    The song I have chosen for my song explication is “I Won’t Give Up by Jason Mraz” which depicts a concept to the play, Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, how beautiful each admirer thinks their love is. A quote from the song relating to this concept is “When I look into your eyes, It's like watching the night sky, or a beautiful sunrise (Mraz 1-3)”. This is saying when Mraz looks into the girl's eyes, it’s like watching the night sky because it is peaceful. Mraz compares his love’s eyes to the sunrise.

Not only does it feature musical genius, the lyrics possess considered weight and meaning, something many modern-day “top hits” often lack. Although the song seems extremely depressing to anyone who actually listens to the lyrics, rather than the catchy melody, it features ethos, pathos, and logos, as the narrator pleas for his life after committing a murder. The song opens with the narrator questioning reality, presumably because he murdered someone, and his execution time was nearing.
