Stronger By Mandis 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

And it was okay. Mom and i sat at the bench and it all felt okay again. The soft dirt beneath my flip flops, the seabreeze coaxed from the hills, the hot salsa steaming on my fork, all made it okay. All of it was, in a way, meant to be; it was such a valid explanation of what life is, an inconsistent, instantaneous series of happenings, forever occurring until the end of life itself. Even the moment i hated the most, feeling the sideview mirror scrape the blue paint off of the vintage chevy, was an integral (lmao pun intended) moment, no more or less important than the happy moments before, singing Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep” with a sultry spin, and after, absorbing the final breath of the dwindling west coast

This piece is a very personal piece of mine. I feel like I am the one hurting, the one with the bruised heart as he seems fine. " I tried to wash the scars and marks from under my skin, but you're etched in me like stone" means that she is trying to fix herself but this guy really broke her into pieces and, that is exactly what I am going through. " Save My Soul" is really the perfect song where I can create movement and speak what I feel through movement. Following Shaun Evaristo all these years has really brought out the artist in me.

To be honest I did not start crying until 29:00-29:50 when Maria was sharing her story because it hit home with me so much. Maria’s mother, is very similar to my Mom in the fact that my Mom sacrificed so much time and money to ensure that my high school education set me up for an even greater college education. I have an immense amount of guilt because she did not have to take up extra jobs to send me to school but she did anyway. That for me is truly the greatest act of selflessness I have ever seen in a person and I can never repay her for that.

She shouldn’t have let her husband's passing hold onto her so much like it did. When my mother left, I had no family around to cope with. I thought I’d always have my sister by my side. After all that we’ve been through I never thought she’d leave.

My story has a meaningful story behind it. The story is deep for me and even for the artist and probably for many other people. Hearing songs like this can inspire you. It inspired me to be thankful for the people in my life. One day they can be here the next they could be gone. You never know what’s going on in their lives.

Annie Johnson from New Directions made a big decision to divorce her husband because she knew it just wasn’t gonna work, but Annie wasn’t alone she had her two little baby boys. Including the fact that Annie didn’t have a job and she was African-American so her choices were limited. But that didn’t stop her from anything. Annie was a brave,intelligent, and independent women. So she decided to go out into the world with her two little boys, cut her own path and

It is a sin for anyone to destroy, in a blink of an eye, what they have been working on for months or even years. Therefore, one should always face the hardships with a strong will, hold their head up high when facing an upcoming storm, because that is the only way they can survive the war that is life. Right towards the end of the song, there is an extremely empowering line that says “this road never looked so lonely, this house doesn’t burn down slowly to ashes” which stands as a reminder that right when the challenge becomes harder, one should never forget what they are fighting for and simply give up. The amount of determination reflected in this line is the reason why I listen to this song whenever I feel defeated by the obstacles. It comes to spark the flame of determination in my heart when I consider backing

Everything is perfectly fine, everything is great, then one day it all comes crashing down and shattered pieces are left. My life would never be the same but I guess change is for the best and it forced me to become the person I am today. It’s rough to be the oldest child, especially when your mom is diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and you have 3 younger sisters that look to you for comfort when their mom can’t be there. When the cancer is spread throughout your moms body doctors can’t just get rid of it no matter how badly you wish they could. Rounds of chemotherapy only slow it down, yet it’s still there a lurking monster waiting to reappear at any given moment. Nothing can even begin to describe the fear I felt, and still have to deal

This very slow song, so in my opinion I think it reinforces a sense of bittersweet, because even though she mentions how she wants to be remembered for the good things that she did she also mentions death and regrets in her song.

Ella Mai’s honesty in the song is so influential in which I believe is very powerful. “My everything” by Ariana Grande is a song that makes me very emotional because it was something that I would listen to when my Mother would go in for her surgeries. On November, 23, 2013 my Mother was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. It was very devastating to hear because it was something that you would never expect to happen to anyone you love and care

“Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it a rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven too soul.” -Unknown. Does an important song speak to you words that cannot be expressed or heal your heart and make it whole again? What is an important song? An important song is something that you and other people can connect with because you’ve been through or are going through the same situation. “Human,” by Christine Perri is an important song because it teaches that no one is perfect and that we can’t always satisfy everyone, but we will give and give until we’ve had

A SS officer had to grab her and take her off from her mother. The SS officer had told her that she was too young to die and for that reason she could not go with her mother. This scene was the most powerful and tragic to me because I myself could not bare being apart form my mother in such a time like back then. I possibly could just not imagine my life without my mother. My mother is my all and everything. For that reason I believe that particular scene felt so powerful specifically to me. This scene could offer various lessons or messages, but the one I think is the biggest is to value and respect your parents because you never know if you will see them the next day.

I can relate to this song in numerous ways. Here are a few examples, In the song’s lyrics it says “I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero till the end of the night.” These verses can relate to me because it tells how she is going to wait for an good person in life to be with and I feel like I will do the same. “Up where the mountains meet the heavens above, out where then sunlight splits the sea I swear someone is watching me.” This relates to me because I will always have my sister watching over me, loving me, and protecting me. The next example is the last example I am going to give today, “Someone just beyond my reach there’s someone reaching back to me.” I can really feel sympathy for this part of the lyrics, I know God is always reaching

I remember everything as if it were yesterday. The shock, the sadness, the pain, and the sickness she had to suffer. I remember sitting beside her, holding her hand as she had IV’s put into her arms. I remember the conversations we had; she’d explain to me how she just wanted to go outside again; she’d be enthusiastic for the day she got out of the hospital; we made plans for when she beat cancer. Two years have gone by so fast, and there hasn’t been a day I haven’t thought about her.
