40 Degrees – it is a history of a great love that condemn to destruction. Two people are walking on the ice holding hands, remembering the past moments of life. They decided to take a picture, and suddenly he falls down under the ice. She began to scream and cry and call him back, but he went under the water. All this can be seen in the music video of Svetlana Loboda named “40 Degrees.” 40 Degrees was filmed in the best traditions of Nordic cinema, and can safely initiate a new genre called dramatic thriller. Video filming took place in Iceland. Especially for filming the singer took lessons of choreography and lessons of the cello. According to the article “Biography and news Svetlana Loboda,” she is not only a singer, but also a TV presenter, …show more content…
Music video makes sense and at the same time accompanied by deserving words. From the beginning of the song it is understandable that she begs her mom not let go and keep her tight. “Hold me stronger mom, I’m so drunk/ I drank all of his unearthly words/Hold me tonight, mom, I am so sick, One glance of his makes me run out… (Loboda). While watching a video and simultaneously listening to the words one sees a different picture, the audience can see solid glaciers and an exhausted singer that barely moves her feet. She recalls moments with her boyfriend. These moments are very similar to a close relationship. They hug each other. They laugh together, and he teaches her lessons of choreography. He carries her in his arms and whirls with her. One more example shows that lyrics and the music video are completely different but have one meaning and one idea. “I like, I like him so much/ I like him, I’m out of my mind/ Mom, he is at least 40 degrees hot/ I’m squeezed to the maximum” (Loboda). At the same time, in music video, this couple decided to take a picture, and he suddenly falls down under the ice. The singer starts to cry, and she seemed exhausted .It was the cry of a loved one. In general there are two types of songs: Some of them are sung smoothly just looking to perform, while another type will reach the listener with emotion. This song relates exactly to the second type; it …show more content…
It causes the feeling that suddenly something would happen. The cello plays a leading role, and its sounds cause sadness. To the middle of the song the music sounds are getting softer, but exciting. At the time, when he fell under the ice, it was the greatest culmination of the music. There is a feeling that all musical instruments boost the meaning of the awful circumstances. The cello in union with electronic arrangement creates excitement. This mixture gave the feeling of sadness, because the cello sounds angry. The constant weaving of the cello makes the audience hold on the emotions.. Here in the song listener also can hear a piano and guitar too. The strings convey all her pain and sorrow by him. In accompaniment with the piano it sounded more dramatic and conveyed the mood of the singer and the song in general. When lyrics and music arrangement are discussed emotion as a one more element that can be disputed
The piano is what sets the mood of the whole piece, the beginning starts off slow and gloomy sounding, then the vocalist begins to sing and confirms that this song is going to be unhappy. Although the song is gloomy sounding, I still like it, the piano has a pleasant melody and it is calming. It sounds like a song that should be played in a movie when a loved one dies and everyone’s moored at a funeral.
The whole music video is in remembrance of the little girl Aiyana Jones and to show its audience the injustice it served in America (Alexis 5). The music video does not focus on the lyrics, but focuses on a whole different story. Although the music video is about the war between the government and drugs, the lyrics and the music video share a mutual message and that is to seek peace not only in the community, but also in our minds. Today, there have been issues on police brutality and unlawful arrests. This music video really illustrated different point of views of different people such as the victim and the policemen. Although the music video displayed a different message, the lyrics also provided a great message to people especially young women. Both music video and lyrics
This part of the video persuades the audience to trust that the singer knows what it is like to be under stress from
The title of the song, “Cooling,” may seem superficially simple, but through analysis of the song, one realizes that “cooling” represents life, death, and everything in between.
The music and sound effects are in the same pont with what the author nedded to say in that play. In the smok and sword fight on the first act we thought will be a play where every body is confusing and fight each other. The phone ringing all the time and this help the actors to play around in the hury and action come up with rehearsal process. The purposes of the phone is any time we heart that something is going to happen, so we expectin to change the sequence in the play. Ringing the phone open a problem, hanging up the phone close the problem. Opening and shoutting the door of dressing room as a slamming it create for the audience understanding the flow of the show and leaves the flexibility as we see white and black to the performance. Crying with tears make the player dramatic, but afraid of discover which it trying to keep things together laughting and
If we just simply look at the video from a viewer’s perspective, we will just see a poor farmer boy falling in love with a rich and powerful girl. We must look further than just the basic of the video and pay attention to the behind the scenes meanings of each image and object. In the last couple of seconds of the video, we see Nintuda preparing the time and place for where Hunabatum and Kullasina-Bel will meet to confess their love for each other. She prepares a nice rug on the floor of a room in the Ziggurat. This represents the bridal sheet and represents the high priestess preparing the holy bed where Dumuzi and Inanna come together. When Kullasina-Bel makes his way to the temple, he is carrying with him Billy the Goat to take as an offering to Hunabatum. This is one of the most powerful scenes in the video because it depicts exactly when King Dumuzi brings many offerings to Queen Inanna to prove that he is worthy of her. Once Hunabatum and Kullasina-Bel meet, there is an instant energy that rejoices their hearts and makes them fall in love with each other. Just as the music video ends, we hear two last lines of the song which utter “Let it flow from eat to mouth, Hunabatum and Kullasina-Bel kiss sensually with no doubt” (Hymns 36). This last clip seals the theme of the video as a scared union between both Hunabatum and Kullasina-Bel as they follow the same foundations of Dumuzi and Inanna and where they
“Don’t do Sadness/Blue Wind” is one of the most complex songs in Spring Awakening, with many metaphors and hidden meanings in its lyrics. The lyrics of “Don’t Do Sadness/Blue Wind” contain references to some of the most important and prominent metaphors and symbols in the musical. They reference the destructive wind metaphor, they show the disconnect between the Moritz that is seen in public and the real Moritz, and show how Ilse is a symbol of hope for many of the other children.
Music has a way of bringing out our emotions. We say that there are moods of music, and we know which songs make us happy and which make us sad. But music also connects with us intellectually through the lyrics and what we understand them to mean. Thus, music becomes a way to link aspects of intellectual and emotional life – to combine thought and feeling. In the novel Porgy, we see music used as a tool to do just that; music, whether sung, imitated, or described metaphorically, is used, among other things, to link mental and emotional states.
...nd the narrator supports him by listening to the music which seems to provide solace for suffering souls. This shows a new bond that has been created.
The man feels abandoned in a corner and he drinks for the sadness he feels. While drinking, he tells himself I do not understand why you left me, if I know she loved me, so if you ever regret your decision he will be waiting for you. Basically, the man feels broken emotionally because the women he loved, left him for no reason. This song to me is not a dancing song, however the song is more about remembering your ex-wife, ex-girlfriend or ex husband and ex-boyfriend. For me personally, this song reminds me of drinking, the title literally means bitter shots of liquor. The way the song shares the hurt the man feels by the women that left him. I could almost picture a man sitting at a bar drinking to his ex saying, “I’m drinking because of you, you caused this”. I could picture that scene in my head because I have seen my friends in Mexico and my cousins in Mexico do
The instrumentation relies on string accompaniment, which is common in Baroque pieces. Additionally, this helps to support the emotive nature of the piece as the mechanics of string instruments are very similar to the mechanics of the human voice; thus, strings can mimic human expressions like sighing and weeping. For example, in measure 8, the 9-8 suspension in the second violin part seems to indicate tension. When this is combined with the voice-like timbre of the instrument and the falling, melismatic line within the melody, it reflects a human’s sobbing. The ensemble is also intimate, involving only five voices, and this seems appropriate for the emotional but private message within the lyrics.
We have more or less gender stereotype and create our own set of standards how men and women are supposed to behave. The music video delivers a weird impression that something is wrong with the story because the characters in the video are acting opposite from society’s expectations of gender stereotype. The video portrays a couple’s normal daily life, which may have been seen everywhere, and it’s nothing special except that the perspectives of males and females are opposite from what we would expect. The main cast includes Beyoncé as a wife who is a police officer and Eddie Goines as her supportive husband who works at an office. In the video, the storyline is slightly twisted because Beyoncé
When the plays begins, we are introduced to the “Blue Piano”. It represents the spirit of life (page 3) in the setting. We see the music have a great impact during Stella’s and Blanche’s conversation about Belle Reve. When the music gets louder, the conversation intensifies after Stella asks what happened to Belle Reve, causing Blanche to show her sadness to the fullest about losing Belle Reve and experiencing the deaths in the

DeNora introduced the concept of “aesthetic reflexivity” which explains why a person values the comfort as well as love (DeNora, 1999). The song I chose, according to my own opinion brings peace and harmony and on the basis of DeNora’s concept, music is simply a referentialist tool. People constantly utilize music as one of the major means of self-expression for representing who they actually are. According to DeNora, “One of the first things music does is to help actors to shift mood or energy level…‘care of self”. Here music simply becomes self-regula...
