Recommended: How music influences our emotions essay

It all started with a voice memo. 743 voice memos. Singer/songwriter Chantel Munsey never expected anything to come out of a simple voice memo she recored as she was aimlessly walking down the isle in the supermarket one day. But as she decided it was time to stop pursuing things she felt were not benefiting and instead pursue the things she felt passionate about and that is when things started to change and opportunities began to open.

Music has always been a common thread in Chantel’s life. As a young girl and growing up constantly being around church music and musical theater, it revealed the love for music she has always had but also gave her the talents to create her own. “I started writing songs as just melodies in my head, and in order to know and remember the melody, I started putting words to it. I would record it as a voice memo. in my phone and then later i would go back and fix words and make sense of them and my thoughts.” As she began to show them to her friends who showed their friends, things began to progress and transpire from that. Now a year later that voice memo is no longer just a voice memo but instead it is 3 EPs of her own which she plans to release later this May. …show more content…

When it comes to Chantel writing music, none of her songs are written after personal experiences or desires she has but rather about a much bigger idea. “Every song that I write is about sex, breakups, falling in and out of love, unsuccessful love and ect. This is funny because this is not a direct representation of my life at all and these lyrics are not about real people or real scenarios I have lived out. Rather my music is the sound of what is in my heart. Which is a deep empathic hurt for people who only experience carnal, physical, earthly unsuccessful love. They are either worship songs about a love that saves covers and overwhelms or they are about the opposite. A love that is carnal and

    Mary Fisher's speech on HIV and Aids was executed extremely well in almost every way possible. Out of all the aspects of Mary's speech, I felt her establishment of common ground is what made her speech so great. Pearson, Nelson, Titsworth, and Hosek (2016) says “common ground occurs when you and your audience share an understanding of the world”(p.246). Mary did a great job of sharing her understanding and views of HIV and Aids, which is helping to establish common ground with the audience. Also, Mary disclosed things about her personal life that made her establishment of common ground even greater with the audience. All in all, Mary’s use of common ground did great things for her during this speech about HIV

    For example, in "The Letter," Kehlani refuses to name the subject until the very last possible moment in the song. "Your words were supposed to get me through my heart ache," Kehlani sings. "Maybe I didn't deserve you. Maybe I just couldn't cure you." It’s a cutting and very heartbreaking turn of phrase that readers can feel while listening to her music even just through the lyrics. This could definitely describe betrayal or disappointment that she had gone through. Until she suddenly narrows it down into a more details, halfway through the song as she revealed who it was for: "every girl needs a mother." “Bright,” the next track after, is quite different as it encourages motivation to listeners and to show that each and every individual is unique and has their own beauty that no one can take. Furthermore, "Wanted" describes a newly-found connection and shows inspiration and determination, which possibly talks about fresh love. The words and tunes used sets a slights uplift atmosphere which definitely fits the message of the lyrics, “I was chosen… found my lows and made them high, so much storm to clear my skies I don't think I can deny.” As a result, Kehlani shows that there's still courage in holding back, as she made the choice of keeping things

    It holds such power over captives and captors alike that they cannot help but feel enamoured to the life it brings. Cesar especially feels the beauty of music “Oh, how he loved to hear the words in his mouth… It didn't matter that he didn't understand the language, he knew what it meant. The words and music fused together and became a part of him” and through music, he discovers his latent talent for singing (224). Based only on Roxanne’s previous arias, Cesar’s potential is outstandingly bright when he sings for the first time without any training whatsoever. Not only do the others learn to appreciate his gift, but Roxanne herself recognizes how promising he is or she would not have bothered to waste her time tutoring him. Beforehand, Cesar is nothing remarkable, just another one of the terrorists who detains them, but the opera transforms him into a separate person. Like the mansion enveloped in the garua, Cesar is heavily shrouded by serious self-esteem issues and fear, but after his breakthrough, his worries suddenly disappear and his life becomes a reservoir of joy. If “life, true life, was something stored in music”, then Cesar has lived a deprived life; his passion for music was just unfolding, but fate robs the world of who “was meant to be the greatest singer of his time” (5,

  • Ethnography Review of Songs in Thier Head: Music and Its Meaning in Children´s Lives by Patricia Shehan Campbell

    ...pinion a lot of children’s music is based off their creativity or social constructs. I found this book to be fascinating and I was able to relate it back to my own childhood experiences of singing on the playground or drumming on the lunchroom tables. I think that music is such an amazing way to express so many different emotions. Whether someone picks up an instrument, sings, writes music and lyrics, or just enjoys listening to their favorite band, music has a powerful connotation in all of our lives. I think musical expression should be an option from a young age and it is evident that many children have their own ideas of what music is and incorporate it into their lives in their own special ways.

    Many people across the world are affected every day by the gift of music. To those of us who let it into our lives, we truly view it for what it is. Unfortunately, not everyone realizes how powerful it can be. For me singing was something that I was always good at; I never really took it to heart. I never understood when people would talk about how music had changed there lives; I just didn't see how a few notes put together could affect anyone so deeply. It wasn't until last April when our choir was chosen among a select few to perform at Carnegie Hall that I would understand the indubitable impact of music.

    Love was the one thing Lauryn was after since she was a little girl. She was fascinated with the idea of being married and settling with someone.

With her newfound knowledge, Lauryn tries to not only educate the children, but people who are having a tough time trying to escape their stressful and abusive relationships as well. Her songs “Lost Ones,” “Ex-Factor,” “When It Hurts So Bad,” “I Used To Love Him,” “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You,” and “Tell Him (Live)” speak about her past relationships,

    1685 Words  | 4 Pages

    In today’s world, celebrities are often misunderstood, especially singer/songwriter Robin Rihanna Fenty, referred to as Rihanna. Rihanna’s sexual behaviors in her videos have been talked about in negative ways for some time now, but what [eople do not understand is that it is all for fame. Celebrities will do anything to keep their career going strong. If one really took the time out to take a deep look at Rihanna, they will notice how humble she really is. After going through the abusive relationship with Chris Brown, Rihanna has struggled with gaining that strong confidence with who she is. Her critics believe that she is still trying to discover herself and figure out who she really is as a person. Rihanna is often given two choices, to do what she is being asked to do, or throw her career out the window. She either gives the crowd the sexual acts they want or let her career die down. In the song “S&M,” Rihanna was really exposing herself to the crowd, as well as “Good Girl, Gone Bad.” She is basically telling the crowd that this is the person she is, but is it really? For my original piece I will be creating a journal, expressing the feelings Rihanna felt as she overcomes her struggles. Rihanna’s sexual behaviors in her videos are really all for fame and therefore, are easily misunderstood.

  • The Themes of Love and Relationships in Pop Music

    1757 Words  | 4 Pages

    The re-invasion of pop music has brought out the theme of love and relationships even more so then ever. If a songwriter has “writer’s block”, then the simple solution is to write a love song. “All I want is you (Come over here baby). All I want is you (You make me go crazy)... I‘m gonna love you right...” (Aguilera), is part of the chorus to Christina Aguilera’s song “Come on Over”. The attraction to this song to girls is in thinking that they could be in the situation of the female character in the song, finding the perfect guy and spending time with him. For guys, the attraction comes because a beautiful girl is singing this and they can pretend that she is singing to them. Something similar is also found in the song “Doesn’t Really Matter” by Janet Jackson. In this song she is stating all the things she loves about a certain individual. She can live with his imperfections and doesn’t care what anyone else cares. “Doesn’t really matter what the eye is seeing. Cause I’m in love with the inner being. And it doesn’t really matter what they believe. What matters to me is you’re nutty, nutty, nutty for me.” (Janet Jackson) This song is good in that it is a love song unlike many out there today. In this song we see that the main character loves her man because of who he is.

  • Character and Setting in Popular Music

    551 Words  | 2 Pages

    Of the popular music available today, we can find songs dedicated to telling a story about a lost loved one, a favorite place of recluse, love in general. But not each of the popular songs lay out the setting or give the embodiment of a character. Listening to these songs however, the listener is transposed into the song and can see as the speaker talks. For example, Alicia Keys’s song “Diary.” This song is the voice of a woman speaking to her lover. “Lay your head down on my pillow,” she sings. “Here you can be yourself.” So from the beginning we are invited to witness the sweet whispers of lovers in a room. The bed, inviting and comfortable, sits in center stage. We listen to the woman tell of her love and the security her man can find in her and she in him. “I am the pages of your diary,” she sings. Again, Alicia does not tell us all the details, but somehow the picture is so clear.
