““Let It Go” is a fairly new song that has gained popularity in the late 2015 and early 2016, but I am not talking about the song from “Frozen”. “Let It Go” was written by James Bay and Paul Barry but sung by James Bay alone. It was released on May 12, 2014, by Republic after being recorded in 2013-14 Nashville, Tennessee. The song was re-released on his March 2015 album “Chaos and Claim” after his previous success on the hit “Hold Back The River” around September 2014. “Let It Go” actually is Bay’s first song to hit the Billboard Hot 100 reaching to #38 and even a remix of the song was released by Jack Steadman in 2015. The main purpose of the song is to entertain because of its topic is on love and breakups which are the number one thing …show more content…
It did surprise me when I learned it was a song about love. Even then when you learn that it is a love song you can’t chalk it up as another cheesy breakup song like a majority of them because of the way the song sounds. I explained how this song is very heartbreaking but in a peaceful way and that’s exactly how the meaning of the song is represented. The deeper meaning of the song is sometimes it is better to let go of something than to hold on to it longer. In the song, it starts out happy to represent why you first became attached to something, “From walking home and talking loads, To seeing shows and evening clothes with you.”, “To staying up and waking up with you.” Then the song turns into the conflict of the situation, “From throwing clothes across the floor, To teeth and claws and slamming doors at you.” Lastly throughout the song the lyrics repeat in a different way that it would be better to simply move on because staying will not fix the problem, “When we’re becoming something else, I think it’s time to walk …show more content…
“Let It Go” by James Bay has lyrics of acceptance of their situation and deciding it’s probably best to go on separate paths, “When it’s too heavy to hold, think now’s the time to let it slide, so come on let it go.” Compared to most love songs like Taylor Swift’s older song “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” where they talks about how she hates him and wouldn’t consider any other kind of relationship with him from the lyrics, “I say, ‘I hate you’, we break up, you call me, ‘I love you’. Also, Bay’s song seems to wish the other person good luck and to find themselves again just like they will after the ending relationship, unlike typical love songs that would ride off the other person as a heartless person or a
In this song one can tell that the singer is very sad and depressed about many things that have happened in his life and the love ones that have passed away. When he sings this lyric “My sweetest friend…. I will let you down” you can tell that it is about how his loved ones have passed on and he let
The songwriter called his new achievement as the highlight of his career. The controversial song is entitled “Writing’s On The Wall” which will be added to the long list of cinematic tracks in 007's history.
It relates to the audience by allowing them to ruminate about the happy memories of their relationship, but how that specific heartbreak left them empty and frail. The first heartbreak is always the hardest to get through, but it’s the most memorable when looked back
CSNY is profoundly successful in conveying their message in the song by using the right lyrics and vocals accompanied by the tune of the guitars. “Helplessly Hoping” can be interpreted in so many ways that in either way it, nonetheless, will insinuate on the same thing, which is love. As they put it love is not lying, and it will always be around. Listening to the song can put one in an emotional roller-coaster that its theme can be known beforehand. This perplexed relationship describes the essence of love, and its implications. It reflects on how love can be capricious, which gives a sense of mystery. The harmony of the group in the song makes it one of my favorites, and puts it in my top list of love songs in all times.
Her song is about her feelings of sadness that come around the ending summer; The main theme is about Lana and her summertime sweetheart having to part ways by summers end and her emotions of when that last encounter occurs. Summer romances are always short and fun, but ending the summer relationship is always a bit saddening and depressing. Although I personally do not relate with a romantic experience from this past summer, the feelings she describes in the song whe...
In essence, this song carries various sociological concepts. It concentrates on the main idea about the social construction of reality and talking about how reality is changing. The song questions the actions and mentally of individuals violating the norms and values of society. The band takes into consideration various factors of why it is happening including the media and religion. As a result they talk about such influences taking control building and developing a sense of self. This is a great song about present day problems and how society changes with them.
The song begins when Mitchell opens up about her illusionist state, portraying the ways that one can get lost in dreamer ideals: “Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels/ The dizzy dancing way you feel/ As every fairy tale comes real,” (lines 13-14). The view of love as all consuming, a high, and is perfect shows her juvenile way of thinking. As love does not only harvest the good, but the bad as well. However, in her illusionist state, she fails to recognize this. Similar to a child, the lens she uses can disrupt her ability to see the world from a complex point of view. Thus, keeping Mitchell in her youth. This is further explored on her illusion about friendship: “Tears and fears and feeling proud/ To say "I love you" right out loud/ Dreams and schemes and circus crowds,” (lines 25-27) For Mitchell, being emotionally vulnerable as well as honest with herself and her peers is something that comes naturally in her youth. Worries of getting rejected or shot down from her dreams is not on her mind as she believes that as long as she is open to world, the world will be open back. Though, this is not the case as there is a possibility for disapproval and rejection. Ultimately, Mitchell is static in her thoughts, showcasing her juvenile tendencies to view life in a pure, optimistic way. Therefore, the artist is unable to transition from illusionist to realist as she has never
I feel that this song discusses the desire to have someone to love and support a person even when the person does not have much. This is shown by the line “I ain’t got nothing but love, girl” which indicates that though he may not have much, he can still make a girl feel appreciated and be involved in a serious relationship with her. This song has many innuendos in the lyrics, such as the repetition of the phrase “Hold me, love me” which could be seen in a sexual manner. The frisky feeling used in this song also supports the idea of sexual innuendos in the lyrics. The love expressed in this song can be seen in the lines “Love you every day, girl/Always on my mind”. This shows the devotion of the man to the girl that he is singing this song too. In the first verse, McCartney sings the lines “Hope you need my love, babe/Just like I need you” which shows the insecurity that occurs in a relationship from time to time. “Eight days a week,” the title of the song, is sung in the second verse as well as in the bridge, and in the outro. This shows that the amount of love that the subject of the song has for his girl is unlimited and continues on for all eternity since there are only seven days a week. In my opinion, the high pitched “Ooh” at the beginning of both repetitions of the first verse seem to initiate the frisky feeling that is created by the rhythm of the
The song that I went with is “I Hate You, I Love You” by Gnash. The song was written about a relationship that is viewed in two perspectives. What I got out of listening to the song is that in the girl's point of view she feels used. She still misses him even though time has passed she realizes how much she needs him and how much it hurts her to see him with another woman. Also she has hatred towards him because of what he did, but at the same time no one can take his place because of the history that holds them together.

Much of the lyrics content deals with heartbreaks and emotional issues. When I first heard this song, it was about 3 years ago. I’m sure a friend had told me to listen to it, so I did. This made me open my eyes and I realized that not everything is going to be permanent. People come and go.
The song”Closer”by the Chainsmokers talks about a millennial romance anthem that celebrates youth and heartbreak.When we look at the lyrics what we can understand from this sentences(Andrew taggart Pre-chours) “I know it breaks your heart.Moved to the city in a broke down car.And four years, no calls.Now you're looking pretty in a hotel bar.And I-I-I can't stop.No, I-I-I can’t stop” is that Years ago,they ended the relationship by moving away and then stopping all communication, as shown in the next sentence of the song. They moved into the city with a barely working car eager to pursue a new life and this was because of the lack of financial stability.And also on the first sentence we can see that the breakup was heartbreaking that
Her boyfriend wrote out their song a note card and added to the pile of roses; although, she almost did not notice on her bed because her day was long and bad. She described it as “after everything that day/Had gone all wrong/And lost and thrown away” (Swift). The connotation of just wanting to come home and lay down is evident; however, this day makes a turn for the best with the roses. The tone of the second stanza starts gloomy discussing her bad day, but it transforms with her finding the roses and the note. The next stanza after the repeated chorus is the bridge and is a mere three lines and simply describes how she listened to the radio to search and find a song similar theirs, but nothing was satisfactory.
This song reassures us that in a world so vast and separated, people can be brought together by love and faith. Similarly, "Dreaming of You" expresses that life can be an unexpected fairytale in which our dreams can and do come true. It paints a picture of a female/male night after night dreaming about the person she/he loves; longing, waiting for the courage to express that love.... ... middle of paper ... ... Listeners reap from this conclusion the sense of hope needed to live out their lives.
