Warrior by Demi Lovato is an emotional song, one of her originals, released on the album Demi in 2013. In this song, Lovato uses her powerful voice to convey a motivating effect on her listeners and fans, and empower them to feel confident about themselves. She tries to spread hope, encouraging others to rise after every fall. Writing this song based on her own heartbreaking personal experiences in life when she was a teenager, her strength and confidence is clearly displayed in the lyrics, which are emphasized by the repetitious rhythm.

The lyrics of the song play a huge role in achieving the intended effect of this song. Through the lyrics, Lovato reflects on her own experiences and says she was “so ashamed, so confused...broken and bruised.” But, she clearly states that she overcame those struggles, and came back as a …show more content…

It fits the song and its effect well, because since the song is trying to send such a powerful message, the lyrics need to be put ahead of the rhythm in importance. Lovato’s words are what really matter for the purpose of this song. Therefore, the rhythm is not entertaining, but is still well-chosen for this song.

One of the most important aspects of this song is it’s originality. Since the song is written by Demi Lovato herself, the story behind this song is only hers. This song is unique, because pop music is generally more entertaining and fast-paced, but this song is slow and meaningful. All the components of the song, including its rhythm and lyrics, shape its originality.

The reason this song has such an inspiring effect on the listener is because of Lovato’s strong vocals, a result of her emotional attachment to what she is trying to express. She belts out her feelings, which draws the listener’s attention to the lyrics and creates a depressing but optimistic mood. Her voice represents her power and energy to rise and continue life

  • Bitter Sweet Symphony by Erin Flannery

    We have the chance to give the future generation a gift. We can give them the answers before they encounter the questions. We can give the help theyíll need before they need it. No oneís perfect when dealing with life. Weíre only here for a short time, why not make it the best time you can? Life throws things at people and one has to be able to cope and learn to solve them as best as they can. As Rolling Stone eloquently put it, ìthe lyrics address the need to cope (Wiederhorn).î In life, people are going to encounter problems no matter how hard they try to get around them. This song recognizes that fact and addresses it. The truth seems hard to come by these days. In my life, it is something I strive to give and receive. Thereís no telling how many times one person has been lied to. Letís just not mention that whole Lewinsky thing. ìBittersweet Symphonyî donates the truth to the future. No sugarcoating or hiding of facts takes place. The lyrics say, ìtry to make ends meet youíre a slave to money then you die . . .î As life is, the song is inclusive of the good and the bad. Without the bad, how would we know of the good and vice versa? This common thread of truth connects us and the future.

  • The Voice Of Celine Dion

    774 Words  | 2 Pages

    The song displays a somberness that is achieved through smooth legato phrasing and minor key changes. She’s delicate at first and climactically gets stronger and louder. The chorus is a mixture of powerful chest voice and refrained mixed voice. Her vocal runs are tasteful and spread apart and she artistically ends one line with a breathy sound that shows the vulnerability of the character she portrays within this song. The song is laden with a lot of emotion which Celine skillfully shows through her powerhouse vocals. A close reading of the lyrics reveals the tragic narrative in the song. “Just Walk Away” seems to follow a woman forced to say goodbye to her true love. The conflict intensifies when she admits that this man, whom she loves deeply, offers her a love she’s never felt before. This love though profound is also a forbidden love, one she must dutifully walk away from and forget. It isn’t made clear why this love is forbidden, but from the vulnerability and desperation in Dion’s voice, we can infer that this love was a love not approved by an outside party. I did not choose this song for its lyrics as I do not relate to the lyrics. I do find the narrative in this song enticing. It’s like a compelling Hollywood film. I chose this song because I grew up listening to Celine Dion, and have always been drawn to her voice, vocal technique,

    Both the title and chorus throughout the song follow the pattern of the male protagonist being “the one”. It seems to imply that the woman he is referencing needs to understand that he is the best option she has so she does not have much of a choice, “don’t let the only real one intimidate you, I’m the one”. At another point in the song, male protagonist, Quavo, raps “you can run inside my life on that fame bus, ‘cause I promise when we step out you’ll be famous” meaning that he is being heroic by associating her with himself and she will be famous she everyone is able to see her appearance. He is only with her so that he can show her off through objectification. Towards the end of the song, singer Justin Bieber, repeats, “don’t you know girl, I am the one for you”. These lyrics also anchor the male gaze as they refer to the adult woman he is referencing as “girl”, which weakens her making her seem naive or
