    Although many of the songs on which Starr was the lead vocal were written for him, he did contribute two compositions to the Beatles canon: “Don’t Pass Me By” and “An Octopuses Garden.” In his first compositions, Starr shows complete understanding and acceptance of his persona. Starr’s first contribution to the Beatles canon, “Don’t Pass Me By,” came six years after the release of the Beatles first single and was worked on, by its composer, for five years (Macdonald 286). The song is a “country-and-western style embellished with bluegrass violin”…

    Pass the Mic is a proposed all-day storytelling event which seeks to listen and value marginalized voices and their stories in Australia. After critically analyzing the work of Hage and Alcoff two strengths can be recognized in the proposal.

    The bass is one of the pioneer string instrument jazz musicians started to use around the 1890’s to provide a low-pitched bass line that would outline the chord sequences of any song. Before jazz, the bass was mostly known for its use in grand orchestras. The double bass arose in Germany during the late 1650’s. It was mostly used in Orchestras for classical music, creating a low pitched base for the violins and violas while harmonizing with the cellos. As time evolved, around 1890, the African American communities in early New Orleans began jazz ensembles that played a mixture of marches, ragtimes or dixieland songs.…

    Misogynistic lines such as, ‘Slut, you think I wont choke no whore til the vocal chords don’t work in her throat no more?’, conveys that a women’s voice has no significance in society and should be silenced with force. These lyrics employ misogyny to legitimize domestic violence and highlight that women should be compliant and domesticated by men. Women feel disempowered by the song as it creates an ‘ideology that reduces women to objects for men’s ownership, use or abuse.’ (Cundiff, 2013). Overall the song interprets the negative notion of a man’s suppressive and hostile actions towards a…

    In the poem, The Thing Is, Bass tells about life falling apart right in front of you, “like burnt paper in your hands”. From that single line, I can tell something has happened to her where she felt like it was the end of everything. She watched as her world slipped right through her fingers and couldn’t put them together fast enough. Grief is almost talked about as a being, “When grief sits with you, its tropical heat thickening the air”. Do you ever feel so overwhelmingly sad that you can’t seem to swallow or catch your breathe?…

    Funk Music Analysis

    Funk music as an expression brought with it a newly packaged music that was capable of fully embracing both the performers’ and audiences energies. Funk emphasized dancing and how it further expressed implicit meanings not always explicitly understood through the lyrics. Funk music opened the door for a particular subculture, black youth, to take their form of dance expression and broadcast it across the United States through the culturally important program Soul Train. In particular, the importance of individual, creative dance broke the mold of many of the dancing trends in music that preceded it. This important aspect of musical expression transcended the era of funk and to this day dancing is still just as important in the world of music…
