The Ideal Desert Island Song

My name is Kristin Landeros and this song "Suavemente" by Elvis Crespo is more of a song that makes me happy due to its beat and rhythm vs. Its lyrics. It always reminds me of my first vacation on a cruise ship which, was so much fun and so relaxing. It makes you happy and you can't help but dance and forget about your stress or busy life, just for a little bit.

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

Part 1 Background and Identification- There are quite a number of songs that have stood the test of time and geography to remain as vital and popular today as they were when first composed. Perhaps it is because some of these songs simply transcend time and place and appeal to the core of human emotion. Who cannot feel a thrill of excitement and humanity at the finale of Beethoven's 9th Symphony, or shed a tear at a favorite Christmas carol? One song that fits this transcendence is La Vie En Rose, literally, Life in Pink. This was first made popular in 1946 by French torch singer Edith Piaf. Translated from the French idiom, the piece means "seeing life through rose-colored glasses," rather perfect for Piaff's life and vocal talent, and even more perfect for a world turned upside down because of World War II. At first, Piaf's colleagues and team did not think the song would be at all successful, yet it became a favorite with audiences around the world, and Piaf's signature song (Bret, 2009). The song quickly became so popular it was translated into several languages, and then the greatest compliment of all imitated by singers in many different genres. Ironic since the words were almost hastily scribbled on a cocktail napkin while Piaf was drinking with her friend Marianne Michel at a café' on the Champs-Elysees (Burke, 2011, p. 118).

Different songs can have different intentions on what message they are trying to send to the listener. As the listener, they are the only ones who interpret what they think about the song or if they like it or not. To me certain songs have lyrics that tell stories and teach life lessons and other songs I don’t even have to listen to the lyrics to like the song. Songs can reflect different sides to a person and may also relate to people’s lives. Through my three songs “Logic – The Come Up” and “Yung Dash – Momma I Made It” they represent the saying of “You will get knocked down but it’s your choice whether to get back up or not” as well as not letting anyone who doubts you get in your way with whatever you are working for.

With its rip roaring beat, tactical lyrics, and powerful message this song is the anthem that Spike Lee was aiming for. It gives context to the scenes and sets the mood for the rest of the film.

when listening to the songs, the low pitched male voice drifted into the ear, and the pictures hits my mind, which are dance, tears and memories. “City of stars, there’s so much that I can’t see”. When the last imaginary disappears, everything was just like a dream. “Who knows, is this the start of something wonderful and new, or one more dream that I cannot make true”? Once dreams meet the reality, people will awake from their dream and face the real situation. Through the lyrics and the music tone, it leaves the significant memory for the audience and draws people into the sadness love story. The lyrics bring people go depth into the storyline and makes people think more about the internal meaning of the film. I think the songs really fits to the movie. Hearing the songs will bring back the movie scenes, and due to the movie’s storyline, the music in the film become extraordinary important and make people feel really

Often times we use music to relate to ourselves; our lives, experiences, thoughts, and personalities. People use songs as an expression of themselves, their thoughts and past that they may not be able to express in any other

It was a feeling of freedom. I have been skiing for more than half of my life and it’s something I want to do every winter, so when I for the first time could experience the Norwegian mountains. This hobby has helped me find new friends and socializing into the Norwegian society. And it was a place for me to be on the weekends. I choose this track because I used to listen to while I was skiing and because it´s the theme song the from the Salomon Freeski TV I watch

What I personally like about this song is the way I interpreted it; I’m too young to know what love truly is, but seeing the way people talk and sing about falling in love is truly beautiful in my perspective. Aside from the message, I’m truly just fascinated with Frank Sinatra's voice and how a single man can leave such a huge mark in our music

Even thought he is a great influencer, he did not create this techniques, the roots are in the African-American blues and R&B traditions. This song makes me feel absent, like if I could forget all my problems and just enjoy. Also, he makes it feel so natural since he is playing like if it was really easy and calm. In the colors of music for me it would be a mix of red and yellow, since it is has self-identity, personal power, self-fulfillment and also aliveness, adventure, danger, challenge, vitality, courage and strength. Moreover, the texture is thick since includes solid chords, many instruments in this case the guitar, bass and drum, also it is heavy, dense, rich, solid, and loud

In my experiences with the song, I’ve gotten the sense of deep thought; the kind of thought one could get from listening to a classic piece most of the time. With this deep thought, I have gotten lots of emotion from this piece. Whether it be from the intended meaning behind the production of the song , or my own personal meaning I have inserted into the song as I listen to it. It gives the mind set to rethink myself, whether it mentally, physically, or emotionally.

Also during this time of my life I am very Headstrong or stubbornness in this case because i have to use my brain.

This fast Tempo reggaeton song has been an all time favorite party go to song. This song is a very fun song to listen, to dance, or to sing at the top of your lungs. The way Daddy Yankee raps in his song makes it a little more complicated to keep up with the lyrics. Other then him saying “Gasolina” 100 times in the song; the lyrics in this song is not would cause me to love it so much. The rhythm he has in the song gives off a very happy feeling.

I love to dance and sing and this song has always been the number one in my head that describes
