Dear Listener, I am a tall brunette who loves everything to do with the outdoors, hiking, camping, biking, flowers everything (except for flies :P). Although I love the outdoors I still enjoy a night curled up in bed with my laptop and just surf the internet. I am a teenage girl from Fredericton New Brunswick and grew up hiking mountains by the age of two shocking everyone on our path. I live with my two parents, my older brother and my big fluffy Goldendoodle Finnegan. Now I am a grade nine French-Immersion student making a soundtrack to my life, curiously waiting to see what opportunities come my way. So, without further ado, I present to you the soundtrack of my life in chronological order. My first song is “Black Horse and the Cherry …show more content…
In the early grades of school, my friend Sarah and I always used to listen and sing this song on our way to and from school on the school bus. We knew all the lyrics to the song by heart and would holler out the lyrics in the back seat of the bus. This memory is very important to me because I love looking back at all the silly little things I did when I was younger and remembering how simple and relaxed everything was. I think this memory shows that I like having fun with my friends and that I don’t mind being a little silly in …show more content…
This song is a song I listened to all of grade eight. The title of the song is a metaphor for the author getting more freedom and being able to “fly” which is something that happened to me last year. Last year we were given more freedom at our school like not always eating in the cafeteria or being able to go downtown occasionally. This really helped me be less stressed about school and made me enjoy school a little more. I’ve never been the biggest fan of school so when we were given this freedom I enjoyed my weeks so much more. I think this shows that I appreciate my freedom and when I’m given that I can relax a little and enjoy myself. My final song is “Spirits” by The Strumbellas. The song reminds me of last summer because my family and I hummed this song all summer long. It’s important to me because last summer was by far my favourite summer yet so with this song I am able to keep these wonderful memories close (what made it the best summer yet is that I got a pool! Plus other fun things as well). I made so many fun memories last summer and I always think of them when I hear this song so, it holds a special place in my heart. I think that these summer memories show how much I love the season and all the things you can do during the
This song brings back happy memories of me and my sister. Sense i didnt see her much growing up, whenever we saw each other we would dance parties and my mom would paint our nails. This was our favorite song and we would play it over and over until everyone would get annoyed. It was a lot of fun and we still play this song sometimes when we see eachother now, its like a little memory of our childhood. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOHAogvC6c4
It reminds us of how important it is to have a bond with people who love you and to cherish every moment with them. By listening to this song, it has made me want to spend more time with my family, especially my dad. He is a major influence in my life because he has made me who I am today. When him or my mother tell me how proud they are of me, I thank them for leading me in the direction they did. My dad has taught me to chase my dreams, but always know that he’s by my side. He also taught me to “take on this whole world”, but in the end I will always be his “little
My final winter concert has come and gone quicker than I could have possibly imagined. It was certainly one I will never forget because it was my very first time performing in every band and choir group. It was a very stressful night but having it perfectly planned and having help from many of my fellow performers definitely made me feel a lot more at ease. This concert definitely had it’s ups and downs and there are somethings that I wish went a lot better. However in the end, I did enjoyed performing and gave it a lot of effort.
Christmas is fast approaching and with it comes the joyful bliss of Yuletide carols and christmas songs that seem to spark the cheery feeling in us all. With that comes my favorite christmas song that illuminates special holiday memories from the past, "This Christmas" by Chris Brown. This is a song spent listening too with family and friends rejoicing in times of play and rest, encompassing some of the best memories of my younger days. When I think of precious moments that over flood my mind while listening to this song, I am reminded of a season filled with joy and revelry. Whether it be crafting the perfect gift for a loved one, going to church on christmas morning, decorating the christmas tree, constructing a gingerbread house with the family, visiting Santa at the mall, or even attending a christmas parade. No matter what the event was, it was a time to rejoice and create new memories with the ones I loved and to be grateful for the things we had.
Airplanes by B.o.B featuring Hayley Williams, is a song about two people who are tired of fame and wish to be able to go back to when life was simpler. It is also saying how life used to be easier, but as time goes on it steady gets harder and harder. The song also mentions how money is becoming more important to every one instead of their actual happiness. It a...
What does music mean to you? Music is something that has been around for many years. It started out as just some drums and a few instruments, but has changed a lot over time. The dictionary defines music as “an art of sound in time that expresses ideas and emotions in significant forms through the elements of rhythm, melody, harmony, and color.” When I think of music I think of it has a story combined with instrumental sounds. Over the years, it has changed so much, some for the good and the bad. There are many different types of music and different emotions it will bring.
Depressed thoughts mixed with constant confusion for a high school boy is not an ideal combination. My genetics paired with a few awry experiences cause myself to be a victim to dark, cloudy thoughts. It doesn’t happen to many people, therefore nobody truly understands me, or how my witty brain truly works. With those negative words being said, I know that everything will be okay in the end and that everything has a purpose. For my song that defines me, I chose “Day ‘N Nite”, by Kid Cudi.
Some weeks earlier I had sensed impending stress levels (midterms on the horizon) and decided to prepare for the crises by purchasing an old favorite movie of mine. So, as planned, that night I retrieved my emergency bag of comfort food and cuddled with friends to the sonorous sounds of Gene Kelly’s Singing in the Rain. As a child I had watched the old musical uncountable times - earning it a special place in my heart. The silly and cheery charm of the tapping tunes seemed to suck any stress straight out of my soul. Nostalgia enveloped me in a blanket of warmth like a cozy fire and suddenly it felt as though all was right in the world.
Good memories-we bury them in the chest of our hearts, locked in so tight, to never be forgotten. Yet, the harder we hold on, the more they seem to slip away. So we document these memories in some way, whether by a photograph, journal entry, or poem. But, the wretched hardships are twisted in with the beautiful moments in life. No one wants to remember the awful memories, but we record them any how. They give us perspective. It’s through life’s trials we grow the most; it’s through living and revisiting our worst moments that we can reflect how wonderful life truly is. Memories about childhood written by nikki Giovanni in “Knoxville, Tennessee” and Li-Young Lee in ”A Hymn to Childhood” are diverse on the their difficult experiences,
How do we arrive at our musical taste? Is musical taste an individual consideration or purely a product of our social circumstances? Why do people acquire musical taste and what do they use it for? “Tastes are relatively unproductive: the objects are simply random signs, the subjects are merely reproducing the hierarchy of social positions.” (Bourdieu, 1984).
... been related to months and seasons maybe because the hidden message of the song is that love is a never-ending cycle (like the seasons). This would indicate that love will inevitably die, but be reborn again, perhaps in the form of someone else or with the same person. This then could lead to the theory that this song was written to be compatible with everything that is loved i.e. a new job, new friend etc and that it often deteriorates through familiarity. Such depth in a song compares to the depth of a poem in terms of the hidden meanings and imagery.
I wonder if that day changed me - forged me into the person that I am today. I’m not quite sure if it changed me, but I am sure it changed something. After that day, whenever I listen to those lighthearted songs of Billy Joel, they just don’t feel the same.
By the next day I had felt rejuvenated but still like any other kid I dreaded the idea of sitting on my ass for hours. As I was walking to school feeling the warm spring breeze on my face, I listened to Fun, We Are Young. Singing the words as loud as if I was in my shower at home “tonight we are young, so let's set the world on fire we can
Driving home after a long, difficult day, I turned on some music, searching for relief. The CD in the player consisted of all my favorite songs: “Pee Wee Long Way( Chasing)’,” “Lil Boosie (Long Journey),”Lil snupe “(Nobody),” and many others. My number one favorite song, “(Chasing),” was the first to play. Singing along to the lyrics, my mood was immediately better. This song reminded me of what was important in my life, my dreams and money. I then realized what these songs had in common; they all reflected my feelings on life: don’t give up on your dreams and don’t worry about every little thing life throws at you, keep chasing your dream until you reach the top.
By the twelfth song which was the last I could still feel the atmosphere, the pride and the gratitude of the people. We were just happy to be in their presence. For the last song the whole crowd moved together in a bizarre, alternative. dance. I am a sassy girl.
