    I wanna be contigo, and live contigo, and dance contigo, para have contigo, una noche loca”. This is the chorus to Enrique Iglesias’ billboard hit, Bailando. If you listen to the song you can hear the rhythm of reggae, hip hop, Spanish flamenco, reggaeton among a cacophony of other sound. I hear beauty, see color and feel joy when I listen to this song. The success of this song according to Gary Trust, associate director of charts is due to “the fact that a quarter of this country’s youths are Latino. He comments that the market is so diverse that Latino artists don’t have to pick just one language or two.…

    Twenty One Pilots is an alternative/indie band made up of two members, Joseph and Josh Dunn. They are known to occasionally rap and include specific tempos and beats that correspond with each song’s thought provoking lyrics. In the song “Oh. Ms. Believer” by Twenty One Pilots they use the analogy of snow to describe a young girl going through depression. The band accurately describes the feeling of being trapped inside one's mind as they go through the hardships of this mental illness. Although at first this song may be interpreted as another cliché alternative hit, the meanings hidden beneath the lyrics are sure to tug at the listener's heart strings as he/she looks through the eyes of someone who struggles with a loved one who is depressed.…

    The song, Don’t Shoot, by the Game is a collaborative rap song that explains racial injustice in one word ‘murder’. The artist use the theme that our reason for being on earth isn't to be murdered, but to strive and evolve into the future. This song perfectly fits with Dear martin, because in the book Manny a promising, young black man, was murdered by a police officer, for having his music to loud. We also see that Justyce the main protagonist, goes through his fair share of injustice and brutality by police. According to the text, “I did the math when I got back to my room there were 192 years between the Declaration of Independence and the end of all that Jim Crow stuff.…

    I enjoy listening to this song anyways as it is in my native language and one of my top childhood songs. The song is about a couple who is in love with each other but when the guy has to leave for the US, they broke up. He later returns and the love is still there. This is a very cute story and I love singing the lyrics that describes his feelings for her as he was away. If I broke up and get back together with my boyfriend, I would want this to be our scenario, that we broke up and got back together because of distance or circumstances, not because we wanted this. I also love how there are english lyrics sung with deep emotion in the song: “I will be back for you.” The music video for the song is also very heartwarming and brings a smile to my face whenever I think of it. If I got back together with my ex, I could listen to this song to remind me of my feelings for him. This song is a great song that evokes strong emotions from me and makes me think about love and how strong it is to overcome lots.…

    “Napping – she got home a few hours ago.” I followed him into his bedroom and looked to my mom’s side of the bed, the one next to a window. It must have been late because lamp lights from the parking lot streamed through the cracked blinds. Where mom’s sleeping form should have been, the covers were turned up and the pillows were missing. “Maybe she went to spend time with a friend?” I suggested at my dad’s curious gaze. A niggling…

    One can clearly see this when the narrator states that “one’s own husband, assures friends and relatives that there is really nothing the matter with one but temporary nervous depression.” This distinctly indicates that the narrator is afflicted with depression, since her husband has diagnosed her with this disorder. One is also inclined to believe that this illness is the result of childbirth and a condition known as post-partum depression. In line 33, the narrator says that “we took the nursery at the top of the house.” After reading this, one can comprehend that the narrator has recently given birth. Later on in the text, the narrator exclaims in anger after saying that she was not allowed to enter the nursery; much less, see her own child. This cruel separation from her child may not be the root of her depression, rather hormone imbalances that spike different chemicals responsible for emotion that release in one’s brain, leading to a mental disorder. Post-partum depression is common because of this fact (Pick). Such profound depression like the one the narrator finds herself in, can prove to be terrible in the sense that it can build into true hallucinogenic…

    It was snowing that morning but the job of being a mom never ends. As I walk to the front door of her home, she comes to the door and lets me in, greeting me as usual. She takes my coat as I follow her to the kitchen, where she is trying to feed Matthew a bowl of rice as he runs around the kitchen with his toys. She starts to call out “Matthew!” every time that he leaves the kitchen, I can tell that she is juggling too many things at a time because while she is still trying to feed him, she is also serving herself some rice and tortillas so that she can eat.…

    There are wires growing out of everyone’s ears. That is, to listen to music. Music is an infinite source, whether that source is for lifting up spirits, expressing underlying pain and anger, or just merely a distraction. Music from well-developed Broadway musicals to a series of beats at a party, it is something we all have done: listen to music. Some even say that music defines us but it that really true? Is our music the soundtrack of who we each are? Do what we listen to support our core values in life? To answer this I sought out the one song I listened to most, “This Kiss” by Alex Days and Carrie Hope Fletcher, and interpreted its lyrics to see if it matched with my core values of commitment, happiness, and love.…

    As if I couldn 't see through him!” was Jane’s internal response and perspective on John after he asked her if she had slept well. This behavior does not surprise a health professional as myself, however it does portray a lot of concrete evidence towards the ignorance that society had in how to deal with patients that just needed some mental support. John’s questions were birthed out of mere routine and basic conversation skills not taking into consideration the depth in which his wife analyzed and interpreted all that he said though an unhealthy and unstable…

    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.…
