Everyone has or had troubles trying to find themselves in life. Making a name for yourself and becoming a good soul is one of the hardest things to do. There’s pressure, anxiety, and way too much judgement. My favorite band, The Goo Goo Dolls, put so much feeling and meaning in their songs. They sing Iris, my favorite song, which talks about being true to yourself and not taking life for granted.…

The band The Maine, formed in 2007 in Arizona, uses contrasting themes of happiness and sadness throughout their album American Candy, from which the song “(Un)Lost” comes. “(Un)Lost” is a song about finding oneself and recognizing the potential in themselves. From the title alone, it can be inferred that the song will discuss themes of being found and becoming lost, and in the context of the song this translates to finding oneself. The parenthesis around the ‘un’ part of the title signifies the simplicity of becoming lost. It is so easy to lose oneself in the modern world, and while recognizing this, the songwriter hints to the meaning of the song.…
Growing up as a 90’s kid music played a big role in my life. I guess you could say Coldplay has always played a big part within in the music I was raised with. I am in love with the sound of their music, the way it can make you feel so relaxed and happy at the same time. Without any other reason, that why I decided to write this article on them.…
Up till now I have focused on the lyrics of the songs, but the music is as important in telling the story. As we travel through Pink’s life we imagine hearing the chapters’ flip as the intensity of the lyrics change, as well as, the pattern of music. The album starts with a flashback of Pink performing at a concert. You can feel the sense of a musician he is: a rock star. The guitar is loud; one might say the guitar solo has a similar sound as a Jimi Hendrix guitar solo.…
Introduction Domestic violence is everywhere around us and for some of us it is not something new. It comes in many forms physical, emotional, and psychological. The abuse is very real and when it starts we are the last to notice it. Nothing is worse then being the person on the outside looking in watching mothers, sisters, and friends go through it without being able to do anything is hard.…
Humans are often discriminated based on race, religion, and ethnicity. African-Americans have been oppressed with racial discrimination among other things their right to vote was denied to them by the white settlers. Their whole life they were being treated unequally, they were discriminated and ambushed daily. Holiday performed “Strange Fruit,” she was jeopardizing herself in terms of releasing the song out in 1939, this song made Americans look bad because they were harmful to the Africans. This song was written to get an image of how African Americans were being treated in the South between 1882 and 1968.…
Conclusion The hypothesis for how 80’s music would make it harder for the participants to focus was accepted. The data used from the experiment that supports the hypothesis was the different genres of music that each participant listened to, one of the genres of music was 80’s music and the participants that listened to 80’s music had a harder time focusing on the worksheet and got more time for the trials with music than without music. I think the results came out the way they did is because when your doing a math worksheet especially basic multiplication you have to be able to think hard. Trying to think hard while listening to music isn’t easy.…

This song talks about the speaker who is abused by her boyfriend but she stands by him because she loves him. This is similar to when we find out that Mayella was abused by her father but still loves him because well, it’s her father. They both show unhealthy relationships and how bad things can be at home. The mood in both of this song and the book is desperate. They are both desperate for love and will do anything to stay by their family/man.…
When I first read the title of the movie, I did not think that it was going to be about Alzheimer disease. “Still Alice” appears to be a positive movie title. Consequently, I thought that the movie would be based on something positive. While I watched the movie, I learned that the character is facing the hardship of a rare disease (familial Alzheimer’s disease). The biggest question if whether the character is still Alice because of the changes that she is going through with her disease.…
While driving about I listened to Kanye West and soon I began to consume the lyrics. As I listened, "Runaway" came on. Due to this being one of my favorite songs, it really speaks to me. Over the summer, it, along with the rest of Kanye's music, changed me. Runaway describes his realization of what he's become, and telling his love to run away from him.…
