Hear the Magic by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards is an extraordinary written song. Things that stood out about it was the flow of the lyrics.

They used words such as ringin’ to make you hear when the sound is not existent. The rhyming in the song was slightly noticeable, but it added to the song overall quality. Can You Hear the Music message is Music is not just…

desperate for love. For example, critics will say in her song “Video Games”, “It’s you, it’s you, it’s all for you, everything I do.” They will say that her actions are caused by her desire of love from a man. However, others believe she is an emotional woman and she expresses it through her lyrics. Although it shows her thirst of being loved by a man and wanting something more thrilling, I find her poetic lyrics very passionate. In her song “Born to Die” her lyrics “Come take a walk on the…

There are a few of these times that stand out more than other because they have had a harder impact on me. For instance January of 2007 when my…

I felt nervous about observing her, because I don’t know too much about music, other than playing trumpet and having the ability to sing a few rock songs. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to explain much about my experience. I was also excited, because I have always wanted to experience being in a studio and listening to music. I didn’t let her know that I was observing her, because it may have changed the outcome of the experience. She might have played different songs, not get too…

The song trying to be cool by the indie band Phoenix was an important hit in 2012. The band originally comes from France and the writer is Thomas Mars. Trying To Be Cool became one of the most popular songs because of its meaning, swing and lyrics that all represent a very trendy stereotype of how a man ‘hits’ or seduces a woman. Throughout the song Mars uses literary devices such as metaphors and symbolism to describe how he entices a woman. Most importantly, it shows the struggle he has in the…

the symbolic frame plays a large part in that transformation. Over the last 50 years, Don Lee Camp and Retreat Center developed from a rustic summer camp center utilized 7 to 8 weeks a year into a year-round destination where school children learn about marine life, pastors enjoy family time, community members enjoy Sunday dinner, and thousands of children and teenagers enjoy a wonderfully rich summer camp experience.

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.

There's no denying that John Legend is one of the strongest standing balladeers left that made modern mainstream music still susceptible to pure emotions of love and feelings.

In just a couple of years, John Legend managed to establish his own placement as a respected and…
