The song “***Flawless” was written and performed by American singer Beyoncé, featuring an excerpt from a talk given by Nigerian writer and self-proclaimed feminist, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. It should be known that Beyoncé once participated in a show called Star Search with a big dream, only to lose out against another competitor. This is also mentioned in the music video that accompanies this song. It should also be noted that she is unusually aggressive in this song. Musically, the song has a…

movie feature great themes about friendship, but the sound track includes a rather catchy song titled “All Star” by the band Smash Mouth. This song was my favorite when I was little because of its catchy upbeat tune that tends to stick to young minds, but looking back on that song now, I have discovered that the song has a great underlying message people of all ages can relate to. In the pre-chorus the song states “Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running.” The phrase “Fed to the rules,” is…

lot of songs in this album when I thought I would like none of these songs. In this album there are 14 songs mostly by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Overall I really like this album and would recommend this album to people. The band members in this band are Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison. Ringo played the drums, John played rhythm guitar, Paul played bass and George was lead guitar. Paul Mccartney and John Lennon were the main singers in most of the songs. The…

sound, that saved a wretch like me…” (Newton) What comes to mind when you read these words? One may recall a specific Sunday morning singing this song in church, while others may have memories of their grandparents humming the tune while grocery shopping. Hymns such as Amazing Grace are sung daily by millions of people across the world. These special songs have the power to bring people together, no matter their differences. In the Christian faith, hymns enhance the religious experience by…

analyzation of this text, the topic of gender and sexual identity, and how Song and Gallimard’s actions reflect those topics. Song’s attraction to Gallimard, as we learn toward the end of their twenty year “romance”, is actually much more complicated than initially thought. Song feels both ashamed, and empowered through the relationship with Gallimard, he desires to be worshipped by the Frenchman. It is not clear, however, whether Song is attracted to Gallimard’s masculine or feminine qualities.…

I’m going to write about a song. The song is called “The General” by Dispatch. The song is based around a decorated general with a “heart of gold” who is well-respected. He has a dream the night before a battle about his infantry and cannot understand the meaning. He wakes to tell his men what he had seen in the dream. All his men stood tall and had “courage in their blood” and “fire in their stare” and they were all confused to as why the general had brought them out. Then the general told them…

I have a ton of their songs saved on my phone that I listen to fairly often. My favorite song of theirs is Bohemian Rhapsody. It’s honestly a musical masterpiece. The song explores every possible dynamic and an incredible musical range. It also explores what feels like several different kinds of music genres all in one song. People say that if you get new earbuds or headphones, the first song you should listen to to test them out it Bohemian Rhapsody because…

music, lyrics of songs have reflected the attitude and culture of the time in which they were written. This is especially true in times of difficulty and war. During the Revolutionary War era, songs were more than just ‘music’, they were written, and sung, to make a statement. There were many songs written at this time which expressed how Americans felt about what was happening in the country. Three themes can be found in the songs written: songs which mocked the enemy, songs which helped…

“wild swan’s song / sometimes served as music” from line 19 of “The Seafarer” is a metaphor for the scop, or storyteller, in Anglo-Saxon communities. This line indicates the importance of community because it shows the speaker trying to recreate the social aspects of community in his sea-bound exile. The use of the swan as a scop undermines the speaker’s community in exile in nature and leads the speaker to conclude that the only community left for him is in heaven. The “swan’s song” is echoed…
