Bob Dylan’s captivating autobiography, Chronicles, follows his experiences in New York City and his brief global concert tours as he pursued a career, as well as his own artistic identity, through music. Folk music, specifically, is at the forefront of Dylan’s storytelling in which a great deal of his interactions and friendships are closely tied to this genre, as well as the lifestyle associated with it. However, Dylan also introduces biblical allusions and religious connotations by gradual…

Giving Comfort During Hardships Musical artists throughout the centuries sing about their hardships in music. The context of the song can be the theme of either life or death. Each song becomes literary by speaking to the depressed listener through emotions given by the lyrics or tone. Even if the song 's topic hasn 't been experienced by them directly. According to Levitin in the chapter explaining comfort songs, "The connection - even to a stranger - helps the process of recovery, for so…

what to major in at college can be a difficult and stressful task, because you are either passionate about many things or not passionate about anything. For me personally, it took me a while to figure it out, but by the time I got to college, I was sure on what I wanted to major in. I realized over the past couple of years how passionate I am about music, but even more specifically, I am passionate about singing. Ever since I was a child I loved to sing, however, I have not always been a good…

What makes you happy the soothing sound of the blues or the pumping sound of rock and roll? I like both because I feel good and happy. I don’t know about you but I will always pick a happy mood over a sad one although sometimes music does tend to make you sad. All you just need to do is find the brightness in your music. Music makes me feel good for instance rock and roll makes me feel pumped up and ready to party and have a good time. And then with blues I feel like dancing softly and…

same pattern precisely, with some notable examples being ‘Talk Dirty’ by Jason Derulo, ‘Shut Up And Drive’ by Rihanna, and ‘Blurred Lines’ by Robin Thicke. They all contain lyrics that talk about women in a degrading manner, highlighting their curvaceous bodies and how desirable they look. For example, in his song ‘Talk Dirty’, Mr Derulo sang that he’s ‘been around the world’ and he ‘don’t speak the language’ that his attractive girl does, but he reassures her that it is alright, because her…

fairytale but another lesson to wake up it isn’t real. What helped me out listening to Kesha new song called “Praying” and what I consider my theme song. Kesha was very popular singer when I was younger. She was mainly pop, hip hop mix artist. But her new release album after 4 years of being absent from the music industry is showing Kesha as a changed woman. The first song from her new album was the song “Praying” and I stumbled…

meaning, musical ability, and how much 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…

assignment include a comparison between a folk song and a pop song, both of them are part of beautiful and attractive music. From this assignment I feel like become closer to both of these two styles. First, when I listen to a folk song, I feel like listening a story. A story from long ago, with a group of people. The "group" could be as particular as a family, or a nation. Then, when I listen to a pop song, I feel more emotion in it than the history. My folk song is “Czechoslovakia Hey Ho, Hey…

September 9th, I attended the Musical “Songs for the New Word" at the Trinity Street Theater in Austin Texas. The musical used songs to describe differing events in one's life leading up to that one moment in one's life when you hit the wall and have to make a choice to press on, or to run away like coward (http://www.mtishows.com/songs-for-a-new-world).
