Fight song

identifying ourselves with a song. We also learned the effect of Stockholm Syndrome, and I thought that it was interesting to relate this event to the saying of “which came first the chicken or the egg”. The following lines will depict my point. Many believe that choosing “your song” has to do with whether or not the song does something for the person, or if the lyrics and melodies are congruent with one’s personality. However, it was interesting to view the act of choosing a song through the…

A few years ago, one of my good friends sent me some songs to listen to by a band that I had never heard of called Twenty One Pilots. Their sound was completely different from anything I had ever heard before, containing some rap, a ukulele, and a piano all in one album. No one song sounded like the other, but they all contained one common element: some type of deep message hidden in the lyrics. At first, I rejected the band, not liking the way the music sounded, but when I listened again,…

I chose the song Baby Got Back because i thought the words mixed up were very funny. Instead of hearing the words “I like big butts and I cannot lie”, people heard “I like big butts in a can of limes.” I t is really funny to think about the words and how similar they sound ("I like big butts in a can of limes” n.p.). Another song I chose was Ain't Talkin 'Bout Love. Listeners heard the lyrics as “Ain't Taco Bell love.” Since I love food I though it was an appropriate one to choose ("Ain't Taco…

then? Cause I'm coming home again. I'm coming home again.” The lyrics is talking about Mr. West returning to his hometown. Which is a metaphor for returning to his roots. Going back to the basics, starting over again. In the music video and in the song Mr. West used Chicago as personification acting as though she is a girl or a real person. He’s acting as though he could have a conversation with her/ Chicago. In his first verse Mr. West being by telling the story of his city by saying, “I met…

The song is cool and chill, and the instrumentation that Leadbelly uses is guitar. I also notice the call and response in this piece of music. For example he sang the line of “My girl, my girl, don’t you lie to me..where did you sleep last night,” and then he followed by saying “Come on and tell me somebody.” I think Leadbelly should be recognize as an artist or musician in the society. Despite of his heinous crimes, it should not be affected in his career as a musician. Personal life and his…

The song that I chose was “Sea” by BTS. The song holds a lot of meaning, to not just me, but to a lot of people worldwide. I chose this song because it has a lot of hidden meaning behind it, more than what we can observe. I feel like I can connect with this song because the song talks about how to think positive when your having a hard time, and I tend to do that. One of the lines that I feel has the biggest impact on me is, “Even if I’m nervous, even if I’m in a desert / I’m in the beautiful…

Every song written has a special meaning behind it. Especially Taylor Swifts music, she is unlike other artists. She never had issues with drugs or alcohol, along with teen pregnancy like most celebrities did at a young age. During her teenage years she was singing. Every time she releases a song, they get more powerful. No matter how hard or painful it is for her to sing about a certain topic, she still does. She sings about past real life experiences and while doing this she is connecting to…

The group of musicians and song I have chosen is Black Eyed Peas featuring Justin Timberlake: Where is the Love (United States, c. 2003 ). The genre of this phenomenal song is in the hip-hop category. In existence, there are two versions of this song—the first one was release in 2003 and the second version which featured other musicians was released in 2016. I am focusing on the first version because I find the philosophical statements that truthfully depict the path human beings on the Earth is…

Most songs on the radio today consist of lyrics. When an artist sits down to create music they are channeling a certain experience they may have had in their life. Whether that experience is heartbreak or a new relationship, even something that happened in the past. They put their feelings and experiences into the lyrics of their song. Some lyrics may have multiple meanings. In Kelly Clarksons song “Piece by Piece” she sings about the pain she felt toward her father leaving when she was young…
