The film, The Sapphires, (2012), directed by Wayne Blair depicts the story of four Australian Aboriginal women who travel to Vietnam as a singing quartet to entertain the troops during the war in 1968.

In the heat of the moments two of the girls are split up and forgotten, Dave Lovelace leaves the rest of The Sapphires to recover the lost girls, as Dave frantically searches for the missing Sapphires, he is shot in the chest. This scene is filled with many emotional and intense camera angles, sounds and lighting.
The album begins with the hard-rocker “Come Together”. The song is a perfect example of John Lennon’s rock influence in the Beatles. “Come Together” is a song that’s popularity has been revived due to its appearances in many commercials.

Ringo’s heavy drums and John’s deep poetic lyrics drive the song, while Paul’s voice and George’s sharp guitar contribute to the body of this song. John Lennon was well known for his creative lyrics. His mind provided lyrics for such insightful songs such as “Across the Universe” and “A Day in the Life”.
The Beatles are known, respectively, as the fathers of modern pop music. After their first #1 hit “Please Please Me” was released in 1963 the Beatles were set in motion to become one of the most influential groups of musicians to ever rock our world.

John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr surprisingly all come from humble beginnings in a town that, until their superstardom, was barely noticed on the map.

The Beatles and the Beach Boys are two of the most recognized, well-known and most popular musical acts of the 1960’s right through to the 1970’s. I will be focusing on the group acts rather than solo performers such as John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison of the Beatles, who took their own stylistic approach to their music after the Beatles’ separation. Each group’s arrangement and use of instruments classify them as part of the overall associated sound and typical subject matter of songs in the 1960’s, yet remain different enough to distinguish between each group’s desired sound.
The Beatles were best known for there 1950’s Rock and Roll. Later on, they experimented in several music styles; ranging from pop ballads, Indian music, psychedelia, and finally hard rock. The Beatles consisted of four men, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. The hippie movement and the use of drugs heavily influenced The Beatles, creating a deeper meaning to their songs. McCartney and Lennon found inspiration for the song “Blackbird” when they were exploring India in 1968. An accusation about the song “Blackbird” was simply that they had heard a blackbird singing; however, while being on LSD, a psychedelic drug, they borrowed the music of a blackbird and turned it into a symbol of the hardships African American women faced during the Civil Rights Movement. Other influences such as classical components helped further The Beatles’ music career to new heights. The Beatles were known to write complex songs with deep meanings. Songs off the White Album could be interpreted to have a surface level or metaphorical meaning. “Blackbird” was about discrimination and misfortune the African American women faced during the Civil Rights Movement.

The song I chose to do my project on is “Money” by Pink Floyd from their 1973 album The Dark Side of the Moon. I chose this song because I grew up listening to Pink Floyd on the old record player with my father and this song was one of his many favorites.

This song is about the bad things money can bring. Overall, I picked this

: Hi Diamond, your mention of unbiased information reminded me of an article that discusses the idea of biases, preconceived notions, and self-fulfilling prophecies. The article discussed an interesting theoretical notion, which used the metaphor of a glass cliff, in which women are more likely than men to gain top leadership positions in struggling or failing organizations, even though some research has failed to confirm this (Cook & Glass, 2014). However, this could result in significant barriers toward women in several ways. If women are more likely to be appointed to leadership positions of failing or at-risk companies, this could confirm biases against women if the organization continues to do poorly. This is similar to situations I have
The song that I chose for for my Essay is “Neil Diamond-America”. This song is all positivity on American ethics and American culture. All it talks about it America's great accomplishments. It talks about how great that is that people from other countries are coming from land and by sea just to see how amazing it is to live in America. It talks also made me realize that most Americans don't see America in the same way, that we don't realize the places we have and how truly great our country is. This song analyzes what a foreigner looks in in finding a safe haven or just a new place to live.
