Analyzing Stan's Song 'From The Inside Out'
Queensland menswear shop employee and the solo signer in church on Sundays. In just under 9 months Stan Walker achieved the almost impossible. The nineteen year old born in Australia, had a rough childhood, with his family moving back and forth from Australia to New Zealand, spending relatively equal periods of his life in both countries. He is of Maori descendent with his heritage being Nga Potiki (Tauranga Tribe). Stan’s childhood was difficult with his father often being abusive which leads him to smoke marijuana and thieving. His family was of average wealth but with constantly moving between countries his family didn’t have a lot of spare change for him and his 5 siblings. This made him nervous going into the industry, knowing that if …show more content…
The single peaked at number 2 on ARIA Charts, and on NZ RIANZ Charts, climbing to number 1 the next week.
In Stan’s second album “From the Inside Out” He has the song that inspired the name of the album “Inside Out”. It’s a striking power house pop moment which sets the tone for the whole album. “There I no need to tell you much about it, because if you listen to the lyrics it explains it for you.” Stan says, deciding to let his music speak for itself. “This is who I am, if you look within/take me as I am, this is all of me,” He sings in the song. Stan Truly expresses himself when the song breaks down half-walk and Stan’s gospel-styled vocals soar to the front with extraordinary resonance.
Also on the album, hit single “Unbroken” sounds even better than before within the context of the album, whilst new songs like “Homesick”, “Stuck in a Box” and “Love Graffiti” gives listeners Stan’s full, wide – ranging vocal experience. His new single “Choose You”, written by Cassie Davis, is a sure – fire sing – along pop anthem that has seen Stan reach new heights and expand his audience with firm radio/ media support and much fan appreciation. “I’d only met Cassie once before at the Aria Awards and we hit off the first time we met but I really didn’t know her that well but I loved the song when I first heard it, and I loved the way she wrote it.

As he realised he was going to the top this influenced him to write songs directed the emotionally vulnerable and tell everyone they can be successful if they just believe. Stan Walker also brought much of the R&B style back into New Zealand and his mixture of pop made it appealing to a wide range of people and cultures.
I believe Stan Walker has had an immensely positive impact on not just New Zealand and Australia, but the whole world’s music industry and this is shown with him already performing with other well-known musicians such as Jessica Mauboy who featured in his song “Galaxy” and Ginny Blackmore in his latest song “Holding You.” His music is very relatable especially for teenagers, with songs on bullying and reaching potential. Many of these songs have really shown teenagers that they can be successful and they could turn out just like Stan, all they have to do is believe in

    Music has been around since the beginning of time. Many artists express themselves by writing songs to convey emotions, tell fictional stories, or to share their own experiences. The human mind attaches many senses and feelings to melodies; they are tied to moments in life. Everyone feels the same emotions even though people are all different and unique. Songs are written about all sorts of feelings such as happiness, sadness, angriness, and sorrow. For example, if a person is having a bad day he can find a song relating to how he is feeling.

    Spawn of the Beats

    • 1399 Words
    • 6 Pages

    The Beat generation of the mid twentieth century produced a culture that had a lasting effect on generations to come. In the decades following the 1950s, the Beats successors, or ‘spawn’, ranged from authors to musicians. These artists were greatly influenced by the Beat’s writings and performances, as well as by spending time with the very Beats themselves. Bob Dylan, a spawn, credited much of his early work to his readings of the Beats and his relationship with Allen Ginsberg. From his appearance, to his very poetic lyrics, Dylan appears to be just like any of the other Beats. However, what separated Dylan was his concern for those suffering around him. Ultimately, although Bob Dylan was very similar to the Beats, it was his passionate, socially conscious lyrics distinguished him.…

    Traditionally, rock was a white man's music genre, but to Jimi Hendrix it was his, and he made sure to make that clear. Moving to Europe, he made sure his music could be more popularized and well-known.(Bio.com Editors) To many, it was a surprise that Hendrix was black. In fact, some people who heard some of his new music, thought that it was a “black knock off” of Jimi Hendrix. (Amber) Working with people such as Paul McCartney from the Beatles, he was able to become the greatest artists of all time.…

    “I was so sure this was real but/ Now I’m sure of nothing at all/ I had to shatter the pieces/ That made me reveal myself,” she sings in an incredible pre-chorus/chorus transition. “Say You Love Me,” my personal favorite track on the album, is a telling sign that Jessie Ware can write a universal song that you can take in a multitude of directions. The song has a sad tonal quality, but it unfolds into a triumphant embrace, completed with a choir set to the beat of handclaps. One of the best aspects of her music is when she slightly alters the pitch of her voice or changes the pacing of a tune to add emphasis to her words in order to emotionalize them.…

    Song Analysis

    The song that I chose to analyze is “Changes” by Tupac Shakur. The late Tupac Shakur was an African American rapper who was shot dead years ago. His powerful lyrics have impacted the rap industry to this day, because he spoke the truth. His lyrics directly related to his everyday struggles, and how being a successful African American is not an easy task to achieve. Rap usually talks about events of everyday life, and the song “Changes” talks about racial profiling, poverty, and how racism affects the everyday life of African American people. Note that this song came out in about 1996 where things were different, however the lyrics of this song still ring in the ears of people who are affected by the evil of racism.…

    Born Stephanie Lynn Nicks, Stevie, as she’s known has become famous in the world of rock n’ roll music not only as the lead singer of Fleetwood Mac, but as solo artist as well. To some there is a great deal of mystery that revolves around her, but I beg to differ. The only one would have to do is listen to her extensive catalogue of songs, that majority of them penned by her, which explains in great detail the certain stages of her life and the life of those closest to her. If her genre of music isn’t your cup of tea, then reading her lyrics which is sometimes written in prose, will take you on this never ending journey of high, and lows. On a journey that’s narrated not by one of the world’s most famous and icon rock stars, but on a journey…

    Lieder ohne Worte (Song without Words) is written by the Romantic composer Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. It is a collection of forty-eight short lyrical piano pieces of markedly song-like character that he wrote at various periods of his life between 1809 and 1847. They are well suited to the study of musical form because of their artistic value. Op. 19b, No. 1 Andante con moto in E major was written in 1830 and is the first in the collection. The piece is in the key of E major and modulates from E to B to G major.…
