The Final Record On Cage The Elephant’S 2013 Album Melophobia

Again, as after the first attack on Chrissie, the audience can’t believe how something so terrible is happening when the mood set by the little boy is so calm and untroubled. This use of music and contrasting emotions builds up tension and fear affecting the audience as it makes them feel confused, as they can’t understand how things can be so pleasant then suddenly so devastating.

The example that represent pathos in the beginning of the music video informs the readers on what the situation may be. The begining scene is of a mother sitting in her bedroom smoking while her daughter, Angela who appears to be the age of 6 or 7, is walking off to school by herself. As she walks alone, she observes another mother hugging her

This song particularly is confusing in its general direction and message, but perhaps that is what makes it so tangible and why Weezer was so successful. It is relatable in that it is not an ethereal, untouchable piece of art, but still art in its’ own right, because Weezer plays it close to the vest by presenting the song more as a stream of consciousness; both jumbled and erratic; as opposed to a finely-tuned, edited entertainment

This song portrays her early mental weakness or low self-esteem given that she appeared to be, “scared to rock the boat and make a mess. So I sit quietly, agree politely. I let you push me past the breaking point. I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything” (AZLyrics, 2013). This is in view of the fact that she was able to gradually convert into a leader fighting with the eye of the tiger that is, “louder than a lion cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar” (AZLyrics, 2013). This maturity targets bravery to grow from their insecurity which pushes a constructive message of strength to everyone. In brief, the role of emotion in her music will, therefore, continue to brings to mind considerable positivity from a psychological

In this line we are able to see why he wanted to hear the cry so much. The speaker wanted the cry intended for him. The cry was to tell him that he’s loved and that he does not have to go. So, he stopped to see if that cry was for him. Unfortunately, however, the cry was not for him, it was a random cry from someone in the next neighborhood. Sadly, the speaker becomes even more depressed because all he wanted was for someone to care and let him know the rain will not last forever. As stated in line 11 “and further still at an unearthly height” basically means the sky. The speaker must have talked about the sky because on the ground the sky is extremely far up; but in a plane it seems close. Once again the audience sees the speaker is still lonely and distanced from the world. We can picture he is still alone and far because further and unearthly height symbolizes the distance between the speaker and the sky, or even the world . Also, this line rhymes with one and three. Line 12 “one luminary clock against the sky” is a metaphor and a symbol. The clock is a metaphor because it’s compared to the moon at night. Although, the sun could be a clock too, because then it will be a day instead of night. The moon in the sky or the clock in the sky symbolize for hope. The moon’s light is a symbol of hope because the speaker is acquainted with the night; so the light brings some type of reassurance to him.

Three poetic elements tell and show everyone what they are feeling and listening is true. First of this song has a deeper meaning using connotation. Simple phrases like “You can get off; someone else can get on”. This is showcasing a cycle that

At the start of the video John Farnham begins singing with a close up shot of his face showing his facial expressions and emotions.

The rhythmic, up-beat and catchy melodies could fool you into thinking this is a happy song. But, just like with life itself, there are people who put a smile on their faces and seem to be fine, but once you start digging a bit deeper, the darkness in their soul comes out, and what they where hiding underneath is not as colourful as they made you think.

Ryan O’Neal sings the same lyrics twice as the cello continues to boom strongly with its accompanied violin, and while the piano creates the correct mood for the song. There has been a drum added in the melodies to resemble a heartbeat and to correctly tie up this song’s concept. The music moves in the same waves as the lyrics are told to help the audience comprehend the writer’s words. The depth of his words aren’t just thought, but feelings tied in

The song has simple lyrics, that carry a huge strength, and haunt you even when the song is over. The juxtaposition of the beautiful landscape, the scent of flowers, with the blood of human beings brutally beaten, gives a powerful and poignant felling to the song. The song exposes the brutality of racism in America, and doesn’t leave any room for more words. When the meaning of the song is fully grasped, one remains shocked, angry and disguste by the imagery portrayed.

These lines portray that the singer is welcoming and truthful; he knows something that the subject does not and wishes to inform them. The beginning part of the music video is just as captivating as the first few lines of the song. The video starts off with a woman, covered in gold, synthesizing a liquid substance. This

At the beginning of the song, Mendes executes the lyrics at a slow pace. The tempo at the start of the song is soft and modifies a settling feeling. During this soft tempo, Mendes mentions that his ex-lover’s words are agonizing and “cut deeper than a knife.” This represents the suffering and heartbreak of the lover who cannot handle the breakup. Next, it shifts from a soft tone to an upbeat tone once Mendes says, “Got a feeling that I’m going under.” This upbeat tone produces the rising of anxiety and fluster which signifies the build up to the end of the relationship. Ending a relationship is often a long and complex process, with repeated conflicts and reconciliations. (Smith and Mackie) A breakage to a commitment to the other leaves heartache and leads to grief. When love is not reciprocated, the rejected person suffers the pains of heartbreak and a loss of self-esteem. The only way to overcome this

Marina continues her song with uneasy emptiness. She’s desperately motivated for an explanation more than observational intrigue. Marina is learning from her song that it’s not the portrait she doesn’t recognize, instead,

The video of the “Animals” competition proposed by MUSE illustrates the topic of monsters. The animation shows the viewer(s) that we are all capable of becoming a monster. We are capable of endangering all of those around us eventually leading to our destruction as we each fight for ourselves as we hurt others we lose our sense of humanity and become clear to the naked eye as a monster. The song helps this theme by showing the unreliable nature that we create as we ignore our humanity and give into the monster we each carry, we show no remorse until there is no turning back. Because even though we overcome our monsters, they will rise again and the cycle will
