are two central societies that Equality experiences; both societies can be represented a song. “Paint it, Black” by The Rolling Stones can represent the overall feeling of the first society that is controlling and wants everything to be the same; it is apparent when Equality is in the home of the students and all of the students and teachers are reciting, “‘We are nothing. Mankind is all’” (Rand, 21). The song “Paint it, Black” explains how the singer wants everything painted black and all the same;

The song lyrics I chose to represent individualism is: Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones, I’m Free, written in 1965 and performed on YouTube video in 1969. I believe Mick Jagger’s video of “I’m Free” is an example of expressive individualism.

(Wilkens, S. and Sanford, M. 2009) In the lyrics of “I’m Free” Mick

This song was influenced by Bob Dylan’s “Blowing In The Wind” and gave a visual representation of the discrimination that African-American face even at public places like movie theaters.

The Black Power Movement also influenced Jimi Hendrix and this was portrayed in his songs. Jimi Hendrix was an American songwriter, rock singer and guitarist; he was also

Vonnegut Barry Sadler singer of the song Ballad of the Green Beret and novelist Kurt Vonnegut maintain comparable tones regarding their literature pieces representing the war and the underlying image that is portrayed by the Green Beret.

On March 26, 2013, Robin Thicke released the single “Blurred Lines”, a song that went on to be the longest running number one single of 2013 (Dredge 1). Thicke anticipated gaining fame from the song’s catchy beat, but the song would also bring him infamy, as many thought the song promoted misogyny and rape culture. Thicke’s hit single eventually reignited a debate over the role of sexism and misogyny in pop culture and music lyrics in particular. A brief analysis of contemporary popular music evidences

Response: The Cave “The Cave” by Mumford and Sons is a song. The song expresses the feeling of darkness and being lost. It is about finding the strength and hope to keep going. “But I will hold on hope,” (line 9) and “And I’ll find strength in pain,” (line12). The speaker is the songwriter and band members who made the song. The tone is one of which not easily distinguished. The speaker seems hopeful and full of strength, ready to move on and become free.

Battle Hymn of the Republic A1: When I listened to the song in its entirety, rather than what we were instructed to sing in church, I heard many lyrics and music that I had not heard before. The song reminds me of growing up in church. We would sing this song often. However, it was the lyrics were always only accompanied by the piano and maybe the organ.

is a song or just a single word, it can change your whole perspective on things. It can make you love something or it can make you hate it. It can make you laugh or it can make you cry. These are the types of things that you need to think of when writing a patriotic song for their nation. This is why the song, Beasts of England has so much meaning to it. The intro to Beasts of England is what I think is the most important part of the whole song. This is the part that introduces the whole song to us

Long before radios, movies, television and the Internet popularized music, sheet music made compositions of the good old days popular, or at least, known. Defined, sheet music is a printed musical composition. Musicians back then publish their songs in these unbound sheets of paper. Performers also used these as they played a musical piece to an audience. Today, sheet music is still made. However, it is used mainly by musicians such as singers, pianists and guitarists.
