The Song Analysis OfHey, Jude, By Paul Mccartney

"It's a fool who plays it cool by making his world a little colder,¨ the voice of this lyric, Paul McCartney, a former member of the Beatles and one of the most popular solo performers. He has been the subject of a conspiracy for years. In 1966, McCartney was in a car wreck, the conspiracy is that he died in the car wreck and was replaced by an imposter. Even though there are conspiracies that Paul McCartney was cloned or replaced by an imposter, there are also many facts and logical explanations that prove he is and always has been, the real Paul McCartney.

My song utilizes the poetic devices of simile, rhyming, imagery, and repetition like that of “Mrs. Potato Head” by Melanie Martinez. Unlike the other poetic devices, only one simile can be seen, and that’s in lines 8-9. Rhyming, on the other hand, runs rampant throughout the entire piece, only leaving a few small gaps in between. While not as frequently placed, imagery can be seen in lines 2, 11, 14-15, 16-18, 20-21, and 27. Each one of these lines gives you an insight into the troublesome life of the song’s namesake, Our Guardian Angel, whose unfortunate circumstances are purposefully downplayed like that of Martinez’s character, Mrs. Potato Head. In other words, Our Guardian Angel and Mrs. Potato Head are struggling to endure the ignorance

Through the use of punctuation (or lack thereof), repetition, and rhyme scheme, John Clare 's first stanza of “I Am” expresses the speaker 's distorted sense of self and vast understanding of his morose existence. The following stanza has been chosen as the analysis point for this paper:

Jude started to lighten up more and enjoy life. He got a job, met and fell in love with Becka. Becka introduced her friend, Daphne, to Jude’s best friend, Corey. Corey has stood beside Jude through everything

The usage of similes and alliteration in the lyrics “Like a Rolling Stone,” helps reflect the poetry in his work. The first and most vivid poetic device used throughout one of Bob Dylan’s top ten hits “Like a Rolling Stone” are similes. The best example of a simile in his lyrics appears in line sixteen through eighteen. “With no direction home / A complete unknown / Just like a rolling stone?” (Dylan 16-18). With Bob Dylan stating this negative comparison of a hopeless woman to a stone rolling down a hill, going out of control, supports his listeners with the thought of a lonely woman with no direction home. “So this phrase, “a rolling stone,” that meant a lack of material possessions, a lack of home, a lack of belonging for those who first sang it, became a symbol of liberation for the rock generation” (Bowie). These material ties weakened our vision and the ability to be able to see around us. Singing this phrase and ending it with a question allowed Bob Dylan to create the sense of freedom and the achievement of clearing his listeners visions to help them see through the illusions around them. The other poetic device that contributed to the admirable background of the lyrics in “Like a Rolling Stone” is the usage of alliteration. The first example of the occurrence with the same sound and letters is in lines one to three, “Once upon a time you dressed so fine / You threw the bums a dime in your prime, / Didn’t you?” (Dylan 1-3). With the repetition of -ime and -ine it presents us with a childlike feel towards the song. In addition to the childish feeling, it seems as if the woman approaches life in a much more simplistic way. “The short line length, the fairy-tale opening, the simple words and images, the straightforward aaaa repeating rhyme — all these elements work together to create the feeling of a children’s song, of a child’s world” (Bowie). The woman described in Bob Dylan’s lyrics assumes that

Let It Be” by the Beatles has many references to along with a huge faith based theme. The reason this song was such a good choice for this assignment is due to how Paul McCartney uses his relationship with his mother and plays on the relationship Mother Mary, our saint, has with us. Throughout scripture we see a theme of God and saints helping people in their times of trouble. This song uses that idea and also brings a personal hidden connection with the singers life and relates them to these ideas in faith. This song can really help someone look deep and think about themselves and others in need. The part that brings it all together is the connection felt with the song writer when the deeper meanings are revealed.

There have been many people, known as artists, who have tried to change the world through their art. “Art” can be paintings, music, dances, sculptures, literature, or photography. There are many ways to communicate and express ones feelings but The Beatles did it through their popular music. Although they didn’t focus on changing the world of politics or try to protest through their music they have songs that focus on those exact two things.

"Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," recorded in 1967, is to date the number one Rock and Roll album ever recorded. Sgt. Pepper's is considered to be the first concept album. There are many things that brought about the creation of The Beatles most influential album. Before The Beatles began the recording process of Sgt. Pepper's they had retired from touring. This gave the group ample time to experiment with different instruments, recording techniques and drugs. The album cover also sparked a revolution in itself. Many bands took notice of the creative elements of Sgt. Pepper's and learned from them.

If you have a little less hair now than you’ve had in the past, or if the hair you do have is some variation of the color of silver, you might recognize this line. It’s from the Herman’s Hermits’ 1965 hit version of the song “I’m Henry the Eighth, I Am.” The song was originally popular as a 1910 British music hall tune, and it became the second-fastest-selling song in history (up to that point) when the Hermits released their version. It was the British band’s second No. 1 hit on the Billboard 100. It was also a pretty simple song. In the Hermits’ version, it was the same chorus sung three times. Between the first and second chorus, Herman (Peter Noone) called out, “Second verse, same as the first.” It became an iconic phrase.

Blackbird is a song written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney recorded in 1968. McCartney wrote this song about the civil rights struggle for blacks after reading about race riots in the USA. He penned it in his kitchen in Scotland not long after an incident in Little Rock, when the federal courts forced the racial desegregation of the Arkansas capital 's school system. McCartney told Mojo magazine, October 2008: "We were totally immersed in the whole saga which was unfolding. So I got the idea of using a blackbird as a symbol for a black person. It wasn 't necessarily a black 'bird ', but it works that way, as much as then you called girls 'birds '; the Everlys had had 'Bird Dog, ' so the word 'bird ' was around. 'Take these broken wings ' was very much in my mind, but it wasn 't exactly an ornithological ditty; it was purposely symbolic."(Principia, 2015) During the 1960’s black people were having very hard time with discrimination. This song is so deep and at the same time, so metaphoric that it can be used as a song of freedom in any circumstances. The song says that even if you are not free, if you live in darkness, if your wings are broken and your eyes sunken, you should always try to rise, fly and follow the light that shines even in the darkest night. Blackbird is song rich in figurative language that reminds African Americans to not give up, to keep trying even if they think there is no hope. McCartney writes about freedom
