thought of country music, however many others, along with artists, love the sound of country music. As Maren Morris beautifully serenades in her hit,"My Church", "I find my soul revival, singing every single verse. Yeah, I guess that 's my church." This song is about how listening and singing country music relaxes her and makes her forget about all of her problems. I feel the exact same way, though I had

social justice and women empowerment. Besides the entertainment from the album, the visuals, lyrics, and Beyonce’s tone from each track were also satisfying. Visuals have a huge impact on a song. It’s a “visual representation of the music.” Visuals allows listeners to see the mood and the purpose of a song. Beyonce’s Hold Up music video starts off with a very gloomy and dull color scheme. You can tell by the graphics that Beyonce was in an agonizing position. The atmosphere is very outrageous and

Break-Up Songs Throughout Different Genres What does Paris by The Chainsmokers, Say Something  by A Great Big World, and Here Comes Goodbye by Rascal Flatts all have in common? They are break-up songs. Each in their own way, all of these songs are about pain and sadness caused by break-ups.Some of these songs are meant to cause an already sad person to cope with their sadness by pushing them farther into “The Abyss”. A few are meant to touch on the happier memories of the relationship giving someone

fourteen songs I concluded that the amount of profanity used in each song is sky rocketing high, in the song “If I should die” in the first twenty second I counted six profanities used. The amount of horrible language used at times can easily distract the real message trying to be conveyed and more importantly in my case drift the listener in counting the amount of vulgarity used instead of enjoying the music. However, to counter this problem Jay-Z’s songs have a unique rhyme for each song, weather

in popularity through its appeal to the pop genre and witty lyrics. Jon Bellion is the character in his own album and his journey from a child to an adult and a nobody to a celebrity is the primary focus throughout most of his songs. The journey of himself through the songs is what makes the lyrics interesting. The general understanding is that Bellion wishes to portray himself as unique but humble. The pressures he feels from society and the pressures of his childhood are prominent in the understanding

to be a love song playing somewhere. These types of songs can seem upbeat and happy, but that is just the music playing behind the lyrics. The music in these songs are written in a major key which make the song sound lively and cheerful. Even with the darkest meaning behind the lyrics, the music can give off different perspectives.

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. For example “ a million dead-end streets” when I lived in Pittsburgh, our house was on a dead end street and now I live in a Cul-de-sac. I wonder if when I move out I’ll live on another dead end? As the song goes on Bowie states “ Time may change me but I can't trace time.” I have changed

way lyrics are written in songs. In Arabian Knights, the lyrics “ Myriad lights I’d be impressed Arabian Knights at your primitive best” supports the idea that the arabian area is “primitive” unlike Western

incorporated at the first seconds of the song. This song takes the listener back in time to a pivotal part of American history, where race issues dominated social and political construct of America. Equally important, “Freedom” intertwines racism in the past with race issues going on with present time United States. This song embodies modern day R&B, but the meaning of the lyrics, along with the integration of an instrument is unique compared to most R&B songs. However, many components of R&B music

festivities through music. The first performance was given by the Lakeview Middle SChool 7th grade choir. The first song sung was Going on a Sleigh Ride by: Sally blah blah. The choir as a whole did well on this song by having good articulation and volume. I could clearly hear
