  • Song Analysis Dave Matthews Band : Gravedigger

    670 Words  | 2 Pages

    The analysis of this song lead me to actually dislike the song because I found that my first impression of the song was much different than after analyzing it for weeks. I love the bands music but I just don't like this one particular song. I guess there are many ways to interpret this song but I feel as if the song is way to deep in thought for a singer such as Dave Matthews. As Dave stated at one of his concerts, "Some people drink, and some don't; some people like to smoke a bowl, and some don't. Some people do and some people don't but its ok `cause it was ment to be that way." Dave Matthews is no Wordsworth, but its ok because it was meant to be that way!

  • Highway Don't Care, by Tim McGraw

    1510 Words  | 4 Pages

    Elizabeth is in her blue colored Honda Civic driving the highway on her way home from her workplace, listening to “Love Somebody” by Maroon 5 on the radio station. Out of nowhere, while Elizabeth was belting out the chorus, there is an ear-splitting and obnoxious sounding ding coming from the passenger seat. Her Android has a new text message and it is probably from her boyfriend, Adrian. Elizabeth reaches for the cell but it slips off of the seat and plummets onto the floorboard. She hurriedly glances up and gazes at the road, then dives down fast as lightning, or so she believes, and retrieves her Android. But she was not hasty enough and her car went off of the road and began rolling down a small hill and finally landed upside down in a ditch. She was helicoptered to a nearby hospital and was rushed into surgery. If only Elizabeth had been listening to the song, “Highway Don’t Care” by Tim McGraw and contemplating the lyrics to this ballad, then maybe she would not have been in the accident.

  • Theme Of We Didn T Start The Fire

    The first theme relates to the conflicts that are mentioned in the song. Most of these conflicts were generated hundreds of years ago and passed from one generation to the other. One example of these problems that can be seen in the song is the segregation in America, which was originated hundreds of years ago when the first slaves settled in the Americas. Eventually, all the racial problems exploded in the 1960s and the racial discrimination was blamed to Joel´s generation. In addition, the second theme is the failed attempt of his generation to achieve world peace. Billy Joel’s generation tried to fix international conflicts and achieve peace. They also had notable leaders like Kennedy and Malcom X, who tried to fight for human rights.

  • John Lennon's Song Imagine

    1407 Words  | 3 Pages

    "I hope some day you will join us, and the world will live as one" Simplicity combines with deep meaning when John Lennon expresses his thoughts in his song "Imagine." This song was a huge hit in the 70’s, the time in which the Vietnam War was occurring. John Lennon’s “Imagine”, was a protest song that questions the morality of war, shows anti-war statements and emphasizes the importance of world peace. In America, every civilian has the Freedom of Speech. For this, artists have every right to compose a protest song. Even if the government is not fond of it, anyone could potentially write a song going against his or her beliefs, which is exactly what Lennon did with "Imagine," in a peaceful way. At the time Lennon’s song went against most beliefs, for people believed that violence in war was the answer to everything. Amongst passive resistance, the refusal to cooperate with legal requirements, strikes and angry mobs, Lennon chose the much calmer approach and simply composed a protest song. A protest song is simply a song that argues a point and tries to encourage one thing against another. In his song "Imagine", Lennon protest that the World should live in peace; keep in mind the Vietnam War was occurring at the time. It was then that protest songs were created to try and make points across, without the actual violence of rioting in protest.

  • The Impacts Of Popular Culture: Imagine By John Lennon

    1957 Words  | 4 Pages

    This song talks about the differences of nationalities, religions and races that become the factors which divide the world and there are no sense of unity amongst all human beings due to the emphasization on these differences. In his lyric, he is trying to convey the message that why not all human beings put aside all differences in nationalities, races and so on that we have with each other and embrace the differences while asking people to imagine a harmony and better world. This can be seen in the line “Imagine there's no countries, It isn't hard to do” and “Imagine all the people, Living life in peace”. Then, in the line “Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can, no need for greed or hunger”, John Lennon also touches that mankind are greedy and insensible towards other people’s sufferings, poorness and rich people keep wanting to become richer. Therefore, he is inviting us to imagine what it feels like to have no possessions and how magnificent a world can be if people care for each other, share the world together and the riches could help the poor ones even though these are not the actuality in today’s world. In addition to that, the chorus of this song depicts that even if people say that he is a dreamer but he is confident that everyone in this world would agree with him one day. Basically, this song rejects the idea of nationalism, capitalism and materialism in which John Lennon believes that this world can be peaceful without all of these elements and the war or people killing each other should be stopped. All of these are some of the social consciousness issues that are being brought up by John Lennon in this particular
