Guns N Roses: Song Analysis
This essay will be a very memorable one as it was based on music and analyzing it. I chose the song “Civil War” by one of my favorite bands, Guns N’ Roses. Analyzing the song was very interesting as I had listened to it several times but I never paid that much attention to every word sung, until now. Therefore, I understood more about the song and made me figure out a deeper meaning that I never knew was there. At the beginning of writing the assignment it was fairly challenging but as soon as I realized where I wanted to go with this essay it gradually became easier. I hope that more essays to come incorporate music as it was almost motivating to do solely based on the reason that it was songs and bands that one appreciates.

    American Sniper Summative Essay

    The book I chose for the summative essay assignment was “American Sniper” by Chris Kyle. This book is about the courageous and thrilling memoir of the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history. With over 100 documented kills during his four tours of duty, Chris Kyle has shed light on the dangerous brave life of a sniper. During his four tours of duty in the Iraq war he has come close to death and saved countless lives. He changed a lot from just being a country boy and became what he describes as a man. The war really changed his perspective on his civilian life. The significance of the Iraq war was to help free the Iraqi civilians of their dictator, Saddam Hussein, and the radical Islamic insurgents who terrorized the Iraqi’s after the fall of Saddam Hussein.…

    Wilco Song Analysis

    Saunders statement on the impact of Wilco song reflects his own values from his fiction by allowing him to relate his fictional stories to what people go through everyday. For Saunders, the song brings out the better in him, he feel like every type of situation has a solution. Even in the most conflicted scenario people are able or have the option to put aside their differences and workout their differences. Saunders writing style also includes writing things indirectly by giving out clues of what might be going on in a characters mind or even a scenario in the story, but he doesn’t tell his readers the problem directly. He allows his readers to process the information, take guesses and allows them to figure out things on their own as the…

    Imagine Dragons Song Analysis Essay

    After I annotated this song and actually looked into what the lyrics were saying I learned that not everyone is who you think they are. For instance, you hide a lot of things from people not because you want to ,but because you don’t know how to tell them or maybe you’re afraid of what they will think of you. In the song ‘Demons’ by Imagine Dragons the singer says,”I wanna hide the truth’(Imagine dragons line 8 box 3) ,but then he says,” don’t want to hide the truth.”( Imagine Dragons line 35 box 8) I think that he is having mixed feelings what he should do. He is afraid that if he tells you that you may leave him or you won’t look at him the same way ever again.…

    Song Analysis

    “Talking shit about a pretty sunset,” is a song that portrays an overall apathetic outlook on life. The listener can clearly hear the discontent expressed in the words sung and the execution in the music. Thoughts of suicide, phobia of commitment, lack and gain of motivation, fixation and illusions of a better life are all present. Through the complex breaks and climax of the song, tells an emotional story of revelation, realization and self-actualization.…

    Lieder ohne Worte (Song without Words) is written by the Romantic composer Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy.

    Music dates back in time beyond one's imagination, but gradually expand into something bigger and intellectual. People listen to music, but underestimate the true power and influences it could have on others. In today's time artist uses music as a way to send a message out into the world expressing ideas, emotions, and in many cases stories.“Music can change lives, whether you are having a good or bad day, the power of music can change one’s mood” (Jess Bowen).

    Bon Jovi: Music Analysis

    I would describe the general musical style of Bon Jovi as a mix of pop and hard rock. Overall, the band’s iconic songs contain a very a great uplifting beat, and are mixed with the unforgettable rough vocals of Jon Bon Jovi. The reason that I believe that Bon Jovi represents the sub genre of hard rock. The reason for this is because the band Bon Jovi uses instruments to create a nice, steady, beat, and the electric guitar provides a distorted sound mixed with Jon Bon Jovi’s raspy harsh vocals. In songs like “Bad Medicine”, most of the vocals are not technically being sung, instead Jon Bon Jovi screams the chorus, which heightens the overall feel of the music. But then there are songs like “Always,” which is a more smooth and ballad like piece. Finally, add to the mix songs like “Livin on a Prayer” and “It’s My Life,” with its great beat, vocals, and overall emotional feel, and you’ll the talented whirlwind that is Bon Jovi.…
