This is the first time I have heard Bruce Springsteen- Born to Run. I like the lyrics to the song, it contains a love story of leaving town with the girl he loves. The song is really heavy with the drums and guitar. Bruce Springsteen also has a soft voice in this song. I’m shocked that this song took six months to make. It says that this song was avoiding the glam and stadium rock to establish a personal connection with the audience and the performer. The song touches the audience soul and creates a feeling of enthusiastic. If I were to see Bruce Springsteen perform the song live, I would feel the connection in the performance of this song.
Pink Floyd and their song creations are very different. In “Speak To Me” we start out with what seems
If you look closely at the lyrics Barry McGuire Eve of Destruction directly takes on war and gun violence. the lyric “you're old enough to kill but not for voting” refers to the fact that at 18 years old you were old enough to be a drafted for the army but not old enough for voting. voting in the 1960's was reserved for the age of 21 and older but was changed in 1971 to the age of 18 that we know today. the first verse of the song starts off “the eastern world it is exploding violence flarin’ bullets loading” could be about today's society where the violence in countries such as Afghanistan-Pakistan and Syria is almost the worst that has ever been. communism in China at the time lead to the lyric ”think of all the hate there is in Red China”.
My first song I´ve chosen is Sean McGee, song titled My Story. Mainly the song is about him facing different struggles, obstacles, and all the horrible things and situations he´s been in throughout his life. I can connect to this song and the lyrics for many reasons. One of his lines were ¨Do you know how it feels to be left out in the rain¨? And I have faced times like this when I feel like no one is there or have my back, and in the line he´s trying express how it feels to have nobody and be all alone. Also throughout this song he expresses how everyday you wake up your face with something rather it's just a minor issue or something that will greatly impact your life.
...t of people around you. The images are really helped clarify what the singer really wants to talk about. Without the images in the video some many things could have been interpreted from the song itself. Before I watched the video I just thought the author was talking about war, and specially the wars America was fighting at the time of the song’s release. The music in combination with the instrumentals and video create a piece of art that enlightens the soul.
Thesis: Children go astray and get involved in crimes and gang behaviors due to parents lacks of knowledge of how to topple and prevent such circumstance to happen – however, with a help from a local government and other crime and gang prevention programs can establish an effective early childhood awareness program(s) that would be capable to lend a hand and give information to helpless mothers whom are indecisive of how to suppress and prevent their kids to be vulnerable to delinquency.
“Hurt” a song originally recorded by Nine Inch Nails which portrays self-harm and heroin addiction has been covered by many great artists including Johnny cash. When Johnny cash covered this song I got a deferent message from the lyrics while he sings it, maybe it is because of his voice or how he lived his life, but when he is singing this song I get a sense that he is singing about a loved one that has passed on, growing older, and his legacy.
I personally never heard this song before writing this essay but I actually really like it, especially after watching “The end live in LA” on YouTube, the performance was really good. What I like most was the guitarist who played the best tones throughout the whole
This first song goes well with Holden because we see throughout the whole book, how Holden experiences loneliness. Holden says, “The first thing I did when I got off at Penn Station, I went into this phone booth. I felt like giving somebody a buzz” (Salinger 59) This is just one example of Holden’s loneliness. At this time he is just getting of the train realizing he has nobody to go to and nobody to talk to so he feeling like calling someone even if it’s just to talk to. n the song Talking To Myself, The lyrics say “Is anybody out there?/It feels like I'm talkin' to myself/No one seems to know my struggle/And everything I come from/Can anybody hear me?”(Eminem) This song by Eminem is a good example of Holden’s loneliness because throughout the song it

Melinda, being the quiet girl she is in the beginning of the school year, gains new friends, a new girl from out of town, and her art teacher.

In times of war it is quite common for people to start questioning their values and their actions and be unsure of the path they are taking. This is common because to protect our values we often are told that we have to take actions that conflict with those values. One example would be how to protect our liberties we must sometimes restrain those liberties during treacherous times. However, the ultimate question is whether or not going against the very values we stand for is a hypocritical and wrongful action plan. Bruce Springsteen approaches this very issue in his song “Devils & Dust”, from the CD with the same title, and he subtly criticizes how the United States is betraying its values.
Johnny Cash can be considered one of the best country artists of all times, but the soul of his music is rooted in the blues. Many of Cash’s songs are about the complications that come with love. The four songs listed above are only a few parts of the story Cash teaches us about the world of love. Most importantly, Cash does a wonderful job of explaining the complicated nature of love and how it really is the most powerful force in the world. Before diving into each of these songs, one must first understand how Cash is a blues artist just as much as he is a country artist.
Emet’s Dance Assignment The music video Jailhouse Rock by Elvis Presley is an upbeat song about being happy no matter where you are and how there no reason to be sad because other inmates or people are there to help. He showed this by stating thing like... “The sad sack was a sittin' on a block of stone Way over in the corner weepin' all alone.
They became widley recognized for their 1975 album Wish You Were Here, containing the song “Shine On You Crazy Diamond”, which was a great homage paid to their lost “heartbeat” of the band. Although they began to incorporate lyrics in to their music again, it was never the same without Barrett. The band lost Barretts strong English accent and creative fluidity of his experimental techniques, but gained a new muse: Tradgety, the loss of Syd Barrett. Possibly one of the most famous albums produced by Pink Floyd, second to Dark Side of the Moon¸Which maintaned the top rated album for 741 weeks (youtube.com) was The Wall, which was eventually made in to a movie directed by Alan Parker (wikepida.com). The Movie was made to bring the album to life, and seems to be depiction of a combination of concepts: Richard Wright’s struggle with his father’s involvement in war, of the struggles with drugs and mental deterioration faced by Syd
Through analysis of top 50 billboard songs that have been ranked and appeared on the charts I have found an interesting trend amongst songs that reference Donald Trump. Before his political campaign when he was still considered just a businessman and billionaire, rap songs esteemed his lifestyle. In 2000, the song “Country Grammar (Hot Shit)” by Nelly topped the R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart at number 5. The lyrics in this song show aspirations to be like Donald Trump and have money, “From broke to having brokers: my price-range is Rover Now/ I'm knocking like Jehovah; let me in now, let me in now/Bill Gates, Donald Trump, let me in now/ Spin now, I got money to lend my friends now.”
After the show had ended, I felt slightly empty. I had waited years and months for that night, and it was over in the blink of an eye. Although I was sad that the show was over, I felt completely content. Now, when I hear their songs, I get to remember what it felt like to hear the band perform them live. I can watch the videos and try to wrap my mind around how it was real. Going to my first concert was an unparalleled experience that I will always cherish. The ambiance, the band’s performance and the unity the audience
