Who remembers George Jones and Merle Haggard? George and Merle had their own style of music. They sang the traditional kind of music, but you don’t hear it that much these days. Country music today is going towards the pop genre and it’s not like it was in the 1970’s or even 1980’s. There’s one certain guy who has his own twists to music, his own style of the traditional era and has kept it around for as long as most people can remember.…
Jessica Risner Heather Ward English 1101-41 October 5, 2015 “Love You Forever” Literary Analysis One of my favorite stories to read to my daughter is “Love You Forever” by Robert Munsch. The story is about a mother who sneaks into her son’s room, once he is sleeping, and sings a song to him. She sings to him these words “I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always, as long as I’m living, my baby you’ll be (pg. 14).” My favorite part about this story is that once her son is a teenager, and even a grown adult, she still sneaks into his room and sings her song to him.…

The roots of modern country music go back to post World War II America, a time of great shifts and changes in the social life of the country. For many, the casualties of war were followed by the social changes of the new era. The city (and its suburbs) became the core of America, and migration to these cities, easier credit (and the things it purchased), and the baby boom became new realities to which the culture had to adjust. It its essence, country music reflected the new concerns of its audience and the new secular order. Critics admit that it was at this time that country music began to develop, in Nashville, a critical mass artistically.…
As you get older you tend to reflect more on your life and get your priorities together. You tend to realize who and what is important, the people who mean the most to you and the ones you can’t live without. Who would those significant individuals be for you? For most people it would be their parents. In the poems “My Father’s Song” by Simon J. Ortiz, and “My Mother” by Ellen Bryant Voigt, both writers express their emotion towards a parent.…
The song also displays the use of “you” which is pushing the listener to go out and do something or trying to persuade them. This makes the song more dramatic and gives very assertive directions for the audience. The listener may feel as though it is now their duty to follow through with these commands due to the direction and emotion in the…

When I was just a toddler, I would try to climb in the dishwasher and take everything out while mom was trying to do the dishes. In order to keep me from doing that, dad needed to play video games as long as they entranced me. One of the games he played was The Legend of Zelda. Growing up with this game and spending time with my dad while he played it fueled the love I developed for this game and it’s music. The first four songs on the soundtrack of my life, composed by Koji Kondo, are songs from that video game.…
Most of the songs use figurative language and make a clear and concise connection with the reader and make it understandable easily. The song “Beautiful” by Christina Aguilera tells us to keep our head up high and don’t let anyone’s opinion disgrace us. The important aspects that make “Beautiful” a song to listen is the use of figurative language. The Writer uses metaphors to compare something that is different to the listener. Which also makes his writing even more…

This song means so much to me that it creates a stamp of true love in my heart. For example, two of the verses that caught my attention were: "When I see your face there’s not a thing that I would change ‘cause you’re amazing just the way you are and when you smile the whole world stops and stares for a while ‘cause girl, you’re amazing just the way you are." In relation to my love for this woman, these two verses are the most significant and more meaningful verses of this song. In other words, through my life, this is the piece of the puzzle I was missing. I feel this song is so powerful and so real because it reminds me of my beautiful wife, and that she is the spark that I was missing from my life.…
What is it about music that draws us in? Is it the beat, the lyrics, the artist or is it the type of genre the music is in? Could it even just be what we happen to be going through at the time we hear a specific song? For me most of these questions apply to specific times in my life where music helped me out of pain, stress, loss and even despair. There are a few of these times that stand out more than other because they have had a harder impact on me.…
