Ain T No Sunshine: Song Analysis
Even though this isn't actually Billy Withers himself I think the song does him some justice. The song “Ain’t No Sunshine” by Billy and covered by Octavius Womack is easily one of my favorite songs. I listened to the cover version since it was one of the most popular versions of the song on youtube I could find when searching and I liked it a bit more than the version that made me search for it on the radio. What originally got me into blues music was the fact that I had just started driving and was constantly nervous. I was on grooveshark the day it went down and noticed that the page had showed some music news of the day. Since I was in an Ag class that was pretty much a joke I spent all hour reading about BB King's life and his tragic death

    Ain T That A Shame: Song Analysis

    When a song is as heavily covered as Fats Domino’s “Ain’t That A Shame” from his album Rock and Rollin with Fats Domino you know that there is something special about it. With recording artists such as Pat Boone, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, and even the 1970s rock group, Cheap Trick recording the song many people know at least one version. However the original version has a special something about it that helps it stand out from the many covers. The song has an enticing hook, interesting historical context, and is an earworm that was with me for several days after I first heard the song.…

    How Does Fitzgerald Tell the Story in Chapter 5 of 'the Great Gatsby'?

    Nick Carraway is the primary voice in chapter 5 of Fitzgerald’s 20th century tragedy. This means that all opinions and points of view are portrayed through Carraway’s first person, retrospective and fallible narration. Carraway is presented as fallible in this chapter, as the gaps in the narrative reveals Nick as a fallible narrator. He states that ‘I don’t know whether or not Gatsby went to Coney island’ yet he speculates what Wilson is thinking at the end of Chapter 8 exposing his narration to be fallible as it shows that a lot of the narrative could be speculative and therefore unreliable. Nick also speculates at the end of the chapter, ‘there must have been moments even that afternoon when Daisy tumbled short of his dreams’, however due to the sense desperation that starts to oose out of Gatsby as he states with ‘automatic quality’ that he and Daisy had been apart for ‘5 months next November’, we know this to be untrue proving Carraway’s speculation to be liable.…

    The Breakfast Club Song Analysis

    The breakfast club has one of the most unique and memorable soundtracks of all time. Something that made the movie gave it such a memorable track and the movies “theme song”, "Don't You (Forget About Me)" by the band Simple minds. Something that the movie did that not none to many movies had done at that point. They used this song twice, once at the beginning at once at the end. The two times this song is played in this movie, each function is shown. It shows genre because the movie was release in 1985 and this is around the time new wave music (the song’s genre) became popular. It sets the mood both at the beginning and at the end of the movie. It sets mood at the beginning because of the tempo and rhythm makes…

    No Scrubs By Johnny Cash: Song Analysis

    My group for the music time capsule was Ashley Armitage, Dylan Bates, and Jordan Crutchfield. These 10 songs were chosen because we felt that they will be relevant in the near and distant future. Honestly, the way my group chose our songs was by each of us picking three songs from our individual lists and mutually discussing the tenth song. The first song is Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash. Ashley Armitage chose this song, and with very good reason.…

    Analysis Of Jorja Smith's Song I Am

    The song “I am” by Jorja Smith was written for the film Black Panther in 2018 as a single release. Jorja’s song is about seeking change but is too afraid of societies opinion. The change that Jorja is seeking is most likely controversial and many people think she should do something else. Within the song, Jorja shows that she is scared of what people people think but she is going stand up to negative people by saying “Try and shoot me down for voicing my own opinion triggering a part of me that’s always been indifferent”. This song is about change and it reveals the uncertainty someone may have when it comes to the unknown.…

    Song Analysis: Just Like California

    Just Like California is a song by the band, Old 97’s, a band created in the year, 1993. This song, on the album Too Far To Care, best represents me as a person because I don't like to do things half-hearted. To me, the lyrics, “halfway there just wouldn’t be fair, so I'm going all the way tonight,” mean that doing a half-hearted job of something wouldn't be the right way to do it, so I'm going to do it all the way. I do a lot of things that require commitment, such as homework and sports.…

    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.…

    chemistry and society

    According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, accuracy is “freedom from mistake or error: the quality or state of being accurate: the ability to work or perform without making mistakes” ("accuracy," 2014). Precision, however, is “the quality of being precise” ("precision," 2014). That doesn’t really help with the definition much. After subsequently checking the definition for precise it means to be “very careful and exact about the details of something” ("precise," 2014). The most notable difference in the definitions of these two words, according to the dictionary, is that to be accurate it is not necessary to be careful about the details of something as it is to be precise. This seemed to be a bit confusing until it is realized that it is possible to perform without making mistakes while estimating measurements accurately. However, to be precise takes a bit more discipline and a desire to perfect what is being measured with exactness.…
