will agree that such a vital matter requires a good degree of forthrightness especially for young people. I find it difficult to believe that a young person whose mind is filled with songs that have lyrics like “it’s going to rain men today” could have a healthy love life. The simple reason for my skepticism is because matters of grave importance like love are trivialized on the platter of pleasure. I 'm being sincere here, I promise; but I believe we might not be able to give a perfect definition and a generally acceptable description of irony (insincerity) for the simple reasons that its contextual meaning varies widely and also people reason differently. For instance, Alanis Morissette’s song titled ironic has over the years generated more arguments than many songs would ever do. Some people believe that Alanis gave a good rendition of irony in the various situation described in the song, while many others believe that none of the scenario is fit for a good description of irony. This debate is just proof that people have divers views on what an irony is. In its simple description, irony is about saying the opposite of what you really mean, and that is where the issue of insincerity comes in.

that he needs help. Therefore, it is clear that the song “Agony” by Paloma Faith relates to the fact that Nic Sheff has two views on his addiction. The part where he knows that he needs help, and also the part of him that feels like he can’t let go. Secondly, like most addicts, when the drugs start to wear off, they usually feel the need to use again right away to help them escape from the reality upon them. Nic Sheff does this as well. He is a guy who is very self-conscious and has many…
among the 50 states. Request the average person in the pub when they are conscious of any Canadian music artists, and when you receive any response, you'll hear Celine Dion or Shania Twain, possibly even Bryan Adams or Neil Youthful. While they are certainly gifted music artists themselves, they actually don't represent the breadth and depth from the Canadian music scene. A few of the lack of knowledge is because of the cultural commonalities between ourselves and our neighbors towards the…
threat. The Beatles had to stop doing interviews because they would ask Lennon absurd questions. This later on caused the group to fall apart. In April of 1970, the group then disbanded.
