2004 songs

Album Review. Likes: The Great Forever, Shoulda' Known Better, Night, Gon' B Alright Dislikes: Burn It Up! Overall: Back to the strong suit of lyrical social consciousness; musically, it lost my attention 11 years ago, Janet Jackson endured a ridiculous backlash and blacklisting after her breast was accidentally shown during her Superbowl halftime performance. The incident nearly, if not actually, ruined her current album, Damita Jo's, chances of getting the acknowledgement it deserved. Over…

The song is cool and chill, and the instrumentation that Leadbelly uses is guitar. I also notice the call and response in this piece of music. For example he sang the line of “My girl, my girl, don’t you lie to me..where did you sleep last night,” and then he followed by saying “Come on and tell me somebody.” I think Leadbelly should be recognize as an artist or musician in the society. Despite of his heinous crimes, it should not be affected in his career as a musician. Personal life and his…

The song that I chose was “Sea” by BTS. The song holds a lot of meaning, to not just me, but to a lot of people worldwide. I chose this song because it has a lot of hidden meaning behind it, more than what we can observe. I feel like I can connect with this song because the song talks about how to think positive when your having a hard time, and I tend to do that. One of the lines that I feel has the biggest impact on me is, “Even if I’m nervous, even if I’m in a desert / I’m in the beautiful…

Every song written has a special meaning behind it. Especially Taylor Swifts music, she is unlike other artists. She never had issues with drugs or alcohol, along with teen pregnancy like most celebrities did at a young age. During her teenage years she was singing. Every time she releases a song, they get more powerful. No matter how hard or painful it is for her to sing about a certain topic, she still does. She sings about past real life experiences and while doing this she is connecting to…

The group of musicians and song I have chosen is Black Eyed Peas featuring Justin Timberlake: Where is the Love (United States, c. 2003 ). The genre of this phenomenal song is in the hip-hop category. In existence, there are two versions of this song—the first one was release in 2003 and the second version which featured other musicians was released in 2016. I am focusing on the first version because I find the philosophical statements that truthfully depict the path human beings on the Earth is…

Most songs on the radio today consist of lyrics. When an artist sits down to create music they are channeling a certain experience they may have had in their life. Whether that experience is heartbreak or a new relationship, even something that happened in the past. They put their feelings and experiences into the lyrics of their song. Some lyrics may have multiple meanings. In Kelly Clarksons song “Piece by Piece” she sings about the pain she felt toward her father leaving when she was young…

Mockingbirds are beautiful, singing many songs. Showing up in many ways. They do nothing other than amuse and sing for listeners enjoyment, but why hurt them? Jeremy Finch, son of Atticus Finch, brother of Scout and a citizen of Maycomb. In the beginning Jem is 10 years old and through the book ages 3 years and becomes 13. After growing up, Jem becomes courageous, protective, loving and caring. He is like a mockingbird once he grows up a bit he becomes really nice but he still gets insulted and…

Bob Dylan’s captivating autobiography, Chronicles, follows his experiences in New York City and his brief global concert tours as he pursued a career, as well as his own artistic identity, through music. Folk music, specifically, is at the forefront of Dylan’s storytelling in which a great deal of his interactions and friendships are closely tied to this genre, as well as the lifestyle associated with it. However, Dylan also introduces biblical allusions and religious connotations by gradual…

Hardships Musical artists throughout the centuries sing about their hardships in music. The context of the song can be the theme of either life or death. Each song becomes literary by speaking to the depressed listener through emotions given by the lyrics or tone. Even if the song 's topic hasn 't been experienced by them directly. According to Levitin in the chapter explaining comfort songs, "The connection - even to a stranger - helps the process of recovery, for so much getting better…

spends a lot of time warming up their voice, practicing their assigned music, memorizing the words to their songs, learning how to pronounce foreign songs, and learning about the composer and writer of the song they are singing. Vocal Major’s spend most of their time in music practice rooms learning rhythms, playing their notes on the piano, and memorizing the songs. Learning the rhythms to the song requires prior knowledge of the amount of time you give certain beats. According to my vocal…
