The red hot chili peppers have created rhetorical songs that have created a voice for those who may not have one. There songs are based of the lead singers, and lyric writer Anthony Kedis past experiences that envloves his heavy battle with heroin. This was something that he was brought into at a very young age, and in high he was able to express himself through music, and warn those about the demons who might tempt you in to these sorts of things. The message of the songs are to show his life battle with drugs and unglamorous this life was. It appeals to the audience who had some of these problems or something similar. The song sent the message to them by saying you are not the only ones a lone. The songs that perty much defined who the red hot chili peppers where was Under the Bridge.
This song much like the others it take us to dark place after dealing with a friends death he writes this song under the bridge, because he felt as if he was all alone " sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner". This is how he felt after dealing with friends death and feels all alone by himself...
This song became the perfect background for PSA's. Maybe, after all, there was more to this band than sexuality and drugs. This album has a bit of each of the necessary elements to become a hit. In fact, it has. much more than that.
The Jericho Covered Bridge in Kingsville, Maryland was built in 1865 and restored in 1982. The bridge is 100 feet long and cased in cedar planks and timber beams. Legend has it that after the Civil War many lynchings occurred on the bridge. Passersby were supposedly captured on the bridge and hung from the upper rafters. The bridge is very close to my house and I have driven over it several times. The storyteller, age 19, also lives a couple minutes away from the bridge. He has lived in Kingsville, Maryland his entire life. He recalled a dramatic story he had heard from his older brother involving the haunted bridge.
The relevance of the song was portraying that using drugs and alcohol will help you escape life situations. Regardless of how hard or tough it is. All you need to do is to get drunk or get high, than your problems will flush away. But the video don’t explain the reality of the outcome of how drugs and alcohol will or could affect your lifestyle and how it could lead you to lose your job, family and life. All it shows is the fun side of being intoxicated. Which, it raises a big flag on kids or teens that do have access to the media like the
Song lyrics have set off a great generation of our leisure time than reading poetic devices, therefore song lyrics are better than poetic devices. Song lyrics have dropped numerous lines that attach to us now a days and make us listen to the line over and over unlike poetic devices. Song Lyrics have so much meaning by word choice and by relations.”Mr. Rager” by Kid Cudi, is about people fed up with society and plan on taking a journey. “Dreams” by Edgar Allen Poe, is about a man who dreams of a greater life. Mr. Rager, the song by Scott Cudi, has a better meaning than Dreaming, the poem by Edgar Allen Poe, by personification, allusion, and symbolism.
In the novel, The Other Side of the Bridge by Mary Lawson, the author capitalizes upon society’s expectation of a character to emphasize the struggle to achieving his goals. Ian, one of the central characters in the plot line, is heavily impacted by these expectations, which hold a substantial influence upon his decision’s regarding his future. To teenagers an expectation: a strong belief that something will happen or be the case in the future, is nothing but a restriction upon them. Ian believes he is contained within these expectations; to the point where he does not wish to follow this given path. In a time of adolescence, teenagers are compelled by the strong desire to denounce that which is expected of them; Ian is no exception to this. Societies expectations create a negative influence upon Ian’s struggles to achieve his goals. These effects are due to the following expectations: to leave Struan for a superior education, to obtain the opportunity to become successful; to strive for a medical career, since he excels at the trade already; and to settle into a happy relationship, to raise a family.
Pathos: The emotions that are really being played on the most are anger. People have so much anger when they can not understand the world or what is going on in it. The audience becomes furious to all the killing and death in the world and they need someone there to sympathize with them. Anti-Flag gets the listener angry by exposing the faults of the world. The listener appreciates this because Anti-Flag will not sell into the wrongs of the world. It uses the emotion of finding comfort in that there is someone else out there that has the same views as the listener does. The band uses punk rock music as a common ground with the listeners and expresses their views through their songs. This relates back to the author because this is a great way to protest through music.
In essence, this song carries various sociological concepts. It concentrates on the main idea about the social construction of reality and talking about how reality is changing. The song questions the actions and mentally of individuals violating the norms and values of society. The band takes into consideration various factors of why it is happening including the media and religion. As a result they talk about such influences taking control building and developing a sense of self. This is a great song about present day problems and how society changes with them.
Interpersonal relationships are a potent entity that wildly flutter, like a liberated pigeon, through the miserable docks of Elia Kazan’s 1954 film ‘On the Waterfront,’ shaping the moral metamorphosis of protagonist Terry Malloy – from an analysts perspective, the ‘power’ source of the film. Terry’s voyage from an inarticulate and diminished “bum” to a gallant “contender,” is the pedestal that the film gyrates around, however, it is palpable that Terry – a man branded with his primitive mores - is not equipped of emancipating himself from the self-preservative cycle of “D and D” singlehandedly. Therefore, the catalytic, moral facilitation of inspirational outsiders - Edie Doyle and Father Barry – are essential to the rewiring of Terry’s conscience and his propulsion into “testifying what is right against what is wrong.” However, rapports do not simply remain ‘strong’ and stable for the entire duration of the film – they fluctuate. Terry shuffles closer to the side of morality each scene, portrayed by the simultaneous deterioration of Terry’s intertwinement with Johnny Friendly and “the mob” and intensification of his romantic involvement with Edie and confidence in Father Barry. Relationships fuel and glorify Terry’s powerful, audience-enthralling journey to morality.
He sings, “Friend, please remove your hands from / Over your eyes for me / I know you want to leave but / Friend, please don't take your life away from me.” These words, combined with the piano and the sudden lack of noise, create a very moving effect. The first two lines leave the listener curious as to why it is so important that the friend uncovers his eyes. The last two lines give more clarity into the meaning of the stanza. When taken as a whole, the listener can understand the situation the singer is in, where his friend wants to die, but he is not ready to let go. This deeper understanding of the chorus gives the listener a feeling of understanding and also of sadness. It also symbolizes his friend trying to hide how he’s feeling. The eyes are the windows to the soul, and he didn’t want to show what was going on in his
.... These lines in the song sum up to the fact the when you are fifteen you heart does get broken and you do look back and wish you never fell for the act and that boys don’t mean everything sometimes you need to put yourself first and think about what you want in life. This songs also ties back to the poem as this song is like a war aswell she had to battle through getting her heart broken.
of reality. The song looks at the downfalls in our society and how things went
One of the elements implemented by Springsteen is the way he tells the story of the murders through Starkweather’s perspective. By using Starkweather as the speaker, Springsteen is forced to assume the role as a dark and highly troubled human being. He sings about the events of the grisly murders and his impending execution in an unemotional and passionless tone. This makes the song even more chilling, as his tone is supposed to represent the lack of emotion felt by Starkweather. Springsteen also makes usage of metaphors throughout the song. He mentions a “great void” which could represent multiple things. The void could be Hell, or the void could be the emptiness that Starkweather finds in this life. I believe that it is meant to represent the nothingness in this life that some people feel exists when they reach adulthood. For Starkweather, all hopes and dreams of his childhood have been extinguished. There is nothing left for him to live for, creating a bitter rage against reality and all who live in
A view from the bridge was written by Arthur Miller in 1955.It is set in Brooklyn in the city of New York in a place called Red Hook. Here there is a great emphasis on Italian migrant families. At that time people where coming from Sicily and they where running away from a life of poverty. Mainly it was the men who moved to America to find a well paid job and then send the money they made to their families back in Sicily.
From the first stanza of this song, you get put into a scene. You know almost immediately that it is about someone, and it is the middle of December, but without stating the obvious, it paints a more illustrated picture for you. The first line states, “A winters day, in a deep and dark December” and I could almost immediately feel a cool breeze around me. When I normally think of a winter’s day, I think of people playing in the snow, and having a good time. This may be because I grew up in Southern California where there has been a lack of snow, but in my head, that is what I imagine. Having them state, in a deep and dark December, turns my attitudes to the more pessimistic way of looking at things. The image of children playing in the snow in my head has now turned to cold and dark emptiness. Reinstating my idea of emptiness, the next line follows with the simply statement, “I am alone”. Personally, I hate being alone. So to have the opening words place us in a deep and dark setting, and then state that you are alone, automatically puts me in a negative mindset.
The music was recorded as an emotional release from the loss of a band mate. The emotion clearly shines through, and the callbacks to classic Nirvana techniques pays tribute to the lost band. The album does not attempt to be anything more than it is: a catchy, energetic, emotional release. The album’s clear accomplishment of this is evident by the success it has seen despite the modest beginnings of a small cassette release. The catchy melody and lyrics set a baseline for the work of the Foo Fighters and gave promise of the growth to
