‘Skyscraper’ by Demi Lovato is a song that has empowered me and helped me fight through my toughest battles. The song was not written by Demi herself, but by three other songwriters, and then recorded by Lovato. The songwriters were inspired by an illustration of an imaginary apocalypse, in which one skyscraper was still standing tall, throughout all of the destruction surrounding it. Lovato recorded the track before she entered rehabilitation for an eating disorder, and she called this song her ‘cry for help’, as she was in a dark place whilst first recording the song. The song was released in 2011, after she had left rehabilitation, and contrasts largely with the other songs on the album as they are generally upbeat; however, this song was a focal …show more content…
In this line, Lovato’s vocals are reduced to a quiet whisper, reinforcing the idea that all of her obstacles make her feel small and scared inside. All the obstacles in her life made her feel worn down and this takes over her thoughts, making her always think of herself as weak: ‘Like I’m made of glass, Like I’m made of paper.’ These toxic thoughts eat away at her, and she views herself as easily breakable. In the music video, we see Lovato with a black fabric that symbolizes the toxicity that overtook her mind, and she begins to unravel it as if all the toxicity is flowing out of her, and she is releasing it from her life. In contrast to the previous lyrics of despair and feelings of worthlessness, she goes on to sing about how she is unbroken, which is a powerful motif as her album takes the word as its title. ‘Unbroken’ is an apt name as it relates to show how she has not been completely broken by the circumstances she was in: ‘All the windows, still are

This song talks a lot about the baggage of the past that people hold onto instead of letting it go. All that baggage is only going to end up hurting you more and more instead of helping you in any way possible. An example is the opening
Ariana Grande is one talented singer. The girl has impressed everyone with her spot-on celebrity singing impersonations and has sung with some of the most talented singers still alive today. However, there's still a lot you don't know about this sassy celeb. Here are the top eight most common misconceptions believed about Ariana Grande.
Most don’t know that Demi Lovato’s real name is actually Demetria Lovato. Demi Lovato is a hero for many reasons. Demi was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico on August 20th 1992. Her parents names are Patrick Martin Lovato and Dianna De La Garza. Her father was an engineer and her mother was a former Dallas Cowboy cheerleader. In 1994 her parents divorced and her mom, Demi and her sister moved to Dallas, Texas. There, her mother remarried and Demi gained two half sisters.

In the beginning of the song, If You Don’t Know, the singer is coming to realization that their partner is going to leave them. In the first stanza the lyrics say, “tonight we’re fading fast, I just want to make this last.”. The singer is saying that they want their relationship to continue and that they believe that it is coming to an end quickly.Later, in that same stanza the singer says, “I’d find a way to make you stay. I’d never let you get away.”. Here, the singer is realizing that the person whom they love is leaving. As
The pop music stars that fascinates me… I have many, such as Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato, Austin Mahone, Ariana Grande, and Tori Kelly. But, for today I will go into depth with the male being Justin Bieber and the female being Demi Lovato. Many people wonder, so many times from time and time again what do I see in these artist. Well to be honest, they have a story that made them who they are today, which is a strong, independent, calm, and inspirational person. Take Justin Bieber for instance, many people find him impulsive and immature from the events that have occurred in the past up until now. Everyone knows about the Miami incident that occurred a year and 7 months ago. He’s showing many that he’s taken the consequences with what he did
The main piece of symbolism that carried itself through the music video was a teddy bear that was once only a little girl’s stuffed animal, but later turns into a meaningful and sentimental piece of hope and a sort of light at the end of the tunnel. The teddy bear was first stolen, taunted, and teased with, in the beginning of the video. Fighting back, the little girl was punished and restrained by the teacher. Building up to the second time the teddy bear is shown in the music video, the girl goes through many traumatic situations. When she is looking outside a window to the neighbors house where there are kids playing inside a castle, she immediately ducks down as she is spotted. She doesn’t know she is being alienated and isolated from the kids next door. All she feels is that she is on her own. So as she grows up, she decides to become “herself”, dressed in dark, grim and Goth looking clothes, but is stopped immediately by her mother. She is being influenced that she can’t be her self without the world not accepting her as she is. The excuse for parents when they see their kids going through sudden changes that are actually a sign of depression is that they are kids or teens acting like regular “their age”. Yet, there are many ways depression and other social problems could be treated but there is no one there to notice the problems itself, “Many parents don 't recognize when adolescents are depressed…” (Hosansky para.
Throughout her life, Demi Lovato has fought with many disorders including bulimia nervosa and bipolar disorder. In 2011, she voluntarily checked into a rehab facility to receive treatment for bulimia nervosa; however, the facility’s doctors soon diagnosed her with bipolar disorder, most likely bipolar II disorder. After receiving this diagnosis, Lovato’s struggles in her past made much more sense. As a child, she was frequently bullied, and it was at this point in her life when the depression
The attempts the women tries so to be in vain till the end when it over boils. The women set herself free in the only way she knew how. Sometimes when people are in tight situation, or when their goals are being blocked, they react even when it doesn’t make sense. The women reacted to being closed up and oppressed and, to her family, it didn’t make
Pouring over date and number and talking about election and analysing it- Jennifer Agiesta has been doing this for years and years.Although this might come as a shock for you because before CNN Jennifer worked for the rival company rather the arch rival- Associated Press. Don’t know about the discussions that took place but definitely there were better opportunities and why not afterall that is CNN.

The behavioral perspective focuses on how prior experiences impact later experiences. As mentioned before Lovato’s unhealthy eating habits caused her weight gain which caused the bullying at the young age of 8 (Fox News). The prior experience of bullying led her to find new ways to lose weight. This caused her to become bulimic and anorexic. Lovato quickly became depressed. By age 11 she began self-harm by cutting her wrists. Lovato’s father was an alcoholic. In a 2015 interview with People Magazine Lovato shares, "My father had schizophrenia and bipolar disorder as well, and I watched him live a very unfortunate life because of the lack of access to treatment” (Weisensee). His alcoholism led to the decline of being a positive role model for his daughter. Behaviorism points to no role model in her childhood as another prior experience that may have led to her illness. Lovato modeled her own sporadic behavior after her father. She had no one to look up to in her family therefore no one was there to catch her before she spiraled out of control. Some psychologists would argue Lovato learned the behavior of her father and his bipolar disorder and then tried to mimic the behavior. The learned behavior would be explained by the concept of observational learning. For example, Lovato observed her dad drink a beer after a stressful day so when she experienced tough days she turned to
