The evidence to support this statement would be the fact that this song expresses the feelings of the song writers regarding success. It also has a rhythm scheme like most lyrical poems. Since the song is a lyrical poem, it is easier to understand and interpret the song writers’ view point regarding success. The song also has many hyperboles to emphasize the meaning of the song. One example would be the following: You can talk to God, go banging on his door ( ). The hyperbole is exaggerating one’s courage and self-confidence. It takes a lot of courage to climb up the mountain. It is filled with rigorous hindrance one must face. When one reaches the top of the mountain, it greatly boosts their self-confidence. This hyperbole is trying to convey the message that once you overcome the hurdles of life, nothing can stop you, not evening “banging on God’s door”. ( ) The song, Hall of Fame, by the Script ft. WILL.I.AM, is written to inspire the listeners. The song writers want everyone that listens to the song to not get caught up in all of the negative spoken about him/her. The song writers think you should not give because of what others say, but actually prove yourself through hard work and dedication. That way you will one day end up in the Hall of
The piano is what sets the mood of the whole piece, the beginning starts off slow and gloomy sounding, then the vocalist begins to sing and confirms that this song is going to be unhappy. Although the song is gloomy sounding, I still like it, the piano has a pleasant melody and it is calming. It sounds like a song that should be played in a movie when a loved one dies and everyone’s moored at a funeral.
This is a metaphor, the figurative language is trying to inform us that when people aren’t sure about achieve their goals. The author added this to tells us that that you should be more confident no matter how many people doubt you or not. This goes along with the common theme since the figurative language is trying to get people to not doubt themselves, and work hard and achieve your goals.
The song writes in the first person. It start with brought out one of the faith, his lover. Then he said “I should've worshipped her sooner”. Instead of using “liked” or “loved”, he use the powerful word “worshipped”, which shows the relationship between the singer and his lover is like a faithful follower and the God. So the two kinds of faith should be clear. One is faith to organized religions, such as Christianity; while the other is faith to his lover. He says “We've a lot of starving faithful”, which could means many people that are religious and have faith, but never get anything in return, or the singer had a lot of sex with his lover. The singer establishes his credibility because he is sharing from what he has witnessed in his own experience. He make the audience believe that he has been through all the story he
The title of the song shines surprisingly clear, though it creates a feeling of being unpleasant and obnoxious for the listeners. The man in this song either feels rejected or disappointed at the world as it seems to be so cruel and also beautiful. Obviously, the world itself always has an equal balance of good and bad and you can never have both. Even though the man got his girl but he feels they are falling apart.
Which was no strange feeling to me since I turned to music to cope with whatever ailed me, because no matter what, a song, some headphones, and volume turned way too loud was always there. Returning to the supple age of ten, was a disconnect, mainly between the receptors in my brain that determine whether or not I get enough of the happy chemicals, but between what I am, and what I thought I was. I thought I was a kid like everyone else, I would be sad for no reason often, but moving many times, and having to be on my own for a large portion of my early to late teens, I thought it was how life was for most people in my situation. My situation was dreary at best, people bullied me extensively in middle school to high school, in the first string of serious relationships I had they all left because of some arbitrary meaning of what being happy should have been; coming to a peak on Valentines day of 2012, the first time I attempted suicide. Suicide is the focus of the song, how abandonment can lead to hopelessness and desperation to the point of the ultimate act of despair, death. “I guess I finally had the courage to go away. The promises we made were made hollowly. Sometimes you'd reassure me we'd be okay. But you'd always leave” (A Lot Like Birds. Kuroi Ledge. Equal Vision Records, 2013.
For many of us, one of the most accurate and effective ways to express the feelings that really matter to us is through music. We don’t only grow to attached to songs that are catchy, but also those with lyrics that we can relate to. It is not uncommon to feel like sometimes, artists can convey the way we feel better than we could ourselves. The storybook-like lines you read at the start of this page are a collection of lyrics
Like in the song Don’t Rain on My Parade sang by Lea Michele says, “I know what I want and I’ve got the perseverance to do it and nothing is going to stand in my way.” Then it says “And if I'm fanned out Your turn at bat, sir At least I didn't fake it Hat, sir, I guess I didn't make it But whether I'm the rose Of sheer perfection Or freckle on the nose Of life's complexion The cinder or the shiny apple of its eye I gotta fly once I gotta try once Only can die once, right, sir?” This song tells me not to let anyone bring me down and, no matter what I can accomplish anything I put my mind to. It also tells me that it will take my trying to know if something is for me or if it is going to lead me to my future.
According to the Oxford Dictionary of English, the word hyperbole comes from the Greek huperbolē (sometimes transliterated as hyperbolē), or ‘excess’ (from huper / hyper ‘above’ + ballein ‘to throw’). In Roman texts, the word could appear in its Greek transliterated form or in its Latin form, superlatio (PORTER, 2001), which means “exaggeration” and therefore, in rhetoric studies, ‘hyperbole’ (FARIA, 1962). It can also be expressed in English by the words ‘overstatement’ and ‘exaggeration’, which will be used interchangeably in this study, except when referring to the term in rhetoric. Whilst the word itself has remained fairly uncontroversial through the centuries, the same cannot be said about its actual application.
From the first stanza of this song, you get put into a scene. You know almost immediately that it is about someone, and it is the middle of December, but without stating the obvious, it paints a more illustrated picture for you. The first line states, “A winters day, in a deep and dark December” and I could almost immediately feel a cool breeze around me. When I normally think of a winter’s day, I think of people playing in the snow, and having a good time. This may be because I grew up in Southern California where there has been a lack of snow, but in my head, that is what I imagine. Having them state, in a deep and dark December, turns my attitudes to the more pessimistic way of looking at things. The image of children playing in the snow in my head has now turned to cold and dark emptiness. Reinstating my idea of emptiness, the next line follows with the simply statement, “I am alone”. Personally, I hate being alone. So to have the opening words place us in a deep and dark setting, and then state that you are alone, automatically puts me in a negative mindset.
The emergence of this song may be of an epochal significance. Of course, everyone has a different understanding of the content of the song. Some people say that this song reacts
We valiantly struggle to do our best, and pass within the necessary limits. Some breezed by on the wings of their genius while some studied day and night to keep up with their peers. Whichever of these you were, you worked hard enough to make it here. We are watched on by these people who have seen us this far, and will be there for us further.
As the statement is playing, midway a slow sorrowful guitar solo begins. Then whistling, bird noises and bomb noises begin to play creating a war like scenario. By using these sounds it creates a sentimental uneasy mood. The song then begins with these lyrics “Look at your young men fighting. Look at your women crying.
In the beginning of the song, the singer uses an example of an obstacle. He wrote, “I’ve had my share of sand kicked in my face, but I’ve come through”. As the song continues he lets the listener know that giving up is not an option, when he sings “…and we’ll keep on fighting ‘til the end”. (Queen). They tell of facing obstacles and never giving up.
The theology of this song is to evidence the unlimited power of the Holy Spirit. There is a daily need for a fresh outpouring of His Spirit. Romans 8:11 provides that “All those who put their faith in Jesus Christ are immediately and permanently indwelt by the Holy Spirit.” 1 Corinthian 2:11(NIV) “For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them?
