Christmas songs

a) I believe the message of this song is that our generation's duty is to bring change to how we live our lives every day, because if our generation waits, the world will become in a worse state. One particular part of the song where John Legend sings:, "No more broken promises; no more call to war; unless it's love and peace that we're really fighting for; we can destroy hunger; we can conquer hate; put down the arms and raise your voice; we're joining hands today," reveals the true intentions…

There are many songs, past and present that relate to the study of human behavior in society, also known as sociology. The “Man in the Mirror” is a well-known song by Michael Jackson which was released in 1987 on the album “Bad”, a song that I am able to identify with that contains many parts of sociology. I chose the “Man in the Mirror” by Michael Jackson, because it is a song I believe can be connected to different themes and topics of sociology that we have discussed in class; it is well…

Lyrics enhance music and help listeners interpret a story. Words complement the music. A great song would be one that entrails a person and that holds many dynamics. If used correctly, words are used to place meaning and to enhance the piece. When used incorrectly, it can give off a negative notion. If the words don't give meaning to the piece then it mind as well just be noise. I think this because without proper storytelling it gives no connection for the listener to indulge in. This is why…

The Song of Songs was first a carefully crafted collection of secular love poems celebrating the physical, sexual, and erotic love between man and woman. Later, Jewish and Christian custom transformed it into a beautiful manuscript of religious belief. This alteration was deemed necessary once the Song became part of the Bible because God is not cited in the book at all. In the often-quoted passage Song 8:6, one expression, in particular, can be translated as a reference to God or not: The last…

Up till now I have focused on the lyrics of the songs, but the music is as important in telling the story. As we travel through Pink’s life we imagine hearing the chapters’ flip as the intensity of the lyrics change, as well as, the pattern of music. The album starts with a flashback of Pink performing at a concert. You can feel the sense of a musician he is: a rock star. The guitar is loud; one might say the guitar solo has a similar sound as a Jimi Hendrix guitar solo. Digressing from the…

A song that speaks to me is “Warrior” by Demi Lovato. This is a song I listen to when I need a reminder that I am strong. I’ve had an ongoing battle with mental health issues and so has Demi Lovato. When I listen to this song I relate to her because she knows the struggle of mental illness and she writes from her heart. In her song she writes, “ I am a survivor in more ways than you know”, this reminds me that even though I have had a rough path I can still be more than a victim. She also…

world to see that she was human and could be vulnerable like everyone else. The entire album was a masterpiece filled with Black girl magic and truth about life. However, the song that captured the attention of many was entitled, “Sandcastles.” After going through this course, the…

out our Christmas cards and then realize, when it is too late, that we have forgotten someone. You see, we live in a society that has become completely commercialized that puts stress on us to buy, buy, and buy. In the end, the true meaning of Christmas has almost disappeared. There are those who may even say that we should abolish Christmas. But here lies the danger of losing sight of the source of our faith and hope; the Word made Flesh. Therefore, we must always remember that Christmas is…

A Christmas Carol Lead/Hook: “What’s Christmas time to you but a time for paying bills without money; a time for finding yourself a year older, and not an hour richer; a time for balancing your books and having every item in ‘em through a round dozen of months presented dead against you?” (Stave 1) Quick Summary: Charles Dickens didn’t have a pleasant life as a child because his father was imprisoned and he had to work instead of going to school so his family had enough money to survive.…
