(1) This form creates contrasts in texture, dynamics, and sometimes melody. The entire ensemble is used together for certain sections of the piece, other parts change key and tempo and return back to the home key at the end.

transformation of a troubled soul and also relays a positive message. From the powerful melody to the meaningful lyrics, Eminem and others involved created a sense of togetherness with an audience that has also experienced the ups and downs life has to offer. At the start of the song, Eminem talks over the chorus as if he was reflecting on his life;which in turn creates a juxtaposition between the positive melody and his negative past.
