My Song of Myself #1 Best-selling musical artist Frank Sinatra presents a beautiful message through his song “My Way”. Throughout the song, Sinatra portrays a man nearing the end of a significant component of his life. Emotional thoughts of leaving this part of him behind are showcased throughout the lyrics and the title of the song. Existentialism, the thought that one should focus on finding their life and life’s meaning through their will, choices, and responsibilities, is the song’s main…

Jermaine Cole’s best work. Although it was different, it did not disappoint its audience. One of the more underrated songs of that Album was “Love Yours”. This song starts off with a soothing steady beat with a undertone of sadness, but as it progresses it steadily builds suspension and builds rhythm and it brings your heart to a race. Every single of my alarms is set to this song for not only its soothing sound, but also for its theme of gratefulness making it my reminder every morning. “Love…

symbolic song (to me at least). This song may not be the most elegant or the most well known. Being written by an old punk rock band, they aren't exactly known for being a tear dropper. No, this song is a fist raiser. Social Distortion's "I Wasn't Born To Follow" is the song strong enough to push a generation to change the world. I know it's helped to change mine. The first part of the song was really the part to catch my attention. "When I grow up, I'm gonna be a star. I'm gonna sing my songs…

worktime songs, while working as a slave or the railroads per say, and party music and songs like jazz. Even songs that others can relate to such as Daddy You’ve Been a Mother to me from the 1920 roaring twenties. While every piece of music has their significance what really interests me about music is how much it has changed over the past century or so. In order to withstand the test of time a song can be evaluated many different ways. When the title of the song is repeated throughout the song…

The poet, Walt Whitman, the creator of “ Song Of Myself” from the book Leaves Of Grass, depicts the meaning of our life and our purpose of the universe as a beautiful life cycle of death and rebirth anew. Whitman conveys that “for for every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you,/… every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this air.”.,Whitman believes that the individual makes us unique in our own way while sharing common ground with others. This conveys that in Whitman’s poem we…

Along with those emperors, people in song dynasty have created many significant innovations and inventions.

followed up by the short-lived Song (960 CE - 1279) dynasty. The fall of the Han dynasty brought about a time of turmoil. The broken pieces left by the Han were then picked up by the Sui who was also short-lived, similar to that of the Song. The Sui then collapsed due to rebellion after emperor Yang Di never took notice the work he put the people through when creating the Grand Canal. This caused a revolt and ended the dynasties rule. After this marks the start of the Tang-Song…

The first song I picked is “We shall overcome” from Pete Seeger. The song is originally not from him, but was associated with the American folk singer after using it as a song of protest during the Civil Right Movement. The song became an anthem for the movement; because the melody is simple but contains lyrics that can speak to many, the song is a battle cry for any group that would face adversity. In fact, the song is still recorded today in support of diverse causes. Sunday Bloody Sunday…
