The Distinct Voice Of Elvis

Improved Essays
This song starts off very upbeat. Elvis begins singing almost immediately when the song begins. The lyrics are so simple that it is very easy to sing right along with him because the chorus just repeats and repeats. It is broken up with instrument solos which I think is very important to add in since the entire song is very repetitive. Either way, it is Elvis and he had an amazing and distinct voice that it was difficult not to like this song.

    I noticed right away that the song was written 4/4 time. This meter was consistent throughout the entire song. The drums, and horns played first followed by a group of male vocals.

    I found myself looking and searching for songs from the 1900 through the 1953 period and something told me to go to Nat King Cole music because I really enjoyed his music the first time the class had to write about him and other artist. So, I'm going through most of Nat King Cole songs and fell in love with "I Love You For Sentimental Reasons". Nat King Cole is the definition of Popular Singers and Popular Songwriting with the same use in the song "I Love You For Sentimental Reasons", he use in the other songs to get listeners to fell in love, and his music is timeless because love is an ongoing topic in music.

    Recently in modern cinema, the dialogue of movies is ripe with text waiting to be analyzed through a linguistic lens. This can be looked at through the intonation of one’s voice, the “sharpness” of the voice, accent, and the lexical markers that they use. All of these metrics can be used to learn a significant amount of information about the character. The fine balance between using horrendous stereotypes and leaving too much up for interpretation is one often walked too far on either side in Hollywood. When walking this fine line, one can often make characters seem like borderline offensive representations of cultures.…
