Comparing Love Songs

Improved Essays
There are two songs that describe my life at the moment. These two are “Pursuit of Happiness” by Kid Cudi and “The Heart Wants What it Wants” by Selena Gomez. These two songs are both my favorite and have an inspiring message behind the lyrics.
The first song, Pursuit of Happiness, is a good inspirational song to listen to for confidence, happiness, and pleasure. This song is about finding happiness. The artist (Kid Cudi) is on the search for ultimate happiness and will do whatever it takes to obtain it, no matter what others say. I like this song because I’m able to relate to it easily. I want to know the secret to eternal happiness. I want to wake up every morning happy and never fearing a single thing. I want to life the perfect life.

    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.

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 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.…

    Music lyrics express emotions, experiences, and tell stories. They are used to communicate with other people and for the artist to express themselves through song. “Music is what feelings sounds like” (Georgia Gates).

Many favorite artists come from unique backgrounds, “some had to deal with their friends dying … others had to deal with their mothers being prostitutes, and maybe they had to deal with not having their dad around” (University Wire).…

    When it comes down to the songs that will play in the movie of my life, these songs would be dramatic. Every song would have a different meaning, and more attention, destruct and love in it than the last. There are certain songs that are more committed to a certain time or event that has happened. Some are due to it being the song we sang when at the time, some being the lyrics that stuck years later yet most are because of the feeling when the song is first heard. Going as far back that I can remember, most of the songs that I would hear would be on the car rides to school or camp.…
