Dvsn In + Out Analysis

Improved Essays
The new mysterious Canadian duo, dvsn, has recently signed with OVO Sound and just dropped SEPT. 5TH, their debut album.
Vocalist, Daniel Daley and the producer responsible for Drake’s “Hotline Bling”, Nineteen85 have come together to make dvsn, a combination that’s sure to be successful. Finding this collaborative project was honestly like hitting the jackpot. It’s such a solid piece of work. This could quite literally be one of the best R&B albums of 2016 so far.
The songs flow from something you’d want to listen to on a warm summer night, driving with the windows down, or at a laid-back party to, quite frankly, in the bedroom. It emanates such good vibes, it’s something you can listen to all the time, and never tire of. The next Bryson Tiller, they’re bound to blow up and become the new wave soon enough.

    W. D. Snodgrass’s “Leaving the Motel” focuses profoundly on language, tone, and symbolism, along with other strategies to express the idea of love as fleeting, yet businesslike. The poem tells a story of the happenings between two people at a motel after a surreptitious sexual meeting. These two people are participating in a secret affair and Snodgrass’s technicality expresses the formality and routine that their connection demands. Although the encounters are businesslike, situations in the poem suggest the two share tenderness and intimacy. However, this is suppressed by the well-organized discerning thoughts and activities of the two lovers as they prepare to leave the motel.…

    I have never thought of a hero being just a regular person with a talent and a kind heart until I heard of Tyler Joseph from the band Twenty One Pilots. Whenever you have to make a choice, he says there will always be the easy route. That is the route that can give you what you want right away. But in the end, that’s the wrong choice.

    In the twenty-first century we tend to distract ourselves with technology that keeps us from taking the time to genuinely think, or rather that is what twenty one pilots want you to see. “Car Radio,” written by Tyler Joseph of twenty one pilots, is based from a personal experience Joseph had where his car radio was stolen and the experiences that followed. It, and the associated music video, produce the argument that we need to spend more of our lives in silence rather than surrounded by sound. The rhetoric of twenty one pilot’s “Car Radio” is effective because of emotional appeals to ethos, logos, and pathos. Twenty one pilots establish their credibility by placing themselves in a place of power and control in their music video for “Car Radio.”…
