Most artists become popularized through the internet and social media, but numerous composers have become well-known through the music they produce for movies.

Music is often just a medium, utilized by artists, to paint a vivid picture in the minds of the listener. As a listener, often you can be caught off guard by the artists ability to do so. In the song fast car by Tracy Chapman, the incredible singer/songwriter will do just that. She will render an image so graphic, and so dramatic, that you will swear that you were walking in the shoes of the woman she sings about in her song. The gracefully flowing melody and emotionally evolving lyrics transport you through an undeniably extraordinary journey of joy and sorrow, all within the confines of a four minute and fifty-nine second song.

After their first hit album, The Proclaimers released a second album called Sunshine on Leith, and from that album came their most famous song, “I’m Gonna Be 500 Miles,” which woul¬¬¬¬d reach number one on the charts in New Zealand and Australia, as well as number 3 on the charts in the United States.

Wazzam...Yeet... Take an L. What the heck do these words even mean? Generation by generation, language shifts and words take on new interpretations causing these words to be the "superlative" words and more confusing than ever. Why does this happen? Because, teens want to "fit in," and social media has become such a major influence on youth that it is as if social media is their third parent. Famous singers now a days are not afraid to drop in f-bomb in their songs because music has evolved to accommodate the utilization of cuss words. The N-word, which was use to dehumanize and break down a human race, has transformed to mean my pal or my family and only said among African Americans themselves. People utilize language in such a way that

Being human means that there is a certain desire to explore. Whether it be in discovering who they are or just trying to learn, people tend to try to find deeper meanings.

Through Richard Proenneke’s bio and journals, he explains the deep thinking he was able to do in the wilderness despite the simplicity in his everyday life.

Duality, a rather whimsical alternative rock album produced by the exuberant band Set It Off, truly encaptures the attention and ears of many because of its ability to make the thirty-seven minute experience feel like a mind-blowing journey through different genres of music such as pop punk, pop rock, and general rock. Released in October of 2014, Duality hastily found its way to Rock Sound's "Top 50 Albums of the Year" list, landing at number 5. In addition, this cross-genre compilation is Set It Off's best album to date because of its unique sound and fresh style along with the notion that it was completely unexpected. Beginning with "The Haunting," a song that contains a sound similar to the band's older material, the album carefully introduces an eerie feel with a mischievous twist that swiftly transitions into a playful tune with songs such as "Forever Stuck In Our Youth" and "Why Worry." Duality, an upbeat, wild album released by the playful band Set It Off to symbolize limitless and unavoidable life experiences such as a breakup, has

Friday night, lying in bed, eyes closed absorbing the legendary lyrics of The Kinks with the Pontefract cake-like disc rotating on the retro record player you bled your parents dry for. This is as close as the discerning music fan will get to real musical talent. Truth is, young people will never understand the sensation of music in the decades owned by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones or The Searchers, instead the quality of modern popular music now has collapsed into a never ending and monotonous spiral of auto tuned sounds and sub-standard ‘talents’ who pale in comparison to the musical artists of last century.

There are a ton of songs written out there about California, but for this article, I’ll be focusing on songs related to Los Angeles and Hollywood.

Freed (2009, 169) described it by saying, “rock ’n’ roll is really swing with a modern name.” Ennis (1992, 253) identifies, ‘First, early rocknroll allowed every performer to draw on the full musical resources of pop, country, and rhythm and blues.’ and on rockhall.com (2014) his viewpoint is expanded upon, The more immediate roots of rock and roll lay in the so-called "race" music, or rhythm & blues, and "hillbilly" music, or county & western of the Forties and Fifties.

Music has come a long way and everybody dances, listens, and sings to what we call music. In the past few years mainstream music has been overtaken by hip-hop and rap music. Although they have been criticized a lot for its sexual lyrics and violent themes. People feel that that hip-hop music has a focus on sexually-based themes and others feel that rap promotes violence against police officers and innocent citizens. Artists are still making music that promotes neither of these ideas, but more neutral and family and friendly themes. The last few years’ music has shown great styles, themes, and personal taste.

First off, I will say that the two painting would not be categorized as hip-hop because when I look at both of the picture I'm not persuade that the picture have anything to do with hip hop at all. I can say when I see the image of the radio I have a sense that the artist was making that painting in reference to music.

That painting also gives you more of a
