Song Analysis: Pent House Cloud

This song is comprised of 9 food filled stanzas. And no, not the food you eat...food for thought. There is not really a set pattern to these stanzas, though..considering the fact it is still a song..there is kind of a set pattern. It uses repetition for the following lines: If we were made in his image then call by our names, most intellects do not believe in God but they fear us just the same..On and on and on and on my cipher keeps moving like a rolling stone.

Stanzas 1, 3, and 5 have similar structure in that they are written in free

The poem does not follow a rhyme scheme or meter, which means that there is rhythm in the poem and it makes the poem more like a song. The poem has four stanza’s and has five lines within each stanza.

The fourth stanza begins with, We sing sin, a line that can also have multiple meanings. If taken from a paradox angle, the gentleness and innocence of singing contradicts with the literal meaning of sin. This method of verbal irony is what keeps the tone consistently light throughout

In Stanza 1, there is repetition within the lines in order to differentiate the importance

I chose this song based on the kind of person I am. The song represents me by thinking twice, whenever I do something that I might regret I think twice and either do it or not engage in the bad idea. I also have a lot of care for my family, pets, and friends. The song has a calm melody which represents how calm I usually am, and the rhythm is relaxed which also relates to me. Stereo Hearts comments about not leaving behind which I don't really like to be alone unless I'm tired. The song also says, hear my thoughts and every noise, sometimes I like to express my opinions on things, I am a talker. The lyrics are unique just like me, at least I like to think of myself as unique. “This melody was meant for you, to sing along to my stereo” It representing

At first listen, Mystery Song Three was unlike anything I had ever heard. I knew it was loud, I knew it was aggressive, and that was about it. We were challenged with analyzing a mystery song by defining its structure, basic description, expression, and historical and cultural context. Even without knowing anything about the song, you can find these elements just by listening to it.

The first thing we notice is that the poem is written in three lines per stanza in iambic pentameter which means every line has ten syllables and is a sonnet (14 lines). Considering that the narrator is taking a slow and steady walk throughout the night, it gives the readers a set rhythm of his journey which also establishes a sense of desolation. As nothing changes, we begin to be get stuck in his unwavering walk of sadness as he recalls his dark emotions unable to escape this bubble of hopelessness. Even more so, by reading it outloud, we can hear how every stanza has a specific rhyme scheme. The first stanza finishes by “night”, “rain”, and “light”.

Both poems have alliteration. Some of the first lines have alliteration. “Light like a green

In the first stanza, the first speaker states events that happened, but the second speaker has more visuals and gives a sense that the gardens are the same. The first speaker in the second stanza is naming different swivels and is explaining the selection of swivel, while the second speaker is naming a single object, and is describing rather than explaining. In the third stanza, the first speaker is praising the right idea, while using negatives for the bad idea, and the second speaker is describing the qualities of the blossoms by using imagery. The fourth stanza has the first speaker explaining the movement of the bolt using technical terms, while the second speaker is explaining the movement of bees in more descriptive verbs. In the last stanza, the former speaker is using pauses in speech to show differences in the ideas from the different stanzas, but the latter speaker written in a better flowing line, showing the relations between the three ideas of silence, gardens, and bees moving back and forth. While the two speakers use different diction and imagery, they also use different rhythms and sound devices.

The Singer’s clearly felt that Kansas wasn’t truly a place they could call home. For starters, their house seemed to be in the middle of nowhere. No street led to the house, cars having to drive off the side of the highway into a clear route in the woods to reach it. Not that many visited the house, and if anyone did they would surely turn back as soon as they took one glance at the house. The two-story Singer house was intended to be painted a warm blue tone, but seemed to age into a dark navy blue. It seemed as if the house should be abandoned, some windows blocked off by boards of wood, their form of curtains. The townhouse seemed to be in desperate need of a house inspection, few pieces of roof shingle covering the ground surrounding the

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 first use of parallelism is in the first line of the first stanza with the words “unkempt bed, messy desk, and piano bench”. The use of an adjective followed by a noun creates a stronger connection between the places as well as add to the overall flow of the line. The next use of parallelism is in the last line of the first stanza with the words “my room, my house, my school, my car, and my thoughts”. This parallelism, achieved through the use of “my” followed by a noun, allows the places to build upon each other and tie together. The next use of parallelism is in the second line of the second stanza with the words “Same old rice, same old recipes, same old family dinners”. This line uses both anaphora, or the repetition of a phrase at the beginning of a series of worlds, and asyndeton, or the omission of conjunctions in a series of similar phrases. Both the anaphora and the asyndeton help create parallelism within the lines. This again emphasizes the connection between the phrases and gives the line a smoother
