    Go Down Mosess Meaning

    To me, this meaning means that a person’s soul can be affected by the words or songs the people hears in his/her lifetime and can influence them more than any action can. When the slaves were put out into the field to work long hours without pay, they would come up with new and creative songs that would emulate the way that they felt during slavery. One such song is called “Go Down Moses”. This song was a freedom song. This song was created after the Old Testament in the bible which tales the Israelites (African slaves) that one of their people will one-day help lead them to freedom from the white slaveholders (who in the song is Pharaoh).…

    Make Your Beginning You Who Sing Analysis

    The song, Make Your Beginning, You Who Sing, which is a song of the Aztec nobility spoke to me muck like many works of lyric I listen to today. One for example is called, Can’t Complain by a band called Relent K. Each have the same basic message, which is do not worry about wordily things, just life life to the fullest because we do not live long. The song, Can’t Complain, focusses more on bad situations and telling the listeners how this person coped with the situation. Such as in the first few lines, “Looking at the cop in the rear view mirror. Probably should have stopped but the crosswalk was clear. I’ll just imagine it's a ticket to a Broadway show.” This show how the writer flipped a terrible situation into an optimistic view. Looking…

    New Slaves Song Meaning

    In the song the song New Slaves By Kanye West produced in the year 2013 and the producers of this song are by Kanye West, Ben Bronfman, Mike Dean, Travis Scott, Noah Goldstein, Sham Joseph and Che Pope. The song New Slaves has a lot to do with racism, slavery, segregation, and materialism. One of the reasons that Kanye West made this song about this powerful topic is because he thinks that there is still in this day a lot of racism, and maybe from him making this song people would be able to hear it and maybe see how people feel. Another reason, why Kanye West made this song is because in the intro of the song he says,” My momma was raised in the era when clean water was only served to the fairer skin.” The definition of the intro is his describing when his mother was growing up she was growing up in the era when all the racism was very bad.…

    Bruce Springsteen: Song Analysis

    This song is about a woman who is a tease. The woman will kiss the man and even turn them on but will have nothing else to do with them. Eventually the man gets addicted to this girl and believes that she’s the one. He tries to break his addiction of her but she will always be the one. In the end the man keeps trying to break her and she resists. I think this song tells an interesting story about real life and love at first sight. The amount of imagery in this song immediately draws you in. I think it is pretty neat that whenever Bruce writes a song it is not just words but it is full of thought and meaning. This is one of those songs that many people remember as the song that was playing during their first kiss. The song is full of emotion and it brings emotions to those that listen to…

    Discouraging Interracial Relationships

    “ They print my message in the Saturday Sun I had to tell them I ain't second to none And I told about equality And it's true Either you're wrong or you're right”(Black) The perspective of these lines in the song tells a little historical information while at the same time in a sense of equality. “ They print my message in the Saturday Sun I had to tell them I ain't second to none” the perspective of this is referring to the ongoing subject of former slavery which is used as an alternative in arguments between blacks and the white race , where slaves would work in the hot climates for long periods of time. Then the section where he said “ ain’t second to none” he’s stating he isn’t controlled in any way by anyone which commonly is said about those in interracial relationships of black and white. Usually white person in the relationships is in control. “And I talk about equality And it's true Either you're wrong or you're right”(black) This ensures that he is not using the last statement to start racial conflict and also shows how he views everyone as equal. Also how being wrong or right shouldn’t be based on skin tone, it should be based on actions. Another example is “ I ain't scared of your brother I ain't scared of no sheets I ain't scare of nobody Girl, when the goin' gets mean”(Black) this whole line is referring to standing up to different parts of society of both races that disagree with the interracial relationship. This song is an aid to help change the perspective of society on interracial…

    How Does Bob Marley's Song Relate To The Song Three Little Birds

    To begin, most of Bob Marley’s songs have a lot to do with being happy and sharing happiness with others as well. I like how Bob Marley views the world on love, peace, and happiness. His lyrics to this song are calm and also has appropriate language. In the society I live in today, it is hard to find a decent song to listen to on the stereo with my mom in the passenger seat. This song is speaking out to me because it is letting me know that “every little thing will be okay.” The lyrics can connect to me because I always panic over little situations. I also like everything to go as planned and perfect, but listening to this song, it is telling me that it is okay to be imperfect. I believe there are things that can get out of my control and sometimes there is nothing a person can do to prevent these things from happening such as, having a bad day, having a miscarriage, or getting stressed with a large amount of assignments. A person cannot control what happens in a day,…

    Selena Reezo

    Every day, every news channel I feel like I see a tragedy. “The world can be a nasty place.” is the opening line of the song and it reflects mostly everything that is seen in this country/news. A suicide, mass shooting, terrorist attack, etc. it's what our generation is used to seeing. With all the violence in the United States, it's going to get us nowhere. A lyric in the song says, “ and no war in anger was ever one." showing that any angry violence that happens is never for a good reason, and it doesn't help with the problem the violence started from in the first place. If we did kind and peaceful actions toward the problem we want to resolve, we would move at such a greater pace. This song also references the Internet and social media, in the role it plays. Social media can be one of the most deadly weapons in this country. People think they are so big on the other side of that computer screen and what they might not know is that they could be killing somebody physically and emotionally. In the song it says, “ Your lies are bullets, Your mouth's a gun.” I find this line so powerful. It's so realistic, people's words that are typed in those 140 characters or that are posted on that picture can be like bullets and that send button is the gun. The figures we see on social media fighting with one another for such a small predicament, is sickening. We even have presidential nominees fighting with each other on…

    The next line is, “I ran my mouth off a bit too much oh what did I say? Well you just laughed it off it was all okay.” This brought me to the realization that even my own mistakes can be forgiven. I know I am not a perfect person. This line gave me a peace of mind knowing that it’s okay to be wrong sometimes. Forgiveness is a beautiful creation that I practice every day. This song brought me to forgive a friend I had a long term fight with. We sat down and talked out our issues instead of holding a grudge.…

    Ressurection

    This song represents everything that I am now as person, because this song's entire meaning related to me during a very important moment of my life. Years back when I was in high school I was doing things I shouldn't have been doing and hanging around with people I shouldn't have been hanging around with. I was in a bad way in life, I didn't have much self-worth, and didn't really see the point of life sometimes. Two years ago I was at a birthday party for my cousin and it felt like any other party, loud music, people drinking, and smoking, myself included. Feeling tired, I went inside my cousin's house and I saw this girl that just caught my attention like nothing else in the world. Normally, I am the most anti-social person and sure I am shy, but mostly kind of anti-social. Nevertheless, I talked with that girl until she left a couple hours ago, during that entire I felt no need to drink at all or tried to invite her to drink with me, which amazed after I thought about had happened after she left. First, I had never felt that kind of connection with someone in my life. Second, the night after that party I awoke with the strangest sense of well-being, like I was alive finally. Third, it was the first time I didn't feel like being that kind of person I was before meeting that girl. I've been with that girl for 2 years and plan on still being with her for time to come. This song represents and reminds me that I'm here now and happy thanks to this person.…

    Goodbye My Lover (James Blunt)

    This song tells a story, in fact the artist, James Blunt, says that it's based on a relationship he was in with an ex-lover. He said that "she meant nothing" to him; but the lyrics and the emotion he sings with begs to differ. It's set up like most songs, using the a-a-b-b rhyme scheme, but the way he personifies things and allows the reader to actually "see" what he's singing about.…
