However, to counter this problem Jay-Z’s songs have a unique rhyme for each song, weather

Through the use of media and provocative lyrics an artist can express a more profound message than what is openly understood. Music, like our language, can have more meanings than what is plainly visible. These messages are commonly evocative of a greater issue in the artist’s life, or something that the artist sees as a flaw in society. Ed Sheeran is an alternative artist that very frequently strives to evoke emotions in the music he writes. In the song “The A Team” Ed Sheeran successfully portrays

“How to Write a Song” by Allyson Jones Think back to the last time you heard your favorite song. You plant your headphones on, close your eyes, and completely immerse yourself in the music.

Rock and Soul The way artists cover songs today is very different than the way they were done in the mid nineteen hundreds. Today if a band covers a song it will typically be from a while ago. A performer like Miley Cyrus would not cover “Take Me To Church” by Hozier. Even if she were to perform the song people would be confused as to why she is playing Hozier’s song so close to when Hozier came out with the song. And when someone covers another bands song, it will still sound similar to the

everyone needs a playlist to start off their day right by listening to songs that instigate happiness. I chose this theme because personally I believe that happiness is very important in my life.

As we start on the song Cherub Rock from the album Siamese Dream, let's look to the beginning. The start of the songs features upbeat guitars that quickly mix with a dirty

this is a pro of music there is a con, not everyone analyzes lyrics. Society listens to what sounds good and unfortunately often leads to singing lyrics without paying attention to the message. This can be said about Robin Thicke’s summer hit “Blurred Lines.” The controversial lyrics suggest rape and degrade women while men take advantage of them. The degrading of women can be seen through Thicke’s diction in the pre-chorus

childhood, the places we’ve lived, and the people we are surrounded by. I chose the song Changes by David Bowie because everyone goes through changes and this song has certain aspects that are ironically relatable to my life.
