Colbie Caillat

I chose the song “Try” by Colbie Caillat for my musical introduction because I feel this song represents me and many other peers that I see in the halls of Joplin High School. This song was released in 2014 and was written by Colbie when she was feeling pressured to be someone she was not by the music industry. Many people live day to day trying to be someone they’re not to make others happy. People live their lives trying to fit into the crowd instead of standing out and being proud of who they

Thesis: Colbie Caillat uses her music to spread positivity and acceptance, making her a muse, while Madonna serves as a monster by encouraging reckless behavior and unnecessary rebelliousness. MUSE TS: Colbie Caillat serves as a muse by promoting positivity and self love and calling out today’s unrealistically high beauty standards.

Something that all girls want at some point in their life is to be accepted by society. Society is the cruelest aspect of any girl’s life.

Franklin and Caillat Fight for Respect We hear all the time that we learn from our past, but is that true? Inequalities have been around for thousands of years; we are still surrounded by prejudice and differences every day. So do we truly learn from our past? Women’s rights and women’s equality issues have been around for a long time because of the need for respect, equality and voting rights. Two songs relating these issues include “Respect” by Aretha Franklin (1967) and "Try" by Colbie Caillat (2014)

The standards society hold for women today are wiped away in Colbie Caillat’s song Try. Caillat uses simplicity and a contemporary music style in Try to convey the suffocation women feel because they try to live up to these stereotypes in the 21st century. When Caillat wrote her song, she used repetition of her lyrics to hit home the theme that women are beautiful inside and out. Caillat stated in an interview that “When you have a cute outfit on and your makeup looks amazing, the first thing

“Try by Colbie Caillat brings back the memory of my first time ever going to placement.” The reasoning of why the son brings back memories is because it shows me exactly how I used to be before I got help; I always strived for acceptance and attention. I always wanted to fit in with everyone else even if that meant I had to step out of my comfort zone and act like somebody I wasn’t. Stepping out of my comfort zone wasn’t something I would normally do, but fitting in was something I always wanted

The song “Try” by Colbie Caillat is one of the most emotionally touching song I have ever heard. The song is about women trying so hard to keep up with the standards of society, but a woman does not have to try hard that is costs her more than her well-being. The creator of the song is telling all the women in society that, no one has to “try” to make people to like them. No women has to make people like them, she must like herself more than anything else. Women do not have to try to convince society

This child, lets call him, Jack. With no control at all, Jack was fortunate enough to be born into high-income country, like New Zealand Then there’s, Jill. With the same amount of control as Jack, he added to the total of 10,368 children born into poverty a day. That’s one child, every 1.2 seconds Jack has a 1 in 165 chance of dying before he’s 5. Jill on the other hand is not so lucky and the odds of him reaching his 5th birthday are 1 in 6. Everyone was born into and are living in circumstances

Sitting on my mother's lap has always been the safest place for me. Although she beholds a lovely image, I imagine her as a fearless warrior ready and armed to attack anyone who dared to touch her child. I admired my mother's strength as I watched her work for tireless hours, but, furthermore, I admired her willingness to sacrifice resting time in order to be with my siblings and me. Although my mother did not have a warrior's armor consisting of a sword and shield, listening to her stories about

Ellen DeGeneres couldn’t have said it better, “Beauty is about being comfortable in your own skin. It 's about knowing and accepting who you are.” Imagine yourself in a world where everyone was confident with his or her looks. How different would your life be? No need for makeup or stressing to maintain a certain image. Just think of all the time you’d save just being confident with who you are! Statistics show that over 50% of teenage girls are self conscious about their looks. Social Media is negatively
