Song Analysis: Bombs Away By Kid Cudi

The song I’ve been playing over and over recently is Hello by Adele. Adele is one of my favorite female artists. Her vocals are insane. What I like most about her songs is how relatable they can be. For instance, Hello seems to be about Adele trying to reach out to a past lover who seems to not want to speak to her. When I listen to this I think about my former best friend. If I ever reached out to her she wouldn’t want to speak to me. The beat is subtle and you can hardly hear it past Adele’s high vocal range.

Paradise by Coldplay is a cool song. The instruments used seems to a guitar, bass, drums, piano, and some string instrument. This song just makes me think about my paradise which is being on a beach listening to waves crash. To my surprise this song is super repetitive which I’m not a fan of. Despite the repetitiveness, it makes me happy.
Never Say Never by The Fray puts me in a depressed mood. I think the slow tempo and the sorrow filled lyrics makes me sad. The lyrics tell a story of a couple who keep breaking up and getting back together. I can’t really relate to this but it does make me think about how if love is meant to be it
