There are a lot of songs to choose form when there is songs that break down norms and one that reinforce some. There are songs that mean nothing. Great songs always have a hidden mean behind them even if when listen to them we do not know what they are.
My first song I´ve chosen is Sean McGee, song titled My Story. Mainly the song is about him facing different struggles, obstacles, and all the horrible things and situations he´s been in throughout his life. I can connect to this song and the lyrics for many reasons. One of his lines were ¨Do you know how it feels to be left out in the rain¨? And I have faced times like this when I feel like no one is there or have my back, and in the line he´s trying express how it feels to have nobody and be all alone. Also throughout this song he expresses how everyday you wake up your face with something rather it's just a minor issue or something that will greatly impact your life.
The first song I want to use choose to represent me is called “Gravity”, by NBA Youngboy. I chose this song because I can relate to some of the things he said in the song. For example, when I had my car sometimes I would just go riding around Lake Village by myself late at night to think about things going on in my life. Sometimes I would stop at the lake and just look at the water because of how peaceful it is. This song can just put me in my right mind and calm me down.

The song I’ve chosen for this assignment is Old Friends by the band Pinegrove. This is a charming alt-rock song about remembering old connections, and holding on to the new ones. In the song singer Evan Stephens Hall realizes he doesn’t make enough time for the people he really cares about when a friend of his passes away. Although I may not be able to relate to the song completely, I can definitely relate to the overall message the band is trying to get across, specifically in a few lines. “I kept saying I wanted to see you/ Saying, ‘What’s wrong with that?’
One of my all-time favorite songs that tells a story is, "Love Like Crazy," by Lee Brice. This song tells about how Lee Brice went through life and how he made it through with the love of his life. "Be a best friend, tell the truth, and overuse ‘I love you,’ go to work, do your best, don`t out smart your common sense, never let your praying knees get lazy, and love like crazy," is a meaningful line from the lyrics of the song. This line of the lyrics tells how a person can get through life through the good and bad times. More people in this world should take this song as advice for life. I have listened to this song over a thousand times, and I get more out of it each time I listen to it. I relate to this song`s story because I am living this story right now in my life. I was seventeen when I found the love of my life. Everyone around me told me I was crazy, and I had no clue what love was. I have proven them wrong so far because I have been with the love of my life for four years now. Also, I am a child grew up with nothing and I have learned that I have to work for what I what in life. I have worked since I was fifteen, and I have loved every minute of it. I also am one who will follow my dreams even if everyone around me is telling me that I cannot do it, or I am not able to do it. This song`s story has been an inspiration to me in many

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. He used to tell me about this song and how it was relevant in the 70’s and to this day the old cash register noise always brings back memories. The song itself was Pink Floyd’s first hit in the US. The song represents the American dream of getting more money and the thought of money solving all the problems. People spend a great amount of their life trying to gain more money, whether it is investing their money, purchasing lottery tickets, spending it in casinos, working for it, or even stealing it. This song is about the bad things money can bring. Overall, I picked this
Music a part of me, memories splashed across the notes of my life. Wrapped in a rhythm, and kept with a beat. My emotions tucked in measures of composition, and words of free flowed tears, or happy warm hugs, and smiles. Each song is a remembrance of pain, anguish, love, fun sorrow, regret, and happiness. Sometimes all at the same time, yet songs have captured it in their elements.
I have decided to put my music into a timeline of when I first heard them and why I have continued to associate them with my life. Each one of these songs have at one point struck me in a way that they remain on my present day playlist. They all bring back specific memories and for most, I can recall exactly what was happening the first time I heard it, or at the very least the emotion I was feeling.
“Pocketful of Sunshine” by Natasha Bedingfield has always been a song that I felt like that defines me and my attitude. The lyric “Do what you want, but you're never gonna break me/ Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me” has a meaning full tug on my heart (Bedingfield). Ever since I was young I have had people tell me, not directly, that I wasn’t good enough and I was always beaten down. I have always tried to have this attitude. I would physically say “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me”, so this songs meaning surely hits home with me. Another thing that stands out about this song is its upbeat music that I absolutely adore. This upbeat music lets me release my inner goofiness, as for when I hear the song I cannot help but dance around and enjoy myself. This song also has a lyric stating “The sun is on my side/ Take me for a ride/ I smile up to the sky/ I know I'll be all right” (Bedingfield). This lyric pertains to me as well for I’m one to love being outside and having a good time. From this lyric I imagine some friends and myself just riding around with the top down and enjoying the presence of each other. My group of friends all have a free spirited souls and I’m so thrilled to have them around me.

Music can move a person in incredible ways, whether by healing, inspiring, saddening, or even angering. But when a song touches in a positive way it imprints a lasting memory of itself in the heart and soul. That might explain why some of the most classic and popular songs through the centuries are love songs. The creative ocean of love lyrics and melodies is probably as vast as a Universe and among the shining stars are two humbling songs that will continue to move the emotions. "Somewhere out there" and "Dreaming of you" are two musical creations that have planted a lasting impression in many people’s heart.
