Für Elise by Beethoven is the song that expresses who I am. When I started playing piano, I got frustrated that most of my family had a natural talent while I didn't. My father talked to me and gave me one of the most important lessons of my life: "Practice makes perfection, if you want something, insist until you get it". After playing piano as a hobby, at age 17 I decided to take my skills to the next level by taking piano lessons at college and I challenged myself to first learn how to play Für Elise. It wasn't easy, but practice made perfection.…
“I’m so much stronger.” Music is something that everyone can share and love together, it is a universal language. There are many great songs that have been released by numerous artist throughout many years of the Music Industry, but everyone has one song that they love.

It’s been 10 years since the last Missy Elliott album, and her return to the public eye with “WTF (Where They From)” is an unexpectedly huge breath of fresh air. Pharrell Williams’ production fits Elliott perfectly - it’s always shifting, dangerous, tasteful, plastic, colorful. Descending bass hits trigger indecipherable samples and airhorns; Elliott’s flow on top is memorable as she lingers on the last word of a line, “The dance that you doing is dumbbbbb, how they do it where you from?” The lyrics themselves are scathing and convicted, a middle finger to the Miley Cyrus-led wave of cultural appropriation as well as a justification of her own return. “Ugh, I’m so far ahead of y’all,” she mentions among a barrage of memorable lines.…

I chose the song "Break Up In A Small Town" because it accurately describes my life. About 6 months ago, my boyfriend and I broke up. Once we broke up I started talking to one of his friends, but not out of spite. We seemed very compatible and liked each other very much. I actually started listening to this song during the mess, and told everyone that the song described my life perfectly.…
The spotlight is in my eyes. The hubbub dies down to an anticipatory, judgmental silence, daring me to break it. I look back, making sure the band is ready. Thumbs up: it’s time to roll. I tap my foot to the rhythm.…
The author of,”Who understands me but me” by Jimmy Santiago Baca is about how he's in prison with other people going through the same problems. The poem goes into detail about his depression, he doesn't show that he's in prison, he gives details and shows he's not in a good state of happiness right now. The man writing the message sounds like he's done life, he is depressed and you can tell that because on line 4 of the poem he tells,”They lock my cage, so i live without going anywhere.” He shows that he's in this state of depression, which he cannot escape because people don't accept as by line 14,”They separate me from my brothers”...…
The song I chose is “Surfin’ U.S.A.”, is characterized by the Beach Boys. I chose this song because of how laid back the tune sounds and makes me want to relax. It’s relaxing because the song reminds me of the beach and the sounds of the waves. In the song it talks about how they will be gone for the summer and to tell the teacher they have gone surfing. The summer always reminds me of the beach and all the surfers in the water.…
I chose this song because it was very classic and I like this song. I listened to this since I was a kid and my dad is singing it on the karaoke machine. Also, this was a favorite song of my special friend because he loves the Guns N’ Roses so much. He always played this song on the guitar and I am the one who singing the lyrics out loud. It was only a casual jamming session in our house and nothing serious.…

Welcome to my Life(Beginning) Welcome to my life would introduce to the viewers the aching of stress and discomfort which is could similarly connect to the novel. The song develops the main idea of being stressful and internally hurt, but not showing it publicly. For example, their feelings may be torn apart and heavy stress may be upon whomever. Although Hannah does not show this until the tapes, she hid it inside for a long period of time which she states in her tapes. The most demonstrative example is when she talks about peeping Tom which made her very worried and full of discomfort.…
