Folk Song Analysis
Barbara Allen: I thought this song was very different from the past songs that we have listened to because of the fact that it is a folk song. I feel that many people can relate to these types of songs because it has a nice melody and harmony.

Sones de Hausteca: This song integrated both the violin and the guitar into it. I thought that the range of melody was narrow. The first song was slower and seemed a bit calmer as to this song it felt a lot faster. These songs both to me have good staying power.

I really feel that music makes everyone a good person because music brings out many emotions in everyone. Music is something that brings people and the world together. There are many songs that can break language and culture barriers which

    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.…

    Tim O’Brien is a person who cannot seem to accomplish things that he really wants to do. The novel The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien is about the author himself. He is intelligent and thoughtful yet it is difficult for him to move forward towards what he actually wants. The song “Stop and Stare” by One Republic relates to O’Brien greatly with his personality and thoughts in more ways than one. “Stop and Stare” expresses a tone of emptiness, regret, sorrow, nostalgia, fear, and darkness. The story behind it is someone trying hard, trying to be the best, and hopefully getting to where they want to be, not backing down because of what others think.…

    Prominent protest songs of the 21st century are often found in genera’s containing boldly outspoken and poetically powerful lyrics such as contemporary rap and hip hop. However, a female country duo who debuted their first album in 2015 is stirring the gender inequality pot by crafting their music with brutal honesty.

    Ray Charles, Bill Withers, and Little Richard are typical musicians of the genre. Above all things, my mother always enjoyed listening to Bill Withers' songs, so I also listened to his songs. "Ain't No Sunshine," in particular, was easy to understand for me. The song makes me think about being at a quiet bar or restaurant at night and describes a girl who disappeared. Also, "Just the Two of Us" and "I Want to Spend the Night" are different emotions, but both songs describe love. "Just the Two of Us," Bill Withers' clear voice and a girl's voice in the chorus part from the song. In contrast, "I Want to Spend the Night" feels slow and smooth; the piano sound mentions that I lie on the bed at midnight. Maybe I listened to the songs as a young man; therefore, I liked the songs…

    In The Song of Songs, the Shulamite and her lover are everything but what society conforms to. In their Hebrew society there are rules and restrictions pertaining to sexual relations and who is allowed to marry who. These rules are stated in the book of Deuteronomy, and if the citizens do not abide by the laws written in the book, the punishments were harsh and brutal. However, the Shulamite and her lover seemed to be living in their own world where they could not care less about what society thought of them. In this poem, The Shulamite and her lover break many laws, and in most cases, desire seems to be considered a higher law to them than anything written in Deuteronomy.…

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.…
