Steve Perry Faithfully Song Analysis

I chose this song because, in my opinion, it has a good thesis that backs up the song lyrics and it gives you a positive feeling. Basically, the song is telling us to always keep our faith and stay strong no matter what. It encourages people to

Particular words he chooses throughout the song, like "Indigos" (18), have symbolism attached to them. He metaphorically describes

Ross instantly sung the exact words to the song, almost identical to the singer's. "Not to hard to see that a Cali girl is what I need." A tint of pink flowered my cheeks. He's not singing about you or to you, he's singing at you prove a point. I shook myself out of it.

but I'll be close behind, I'll follow you into the dark”. To conclude, this song has much more meaning to me than just its lyrics.

George Straits daughter was killed in a car crash in 1986 when she was just 13. When most people see this song they immediately think that it is a love song and in a way, it is, but I think that this could maybe not be a song addressed to a significant other but rather to his daughter. This could be a possibility in his intention for this song. Yes, the song may sound worldly when he is telling her how to get to him, but when he tells her “cut a path across the blue skies, straight in a straight line you can’t get here fast enough.” Maybe he is trying to talk to his daughter again and wants her to seemingly fly down from heaven to him so he can see her once more. This would also explain why he misses her so much, maybe it’s his little girl who died who he is writing to. In many of his other songs George talks about Dallas and always sings about Dallas, perhaps in this song when he talks about her leaving Dallas to return to him he is thinking of Dallas as his form of heaven. So, he is begging his daughter to come from Dallas which is his representation of heaven, to come back to him if at all possible. This is the only variation I can think of for the lyrics: instead of the thought of it being toward his wife or lover it may be for his daughter who passed away in a car

The artist wants the audience to feel his substantial affection for Delilah, and how it is unchanging even though they are separated by distance. He appeals to the audience’s emotions of admiration, compassion, and longing for another person. The artist does this by singing about his extensive love for Delilah, which may lead people to think of someone they themselves care deeply about, or an example of love in their life.

The vocal and harmony in the song sounded both familiar and fresh, with a hint of rock embedded in the overall country-rock style. It was a song that instantly became a favorite of mine once I heard it. I was resonated by this song, even though I could not tell my exactly feeling at that time, and I did not know it was Need You Now by Lady Antebellum until I searched the lyrics afterwards. One might be dumbfounded by how such an American country band could resonate a high school student in the other hemisphere, but it was a true manifestation of how Lady Antebellum could captivate listeners, regardless of their background and familiarity with music. In this paper, I shall analyze how Lady Antebellum have been an influential and unique country music group, with references to their musical influences and how they have

The song is written about an attractive woman that appeals highly to Robert Plant. He speaks of the way she moves and her physical appearance in a very sexual

This is saying that the author wants to physically worship God. They want to physically feel His heartbeat.

In the third stanza, the speaker is brought back to reality. He's still drawn to the scene, evidenced by the way he notes the quietness of the country after hearing the harness bells shake. Although he's considered the needs of his horse to take journey towards home, he can't easily draw himself away from the beauty of the

Your first thought is the love between the couple is toxic and lethal yet, he cannot resist his partner. But, really it is a reference to Cocaine. Cocaine is given a female voice. He uses personification by bringing the drug to life, where it can communicate with him and become part of his life. He knows that this “girl” meaning, Cocaine is going to be the death of him. While in use of Cocaine he gets numb. “But at least we’ll both be beautiful and stay forever young/ This I know, (yeah) this I know” (3-4). You say again, that he is singing about how the love is so very satisfying. But he is actually meaning that his desire for this young and beautiful woman makes him feel good. He feels as if he is invincible when he has her. Even though he seems to be aware of the consequences that come with feeling young and beautiful; with the use of Cocaine. “She told me, ‘Don’t worry about it.’/ She told me, ‘Don’t worry no more.’/ We both knew we can’t go without it/ She told me you’ll

“Never, Never, Never, Never, letting go/Never giving up, Never saying no/Just go, go, I never stop/I never think/To do, do, do, the right thing/I want to go/I want to fight/I want to rush/I want to run/I want to see you again/Under the setting sun/We will kiss/We will laugh/We will be a part/Of what is said to be/A union of the heart”

In alternative pop music, numerous people would mistake the song’s rhythm as a light and calming love song rather than recognizing the lyrics as meaningful. Although Hozier’s song seems to be a simple love song, it has a deeper meaning that encourages the listeners to think about relationships. The first part of the first stanza illustrates how the rhythm and the lyrics do not correspond with each other. Throughout Hozier’s song the rhythm is consistent, besides in the first stanza. The first part of the stanza is,

Analyzing the word, "beautiful" in this stanza, one should perceive that she is not actually singing about the outside of her, but what she consists of emotionally and mentally on the inside. She reveals that her thoughts and emotions are of worth and value and they are of her opinion. They are consumed through her, and no one else and if anyone disagrees, she does not take that into affect. Her diction is actually pretty precise. To quote a famous cliché, beauty is not skin deep. She explains that the beauty is the sentiment.
