What Does The Song Represent Me

As I think about my senior year, where I have been, where I am going and who I am, I have realized what my theme song should be. It describes me in many different ways.

The artist chooses an upbeat and happy tempo that repeats throughout the song. He chooses this repeating tempo to draw the listener’s attention to the lyrics of the song. The slow, yet happy tempo paired with the artists bright and cheery voice creates a sense of ease and happiness within the song itself, and the audience.

The song I chose for myself is Bob Marley’s “Corner Stone. The song goes like this, “the stone that the builder refuse; will always be the head cornerstone’. Robert “Bob” Marley wrote this song after going to visit his estranged family on his father’s side; they denied Bob and wanted no parts of him. Even though Bob Marley carried his father’s last name and was named by his deceased father; who chose to name him after his uncle Robert Marley. In this song Bob Marley is saying, “The stone that the builder (father) refuse will always be the head cornerstone. Although, his family refused him, he didn’t allow that to stop him or stop him from succeeding in life. Bob Marley became the greatest reggae artist and is known for his positive spirit.

I chose “Humble and Kind,” by Tim McGraw as my theme song. “Humble and Kind” is a very good song that has very unique lyrics. The song gives advice on how to live. There are many manners in this song that are very important. The song is a parent telling their child how they should live life. It seems that the artist wrote the song on how he wishes he would have acted when he was younger. One of the main messages of this song are that everyone has something in their lives, but you still need to be nice. Some of the lyrics on the song are about the 10 Commandments. Even though we grow up, we still need to remember our manners and how to live life. “Don’t hold a grudge or a chip and here’s why Bitterness keeps you from flying.” This is an example

Listening to the lyrics of your favorite song you automatically start to have a connection with that song. Then the song starts to represent you and your life because of the lyrics. Some songs show about being a fighter,having freedom, or just being you. There's a billion of songs out there and there's a billion of people who connect with those songs. Usually the most common reason why some songs represent people is by their past experience. For me some songs represent me because I decided to follow my dreams,living in the moment, and get right back up.

Particular words he chooses throughout the song, like "Indigos" (18), have symbolism attached to them. He metaphorically describes

In the main chorus of the song, the main metaphor is identified, “We found love, / So don't hide it / Life is a rollercoaster, /Just gotta ride it / I need you, / So stop hiding / Our love is a mystery / Girl, let's get beside it” (“Ronan Keating Lyrics”). The rhetor here is persuading the audience to transfer the qualities of a rollercoaster to their life and the different aspects of life that they encounter.

There are two songs that describe me and they are “finally made it” by Rich Homie Quan, and “Everyday We Lit” by PnB rock and YFN Lucci. I say the first song describe me because I came this far and I haven’t giving up. I listen to this song everyday, because it’s saying if I keep working hard until I’m done I will achieve my goal and that is getting my education. A part in this song that I like the most is when he say “I finally made it so my momma won’t have to work no more”. Every time I hear this part of the song, it gives me motivation to strive harder so my momma can rest.

my first song is Lucky by Jason Mraz featuring Colbie Caillat. I chose this song to represent the theme of love. I chose it because this song is about two people singing about how they are in love with their best friend. Hazel and Augustus started out, in my opinion as friends, they hang out all the time. Whether it is at the support group, watching movies in his basement, or trusting your life into the terrible driving of his.

“Puddles of Tears” best fits the song because you need to put what others say aside. “Puddles of Tears” depicts a man's sacrifices to overcome others for what he believes. This song shows that you need to do what you think is best for others. Personally I believe that you must not only be your own hero but you must have a greater hero to guide you. Overall this song shows that you must sacrifice it all for what you think is right.

I believe my theme song is Pursuit of Happiness by Kid Cudi. I like to think of this song as a good theme song to my life because I am constantly trying to find happiness in the things I do. I wake up every day thinking about the things i would like to acomplish in my lifetime and how to make myself happy with the person i am now, or who i will become. there are many things in life that have happened which very well could have made me extremely different from my normal, everyday self that you all see today. When I listen to the lyrics of the song, I relate so well because I would wake up almost every night having night terrors, I would have terrible dreams, or i would even hallucinate when my mom put me to bed.

The theme song that best represents me is Upside Down by Jack Johnson. The song Upside Down represents me because it says “and as my mind begins to spread its wings, there's no stopping curiosity.” I am always curious about everything in the world and push the limits. The song Upside Down really expresses my curiosity, thoughts, and my limits being pushed aside. In my spare time I think about ways to make the world a better place and think of inventions that would change the world.

“I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music.” This famous quote said by Billy Joel does a good job describing the way music can affect people. Different songs can impact people, change their moods, or bring back memories related to a certain tune. Each person, however, has their own unique taste in music; one song can be loved by one but hated by another, it all depends on our personal taste and what we can relate to. This made me wonder, what does the music I listen to say about myself? Do the lyrics define who I am as a person, or do I simply like songs because of the beat? As I looked at my top ten playlist,

If I was a song I would be “Flashlight” by Hunter Hayes. I would be this song because the song reflects the writer's relationship with Christ. The song uses the metaphor as God is a flashlight through the the times in life when things are not clear amongst others that reflect what God is. I feel this song reflects my relationship with Christ very well and how I see him from day to day in life.

It conveys several messages about everyday life in a way that’s simple yet open for interpretation. It says that even when things get bad, it’s never as bad as it seems. The idea of “Nothing like the rain when you’re in outer space” was appealing to me because it really makes absolutely no sense, which means each person has to give it meaning. I’d like to think it means cherishing things you don’t always have. This song can give so many different meanings to the listener no matter how they interpret it which makes it so
