I don't know if any one else noticed, but SUMMER is OVER. I know you are probably hugging your tub of ice cream and crying, it is okay. but to the real deal stuff today i am going to take a few minutes to look back at songs that i either loved, or hated this summer. So let's start with my hates, because I hate lots of things! My number one hate would have to be "Shut up and Dance" by Walk the Moon. Don't hate me I love Walk the Moon like i know most of their songs, but this one just gets on my last nerve. It never stops playing on the radio. Another song I hate is "I Can't Feel My Face" by the Weekend. It's just really weird sounding to me, and also why can't he feel his face? Just wondering. Okay so the only other songs I didn't like this …show more content…
I know that was a ton of lyrics, but this is a really great song and go listen to it. Right now! JUST DO IT! Okay my number three is "Harlem" by New politics. This song is seriously awesome. Even though I can't dance this is the kind of song I dance to. The lyrics are not really important either, this song is just really cool, and if you have the chance LISTEN TO IT! Now number four is "Greek Tragedy" by The Wombats. I know what you are thinking. The Wombats? Yes it is a real band, and yes they are really good. This song is not really telling a story, but it is really interesting. the best line in it, in my opinion, would have to be "It's wrong, but surely worst to leave And she hits like ecstasy So free up the cheaper seats Here comes the Greek Tragedy". This song may be slightly suggestive to certain things so if that makes you uncomfortable i wouldn't suggest listening to it. Now number five! "Two Heads" by Coleman Hell is a folksy song that is truly amazing. It has some hardcore banjo, and I love the lyrics. I will physically cry if this song gets popular. THE TEARS WILL FALL. I am challenging any one who reads this, go listen to this right now and try to tell me it is awful. I doubt you
love you", "I hate you" lyrics filling up the airwaves. Rather than simply saying "I want to be
Also the songs are both catchy and familiar to the viewer and they can sing along. The first song is ‘look at me now’ and it is telling the viewers to both look the Peter Dinklage and more importantly look at the new Doritos flavor that they are introducing. The second song is ‘Get Ur Freak On’ and it’s telling the viewers don’t be afraid to try something new and experiment with bold flavors.
The song I chose is called “Juicy” by Biggie Smalls, the title seems misleading but it actually related to the song because the melody was taken from another song called juicy fruit. It could have more of a meaning that he had some information or story that he wanted to tell because juicy could also mean secret or interesting, telling people how he grew up on the streets as Christopher Wallace. The main topic of the song is biggie talking about how people doubted him and how he grew up on the streets as a poor kid. He talks about how his life has changed and how he had nothing to having everything. When I first heard the song I thought it had a good beat and the lyrics flowed together, even if you do not really listen to the words the first time it is still a catchy song. The song also makes you understand how he grew up on the streets not having much and turning his life “from negative to positive” as he says in this song.
I chose to analyze the song "American Idiot" by Green Day. American Idiot derived from the American Idiot album released back in 2004. Billie Joe Armstrong, frontman of the band Green Day, and composer of American Idiot. I personally enjoyed the song by the catchy punk rock beat, but after listening to the lyrics my mind quickly opened on political issues, and how the presidency of George W. Bush era was like. Therefore, out of all the songs I have listened in the past I picked American Idiot, because the message behind the song is fairly ironic and true during that time period. I do have respect for the performer, Armstrong - he lost his mother as a young boy, and he subsisted the loss of his mother through music. Eventually, he formed a band
I choose the song “Rude” because I thought it fit the book well. This song represents Hester Prynne from the book since Hester had committed a sinful act and was punished by wearing the scarlet letter for the rest of her life. This song mostly represents the townspeople calling or making mean comments toward Hester especially during the scaffold scene. The lyrics I choose out of the song Why you gotta be so rude? Don't you know I'm human too Why
As generation X (people ages 39-53) grows old, the rock culture fades with them. The song I chose is Symphony of Destruction by Megadeth. Megadeth was established in 1983, by Dave Mustaine and David Elleson. Mustaine himself, is not affiliated with a religion, and wanted to start a band where he could incorporate his ideas against organized religion and Tyranny.
Although there are some tracks that are more bearable than others, there are also tracks that are difficult for the listener. The track Dali’s Car is one of the easier pieces to listen to, and it was the first song composed for the album. “Two guitars lock together in almost Baroque formality but the tone is unremittingly harsh” describes the guitar lines in this instrumental track. The track also shares similarities to the Stravinsky piece Symphonies of Wind Instruments, the piece pivots around a few notes, within an odd time signature. Although still atonal and not rhythmically straight forward, the track does have some tonality and after a few listens it becomes familiar. Immediately when I listened to this track it reminded me of Cliff Burton, Metallica’s original bassist, he demonstrated a similar playing style on bass (specifically in the song Orion). Another track found in the tonal area is China Pig, which remains tonal for the majority of the piece. It sounds like the remnant of an old blues, just with a guitar (played by former Magic Band member Doug Moon) playing and Van Vilet singing over top, in time-- for the most part. Those are the easiest pieces to listen to on this entire album, in my opinion. Although the majority of the tracks are very challenging to listen to, it makes the listener want to listen more: “Their impact on the listener is fresh and shocking because they don’t quench a thirst, they build an appetite”. I found that this quote is the best way to describe my experience of this album. There were a few standout tracks on the album, and they gained my attention for various reasons. The first acapella track The Dust Blows Forward n’ the Dust Blows Back grabbed my attention, comparatively to the musical barrage that is Frownland, the lack of instruments intrigued me. The clipping of the track is
The former is probably the most upbeat song on the entire album, as the track opens with a twinkly-jam influenced rhythmic riff. The tone that is set carries through the rest of the track and the catchy guitar melodies are complimented with Kinsella’s now more urgent, passionate vocals. The faux-bridge after the first two minutes of the track turns into an instrumental, math rock influenced sound the band is classically known for. The closing track, however, might be the pinnacle of the entire album. The lyrical content touched summarizes the overarching themes perfectly, “wild nights when we were younger, we thought we’d live forever, at least we’ll die together”. The track also jams in all the elements American Football is loved for; melodic trumpet lines, soaring melodies, subdued yet fluttering guitars, and a peaceful fade out ending. With the soft yet abrupt ending to the album you are beckoned to listen again as if the nostalgic drenched atmosphere was an addictive
Before I start, let me say that I accidentally decided to make my theme song choice requirements needlessly complicated. To encompass the year, not only did the lyrics have to fit, but I had to have heard it before—multiple times—and I had to have some sort of spiritual connection with the artist. Why? I don’t know. Perfectionism? No matter. Luckily, after debating using “I’m Breaking Down” from Falsettos (it wasn’t really enough to say more than “I’m really tired” and “I’m having a breakdown”, and didn’t really encapsulate my year), I decided to go with “On the Borderline” by Thomas Sanders. It fit practically perfectly in every way. For one, this song is about changing, and the fear of being unrecognizable to those you love. Also, I’d heard the song many times, fell in love with it instantly, and followed the artist, Thomas Sanders, religiously throughout the year, as he is a YouTuber whose music and skits I enjoy. Now, all that needed to happen was the analyzing.
“Music is the key,” says Morrissey, who at this point of his life was attending a school with an abusive education system. He says this when he watches his teacher and fellow classmates finally smile while a song was being played. Furthermore, music is the key that can unlock the feelings we keep private. Three inspiring songs to come across are: Creep by Radiohead, Voices Carry by ‘Til Tuesday, and Dog Days Are Over by Florence + the Machine. Many people have experienced the feelings presented in each song: feeling like and outcast, wanting to be heard, and realizing that life moves forward.
It can't be denied – Taylor Swift is a cultural phenomenon. Considering she's arguably the most popular pop star in the world at this moment, it's hardly a surprise that her every move is under close scrutiny by fans and critics alike. Being under constant surveillance is not exactly easy, and we can sympathize with that. However, when it comes to her actual songs, you can't deny Taylor has had some missteps along the way to super-stardom. Here is a list of 5 worst songs by Taylor Swift and why we hate them:
The first some on my album is Always Dirty Never Clean by Anarbor. Two years ago I went to my first warped tour. There are hundreds of bands and THOUSANDS of people. It was also my first general admission concert and it was completely insane, but I loved it. The first band I saw was Anarbor and the last song was Always Dirty Never Clean and it has stuck with me ever since. Whenever I listen to it, it takes me back to that exact moment. I was so happy, the people around me were happy; it was a pure bliss moment; pretty much something you see in dreams and if I could relive it everyday of my life I would. My next song is, Waking Up by PVRIS. I love this band, I love their lyrics but this is by far my favorite song. I connect to the lyrics, it's a bit sad but for some reason it makes me happy. They have a creepy
Ever since I was a small child, I have loved music. The strong, steady beats, the
The song I have chosen was Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. It was written for their 1975 album A Night at the Opera by Freddie Mercury. I have chosen this song for various reasons. The first was the lack of repetition compared to other songs. First it is an older song that many people have heard but never really understood. Second, the song title even means a man who lives an unconventional lifestyle in a freeform musical composition. The song’s narrator was a person who lived an unusual lifestyle that ultimately led to his demise.
At the age of ten, my parents decided that I should learn how to play an instrument. In addition, they also chose which instrument I should learn, the guitar. I had no interest in learning the guitar, because all I wanted to spend my leisure time on was improvising my soccer skills. However, my parents believed soccer was a waste of my precious time, time which I should be using to focus on school and expanding my brain by taking on a difficult task, such as learning to play music. This was contrary to what I believed, but I had to do it or else my parents would be displeased. Therefore, the following week, I began taking guitar lessons.
