throughout the years making them a statement band in our society. The twelve song album bounces from upbeat to mellow songs in a perfect blend that fits together so outstandingly.

This song portrays her early mental weakness or low self-esteem given that she appeared to be, “scared to rock the boat and make a mess. So I sit quietly, agree politely. I let you push me past the breaking point. I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything” (AZLyrics, 2013). This is in view of the fact that she was able to gradually convert into a leader fighting with the eye of the tiger that is, “louder than a lion cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar” (AZLyrics, 2013). This maturity targets bravery to grow from their insecurity which pushes a constructive message of strength to everyone. In brief, the role of emotion in her music will, therefore, continue to brings to mind considerable positivity from a psychological

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

As the day winded down, I was able to catch Two Door Cinema Club (a favorite band of mine) before I made my way across the park to catch Grimes. Giving one of the best solo performances I have ever seen, Grimes put so much energy into her performance. Whether it was Jumping across the stage, dancing around, or controlling the soundboard (all on sprained ankles mind you), she kept the crowd entertained. Her rendition of ‘Ave Maria’ was weirdly beautiful, and her catchy pop songs got the entire crowd dancing, standouts include ‘Venus Fly’ and ‘Flesh Without

“Prince was an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and actor, he served as a major figure in popular music for over three decades,” states Evita Gorgorni from Useless Daily. Prince Rogers Nelson was born June 7, 1958, and died April 21, 2016. He self- taught himself to play the piano at seven, guitar at thirteen, and drums at fourteen. Prince has won seven Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe, an Academy Award and sold over 100 million records worldwide. One song of his, “Kiss” was nominated for Favorite Soul/R&B Single, and actually won an award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. The song is important because it tells of a man who is explaining his intentions with a woman. The song displays this by the instruments, lyrics, and arrangement. “Kiss” uses literary terms and is highly recommended rating almost 4 of 5 stars.

I agree with the statement, the best popular musicians treat social and political issues in their song. Macklemore, one of the most famous hip-hop/rap artist’s in the game right now has just come out with a song called White Privilege II fighting for the social issues of black rights. This song speaks out and supports the Black LED organization and anti-racist education & discourse. In the first verse of the song Macklemore says, “No justice, no peace," okay, I'm saying that

Second, another song that I feel best represents transformation is a song entitled “Breaking Point” by Keri Hilson. In this song the singer says that there is a limit to her love. In the song she says that there is a limit to her love. That meaning that shes done with men cheating on her and hurting and that its time to take a stand. In the chorus of the song Keri Hilson repeatedly says that there is a limit to her love. In the video its Keri Hilson and a bunch of other women chanting that their love has a limit. They are finally taking a stand to all the men that her them. I feel that people take other peoples kindness for weakness. Which has happened to me before many times and it doesn’t feel great at all. So, the song is very powerful to

Transition: That is all great but she wouldn’t be able to have such a positive impact if not for her enormously successful music career, so Finally, the most important aspect, her influence on the music industry.

Me. It’s a cryptic name for an album, a word that can mean so much and so little, and for Lorely Rodriguez’s Empress Of project, it’s a fitting title. Me is interesting lyrically, and even more so musically - it’s not exactly an exploration of the self as much as it is an inhabitation. That is, Rodriguez uses her unique identity and experiences to craft balanced, adaptable songs that can be perceived as intellectual or physical art, as food for thought or as primal messages. Me is such a well-rounded and confident record, yet there is a sense of ricketiness to it, as if it has no right to reach this high into the stratosphere; there’s very little wrong with it, though. With Me, Rodriguez has crafted a formidable debut album: it’s a self-assured work that manages to be both experimental and accessible, an album that never fails to please, whether you’re embroiled in thought or swept onto the dancefloor.

Ariel McCullough, Art Education 1600, Autumn 2015, Dr. Smith The Generation of Cynics Green Day is a band that a defined multiple generations. While they are not notorious for their political statements, but more of their wild behaviors, along the way they have made a few songs with some obvious statements about society. One song in particular is very clearly political. This song is called “American Idiot”.

When I was in middle school, I discovered my favorite female artist to this date, Amy Winehouse. I remember I first discovered her while listening to the radio on the way to school. The song “rehab” was playing and from the first note she sang I was entranced by her voice. At the time, I found the song catchy and appealing due to her soulful voice, however I did not pay much attention to the lyrics.

His other song “Thinking Out Loud”, his most successful song hitting number 2 on the Billboard hot 100 and top 20 on the UK singles chart, beautifully displays the feelings of long-lasting love through lyrics such as “When your legs don’t work like they used to before/ And I can’t sweep you off of your feet” and “When my hair’s all gone and my memory fades/ And the crowds don’t remember my name”. This heartfelt song sung with casual electric guitar and piano draws in audiences with its meaningful lyrics and loving emotions that Ed seamlessly weaved into the
