    ...the lyrics’ meaning and interpret them differently; she may just be attracted to the song and its musical components, Prince as an artist or because her peers like it. However, if she were to be influenced by the lyrics, Prince and his image, with emphasis from peers becoming more sexually aware, the sexual references may start becoming apparent. This may promote her in maturing faster, thereby missing out on important childhood experiences that ensure a stable adulthood. The mother should be aware of these changes in attitudes toward sex, be open and accepting enough to guide her daughter so she does not grow up too naïve or mature too fast.

  • Lorde of Hip-Pop

    649 Words  | 2 Pages

    “Royals,” which is a song that breaks down “Pop-Culture,” features Lorde explaining the repetitive themes present in today’s popular music, by singing, “Every song’s like Gold teeth, Grey Goose, tripping in the bathroom, bloodstains, ball gowns, trashing the hotel room,” (Yelich-O'Connor, Royals) and how she has no interest in the lavish lifestyle that a number of famous people possess. A fun mockery of the sorts, apparent in her lyrics is backed by a catchy beat, made evident by the sound of fingers snapping in the background. Moreover, the beat is what completely lures me into the song. What I most enjoy is the vocal harmonization that is introduced in the chorus, giving it the chance to stand out from the rest of the song. Overall, I gathered a fun and happy vibe from this tune. From analyzing this song, it has given me a chance to get inside her mind and understand how she feels about “Pop-Culture,” and being a part of it, as well.

  • Let Her Go Hyperbole

    506 Words  | 2 Pages

    The song “Let Her Go” is written by Passenger and contains a number of literary devices which help the song convey it’s message. A fraction of the devices used in this song are Hyperbole, Metaphor and Personification. A hyperbole is an exaggerated statement which most commonly refers to something else. Hyperboles are used in songs and poems to help enhance the piece. Hyperboles exaggerate the statement to such a point that it really makes an impact on the audience. One demonstration of this in the song is the lyric “Everything you touch, oh it dies.” (Line 13) This lyric is hugely exaggerated to help convey the message of the song. The lyric, in its literal

  • Babymetal Stereotypes

    1585 Words  | 4 Pages

    This song really brought the band to the front lines for a lot of their audience. In the music video recorded for the song, the visual appearance that goes with the music does not seem like the typical music one would expect from a Japanese pop and heavy metal band, but seems expected from these three young women in Babymetal. The way their music transitions from head-banging music to idealistic pop style music is intriguing at the least. They have an ability to draw in multiple audiences. The biggest question that seems to arise from all of the work that Babymetal does, is why they play the music they do. Throughout the research, there seemed to be a lack of criticism, but a large array of people who voiced opinions about why they did like the band, and most people claimed it was because of the way they sung, the music they played, and the amount of energy they put into every
