Song Analysis Of 'RedRed Wine'

Many people think that the poem A Song, by Helen Maria Williams, is just a love letter when, in fact, it is more of an expression of her relationship with her inspiration of writing.

In the song Faded by Alan Walker.the person in love wants to see themselves alive ,but their love is fading and soon is gone and is wondering where that other went and is lost and feels lonely. Example: ”you were the shadow to my light Did you feel us Another start You fade away Afraid our aim is out of sight Wanna see us Alive”. Example- ” I'm faded So lost I’m faded”. The theme is shown in the song faded by showing it in the literary devices.

This song is a wakeup call for America to set a better example for the next generation. People are hurting other people. Some are paranoid of what will happen next. Life should not be scary, but there are people afraid to walk out and be among the chaos. Everybody is against one another, and they are not willing to compromise. “It’s time we stop” and look at what we are doing and what has become of us. There are wars for ignorant reasons, there are people hurting, there are innocent children watching, WAKE UP AMERICA! The riots and wars are not worth all of this pain and suffering.

“Crazy Blues” by Noble Sissle is a cover of the song originally written by Perry Bradford. This timeless piece of history was first recorded on August 10th, 1920 by Mamie Smith and later released on as a vinyl record by Okeh Records.3 Smith’s version of the song was wildly successful, selling 75,000 copies in the first month following its release. Within a year, the record had sold over a million copies, and in all, two million copies were purchased.4 After its incredible success, recording companies rushed to record other African American singers. Noble Sissle’s version was recorded later that same year, and had similar success. Despite the large quantity of blues recordings during the 1920’s, “Crazy Blues” is considered the first successful blues song recorded by an African American artist.9 Ironically, “Crazy Blues” is considered more of a popular song than a blues song despite many references to “blues” throughout the track. Nevertheless, this song paved the way for black music makers into a then predominately-white recording industry, and quickly after its release, a market for black music emerged. Perry Bradford, who wrote “Crazy Blues”, also persuaded several record companies to invest in a music market specifically for blacks.9 After record companies realized the lucrativeness of selling “race

The song God Bless the USA by: Lee Greenwood bestows a message of unity and love towards the United States of America. The message of this song shows that the American dream means working hard and fighting for our country. America is an outstanding country that has pride and loyalty embedded in the heart and foundation. The tone of the song is pride, which captures the sprit of the United States of America citizens. Tone is heard throughout the song especially in the chorus; “God Bless the USA”(Greenwood Line 16). Pride is another important element in creating tone in God Bless the USA; “That I’m proud to be an American”(Greenwood Line 25). I choose this song because I grew up listening to it with my father who fought for our country. I think

This song was written during what was hoped to be an ending point for the war, and directly refences an event that had happened earlier that year. This event was Operation Homecoming, dated February 12, 1973, which was supposed to bring home almost 600 prisoners of war. However, it’s main point is the inability of soldiers returning from war to re-adjust to domestic life. It worked to emphasize the terrible illness many soldiers were going through, and to further condone the return of American troops. This song, while not terrible popular, succeeded in reaching those who were willing to protest the war and empathize with the returning veterans, especially the African Americans who were disproportionately hurt in the

As The Star Spangled Banner is heard through the speakers of the football stadium, pride fills the hearts of all the Americans while they stand tall. The sole purpose that the song was written was to get America through a time of war and to instill a sense of strength and pride. The songs main focus is on the star spangled banner or the American flag. When people think of America they picture the red, white, and blue flag with the fifty stars. The American flag gives America something that represents them and that is why they wave the flag around proudly when given the chance. That very same pride that fellow Americans get when waving the flag is the same pride that Francis Scott Key felt as he seen the flag flying over Fort Henry. These following lines of The Star Spangled Banner is proof that Americans should be proud to live in America, “What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last

This is talking about the bravery of the soldiers and how they were the best of the best who will fight for the oppressed. It starts to go into a story. A wife is at home waiting for her husband to return home, but he sadly dies defending the people who are oppressed. His last wish is to make his son the best of the best Green Beret. “Her Green Beret has met his fate. He has died for those oppressed,” is an important lyric to the song because it means the soldier died for the persecuted. “Leaving her his last request. Put silver wings on my son's chest. Make him one of America's best,” is a key part to the story because the man who died wants his son to be great and wants him to go to war too. This song is pro-war because the writer is proud of the Green Berets bravery and honors them very much. It makes people have gratitude for the soldiers and for the soldiers to have pride in themselves for defending a

Many seem to think that “Born in the U.S.A.” is an extremely patriotic song in which Springsteen is almost proclaiming how proud he is to be an American but this is far from reality. The song actually deals with the Vietnam War and the suffering that occurs when veterans come back home. One of Springsteen’s verse makes this scene quite a real one for us as listeners, “Come back home to the refinery/ Hiring man said "son if it was up to me/ Went down to see my V.A. man/ He said "son, don 't you understand"” (Springsteen). This particular verse deals with the struggle that many veterans had when they came back home and began looking for jobs.

Following up along the lines of justice and injustice situations is the suffering in Black America and how we are fighting a war that may not be a winnable war like something that is consecutive and may not be able to win especially after the injustice killings being done to the black people around America. With the song, Lamar points at the fact that black people will never win this war and all we can do is fight and work hard for the money that we sorely deserve and need. Black Americans have been fighting the freedom war that was a literal Civil War in the 19th century. Then in the 20th century with Jim Crow laws, it became freedom fighting in the context of prejudice and racism. Now, in the 21st century, racism often takes a more covert

The song highlights these peoples’ views in regard to the war, by illustrating the immense urge to not go and fight, that “it ain’t me”. I feel as if this song shows us a turning point in the US government’s approach to the war itself. With its release closely following Nixon’s silent majority speech, the song was able to go against what Nixon said by screaming to the American people that we as a country need to end this conflict, despite whatever our elected officials

As this quote explains, each American sings the song that belongs to them and their career. They sing it with pride and joy knowing that they feel safe and strong. Giving them hope for a new day and a new beginning. They are able to working knowing they are going to get paid for their hard work. Each individual able

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.

As the power of a song resides completely in its lyrics, it is no longer surprising that music can be healing, inspiring, or even motivating. After introducing this insight to my life, it became very rare for me to listen to any Imagine Dragons’ song without it leaving an impact on my life and my perspectives. Imagine Dragons is a rock band whose music tends to address both personal and social issues. It’s Time, one of their biggest hits and most influential songs, was written by the band’s lead singer Dan Reynolds during a difficult time in his life. “ I was not very happy with who I was, I guess, and I wanted to make some changes” says the singer in an interview with Purevolume , in which he addresses It’s Time as a poem he wrote to express

The song “Kote” which literally means ‘a policeman’ is basically about men who cheat on their wives and how the police must treat them. With lines like Koti mepa wo kyɛw bo me kunu no ma me ei sika a yɛbɛdi no, ɔde akɔ ma ne mpena , Tripple M is basically asking the policeman to beat the husband because he has gone to give the little house keeping money to his girlfriend. To intensify the hatred for such men, Triple M ask the policeman to slap the husband very hard because he has made their lives miserable. I find this song really interesting because considering the time it was released, cheating on wives was no “big deal”. As a result, there was gross marital infidelity on the parts of men. No wonder this song became a hit as women especially those in these situations found their voices in the song.
