Summary Of The Song 'Go Set A Watchmen'

That’s a line only a good guy could think of. Yes, a player could use it as a manipulation tool but if a guy says it with an ounce of sincerity you know he has a heart of gold. This tune should be the good guys anthem. He sings about getting over jealousy, raising kids, basically being the best man for this particular girl.

I wonder if the girl in this song is a bit of a free spirit. With an opening verse referencing her “wandering parts” and the chorus’ final line being “I will hold you down” one has to wonder. I was reminded of this girl while reading the Wall Street Journal on Friday morning. In the Arena section I read the first chapter of “Go Set A Watchmen,” the sequel to “To Kill A Mockingbird” and this song seemed a perfect match

    Song Analysis: Of Mice And Men By John Steinbeck

    In the novella Of Mice and Men written by John Steinbeck the main protagonist and his friend’s relationship reflect the lyrics of the song written by Lifehouse.

To open, despite George constantly saying that he should have left Lennie a long time ago, he never does until the very end when he is forced by the circumstances. On page 11, George says: “‘ If I was alone, I could live so easy.…

    Thus, despite his liaisons he always finds himself coming back to her. Yet, she is not content with this relationship. Her repetition of “I can do this” comes with a lack of sincerity. Just because she comes off as pure and sweet does not make it so. She clearly desires the man in the poem, she clearly disapproves of his womanizing.…

    Analysis Of Brent Staples's 'Just Walk On By'

    “It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences” (Audre Lorde). Immense fear of those of a different race has become such a deep-rooted part of society that it often goes unnoticed in people’s everyday lives. In Brent Staples’ “Just Walk on By”, a black man ponders his power to change public space. Staples speaks of how he deals with the burdens borne by someone who sees himself and is seen by others, as an outsider.…

    America the Beautiful There is only one solitary factor that makes us all Americans; that is what makes it so beautiful!

    Rhetorical Analysis I M Not The Only One

    It shows that marriage can be corrupt and that cheating will cause a lot of person to your “significant other.” This song really is for anyone that has experienced or is going through a marriage or even just a relationship finding out that their significant other is cheating. Sam Smith must’ve gone through something very similar to depict this picture into this song. The pathos in this song is very strong.…

    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.…

    Misogyny In The Music Industry

    Misogynistic lines such as, ‘Slut, you think I wont choke no whore til the vocal chords don’t work in her throat no more?’, conveys that a women’s voice has no significance in society and should be silenced with force. These lyrics employ misogyny to legitimize domestic violence and highlight that women should be compliant and domesticated by men. Women feel disempowered by the song as it creates an ‘ideology that reduces women to objects for men’s ownership, use or abuse.’ (Cundiff, 2013). Overall the song interprets the negative notion of a man’s suppressive and hostile actions towards a…

    Analysis Of Before He Cheats By Carrie Underwood

    Interestingly, as she describes each action that he took, she blames that action on some attribute of the woman he was involved with. Throughout the entirety of the song, there is a dearth of any information that could put the “other woman” at fault, such as her knowing that the man pursuing her at the bar is in a relationship, or that she was making a conscious decision to intervene in someone else’s relationship. In other words, the “other woman” was viewed as an object for sex and aggression, even by Underwood herself. This is not an uncommon theme in country music, as mostly male, but occasionally female singers, often include themes of men ‘playing the field,’ in search of sexual encounters, and women as sexual prizes, not to mention sexual violence and nonconsensual sex, all of which can be found in the “Before He Cheats” lyrics (van Oosten et al., 2015). While such themes are now being identified and challenged in modern entertainment, this song has not been a part of this movement, mainly because it is a woman negatively targeting another woman.…

    To Kill A Mockingbird Songs Analysis

    Music Composer for To Kill a Mockingbird • “Ultralight Beam” by Kanye West is the first song on this soundtrack. The second verse by Kelly Price talks about how “You persecute the weak / Because it makes you feel so strong,” similar to when Atticus talks about how Mayella is putting this man on trial so she doesn’t have to deal with the fact she kissed a black man. They both possess the mood of being somber. The song makes you feel as if there are problems that have been corrected and you finally feel free. The book, however, highlights the racial divide between whites and blacks.…

    You Give Love A Bad Name Analysis

    Have you ever heard a song that has impacted your life? Songs are a form of art that allows artists to express their feelings in a form of music. Songs can be interrupted in many ways; some songs have a more literal meaning, while other songs require you to interpret the lyrics to understand the deeper meaning. Artists often use figurative, metaphorical, and poetic elements in their songs to help develop the overall message. The use of figurative terms in a song leaves the interpretation of the song broad and allows the listener to have their own meaning of the song.…

    Analysis Of Skyscraper By Demi Lovato

    Gender issues and separations have been a major disadvantage to women all over the world from years past and even some today. Women were not and or still not treated equally to men and we discriminated against them just because of being a different sex. In America, women were not even allowed to vote until 1918. Even slaves were treated equally much sooner before women were. Luckily, today in the United States, women are allowed to vote and are able to have the same rights as men, but there are theories of men getting paid more than women because of being a different gender.…

    Analysis Of In Ireland, Tuesdays Grace By Bono

    Through time, several historical events have been represented by the principles of hatred, crime and inhumanity. History has told us that hatred and inhumanity comes in many shapes, whether it is due to skin colour, religion or even political persuasions. Furthermore it has told us that it easily evolves into something horrifying. But most importantly history tells us that no hatred or crime are so big that we as human beings can’t cope with it and change it for the better. In the column “In Ireland, Tuesdays Grace” Bono describes the horrifying events that took place on January 30, 1972, a day better known as “Bloody Sunday”.…
