What Is The Instrumentation Of The Song Katrina

The main point Singer is trying to show his audience is that we should try to prevent unfortunate circumstances to arise for others but we should do so without losing something of equal importance to us. This means that we should help the less fortunate but without putting ourselves

This song is a wakeup call for America to set a better example for the next generation. People are hurting other people. Some are paranoid of what will happen next. Life should not be scary, but there are people afraid to walk out and be among the chaos. Everybody is against one another, and they are not willing to compromise. “It’s time we stop” and look at what we are doing and what has become of us. There are wars for ignorant reasons, there are people hurting, there are innocent children watching, WAKE UP AMERICA! The riots and wars are not worth all of this pain and suffering.

Bob Dylan's song, "The Hurricane" is a story communicated through song. It is a tribute

“The Voices of Hurricane Katrina” is an article published by Abe Louise Young (MFA in poetry), in the summer of 2010. Young is a New Orleans native and considers herself to be a social justice activist and poet. She became familiar with many of Hurricane Katrina’s victims during one of her early projects only a week after the storm. Years later, Young found herself outraged after stumbling upon the published work of author Raymond McDaniel. McDaniel stole testimonials from the same victims she had met and altered their true statements. Young informed a woman named Antoinette (one of the famous voices of Katrina) that her words had been published by McDaniel. Antoinette expressed how hurt she was, confirming the words published were her

The first line of the song, “I’m gonna make a change for once in my life” (Ballard and Garrett), helps set the stage for the entire song. The lyrics are very straight forward, speaking about a man seeing the world around him and how it needs to change. The only way to start to change, is to look at yourself and start within. “I'm starting with the man in the mirror… I’m asking him to change his ways… and no message could have been any clearer… if you want to make the world a better place… take a look at yourself, and then make a change” (Garrett and Ballard), is the chorus to the song that refers to a man knowing the world around him is suffering and by taking the first step will help change not only himself but can help contribute to his environment. In order to make a difference in the world, you must start small and start with yourself. The song speaks about is about people suffering and how cruel our world can be. People only care about

Hurricane Katrina was a storm that hit the south; most of the storm struck New Orleans Louisiana. The twelfth anniversary is coming up on August 29, 2017. During the storm the mass amount of damage to the city included

In this paper I read the Essay that Abe Louise Young wrote about “The Voice of Katrina Part One”. In this Essay at its core is about Hurricane Katrina, which was a massive hurricane that hit in 2005. It caused massive damage and destruction along the Gulf coast from Florida to Texas. Hurricane Katrina will always be remembered for hitting New Orleans, Louisiana, when the levee system failed leaving 80% of the city flooded and destroyed. Hitting the worst parts of New Orleans such as the 9th ward, already being one of the poorest areas in Mississippi. Much of the Essay talks about the people of New Orleans, Abe being a new graduate started Alive in Truth: The New Orleans Disaster Oral History and Memory Project, her goal she state’s is to

“Stormy Weather” was written in 1933 by Harold Arlen and Ted Koehler and first performed by Ethel Waters at the Cotton Club in Harlem. This song captures the very essence of the Great Depression time period, which is why it was selected as one of the first two songs to be played on the mixtape. With lyrics such as “life is bare, gloom and misery everywhere” can showcase Stormy Weather as a representation of the turmoil United States citizens were facing. Ethel Waters voice and the melody of the music do a great job of translating the lyrics is such a way that listeners can envision and relate to the pain and heartache the song is portraying.

As a category 4 storm, Katrina decimated anything in its path, with winds blowing up to 150 miles per hour and a serge of water reaching 15 feet. Nearly seventy-percent of New Orleans was under water for weeks, as it flooded the streets due to old and left thousands stranded. Approximately 25,000 residents remaind in their homes, despite the very serious warnings, causing them to have no choice but be airlifted to safety from their roof tops. Many of the levys failed to hold back the high waters back, allowed the lake to over flow into the city and cause approximately 1,300 fatalities. Looting and crime was on the rise as people abandoned all their homes and belongings, causing the lack of people to feel safe to return

Within the first two verses of the song, this young woman presents an issue that is all too common for many people. She has big dreams and wants to make a name for herself, but to succumb to making that dream a reality, she would have to desert the loved ones that have made

Ben Fold’s song Fred Jones, part 2 literally tells a story about a man who has to walk away from everything he knows. However, there is a deeper meaning found from using multiple poetic elements such as connotation, repetition, and simile. Using repetition in the song shows that time will catch up to everyone. This song contains a deeper meaning but no one would realize that just by looking at the lyrics. All the little words and pieces in the song make up the big story about Fred Jones.

The next song that sticks in my memory was “Betterman”, also from Vitology. The reason that this song sticks is that I really don’t like this song at all. The tempo and the words are just not to my liking. The song in general seems in general misplaced on this album. But, like any artist should do, I could tell right away that this was some how different. Why pay money to hear something that you have already paid for, and can hear any day. But anyway to get back to the point, this song sticks in my mind so well, because the tempo was given a swift kick. It was more upbeat, and Stone threw in an incredible five-minute guitar solo. I mean this solo, was just amazing. This was clearly an improvement on their studio recording- edition, and I would have to honestly have to say this was one of the best songs that I heard all night.

The fourth track is “Social Disease”, which was written by Richie Sambora and Jon Bon Jovi. This up tempo song has guitar riffs and the drums and keyboard arrangements make for an awesome listening experience. Sometimes it is hard to tell if the sound is coming from the guitar or from the keyboards, but the layering of sounds makes this a true rock song. After the final verse/chorus, the instruments keeping playing, the chorus is repeated, and then an outro is performed by the instruments to end the song.

As I always listen to variety of music all over the world, so I have many favorite songs that always dancing in my mind. However I will include these five special, meaningful songs in my mix tape.
