A song that I like is called, “Am I Wrong” by, Nico and Vinz. I first listened to the song in my family's car. My sister had control over the radio that day, and sooner or later, the song came up. I instantly liked the song as soon as the chorus started, but at the time it was just because of the rhythm. Overtime I learned the lyrics and I loved the song even more.
In my way of seeing it, this song portrays someone who has an interest, or something that he believes in, but the people around him don't accept this. “Am I wrong, for thinking out the box from where I stay? Am I wrong for saying that I'll choose another way” (the beginning of the song). I think this song is about trying to standing up for someone with different ideals and career paths that the people closest to them don't accept.

Growing up, I had many different, and wacky careers in mind.
Those choices include being president, an engineer (because of the superhero, Iron Man), a scientist ,etc. yet after a while, I lost interest in all those. Even now, I never wanted to have a conventional job. Probably because I don't want the rest of my life to be a simple and similar routine every day. Now my interest is to be a filmmaker (maybe a director or CGI expert).
The thing is though, my family supports me, but they think I should go with another option. They may think this is another wacky idea that will fade away in time. Actually, I have thought of this for a while and I cannot think of another idea for a career (which I usually do). I've been inspired by a couple forms of films (short films, web series, TV, and Hollywood blockbusters) and I love to make up a story from time to time. In fact, I even came up with a show idea a couple years back and I have the bulk of it finished (the story, not the
show). This song resonates with me because I agree with it. “I ain't trying to do what everybody else's doing, just cause everybody doing what they all do.” this song is one the things that keep me going with my ideals and my choices so that my future is up to me to decide. It even helps me if I ever feel like I'll fail or something bad will happen in the process. You can say this song is my inspiration to move on. I believe that everyone should be given a choice to do what they want, with some discretion, but not too much. Follow your own path, not a path made by others. I think things like this song will help me get to where I want to be.
There was a vocal recital on October 19th, 2017 at 7:30PM, held at the performance hall in Mountain view college. Alex Longnecker, a tenor vocalist and Imre Patkai, (pianist) played a series of homophonic textured songs, some being sung in German and others in English. The Three selected songs I will be writing about are, The Lincolnshire Poacher, The Plough Boy, and Im Wunderschonen Monat Mai. This performance played a total of 24 Pieces, composed by 4 composers, being Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ernest Chausson, Benjamin Britten, and Robert Schumann.
Everyone at one point has to make a decision on what they want to be when they grow up. For me, that decision came rather unexpectedly and was a result of a new found interest due to self-discovery. It all began when I was around the age of 8 and I watched a documentary on aircraft. It documented all about planes, how they work and the science behind them. I was immediately captivated and gaining all that information as a young child really hit the spot in terms of a new found passion and interest that I could see myself later using. This passion stuck with me ever since as I have spent tons of spare time studying different types of aircraft and collecting model planes. It ultimately helped me with my answer to the question of what I wanted to be when I grew up as being an aeronautical engineer. It is not a career most would pursue, but it shows how self-discovery impacted me at a very young age and the impact is so log lasting that it has influenced most of the decision I make now in terms of courses I take at school and the extracurricular activities I am a part of. Without self-discovery, I was able to gain an understanding of where my interests lay, the abilities I have to acquire complex information and the feelings I had towards my new found interest and
“You Was Right” by Lil Uzi Vert is fairly easy to understand lyrically. The essence of the song deals with unfaithfulness in a relationship as well as the aftermath. Lil Uzi Vert spends a large portion of the song admitting his mistakes to his presumed girlfriend in hopes of making things right between them. The song starts off with the hook, which rests upon the premise of how Lil Uzi Vert should have stayed loyal rather than taking another girl home with him. For example, he says, “You was right, I was wrong” (6) in an attempt to console his girlfriend and apologize. Following the hook, the first verse centers on Lil Uzi Vert’s riches due to his success as a rapper. He ties that in to his relationship by expressing how he wants to share his wealth with his girlfriend. At this stage in the song, Lil Uzi Vert is attempting to win his girlfriend back with his money and general success as a rapper. The hook then repeats itself to indicate that the argument between Lil Uzi Vert and his girlfriend is still continuing. The second verse signifies an escalation in their conflict, as he says, “You just locked the door, so I gotta text you” (42). His girlfriend is refusing to even listen
American Beauty/American Psycho was an album that was sung by the band Fall Out Boy in 2015. Fall Out Boy is an alternative/indie rock band with a little hint of pop in some of their songs. This album, which is the band’s most recent album, is full of a lot of good songs and songs that maybe some people wouldn’t like. Fall Out Boy is a face-paced band, which means their songs are faced-paced. A lot of their songs could be a little hard to understand for people who don’t listen to this kind of music. The album does not have many of these types of songs, which is why it is a favorite among Fall Out Boy fans.
When I was a kid, I wanted to have multiple skills like being a surgeon, lawyer, architect, and an astronaut all at the same time. However, once I realized the amount of schooling required for each profession, I thought it would be best to only pick one. Since then, I decided I either wanted to be a pediatric/general surgeon or a psychiatrist. As time
Macklemore begins with “When I was in the third grade I thought that I was gay, / 'Cause I could draw, my uncle was, and I kept my room straight. / I told my mom, tears rushing down my face.” In just these first couple of lines, the listener is easily able to understand what the song is about, and also comprehend the stereotype that is associated with gays and lesbians. The listener is given the equation that Macklemore made up when he was younger; he added the stereotypes that were given to gays: being artistic, having a gay relative, and being tidy. By following these fashions, he assumed that he was gay as well. When Macklemore states that tears were rushing down his face, it gives even more awareness to the negative connotation that gays
Hip-Hop’s criticism of George W. Bush is a good example of hip-hop’s reflection of Black public opinion. The Republican candidate who already had a low approval rating of 57% amongst African-Americans received an even lower approval rating after his lackluster efforts to support Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina in 2005 (Jones, 2003; Cillizza & Sullivan 2013).
This song talks a lot about the baggage of the past that people hold onto instead of letting it go. All that baggage is only going to end up hurting you more and more instead of helping you in any way possible. An example is the opening
This song shows that there are people who are drifters. For example the song states “Winter is here again oh Lord, haven't been home a year or more,” wich shows that something had happened which caused him to leave home. Also the song states that “I've been runnin' down this dusty road, I've been trying to make it home,”which shows that he was doing everything in his power to make it back home but despite his efforts he is unable to make it home. Finally he states that “Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'I don't know where I'll be tomorrow,” which means that things are constantly changing and at any point it could cause him to relocate.
In order to encompass and fully grasp the meaning and structure of a song, one must be able to analyze the song through different spectrums. For instance, every song is produced differently in order to send out a specific message or stand for a certain issue. At times, when music is produced, it embodies a significant attitude towards its audience in which they are able to sense the quality and atmosphere of the song. This essay will be analyzing the musical, textual, and visual evidence of “Sur ma route” by Black M who is known as one of the top current “rappers” in French popular music.
Nico and Vinz is a Norwegian singing/songwriting duo, in April 2013 they released “Am I Wrong”. “Am I wrong” flew to the top of the charts in Norway, Denmark, Finland and Sweden, and is becoming the highest-charting song by a Norwegian artist since A-ha’s “Take on me”. The song is written by: William Wiik Larsen, Nico Sereba, and Vincent Dery.
If I were to ask you to think of one song that truly was your quintessence, I am sure that you can think of one right away. How to Save a Life by The Fray would be the song that represents me. This song really speaks to me because it deals with a major issue in my life. I have dealt with depression for many years. I have always felt a deep inadequacy for all of my accomplishments. Always hearing that I have no reason to be depressed made me feel even worse. In the recent years I have found ways to deal with my own depression, while also trying to help others with the same problems. Having someone to talk to and praying have been my two saving graces. I argue that it does not take a clinical physiologist to save someone from depression. Anyone can be a cure to depression as depicted in the song.
The song that I choose to do this assignment on is Fight the Power by Public Enemy. Fight the Power was written in 1989 and quickly became a street anthem for millions of youths. It reflects with issues dealing with both the Civil Rights Movement and to remind everyone that they too have Constitutional Rights. This particular song is about empowerment but also fighting the abuse of power that is given to the law enforcement agencies. It gave citizens of the U.S a more modern outlook on the many struggles that not only the African American community is up against but the other minority groups as well. The song’s message was eventually supposed to bring people together and make the world a better place, even though some teens saw it as a way
The song’s meaning is almost as profound as its structure. While the overall message of the song is that over-analysis of the universe can corrupt the mind and body, the structure of the song contains many features that have to be placed under a microscope. For example the Fibonacci sequence is found in many places of the song. The introduction ends at 01:12, the first four digits of the sequence. Additionally, the syllables in the verses line up to numbers in the sequence. Throughout the song, I am reminded that there are a lot of things out of my control and that I should not try to change them, but rather I should “embrace the
Filmmaking is that job for me. Though it is hard and filled with literal blood sweat and tears, it is one of the most rewarding jobs a person can have. You put all of your passion into a project that starts on paper and ends on giant screen for the world to see. You make content that people talk about for days and watch over and over again. To be that successful would be a dream come true. To be apart of films that help someone, that entertain a child’s imagination, brings someone to tears, and makes someone laugh is all I want to do. If I can do that as a career, then I will not work a day in my life. I don't know where I am going to go from here but I know I have the skills to be a good filmmaker and the passion to push forward. I am forever thankful for my professors for guiding me, my family for supporting me, and all of the films that ever inspired me for pushing me
