“Up on Melancholy Hill” by the band Gorillaz is a song from their album “Plastic Beach”, which uses the extended metaphor of a beach formed by trash and plastic that has been collecting on the sea. This song takes place on the island, with two lovers looking out towards the titular Melancholy Hill, with the singer speaking to her. It uses this to make a statement about consumerism, and more specifically how many people try to fill a void inside themselves with consumerism, but can never truly…

The song I have chosen to analyze is “See you again” by Wiz Khlafia. The lyrics main message is that you can just meet a random person in your life and it can end up being to not just your best friend, but see them as a blood family member. This can be said, because of the following lyrics “And what's small turn to a friendship ,A friendship turn to a bond, And that bond will never be broken,The love will never get lost,And when brotherhood come first, Then the line will never be crossed”.…

This song touches me personally right down to the core when I am in a bad mood it gets me up and motives me to do my best. Katy Perry’s “Firework” song is an empowering thing, full of real people discovering their inner beauty and stepping out loudly and proudly, no matter what their detractors may say. “I think that’s why I wrote it, is because I really believe in people and I believe that people have a spark to be…

they care about their fans. Black veil Brides tend to put a lot of meaning through their songs. Their songs Saviour, Never Give In, and Carolyn, I believe, are the top three with the most meaning flowing through them. “ You're not alone, we’ll face this storm and save today. You're not alone.” These lyrics from the song Carolyn show how much the band cares. A great many people talk about how much the songs that Black Veil Brides put out have help their lives in some way. The meaning that…

” The song “You Are The Best Thing” by Ray LaMontagne portrays just how much he loves his significant other. This can be seen in the lyrics “And baby, the way you move me is crazy… Oh, because you are the best thing.” These lyrics carry over to how the narrator loves her husband. She and her husband have taken this trip for themselves to spend time with each other and focus on just the two of them. However, the last line of the poem is “And I thought the marriage might never end.” The song “Slow…

their options and expand their abilities. In other musical genres, it is rare to see an artist switch their style of music. For example, Desiigner, a rapper, would not think of writing or singing a ballad love song or Metallica, a rock band, would not think of writing or singing a hip hop song. All artists in K-pop go through different eras with their music styles and looks. Most girl groups and artists can go from a cute, bubbly concept for one era and then switch it up to a more dark, sexy…

they’re both gospels. I picked this little light of mine because I grew up listening to this song and always liked it. I can relate because I know no matter what I gave in life I got to shine. Also in this little light of mine they basically saying God is shining his light through them. No matter where you go or do let God use his light in you. So with stand by me it’s the kind of the same thing. I picked this song because I feel God will always stand by me. Through everything I’ve been through…

of each genre greatly differ. For instance, like the southern/western twang of Country’s rhythm or the jagged edginess of Rap, they both have individual ways of expressing their emotions and views to their audience. Even the stereotypical mournful songs of Country compared to the stereotypical gangster, violence-inducing, hoodlum mentalities of Rap has similarities beyond the public eye. The unsuspected truth is that both genres of music are highly alike in their messages through their music,…
