“The Christian life was never meant to be lived alone. Together we’re a body. A family. The people of God” -Matthew West.

Matthew West is my favorite singer for may reasons. One reason is that he inspires me to not go through my life alone and how to be a better person. His songs are always their to help me through thick and thin. Sometimes, people need something like that to live life to the fullest.

Singer is my favorite character of this book because he demonstrates his loyalty in the very first paragraph. I have great respect for people who have undying respect for…

Even if I am having the most stressful day of my life I can turn to music and all…

The songs all range in their original sounds, but when mashed together the same singers sing the song.

This piece has influence to the world to me because it shows that artist can recreate someone else’s song and make it into their own unique work. The listeners should…

each chapter is better than the one before.” I also want one of his or my family members that’s not part of the wedding party to read the cliché but loved bible verse 1 Corinthians 13. Music is the greatest coping mechanism I have, and when people say they love music, I don’t necessarily believe them, because I love music, every genre, almost every band, composer, singer/songwriter, rapper, opera singer, anyone that makes music I probably like at least one of there songs. Our first dance song…
“Piano”, Lawrence begins by stating, “softly in the dusk, a woman is singing to me” (1). By using descriptive text throughout the poem, Lawrence illustrates the memory of, “hymns in the cozy parlor, the tinkling piano our guide” (8). Lawrence explains that the singer is “taking me back down the vista of years” which makes it clear that the music the singer played has a strong connection with that his mother used to play (2). He uses imagery to illustrate the climax of the poem, as well as, his…
