Music comes in many shaped and sizes, not literally of course, but metaphorically. There is a plethora of genres for every music lover from classical, jazz, and blues to country, rock and pop. The noticeable differences are of course their sounds, melodies, and instruments used. Their similarities are that each tells a story, some more intense than others, and they all leave us feeling some sort of emotions whether they be happy or sad. Some of the greatest artists left deep impressions on the era of their music and those impressions last a lifetime and lifetimes after that. This paper will introduce such artists…
Bruce Springsteen hides the message he wants to get across by having an upbeat song that repeats “Born in the U.S.A.”. With the rollicking rhythm, enthusiastic chorus, and patriotic album cover, it is easy to think this has more to do with American pride than Vietnam shame. He gets the real message across in his music video. The camera is focused on his mouth and for me it made me listen to the truth behind the lyrics not just the upbeat rhythm of the song. Another way Springsteen gets his message across is the clips he used in the music video. The clips made you think of the hidden message Springsteen was trying to show.…
For my song I picked Garth Brooks “The River.” I consider this song to be very meaningful. This song is about chasing your dreams and never giving up on what you believe in, reminding us that life is shorter than we think and if we just stand on the shore watching the river go by, then life will be gone before we know it. Garth Brooks uses a lot of psychological concepts in this song, such as, Attitude, Affect, Motivation, Optimism, and Behavior. Garth Brooks says, “A dream is like a river.” A dream changes, just like a river changes. As life changes, the river can be calm then strong then calm again, so our path in life change. Garth Brooks says that “He will sail his vessel until the river runs dry.” To me this mean no matter what life throws…
Dick Clark once said, ¨Music is the soundtrack of your life.¨ Music is one of the most powerful and influential things in my life. Without the melodies and harmonies of music, my life would feel bland and meaningless. I have a very busy schedule and sometimes it is too easy to lose meaning in my everyday tasks, but with music I am able to keep meaning in my life. I use music to get me through the activities of my everyday life. Whether it is cleaning my room, doing homework, or just relaxing, music makes everything better. I think that music can convey feelings and emotions extraordinarily well. When words cannot do the job, music can. Along with that, I think that music accompanies memories very well also. Going back to Dick Clark’s quote, I think I would be able to make a timeline of my life just using song titles, albums, and…
As a little girl I wanted to be just like Hannah Montana. As I got older, I wanted to be like Rachel Berry, a small town girl living out a big town dream. I wanted to be looked up to because of my musical talent. Walking into Mrs. Kaiser's 7th hour, 8th grade band, I didn't know that music would have such an impact in my life. Music has become the spark of my intellectual curiosity. There are millions of combinations of key signatures, chords, melodies and rhythm in the world of music just waiting to become attached to a sheet of staff lines and spaces. Ever since my first experience with music in the fourth grade, my mind began to explore all these combinations of problems. Music helped me with math, english and gave me a place to escape when I was put into undesirable situations. In Middle…
In some way music shows who you are in some way, shape, or form, just like in, The Hobbit, where you can find out what a character is like from hearing their very own music. The dwarves made you want to go somewhere, with their in detail perspectives of the mountains. Then the elves, who seemed to be upbeat most of the time, but did everything they could to show hate to the dwarves and their beards. After that you run into the all so evil goblins, who despised absolutely everyone but their own kind, and sang about how they would traumatise…
If my life were a soundtrack, then on December 5, 2001, at 4:38 am, the first song would have started being recorded. I believe that my soundtrack shows a pretty wide variety of music because my life is made up of a bunch of crazy little elements.There are a few musical theater songs in my soundtrack because I believe that the songs from these productions have the best themes of all. The theme for my life soundtrack is to be yourself and it’s based on my second favorite quote by Dr. Seuss, “Why fit in when you were born to stand out!” So, let me entertain you with my life, because if it’s not interesting, it’s at least a little bit funny.…
We all love to listen to good songs that brings back a lot of memories. Be it in our rooms, backyard, front yards and even on our garage doors in Phoenix. Sometimes, there are music that really reminds us of something like having theme songs or favorite songs along with our friends, families, or even someone special. But in other circumstances, some songs can make us remember things even when we only listened and heard it once. We cannot avoid that such songs can make us feel something that we only felt before.…
Throughout history, music has played a significant role in every culture. Since the beginning, humans have used music to express themselves and their surroundings. What began as simple tribal rhythms, music has slowly evolved into complex styles, such as classical, jazz, rap, and rock. While these styles are all unique and different, they are all similar. No matter the decade or type, music is used as a universal language to communicate ideas and emotions. The themes in music are directly related to the events that are occurring in the culture at a particular time. Almost every historical event, from the resurrection of Christ to September 11, has been depicted through some form of music. These events can be portrayed and analyzed based on the music that was…
What do you feel when you hear a rapid drum beat? Or even the shivering sound of the low hum of a bagpipe? We all probably at one time turned on music to lift our spirits from a sad time in our life or even just to amp up our attitude even farther from a joyous occasion. What is it in music that causes different emotions to come out and affect our attitude? Well that’s a question that is still being researched but we have somewhat of a understanding of it. Then we’ll take a look at three specific genres. Rock, folklore, and classical.…
One song that has really changed my life and has had an impact would be Hall of Fame by The Script. The song has the verses and reminders that if you do your best and if you strive for what you want to do or who you want to be, then you can be the best, and you can find yourself standing in the Hall of Fame. The nature of its impact could not be much greater. It encourages students, teenagers, and everyone to be the strongest person they can be with whatever they want to do the most. As the example in the music video, it goes through the rough life of a kid who gets beat up a lot, and a female dancer who is mute and has a hearing aid, so the other dancers make fun of her. The dancer goes through the hardship and really pushes it out of the way, and the kid becomes a boxer and stands up for himself.…
A theme song that I chose for myself was Some Things Never Change by Foesum. Whenever I play this song I usually feel two emotions: joy and sadness. The sadness comes from not being able to see friends from high school as much as I was used to. The joy comes from knowing although we do not see each other as much we will always be there for each other. This song was a part of my life growing up in high school, all my friends listened to the same genre of music called G-Funk. Whenever this song comes up on my music player I remember the good times I had with my friends. The lyrics in the chorus go: Some things never change, ain't it strange? How things just remain the same. The meaning behind this chorus is that no matter where life takes you, there are some things about that will never change about yourself. My favorite verse comes in the beginning and it was by MNMsta and it goes:…
When thinking about the soundtrack for my life, the songs and lyrics that would best suit my life story, unfold before my eyes. Starting with a song by the Judds, titled Grandpa; reminding me of my early childhood, in which my grandfather was the biggest influence on my life. The lyrics of this song reflects what he had endeavored to teach me. He taught me right from wrong and about keeping promises. There were many occasions he would tell stories of his experiences to impress upon me valuable life lessons. Most important of all he taught me to love myself and others; that love was an important part of life and not something you throw away. He raised me until the age of eight years old; as my parents were wrapped up in the lifestyle not suitable…
The project I’ve chose is music makers. Music is a form of art and deals with expressions. The quote by Eminem explains how important music is, which is "You better lose yourself, In the music ,The moment, You own it, You better never let it go, You only get one shot, Do not miss your chance to blow, This opportunity comes, Once in a lifetime". Music can express any type of feelings you have. Music is an art of sound and elements of rhythm, melody, harmony and color. All the songs chosen are a type of rock and express a lot of feelings. You listen to the type of music you’re listening to depending on your situation or mental thoughts. I chose the songs I chose depending on Max’s situation or mental thoughts.…
