Songs of the Free

The music industry varies tremendously by genres, feelings, and messages of the song. The genre of the songs I chose is country. Neither of these songs have a negative outlook, unlike most country music nowadays. In the country music world, dearth something other than just breakups and sad outlooks. Not every song as the same exact meanings, but can have the same concept. The songs “When It Rains It Pours” by Luke Combs and “Rain Is a Good Thing” by Luke Bryan have several similarities and differences

and it can make the person become a misogynist and violent. However, I argue that hip hop has been one of the most cultural changing movements in history and it has many positive aspects. For example, the hip-hop group NWA has provided people with free speech in the United States in the 80’s and 90’s. Overall hip-hip has always been a topic, by which people have never like ever since it started and came about. Today many people who would disagree with me

1. What is the artist searching for? I think that this song is very much about decision-making, and searching for the right answers. It is about the singer’s stress to constantly make the right choices and how the path they have taken may be leading them astray. 2. What are their beliefs? A sense of spirituality is definitely present, but the specific beliefs of the singer are quite open to interpretation. 3. What has prompted the search? The search is prompted by someone being tired of always

In Katy Perry’s song “Roar,” she inspires several to stand up for what they believe in and not let other people push them down. It is trying to motivate people to come back as a better and stronger person and be proud of who you are. The lyrics in this song are very inspirational considering the fact that they are trying to explain that you don’t have to be afraid of other people and know that you are an excellent person. We should be proud of who we are and accept the fact that we are going to get

territory. That is followed by a few short riffs in free time, before returning to the main riff for a third verse around 5.50. The main riff is repeated until about 6.40, when the song slowly starts accelerating, finishing in 20 seconds of psychedelic cacophony – which is simply too much for many listeners. The second track, “I Talk to the Wind”, provides a mellow rest after the dense amalgamation of noises towards the conclusion of the first track. The song starts with a flute, before a double-tracked

explicitly talking about sexual acts and fantasies. However, most of these sexual fantasies are in the male’s perspective. Female MC’s also give in to the superficial beliefs of the genre. For example, rapper Nicki Minaj collaborated with Drake in the song “Up all Night,” where she bragged, “I make the kind of money that make a broke bitch bitter…Which bitch you know made a million off a mixtape? That was just a keepsake. Bought the president the Louie presidential briefcase” (Minaj, 2010, track 6).

In this song we are now observing very recent history and the beginning of the black lives matter movement in response to the highly publicized cases of police brutality against African Americans. This song has a strong message for its listeners that brings up the mentality of African American’s in the modern era in the face of continuing systematic racism.

They are individualist they want to be able to get out of the re-education program. To do that Four-Eyes has to gather folk songs and print them. They are corrupt in a way they are

The poem “Her Kind” by Anne Sexton details a dark walk down memory lane where the speaker of the poem is remembering all the things she has been in the past. What is known about the speaker is that she is a woman and what is learnt through her situation is her path already being determined. The speaker does not remain angered in the matter of her gender but it becomes the basis of her solidarity with everything outside the fold. In the first stanza, the speaker claims herself to be a witch in a possessed

book I am J by Cris Beam uses a variety of plot elements to tell to story. Certain songs can reflect each of these elements. The introduction is similar to the song “Somewhere I Belong” by Linkin Park. In the introduction, J Silver is introduced. J is a 17 year old female-to-male transgender living in Manhattan. He is somewhat of an outcast because of the way he looks, and only has one friend. This is shown in the song with the line “I want to heal/I want to feel”. All J wants is to find a place where
