Bowery Songs

Mockingbirds are so good at imitating sounds that acoustical analysis could not tell the difference between the original song or the mockingbird (Wild Birds unlimited). Mocking birds will be the main subject for this paper. This research paper will cover the basics for mockingbirds, vocalizations of the mockingbirds, and interactions with humans and other mockingbirds. The first topic is the basics including habitat, nesting, and feeding. Mockingbirds have nearly disappeared on the East Coast…

Tim Bowness, one of the most expressive voices in contemporary music returns with the second chapter of his brand new, solo sonic experiments. Released roughly a year after Abandoned Dancehall Dreams, Stupid Things That Mean The World can be seen as a direct follow-up that not only manages to consolidate his strengths, but also seek to further explore new territories. I was anxious to hear the results as the man never fails to create something interesting and gripping. Although a sequel, STTMTW…

The song i choice is J.cole love yourz. The reason is pick my song because it portrays that woman and men should embrace what they have in life and not take what they have in life for granted. The artist is talking about how you shouldn’t falling in love with other people lives because you don’t know if their happy with their life. He states that there's no life better than yours. He talks about how we live in a modern day in time where in society where people look to other people for guidance,…

“I’m about to go on these roads, all left alone on these roads, I’m about to put these holes inside of my ego” those words are how I ended my first album. I wrote that song when I was 19 and didn’t understand the full meaning until a few weeks ago. What “Outside II” means is basically letting go of the past and starting new, something that I have failed to do. In the past few months I have made difficult changes within my life and as a result, I am currently increasingly depressed. The number…

row, row your boat, gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, Life is but a dream.” That is the first song I was introduced to as a child growing up and I never really put much thought into what that song really meant. Was it just catchy to me and I enjoyed singing along to it? I have always felt that there was more to it, than just a song. I started developing an idea that this song, was a filtered way of telling your children how reality really works. At Least how they thought it…

OCE #1:”What`s Your Theme Song?” What thoughts do you have when you hear someone saying “It is my song”? For me, the song is a cultivation of emotions that affects others people`s lives. The song can help people in difficult times: support them, give them hope and encourage striving for new achievements. A song is a reflection of a person’s inside. It is possible to understand someone`s thoughts and dreams, hopes, and values by knowing their musical preferences. A song is the most intimate…

The sixties filled ears with happiness and tranquillity, yet it never failed to disappoint certain individuals. Songs were written for the purpose of enhancing one's emotions and turning someone into a better person. When Elvis Presley wrote “If I Can Dream”, he addressed the theme of despondency as many find themselves lost in an unforeseeable future. However, the theme bounces back to hopefulness as Presley exaggerates hope that one day his dream will come true. His lyrics serve as a complaint…

The song I have chosen to analyze is Lover You should have come over. It was written and performed by the artist, Jeff Buckley and appears as the seventh track on his debut album entitled, Grace. The album was recorded at, Bearsville studios in, Woodstock, New York and released under the Columbia record label in August of 1994. The song begins with a dreamy organ intro that is preformed rubato. The melody is in a minor key, the melody is conjunct and legato giving it a gospel and dissonant feel…

“Students who are pressured to be number one live in between dreams and reality” (ibighit, 2013). The song I chose is titled, “N.O,” sung by South Korean hip-hop group, BTS. In both the music video and in the lyrics for N.O, BTS showcase how they want youth to overthrow goals that others have set for them, and start to find their own happiness. Hence the lyrics, “Everybody say NO! It can’t be any later. Don’t be trapped in someone else’s dream” (ibighit, 2013). The music video shows the…
