A band with a surprising image straight out of the 1960's, Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros was founded on the love formed between Alex Ebert (former Ima Robot front man) and Jade Castrinos (singer in a series of bands) in the late 2000's. This up and coming indie band has an interesting beginning. Starting with the confusing and not so clear cut story of how Alex and Jade met, fell in love, and presumably recorded their 2009 breakout album 'Up From Below'. While they had run into each other several times, they both claim that they did not actually think about dating until meeting on an online dating site. Both in major transitional times of their lives, they clicked instantly and have no shame in claiming their love to one another in their music. 'Home' was their first single off that album, and anyone who is in love is bound to get hooked on their catchy, free love vibes. (Shmoop Editorial Team)
Listening to this song, it is very clear the strong love these two have towards one another. The lyrics 'Home is whenever I am with you' is repeated in 5 lines(14, 16, 33, 35, and 51) ...

American Beauty/American Psycho was an album that was sung by the band Fall Out Boy in 2015. Fall Out Boy is an alternative/indie rock band with a little hint of pop in some of their songs. This album, which is the band’s most recent album, is full of a lot of good songs and songs that maybe some people wouldn’t like. Fall Out Boy is a face-paced band, which means their songs are faced-paced. A lot of their songs could be a little hard to understand for people who don’t listen to this kind of music. The album does not have many of these types of songs, which is why it is a favorite among Fall Out Boy fans.

All music created has some kind of story behind it. It could be a bad story, good story, or even a complicated story. Every artist tells a story in their music that can relate to anyones life. Big Sean’s story on this album, Dark Sky Paradise talks about the bad and the good of paradise. The album has a lot of features from well known artist such as, Drake, Lil Wayne, Jhene Aiko and most importantly Kanye West because he started Sean’s career.
two lovers are so into each other it will be hard to break them apart.
Hip-Hop’s criticism of George W. Bush is a good example of hip-hop’s reflection of Black public opinion. The Republican candidate who already had a low approval rating of 57% amongst African-Americans received an even lower approval rating after his lackluster efforts to support Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina in 2005 (Jones, 2003; Cillizza & Sullivan 2013).
“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.
“We Found Love” is a popular song produced by Calvin Harris and features singer Rihanna. “We Found Love” reached the number one spot in the top charts in multiple countries in 2012 and the music video became popular very quickly after being filmed in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

“Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day?” A few months after the unexpected attack on New York City and Washington D.C, Alan Jackson debuted a new song on November 7, 2001 called “Where Were You.” It was launched only eight weeks after the attack. The song had won a Grammy and multiple country music awards. Ten years prior to his first debut of this song, fans still expect him to perform this song at all of his shows. It was a deep and meaningful tribute to the attack and the memorials of the lives that were lost and the buildings that were destroyed. On September 11, 2001, America was under attack. The World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and possibly the White House were all targets for the attack. Approximately
Thousands of years ago, our ancestors were focused on surviving. Whether that meant from a horrible disease, a lion, or starvation. In today’s world, we happily do not have to worry about those things. We thank modern medicine, separation of dangerous wildlife from our homes, and grocery stores one every corner stocked to the brim. Many things have changed since then, but one thing that has existed since the existence of animals, stress. “Stress can lead to sadness or depression”, and “irritability or anger” (Mayo Clinic). Often people who can not handle stress very well, create a more negative lens of the world. Many of these people express their feelings or emotions through physical activities, and some express it through creating or listening to music. Float On is a song by Modest Mouse, expressing a point to not worrying too much about the negative. It is for people who take life very seriously or are
In order to encompass and fully grasp the meaning and structure of a song, one must be able to analyze the song through different spectrums. For instance, every song is produced differently in order to send out a specific message or stand for a certain issue. At times, when music is produced, it embodies a significant attitude towards its audience in which they are able to sense the quality and atmosphere of the song. This essay will be analyzing the musical, textual, and visual evidence of “Sur ma route” by Black M who is known as one of the top current “rappers” in French popular music.
The song that I choose to do this assignment on is Fight the Power by Public Enemy. Fight the Power was written in 1989 and quickly became a street anthem for millions of youths. It reflects with issues dealing with both the Civil Rights Movement and to remind everyone that they too have Constitutional Rights. This particular song is about empowerment but also fighting the abuse of power that is given to the law enforcement agencies. It gave citizens of the U.S a more modern outlook on the many struggles that not only the African American community is up against but the other minority groups as well. The song’s message was eventually supposed to bring people together and make the world a better place, even though some teens saw it as a way
he says in the last line that, “come live with me and be my love”
In the opening verse of the song, the speaker discusses the need to see her childhood home at least once more before moving on with her life. She shares with the current homeowner some of her experiences while growing up in the house. For instance, she says, “I know they say you can’t go home again, but I just had to come back one last time.” This shows that the speaker realizes that returning “home” is going to be a different experience than it was when she lived there, but she cannot resist the temptation of a final visit to the “house”. The speaker says that “Up those stairs in that little back bedroom, is where I did my homework and learned to play guitar. And I bet you didn’t know, under that live oak, my favorite dog is buried in the yard.” This indicates some of the significant memories the speaker has of her time in the house, such as honing her...
