Analysis of the Song “All Out of Love” by Air Supply
This song displays a lot of sad emotions that can be felt by anyone. It is about a sad love story of two people. The 1st 4 lines means they’ve just broke up for some kind of reason. Yet, even though they love each other very much, they can’t do anything about it. It seems they cannot love each other because of a particular cause. The next 4 lines indicates that the man (because a man sang the original single) still thinks of his beloved for he still wishes to see her bright smiles in those times he was very saddened. Still, he’s unsure whether their love for each other will prevail.
The chorus of the song is the most remarkable for it was very deep. Even an explanation from a student like me is not enough. “I’m all out of love, I’m so lost without you.” With this statement, we can assume that the man really loves his woman and she was a great loss, not only to their relationship but also to his life. The next lines of the chorus say that the man was really sorry for the reasons of their break-up. For him, it indeed was a terrible mistake and yet, he still wishes for their love to continue.
As the days roll by with the man away from his heart, he was wondering about their lost love. The 2nd verse emphasizes how the man really wanted for their love to be renewed. He was struggling in those times that he was lonely and disheartened. To ease his sadness, he kept reminiscing their memories together and until then, he wanted to make a move so that his woman can forgive her and they can love again. For the man, his beloved is his life, as the song says, “please love me or I’ll be gone...” Clearly, he can’t live no longer without her by his side.
“All out of love” was a great love song composed and performed by one of the greatest artists of all time, Air Supply. It was meaningful and melodically created. Still, they

    At first I thought that the music was not in tandem with these lyrics at all. The lyrics have such depression in them at first while the music itself is so peppy and upbeat. I could not understand how they worked together. That for me was the site of struggle. Hegemonic norms tell us that songs about death and sadness should be slow and heavy. This song has such energy to it and resists hegemonic norms so that it couldn’t possibly fall into the category of death. I listened to the song a few more times and I realized that the song was not just a sad retelling of a story, but it is a memorial of…

    I see this song as a massage from the writer to every human who lives in the face of the earth; means “good people are living inside of us no matter if they are dead or alive. Although they left our world; they also left actions, and memories.” There are too many candles live in the universe, we did not even know about them. They live in the dark but spread the light through the flame which dancing in the wind.…

    | Name: Larquitin JohnsonCourse: Music 11Professor: Dr. Anthony Gatto Assignment: Song Analysis – Forget You Date: 10/25/11 The spell of a saccharine song such as Cee Lo Green’s “Forget You,” demonstrates the magical powers of a great song that captivates the senses of many people. Even my seven-year-old daughter gets excited whenever she hears the song “Forget You” playing over the airways. From the outset, I was also wooed by its spell. The message of the song redefines my experiences of past relationships as it struck a familiar chord with the melodramatic presentation of a happy song about the heartaches of a relationship break-up. Consequently, I chose, “Forget You” to write a song analysis with the goal to determine the compositional form of the song and to identify how and why specific musical elements contribute to the shape and success of the song. The terms of reference for this song analysis are as follows: text, instrumentation, song form, vocal line, and style of the entire song. According to Wikipedia, free encyclopedia on the web, Cee Lo Green’s real name is Thomas De Carlo Callaway and the song “Forget You” was co-authored by Cee Lo Green, Christopher ‘Brody’ Brown, Peter Hermandez, Philip Lawrence and Ari Levine. The song was produced by the Smeezingtons, which is comprised of Bruno Mars, Phillip Lawrence, and Ari. Levine. The source also states that the original title for this song is “Fuck You” and that it is censored for the main media hence the change of name to “Forget You” for main stream audience. The uncensored version was released August 19, 2010 on YouTube as the first single on Cee Lo’s third album entitled “Lady Killer.” The gist of the song is captured plainly throughout the text, telling a story about a guy who is in love with a girl who had left him for a wealthier lover. One day, the jilted lover sees his ex-girlfriend driving around with her new lover and begins his negative rants…
