The Joy and Happiness of Love
Cheerful, elated, and head-over-heels in love are just a few words that come to mind when hearing the song “Come to Me” by the Goo Goo Dolls. The upbeat and catchy song that got stuck in many people’s heads in 2013 tells a meaningful story to all its listeners. The song shows the joys and happiness of two people in love and how together they can overcome anything. The song writer uses imagery, diction, rhythm and rhyme to have the listeners feel how powerful love is, and how it can change anyones life. The song captures the attention of people that are in love and people that want to find love, but not just anyone, someone they could call all theirs, someone who they have the strongest connection with.

Throughout the song, certain words are used to catch the listeners’ attention and make their connection to the song stronger because they can relate to it. The word choices that the singer uses throughout the song are unique and show the feelings of someone in love. One set of rhyming word choices the singer uses is “faithful” and “grateful”, but the singer also means them in literal terms. In a relationship, both partners have to be faithful to one another and both should always be grateful for one another and respect each other for what the other has said and done in their relationship. One powerful phrase the singer uses is, “I’d be free” (7). When one thinks of being free of everything, one thinks of having no commitments or having nothing to worry about. The way he uses this phrase is that he is only truly free and worry free with the one he loves. This phrase is an oxymoron because it contradicts itself, but it is also supported by itself by the way people feel toward each other while in committed relationships. While in a serious relationship, people have a lot of responsibilities towards one another, such as commitment and having to worry about the well being of each other. People would not consider a person being truly free having all these commitments toward another person. The way the singer takes the term “I’d be free” is …show more content…

Being in love changes people to the very core, and gives them a sense of happiness, safety, and excitement to be with the one they care about.

He is explaining how a wife’s life is that of her husband. No matter what condition or temperament her husband comes home in, she must tend to his every need no questions asked. This is a very unfair way for women to live their lives seeing as she has hardly anything in her life that is her own.
The article “ In Defense of “Trap Queen” as our generation’s Greatest Love Song” by Hanif Abdurraqib, who is a poet, essayist, and cultural critic from Columbus, Ohio, writes about todays modern “love song’s” and their meanings. Hanif believes that todays modern generation love songs are not the same as they once were, because the meaning of love has evolved over time. Love songs have a different kind of passion then the once did, they have evolved the passion of love towards each other to a whole different level of passion. The meaning of a love song has changed its not all about only love towards someone, its changed to the love for the life style they live with the success they 've made to be where they are. This life style involving money, drugs. and sex, which is very blunt about how they describe it, is what “love” is to them and the young crowd
In romantic words, the poet expresses how much she does think of love. She state it clear that she will not trade love for peace in times of anguish.
Music is regarded as a method of passing a message. Though some songs do not intend to do that, the message in them is still perceived. The song, “Get up, ...
Stated in the first metaphor of the poem, “How do they do it, the ones who make love without love? Beautiful as dancers, gliding over each other like ice skaters” (lines 1-3) captures an image of two lovers gliding over one another like an abstract artistic painting in a simile. The cold atmosphere indicates the disdain detachment between the lovers during the experience. In modern society, many believe in the “no strings attached” method as part of a liberation for one’s self. Yet, Olds creates a paradox in the imagery by describing the people “red as steak, wine, wet as the children at birth whose mothers are going to five them away” (lines 6-8). In literal concept, the images display a child birth after an eventful sexual experience. When a child enters the world, it comes responsibility many young adults don’t care to handle, thus creating a narcissistic for the younger generation. Nevertheless, the syntax, form, and tone are broken down as Olds further answers her frustrations to society. A tonal shift reverted any ambiguities about these faceless sexual beings by describing them as “the ones who will not accept a false Messiah, love the priest instead of the God” (lines 15-16). Without the great
Songs and poems have a lot of great and powerful words, but sometimes nobody realizes the true meaning of the words. The song, “Wanted,” written by Hunter Hayes and his co-writer, Troy Verges, performed by Hunter Hayes, is about making the one you love feel loved and wanted. This country pop song produced by Dann Huff and Hunter Hayes was released on March 5, 2012. Hunter told Taste of Country about writing the song: "At the time, I was trying to tell somebody something, but I couldn't figure out how to say it. So I wanted to say it in music because I knew it would be a little more impactful. I wanted to say we are great in this relationship together, and I feel like it could even get better." The three literary devices used in this poem to get the theme across are hyperbole, simile, and indirect characterization.
The re-invasion of pop music has brought out the theme of love and relationships even more so then ever. If a songwriter has “writer’s block”, then the simple solution is to write a love song. “All I want is you (Come over here baby). All I want is you (You make me go crazy)... I‘m gonna love you right...” (Aguilera), is part of the chorus to Christina Aguilera’s song “Come on Over”. The attraction to this song to girls is in thinking that they could be in the situation of the female character in the song, finding the perfect guy and spending time with him. For guys, the attraction comes because a beautiful girl is singing this and they can pretend that she is singing to them. Something similar is also found in the song “Doesn’t Really Matter” by Janet Jackson. In this song she is stating all the things she loves about a certain individual. She can live with his imperfections and doesn’t care what anyone else cares. “Doesn’t really matter what the eye is seeing. Cause I’m in love with the inner being. And it doesn’t really matter what they believe. What matters to me is you’re nutty, nutty, nutty for me.” (Janet Jackson) This song is good in that it is a love song unlike many out there today. In this song we see that the main character loves her man because of who he is.
CSNY is profoundly successful in conveying their message in the song by using the right lyrics and vocals accompanied by the tune of the guitars. “Helplessly Hoping” can be interpreted in so many ways that in either way it, nonetheless, will insinuate on the same thing, which is love. As they put it love is not lying, and it will always be around. Listening to the song can put one in an emotional roller-coaster that its theme can be known beforehand. This perplexed relationship describes the essence of love, and its implications. It reflects on how love can be capricious, which gives a sense of mystery. The harmony of the group in the song makes it one of my favorites, and puts it in my top list of love songs in all times.
For many of us, one of the most accurate and effective ways to express the feelings that really matter to us is through music. We don’t only grow to attached to songs that are catchy, but also those with lyrics that we can relate to. It is not uncommon to feel like sometimes, artists can convey the way we feel better than we could ourselves. The storybook-like lines you read at the start of this page are a collection of lyrics
In Coldplay’s song, “Paradise”, the songwriters use exaggerative language, personification, and rhetorical techniques to tell the story of a little girl’s escape from the harshness and disappointment of reality. The listeners of this song are treated to a beautifully written story about a girl’s maturity through the struggles and disappointment that life has offered to her. Some of the most effective ways that the songwriters explain the plight of the girl are when they attach the listener emotionally with her plight through their use of exaggerated language and personification. Ultimately, the girl copes with her situation and shows signs of maturity; which, enforces the emotional connection that the audience feels with her.
The poem “come live with me and be my love” is a love poem written
In the opening verse of the song, the speaker discusses the need to see her childhood home at least once more before moving on with her life. She shares with the current homeowner some of her experiences while growing up in the house. For instance, she says, “I know they say you can’t go home again, but I just had to come back one last time.” This shows that the speaker realizes that returning “home” is going to be a different experience than it was when she lived there, but she cannot resist the temptation of a final visit to the “house”. The speaker says that “Up those stairs in that little back bedroom, is where I did my homework and learned to play guitar. And I bet you didn’t know, under that live oak, my favorite dog is buried in the yard.” This indicates some of the significant memories the speaker has of her time in the house, such as honing her...
In this first stanza, the speaker claims to agree with the mistress - he says he knows waiting for love provides the best relationships. It feels quasi-Rogerian, as the man is giving credit to the woman's claim, he's trying to see her point of view, he's seemingly compliant. He appears to know what she wants and how she should be loved. This is the appeal of the ethos. The speaker seems to understand how relationships work, how much time they can take, and the effort that should be put forth.
The musical words capture the reader as they pull him in with their rapid, lyrical flow.
The first verse begins to explain about the girl's freedom she now feels after her boyfriend leaves her. Without him, she feels the bed warmer. This is contrary to the beliefs to many in that cuddling under a blanket with someone is much warmer than being alone. She also could sleep soundly and "dream in...
