a way to know what’s going on in the world. Teens and young adults may not watch the news often, but a lot of the time artist make songs based on what’s going on at the time. In 2014 when pop group MAGIC! Released the song “Rude” it made a statement as to how the younger generation may think of marriage. When a father came out with his own version of the popular song, he reached what older people may think of marriage, and how one should go about it. The differences between “Rude” by MAGIC!, and…

An American rock b and, Imagine Dragons, released the song “Demons” in 2012. It had sparked major debates and conversations about the story behind the lyrics. Different people had different insights and perspectives to the identical ballad. Many people deliberated the meaning of the librettos; some claimed that the song was a depressing anecdote describing the narrators down fall; others believed that the tale behind the lyrics was a positive note encouraging others to pick themselves up, make…

John Cooper Clarke and "Fight Song" By Rachel Platten. Although they both cover different topics, they are both effective. "I Wanna Be Yours" talks about the strong feelings towards the poets loved one whereas "Fight Song" talks about never giving up no matter how low, lost or hurt you feel. I believe "Fight Song" is more compelling than "I Wanna Be Yours" according to the use of personification, metaphors, and Anaphora. To begin with, personification in "Fight Song" surpassed the…

For the past three years, Record of the year has been given to songs that had features with it (probably doesn't make a difference.) The mixture of beat and music in it is really good, Mark Ronson did a good job on engineering the song. I mean, this song was my jam for 2015. The song is good and had a really good year in sales (even though I said that doesn't matter, but it does). The song is so iconic to everyone and even lasted 14 weeks in no.1 in Billboard top 100. I think…

into songs of a combined jauntier and sombre note as a bridge between the first and last songs. Finally, it concludes with songs with a faster rhythm, crying out voices, primarily used as a cathartic headspace. Primarily, by enveloping themselves into these songs, listeners will explore their emotions and by belting out lyrics, they will expel their negative feelings. • Looking at the songs with the most plays in iTunes, scouring previous created playlists, and then putting the selected songs…

With chipper songs and a saccharine plotline, Disney’s first ever live action film “Song of the South” doesn’t bring many new elements to the table besides the presence of actors. Mediocre actors to boot. One may be able to overlook these flaws for the film’s more redeeming qualities, such as its impressive animation and catchy tunes. I find myself humming the film’s “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah” jingle as I write this. However, it is undeniable that “Song of the South” and its cheesy execution leaves a…

“The Song of Mulan” This brief poem, by Wei Yuanfu, concerns the story of Mulan and how she bravely fought for China disguised as a man. Although briefly, this poem addresses the reason as to why Mulan went to war in place of her father. Mulan’s father was old and incredibly weak, “his strength and energy daily wane” (5). Due to his deteriorating condition, he was unable to “Journey a myriad of miles” and have any hope of surviving (5). Further, Mulan’s brother was still far too young to…

dramatic song going through the atmosphere and went straight to my ears made me want to listen to it. “Masterpiece” by Jessie J has been repeated at all time. I would listen and pay attention to the meaning of this song. The part that this son got me is “I still fall on my face sometimes and I can’t color inside the line because I’m perfectly incomplete, I’m still working on my masterpiece.” Through rough times, no matter what you would need to get up again and try harder. Jessie J’s song…

highlight instances through song lyrics where the prevalent motifs of creation and destruction can be noticed throughout Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.
