Analysis Of Naomi K's Uplifting Song 'Who Knew'

Decent Essays
Naomi K is an Australian Dutch transport now living in Los Angeles, showing America what she has to offer with her latest single, Who Knew. She is a nice refreshing difference from the average and sets the bar a little higher. This heart felt ditty warms the soul from the inside out.

A pretty young lady with a pretty voice singing a lovely uplifting song. She is telling us not to give up and chase your dreams unafraid with no regrets. Lyrically she reveals everyday disappointments, then decorates it with a musical lace.

She planted a seed with a nice and neat acoustic and as the song builds it blooms into something larger than life. I glimmer of hope, a boost of moral, a pat on the back saying, come on we got this, if we work together.

    On Wednesday, October 5, 2016 at 8:00 pm, I have attended a performance by Joy Harjo and her friends Mitch Taylor who played the guitar, Dave Copenhaver who played the bass guitar, and Smiling’ Vic Gutierrez who played the drums and vocals. I had specifically chose this performance to do my report on because I wanted to feel what actual Native American music would be like in concert as opposed to what we naturally think of when it comes to Native American music. For me, that would include heavy drumming and dancing, which are usually even-pulsed with a variety of vocables. Not to my disappointment, the music was unique in its own way and had spoke directly to me.…

    The living conditions of slum-dwellers are way too miserable that it sounds like a long way away story or even a hypothetical scenario. It is hard to imagine what it is like to live in the slums without actually visiting and observing it. However, not everyone gets the opportunity to have this experience; and thus, the best replacement would be to read Katherine Boo’s Behind the Beautiful Forevers. Throughout her book, Boo proves that the poor blame each other for every problem and that the rich also blame the poor for the faults in their governments and the markets. She proves this by examining the daily problems that the slum-dwellers face: poverty, diseases and corruption.…

    Perhaps it’s the history tied to the National Anthem that creates social expectations for professional athletes, and Americans in general, to partake in the patriotism that the song exudes centuries after it was written. Choosing to sit out the tradition seems to make a statement, a very bold one. San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick made a bold statement himself Friday night when he chose to sit out the National Anthem at Levi's Stadium. Kaepernick explained his intentions in an interview with NFL media after the preseason loss to Green Bay, "I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color.”…

    Raeen Roes Wilson or rather ‘Angel Haze’ is nothing short of a gift to listeners who crave raw sound. Almost every song, lyric, and hook recounts her troubled upbringing as well as how she is still able to lift her head up and move onward. She doesn’t feign the “okayness”, often heard from songs about lives of luxury. If Haze is in a bad mood, her music reflects it until the listener experiences it with her. She wields a sound that makes us want to cry with her and laugh with her and flip the world off, if that’s how she’s feeling today.…

    The song also displays the use of “you” which is pushing the listener to go out and do something or trying to persuade them. This makes the song more dramatic and gives very assertive directions for the audience. The listener may feel as though it is now their duty to follow through with these commands due to the direction and emotion in the…

    She's commentating on the lack of rights women have traditionally had, and that despite the fact that we do now have "equal" rights, society still treats women as fragile, pretty creatures instead of as human citizens and people, and asserts that there are things we shouldn't be doing, be allowed to do, or are too weak to…

    Beautifully crafted, Carole King’s album Tapestry is a work of art that I am glad that I got the chance to listen to it. To have such wonderfully created music is a gift.

She has lyrics that provide a realistic outlook on love and life.…

    In J.Coles “She Knows” he uses a juvenile young man to demonstrate the life of a average suburban family and the struggles they go through. By looking at the the two scenes spoken about in this essay, we can see what exactly J.Cole means in his title “She Knows”, which most viewers don’t see; this is important because J.Cole changes the meaning of “She Knows” through the entire music video. The first important scene starts with the young man being dropped off by his mother and father on his way to school. This scene is significant because previously before the young man left the house he stole money from his parents and the young mans mother gazes at him in the car as if she knew what exactly he had done. The second important scene starts with…

    Beyonce Knowles sparked controversy with the release of her self-titled album as it features a song that focuses on feminism, “***Flawless”. The song includes a section of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's TED Talk, “We Should All Be Feminists”, in which she talks about the differences in the social structure of a woman's and a man's life. While men are taught they can do or be anything, women must make choices in life “always keeping in mind that marriage is the most important”. Beyonce's mention of feminism throughout the album caused discussion around the issues of gender equality but unfortunately the topic is not treated as seriously as it used to be. While women have gained rights over the last century that has made them more equal to men, invisible restrains in both the workplace and in everyday life still limit women from reaching complete equality.…
