Taylor Swift's Song 'Wildest Dreams'

When the opening track from Taylor Swift’s album 1989 blares through my room my whole body electrifies with sound of pure creativity. The album cover is showered with Swift’s recognizable handwriting over a polaroid showing a timeless sweatshirt, most likely from the 80’s. Inside is filled with Swift’s crisp voice singing brilliantly written hooks about everything from love to insecurities to finding yourself in a world that has already defined you.In 1989, Swift somehow found a way to take her creativity to the next level, and since my brain tends to be a creative mess with ideas bubbling through constantly I fell in love with the uniqueness that flows from the speakers when I plug in 1989. As a creative person myself, listening to something

Has the criminal justice system always been unfair to minorities? Lauryn Hill, a famous songwriter talks about several things that opened the eyes of citizens everywhere across this nation in her album MTV Unplugged No. 2.0. In her song, “Mystery of Iniquity” she exposes the unjust court system and how everyone plays a part. The word iniquity means immoral unfair behavior. In the song Lauryn is trying to understand the meaning of the unfair behavior by the criminal justice system. She released this album in 2001, and she was not wrong for publicizing her views on this masterpiece of an album. We tend to forget that under President Clinton’s term, he enforced the 3 strikes and you're out policy, which placed more African American men in person for using crack cocaine than ever before. In the early 2000s, African Americans made up nearly 80% of a prison's population due to the federal crack cocaine laws and they also served more time in prison for drug offenses than their white counterparts. However, during this time period more than 67% (⅔) of crack cocaine users were either white or Hispanic.

Taylor Swift likes to invoke a lot of emotion into her music and includes several things she has experienced in her life. One major recurring theme in her songs is love.

The first trace of filler, but definitely not the last. Then when the album’s lead single was revealed in August the track song "Shake it off" , most of us were willing to play along with its playful, anti-hater spirit but the breakdown, in which Swift tries her hand at schoolyard rapping, gets more and more cringe-worthy on every listen. Memories of a relationship are recalled on wistfully on “Wildest Dreams” with a heartbeat rhythm, some wispy production and echoing vocals. Almost sounding like a track from Lana Del Rey with its eroticism style. Which is not usually a part of Swift’s vocabulary, but she gets tantalizingly close, here, when she sings “no one has to know what we do, his hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room.” Makes us think about a wilder side of Taylor, something I did not expected from her. Another Antonoff collaboration, which sounds directly influenced by the circling beats and spearing guitars of New Order’s sublime 1989 single is “True Faith.” But Swift’s regretful lyrics aren’t especially engaging, and the song passes largely without incident or interest. The pre-release buzz for “1989” had this pegged as a potential Katy Perry smack down and while there’s definitely beef here, it’s delivered in plastic jerky form instead of prime sirloin. The

About releasing a duets album with husband Tim McGraw, she later stated that they have other projects.

Or perhaps the real artist, Taylor Swift’s purpose is to show the audience how ridiculous is the media image that has been created on her. It is a warning for both boys and girls, primarily those who are hoping to attract love from boys that love is perpetuated by its tortuousness. It is painful if boys will lose interest, that is Swift’s warning. The song revolves around a message for girls: do not be a daydream dressed like a daydream; do not be a nightmare dressed like a nightmare; do not find out what kind of a girl he wants and be like that forever, do not be heaven, do not be nice, do not be magic, never be too plain or perfect and good. You can also add torture to love and bring darkness to light, it is all about the

“My dream is that every terminally ill American has access to the choice to die on their own terms with dignity. Please take an active role to make this a reality” (qtd “Brittany Maynard Fund”). Brittany Maynard Diaz, a 29-year-old woman who was diagnosed with Glioblastoma and only given six months to live, turned her tragedy into a legacy when she chose to die with dignity. She became an advocate for the “Compassion and Choices ' End of Life Consultation or EOLC” program by sharing her story and decision with everyone in America in an effort to help give everyone in her situation the same options. She believed in dying with dignity for the same basic reasons that many others do; constitutionally speaking, it is within everyone’s individual rights, it is an established medical practice used all over the world, and no one should be forced to suffer needlessly. After researching her diagnosed form of cancer and discussing her options with her family, any type of treatment given would only destroy the quality of life during the time she had left to live. What would you do?

In the chapter,” Prisoners of Hope” Cornel West argues that black America is a despite state of inequality and corruption that’s jeopardizing the quality of life for the blacks. He focuses on the escalation of wealth inequality and class polarization to emphasize his argument with solid evidence. West gives a brief description of America as a mother whose care is eroding and being replaced by injustice all in the means of financial satisfactory for the elite. He begins by examining the struggles of the middle class through their fear of further underemployment and unemployment. West gives historical context for the need to speak up for equality through inspiring stories of Martin Luther king Jr. and Rosa Parks. On page 296, West says “We’ve forgotten that a rich life consists fundamentally of serving others, trying to leave the world a little better than you found it” trying to advocate the message that we should be helping each other make the world better, helping our race stand as one and advance as one. However, the oppression of black by white supremacists is slowing the process of advancement, rather its placing Blacks in an absurd situation, one where their anger is manifesting as physical violence. His strong call for action in the name of justice is emphasized in the tone and her use of important people who have made a contribution toward equality for blacks c, such as Malcolm X and Mohamed Ali.

Through My Eyes Through My Eyes by Tim Tebow is a book about his life. It started out in the very beginning of his life, right when he was born. He was born in the Philippines in 1987. The reason he was born there was because his family was on a mission trip, but at the same time they were living there, and his mom went into labor. The Tebow’s stayed there for a while longer before they decided to move back to Jacksonville.

Just like Taylor Swift's song, it started off with a blank space, 5 blank spaces.

The song "Again" by Noah Cyrus is a song of regrets and woe, and is beautifully portrayed through a feeling of a fantasy gone awry. The way the melody is disjunct gives the song an overall haunting sound. This emphasizes the remorse felt by the composer. The harmony is composed of mostly consonant intervals and chords. In doing this the composer made a show of an element of fantasy that is felt when listening to the song. The consonant chords of the harmony does not overshadow the disjunct melody, leaving the audience to feel a sense of something being "off" within the fantasy. The rhythm has a slow tempo which indicates a sorrow felt in the song.

I said that NBC had done several musicals and that now ABC wants to crack at doing one. The effort paid off and I found it to be nice film. The remake was a little more updated with the times by featuring black cast members. The first one wasn't like that when it came to the cast. Patrick Swayze's song: She like the Wind wrote got put in the remake and it sounded good. Surprisingly, I also learned that Bruce Greenwood can sing as well. Instead of just dancing in that famous “Nobody put baby in a corner scene, they also had those two characters singing Time of My Life. We get to see what happened with Johnny and Baby since that summer in 1975. Which made the whole remake be more well-rounded.

Mitchell Kimbrough’s “Sky” shows how life will pass one by. People oftentimes fail to make decisions or pursue dreams, but life does not wait for them nor run in reverse. The words and images of the poem, combined with the lyrics of Norah Jones’s “Don’t Know Why,” somberly explore the regret of missed opportunities as time passes.

When it comes to analyzing a song there is no right or wrong way of doing so. Music appeals to people differently and every person will interpret it based on their own feelings. I chose the song Imagine by John Lennon because it’s a song that speaks volume. John lennon is a very sensitive singer that when you listen to his songs it touches your emotions and make you live the situation discussed. In his song “Imagine”, John Lennon expresses and tries to encourage call people to peace regardless all the conflicts that people face such race, religion or ethnicity.

Society has changed and evolved throughout time. Perhaps one of the most significant changed in contemporary American society is the treatment towards African Americans. “The Help” a feature film directed by Tate Taylor is based on the non-fictional novel “The Help” written by author Kathryn Sockett. The feature film explores the life of African American maids of Jackson Mississippi, in the early 1960’s. The 1960’s displayed all African Americans to being left out of the “American dream” through neglect and racism. African Americans faced prejudice and discrimination in almost every aspect of their life, from jobs to housing and even their education. They were denied the right to sit at the same lunch counter or use the same public rest
