Oochigeas And The Invisible Hunter: Song Analysis

164 Words1 Page

I chose this song because it is a really good song and it connects with Oochigeas and the Invisible Hunter. It reminds me of this myth because Oochigeas wants to leave the horrible place she calls home she wants to fly away and chase the wind and be free of her evil sisters. In the song it also talks about being free and taking hold of dreams. This song can also pertain to the myth about SaynDay because they want to be free of the darkness and in the song it says where dark woods hide secrets and mountains are fierce and bold. SaynDay and all the animals want to touch the sky they want the sun and all it has to offer. On their journey to retrieve the sun they have to be led into the light(the sun) and as strong as the seas are stormy(bravery).

    Repetition is used many times in this song, especially when it states the phrase ‘ You better listen to your tribal voice’, ‘So you better get up and fight for your rights’ and ‘say c’mon, c’mon stand up for your rights’. These phrases mean a lot the writer Yothu Yindi, so by repeating them many times it means that he is trying to get you feel the same angry and fearless emotion he is, so you can take a stand and speak for what you think is wrong. Personification is also used many times to show that not just the writer wants you to feel this way but other matters are as well. Personification used in this song includes ‘the whisper of the morning light saying get up and meet the day’ and ‘walking of a rainbow dawn’ which gives human characteristics to other states of matter. Sometimes not all phrases are stated clearly that is why symbolism is used to add a different effect to people’s writing to make it more interesting and intriguing. It states in the song Tribal Voice ‘All the people in

    It is also the piece that had enough of an effect to make the evil man go away, in the film, Fantasia. My strongest reaction to this piece, is the warm and chilled feeling I get hearing it. The idea of developing “chilled” bones from music is amazing. I arrived at this certain place, by truly diving into the song. I really listened to it, and could hear the seriousness in the singer’s voice. I could hear and understand the passion that the musicians felt when they pressed the piano’s keyboards. The singing, along with the instruments complimenting, is astonishing. I caught myself listening to this piece during the interview, and I could imagine even an evil monster falling in love with this tune enough to turn good. I felt the drama and power in the singing, and the seriousness in the playing of the

    For example, one line, “Soon our pilgrimage will cease; Soon our happy hearts will quiver, with the melody of peace,” which is saying that one day we will die, and you can’t stop that. “Lay we every burden down; Grace our spirits will deliver, and provide a robe and a crown,” also reveals that you should appreciate what we’ve had, and what was given to us. This song is telling you, in every line, that you can’t live forever, but appreciate what you have, while you

    ... way they are moving from the bad things all around them into the good, that is, the music. In this way they are in a way escaping from the darkness that is around them every day even if only for a short time. It's the only light they have. This is when the author uses the image of darkness for the last time. " For, while the tale of how we suffer, and how we are delighted, and how we may triumph is never new, it always must be heard. There isn't any other tale to tell, it's the only light we've got in all this darkness." This supports that their music is the only thing that is totally good in their lives. With all the violence and despair that is around them all of the time, music is the only way they can free themselves.

  • Abraham Martin And John Analysis

    The lyrics sung slowly, the instruments aided by the mournful violin and harp, all gave the song a haunting quality. Its lyrics, while simple, hold depth. The first three verses are repetitive, the first verse talks about Abraham Lincoln, the second refers to John F. Kennedy and the third is about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The verses explain how one day the men were no longer around because they were shot and killed. It then says how he freed a lot of people, that is referring to the fact that each man was an advocate for civil rights. Finally, it sums up the verse explaining how the good die young and each man died suddenly. The next, fourth verse, changes a bit. It states, how each man stood for a valuable cause and saw the good in people. it also states hope that their dream of equality will one day be achieved. Finally the fifth and final verse starts similar to the first three remembering Bobby Kennedy. It states, how he died for his beliefs and in doing so, joined the men who had done the same before him, including his older brother, John Kennedy. It was not a shock when the song did so well on the music charts. While rarely heard on the radio in the twenty-first century, in the decade following its release Abraham, Martin, and John was constantly playing. Numerous bands have done covers of the song as well, including a popular version by Whitney Houston.

  • Drinking Gourd Analysis

    662 Words  | 2 Pages

    As the song comes from a slavery ridden world, roughly the late 1800’s, the person who interpreted and wrote down the song uses an uneducated tone by cutting off words or using incorrect grammar. By using this diction he embodies the oral aspect of the lyrics, seeing as folksongs and tales are always passed down or taught orally. The original authors, being slaves that were still entrapped, used metaphors like the drinking gourd so that the slave owners would just shrug it off as nothing. The song is also heavy in imagery, “The river bed makes a mighty fine road, dead trees to show you the way…” Slaves would need to be given landmarks so they knew they were on the correct path as well as the constant of the Big Dipper.

  • Analysis of the Song Some Nights by Fun

    1472 Words  | 3 Pages

    The song is interesting because reading the lyrics, listening to the song, and watching the music video all give different meanings about the song. Reading the lyrics suggests that the song is a depressing story about the inner turmoil the writer is feeling and how he is not sure what to do with his life. But after listening to this upbeat and happy song, it seems like it may not be as dreary as it seemed at first. After watching the music video the message can be reinterpreted to be about the internal conflicts of a soldier fighting in a war and he does not know what he is fighting for. The fact that the music completely changes how the lyrics are interpreted is interesting. Nate uses many literary techniques to make this song mysterious and open to interpretation depending on how it is experienced.

  • Hope Metaphors

    707 Words  | 2 Pages

    This is told to the audience through a poetic technique which is metaphor, like the other phrases exploring the idea of possibility found in the first and second stanza.The phrase “I’ve heard it in the chillest land - / and on the strongest sea” is the metaphor found in the third stanza. This metaphorical phrase is talking about hope and possibility at the same time. You can’t actually hear hope, but this metaphor is telling the audience that hope can happen in the “chillest land” and on the “strongest sea”. The “chillest land” and “strongest sea” if modernised, symbolises extreme adversity. Emily Dickinson, the poet, is telling the audience that a person going through extreme adversity can still find hope, a person going through extreme adversity can still find possibility that things will get better for them. This is what possibility can do, it can give people hope, people who may be going through tough circumstances. Possibility is capable of bringing hope to those stuck in a sticky situation, the audience is informed by that in a phrase with a deep meaning located in the third

    Stanza three explains what life was like at the farm he lived on, as the previous stanzas have. Line twenty describes the landscape and how beautiful it is. It describes it as Fields high as the house, the tunes from the chimneys, it was air,” (20). Lines twenty one through twenty three use more imagery to describe the landscape. They use words such as “lovely and watery” (21) to show how pleasant it was to gaze upon the land. The word “And” is also repeated in the beginning of each of these lines which creates suspense. They also show repetition by repeating words such as “green” and it brings up the starry night again. Line twenty four talks about owls and how they are starting to come out. The day is starting to end and there is still beauty in everything. Now night has begun and all the things that made the day happy and carefree are starting to disappear. Lines twenty five through twenty seven use imagery to show that the moon is appearing and the horses and everything else is disappearing into the night. This begins to show that the youth the speaker is experiencing is starting to
