The band Summer Camp presents a vivid music video for their song “Fresh”, released August 6, 2013, about first love. The songwriter and speaker, Elizabeth Sankey, recalls her teenage years of falling in love through her lyrics in a reminiscing and narrative tone. Her partner,Jeremy Warmsley, joins her as she expresses her emotions with background vocals and guitar playing. She was the typical dreamy-eyed teenage girl who wished for the fairy tale love. However, she was left heartbroken and disoriented. Summer Camp’s musical audience is guided towards the modern young adult “hipsters” who are nostalgic for the 80’s and 90’s lifestyle. Elizabeth assumes that her audience has gone through a heartbreak and tries to instill her opinion of the difficulties of getting over your first love. She hopes to gain an emotional connection with the listeners by speaking for all the broken hearted individuals who need to express their feelings.
Elizabeth is seen wearing a pearl-white suit throughout the whole video. Society commonly represents white as a color of purity

She delivers a paradox, “no heartbreak has ever been as good…” to describe her aching heart after losing her first love. Heartbreak is never pleasant and it’s almost as if she's romanticising it by calling it something “good”. This also contains some irony due to the fact that she continues the song by singing about how hurt she was, yet she still craved the feeling of love. She includes that her “heart was black and blue” to illustrate how her heart was dark and bruised. Bruises are fragile, just like her heart was left. It relates to the audience by allowing them to ruminate about the happy memories of their relationship, but how that specific heartbreak left them empty and frail. The first heartbreak is always the hardest to get through, but it’s the most memorable when looked back
As Rob’s Dad gets to hear everything that Rob was trying to hold in, from the loss of his Mom. His Dad understands and has the same problem holding back his emotions of the loss of his wife, and how it impacts Robs
The first song I want to use choose to represent me is called “Gravity”, by NBA Youngboy. I chose this song because I can relate to some of the things he said in the song. For example, when I had my car sometimes I would just go riding around Lake Village by myself late at night to think about things going on in my life. Sometimes I would stop at the lake and just look at the water because of how peaceful it is. This song can just put me in my right mind and calm me down.
...ch we see her admit in lines 18-19. She says “the art of losing’s not too hard to master though it may look like (Write It!) disaster”, she admits to herself that she has to write it because it is so true. Losing someone is difficult and probably the worst lose which is why she left it for last. Like the other loses though we need to realize life will go on and we can’t hold on forever. Sometimes it is better to let go a little so we don’t lose more in the end.
On the second stanza, the woman was haunted by the voices of her child in her mind. She said that under the circumstance she is right now, she has no choice but to have a abortion. Then she express her feeling and felt sorry about what she had done. “And your lives from your unfinished reach, If I stole your births and your names, Your straight baby tears and your games” (Gwendolyn Brooks) she show remorse that she stolen her child life and her child would get to experience the first tear and games. So now her baby already going through death.
“Over There” is a song written by George M. Cohan in 1917. Nora Bayes, Enrico Caruso, Billy Murray, Arthur Fields, and Charles King were among many who recorded the song. It was written as a propaganda piece encouraging young American men to join the army to fight in World War I. The song was incredibly popular, selling over two million copies of sheet music and one million copies of recordings by the end of the war. Cohan, the writer, was eventually even awarded a Congressional Medal of Honor for his work on this song.
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
It is quite amazing how well the author paints pictures with her words. Like I have stated before, the factor of its relatability of the whole theme of the book helps quite a lot but, overall through Kaur’s powerful use of words, she reminds you of your first heartbreak and exactly how you felt about it. It is almost like a gift and a curse at the same time. She made me feel like I was sixteen again. Like I had my heart broken all over again.
For example, the movie is about a girl named Mia aims to be an actress, and during that process, she met Sebastian, a jazz musician, who later became her boyfriend. But as time went on, they fell apart, but met again at a bar that he founded, and they both left with a smile. (Chazelle). This shows that even after a breakup, that doesn’t mean you should stop seeing each other or become friends. This means that they both were in love with each other, but their careers got in the way, which made them split up. Another example from the movie can be when Sebastian appeared after Mia’s big debut and she finally said that everything is over between them. (Chazelle). This exemplifies that it is best to take off some time for loved ones before it becomes a burden. This displays that is Sebastian would have come earlier, he should have saved his relationship with Mia. And finally, the theme is also shown when after 4 years, she arrives at a bar with her husband and didn’t notice it was Sebastian’s bar until they met eyes. (Chazelle). This demonstrates that people who were former lovers can still find each other in weird locations at weird times. This exhibits that Mia wasn’t intending to enter Sebastian’s bar, it happened in a coincidence. Therefore, the theme, express those certain feelings before it’s too late, is shown in the movie, La La
“The world is beating you down, I’m around through every mood / You’re my downfall, you’re my muse / My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues / I can’t stop singing, it’s ringing, in my head for you.” She brings him down but also inspires him at the same time. He can’t stop thinking about her.
Her song is about her feelings of sadness that come around the ending summer; The main theme is about Lana and her summertime sweetheart having to part ways by summers end and her emotions of when that last encounter occurs. Summer romances are always short and fun, but ending the summer relationship is always a bit saddening and depressing. Although I personally do not relate with a romantic experience from this past summer, the feelings she describes in the song whe...
Except in the thanksgiving scene which was almost the last, the characters had come together in some relationships and drifted apart in others. But taken as a whole this film manages to bring out one of the most important feelings in life, love, whilst exploring feelings of jealousy, confusion, rivalry, hope, sadness and loneliness on the way. Although there was limited hope for the characters to come together in the end, they did, it was in the vulnerability and tenderness of it all that love emerged.
"Fun" is an American indie pop band formed by Nate Ruess in 2008. Since then they have released two albums, Aim and Ignite in 2009 and Some Nights in 2012. Both of these albums were both financially successful because of their deep and meaningful lyrics that Nate himself wrote. Their song, “Some Nights”, was released on June 4, 2012 as part of the album with the same name.
in the first line of this stanza when she says “ I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide” i believe whats she is trying to explain is that she feels powerful just like the ocean and she can surfaces the earth feeling capable of defeating all her difficulties. Her use of metaphor was expressed very effectively because it allows us to understand her pain and it also allows us to acknowledge why she is writing this poem. She does not want someones words to break us and wants us to understand that we are in charge of our own happiness.
... was meant to serve as insight as to how Brooks used the tone to create a mood that was inconsistent with an overlying theme of self-pity. She has a way with words, and I feel that this ballad is very representative of her skill as a writer.
This song is an excellent example of the empowerment women and men may need occasionally. When someone is faced with a painful situation, people basically show two kinds of reaction: giving up or struggling. Those who decide to give up will usually keep complaining and blaming others for the situation they face. In contrast, those who decide to struggle, even though initially show almost the same reactions as the first group of people, they will finally choose to look at the good side of the situation they face. The process of being down, looking for the positives, and avoiding negative thoughts or feelings may be difficult but could ultimately result in the greatest gift of all, happiness.
