beginning, middle and an end. Metallica 's song "One" is a great example of this musical structure. Based on the book "Johnny Got His Gun" by Dalton Trumbo, the song 's context is referring to an incapacitated soldier who is searching for death after losing all hope in living. The details of helplessness explain in the lyrics such as, "Darkness/Imprisoning me/All that I see/Absolute horror/I cannot live/I cannot die/Trapped in myself" (Metallica). Indirectly, I can identify with the words and the tone of the song, although I 've never felt what it 's like to be incapacitated. However, I have experienced the inclination of being trapped, so it helps me connect the same when I sing to the song. Another wonderful example of indirect relation is Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young 's "Wooden Ships." "Horror grips us as we watch you die/All we can do is echo your anguished cries/Stare as all human feelings die" (CSNY). The main character in this song is trying to survive during a nuclear holocaust while accepting that there is nothing they can do as people die. Although I haven 't known a nuclear holocaust; the sensation of sadness I get when I hear the harmonizing singing of the words die and cries I can compare to from past knowledge. People naturally sync with certain expressive phrases or sounds that give us a similar feeling of what humans go through. Imagining myself as these characters who’ve transpired through a lot helps in realizing that my life isn 't as bad, even if it’s…

Women have already made great strides as a community in establishing gender equality, but, at times it is not enough. Men need…

recorded by the most popular artists of the time like Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby and Nat King Cole. And usually altered to fit the artist and for them to have their own interpretation of the song. These songs would become hits and be recorded for years to come. Cole Porter was by far one of the best at writing these standards, while he was writing music in his later life he had mastered the craft by writing simple songs with dummy lyrics “I Love You” which was popularized by Bing Crosby in 1944.…

The book of Ruth takes you through the story of the loyalty to God that was found through Judges. Life in a place that REMAINED loyal to God during the time of the…

Jeroboam should have refused the kingdom just like Moses and David did. Solomon’s…

Not only is David running away for his life in 1 Samuel 25, but he also has to deal with people who do not respect him and challenge his honor.

Why do Nabal’s men and wife Abigail go behind Nabal’s back to appease David, when that is the exact opposite of what Nabal does as the head of the household? The main…
