Song Analysis: Dope By BTS
The song I chose for this discussion is Dope by BTS. I think the main reason I like the song so much is because it is heavily synthesized, and it gives off an electronic vibe. Overall, the song's tempo is fast, but it does slow down a bit at the bridge. I actually really enjoy the melodic bridge because it lets the song "chill out" for just a little bit before going back into an extremely upbeat tempo. Additionally, I like the fact that there is a wide variety of voice ranges in the song. They obviously use auto-tune to enhance the voices, but I don't think that it is excessive, and I think that it sounds really nice. Everything in the song blends really nicely, and it is extremely catchy.

I feel as though my new awareness of the terms and

    You have a home, but they don’t. You live in peace, but they don’t. You have a family, but they don’t. They are the people who endure the bitterness of society; war, poverty and discrimination. Then there are the children wedged in the difficulties of life, their dreams torn apart by the hands of selfish monsters. The monster that is tearing apart lives is what we call child abuse. This is our world. And it’s your choice if you want to change it.…

    When a song is as heavily covered as Fats Domino’s “Ain’t That A Shame” from his album Rock and Rollin with Fats Domino you know that there is something special about it. With recording artists such as Pat Boone, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, and even the 1970s rock group, Cheap Trick recording the song many people know at least one version. However the original version has a special something about it that helps it stand out from the many covers. The song has an enticing hook, interesting historical context, and is an earworm that was with me for several days after I first heard the song.…

    Twenty One Pilots is an alternative/indie band made up of two members, Joseph and Josh Dunn. They are known to occasionally rap and include specific tempos and beats that correspond with each song’s thought provoking lyrics. In the song “Oh. Ms. Believer” by Twenty One Pilots they use the analogy of snow to describe a young girl going through depression. The band accurately describes the feeling of being trapped inside one's mind as they go through the hardships of this mental illness. Although at first this song may be interpreted as another cliché alternative hit, the meanings hidden beneath the lyrics are sure to tug at the listener's heart strings as he/she looks through the eyes of someone who struggles with a loved one who is depressed.…

    The song, Don’t Shoot, by the Game is a collaborative rap song that explains racial injustice in one word ‘murder’. The artist use the theme that our reason for being on earth isn't to be murdered, but to strive and evolve into the future. This song perfectly fits with Dear martin, because in the book Manny a promising, young black man, was murdered by a police officer, for having his music to loud. We also see that Justyce the main protagonist, goes through his fair share of injustice and brutality by police. According to the text, “I did the math when I got back to my room there were 192 years between the Declaration of Independence and the end of all that Jim Crow stuff.…

    Next, it isn’t very hard to notice that both Beck and Wonder have very different singing voices and singing styles between them. After all, Wonder is known for his incredible R&B vocals while Beck is best known to be one of the more influential guitarists in the history of rock music. Wonder’s singing voice and style is very harmonic with the melody of the song. Wonder’s voice immediately jumps at you, and you start to assume that he has quite the vocal range. On the contrary, Beck’s voice and style is lower and laid back. It’s low enough that the listener can hear the beat and guitar taking over but just loud enough so you can make out what he is singing. Finally, I feel as if the tempos of the songs are…

    “Talking shit about a pretty sunset,” is a song that portrays an overall apathetic outlook on life. The listener can clearly hear the discontent expressed in the words sung and the execution in the music. Thoughts of suicide, phobia of commitment, lack and gain of motivation, fixation and illusions of a better life are all present. Through the complex breaks and climax of the song, tells an emotional story of revelation, realization and self-actualization.…

    This Kiss Song Analysis

    There are wires growing out of everyone’s ears. That is, to listen to music. Music is an infinite source, whether that source is for lifting up spirits, expressing underlying pain and anger, or just merely a distraction. Music from well-developed Broadway musicals to a series of beats at a party, it is something we all have done: listen to music. Some even say that music defines us but it that really true? Is our music the soundtrack of who we each are? Do what we listen to support our core values in life? To answer this I sought out the one song I listened to most, “This Kiss” by Alex Days and Carrie Hope Fletcher, and interpreted its lyrics to see if it matched with my core values of commitment, happiness, and love.…

    Song Analysis

    The song that I chose to analyze is “Changes” by Tupac Shakur. The late Tupac Shakur was an African American rapper who was shot dead years ago. His powerful lyrics have impacted the rap industry to this day, because he spoke the truth. His lyrics directly related to his everyday struggles, and how being a successful African American is not an easy task to achieve. Rap usually talks about events of everyday life, and the song “Changes” talks about racial profiling, poverty, and how racism affects the everyday life of African American people. Note that this song came out in about 1996 where things were different, however the lyrics of this song still ring in the ears of people who are affected by the evil of racism.…

    A Complicated Kindness

    I recently read a book called A Complicated Kindness, by Miriam Toews. The protagonist is a teenage girl named Nomi. Nomi is growing up trapped in a small Mennonite community called East Village in the middle of nowhere, in Canada. All her life Nomi was told what to believe, with heavy emphasis on the belief that living dutifully and by the word of God in this life would guarantee salvation in the next. In Nomi’s town, you were either good or bad. There was no in between, no room for individuality or mistakes. Those who went through their life there quietly, going to church every Sunday and working at the local chicken slaughtering plant after graduation, were considered to be on their way up. Those were the people who at the end of a long, uneventful life, would be greeted happily by Jesus and live forever in his kingdom of glory. Those who broke out of the mould were doomed. Since non-conformists were clearly speeding down the highway to hell anyways, they were excommunicated from the church and forced to either leave the community or live without recognition from even their own family.…

    McDougall used logos, the persuasive appeal to the reader’s sense of reason and logic. He provided research studies and statistics to support his argument that running companies were the cause to running injuries, not the “cure-all” they advertised. “In a 2008 research paper for the British Journal of Sports Medicine, Dr. Craig Richards, a researcher at the University of Newcastle in Australia, revealed that there are no evidence-based studies-not one- that demonstrate that running shoes make you less prone to injury” (McDougall 121). Studies linked Achilles, knee, and feet injuries to the creation of the athletic shoes developed by Nike. With clear awareness of the excoriating pain and soreness the shoes were causing to athletes, Nike continued to be the dominating sales brand in the sports-wear market. “Part of a Nike rep’s job is getting feedback from its sponsored runners about which shoes they prefer, but that was proving difficult at the moment because the Stanford runners all seemed to prefer… nothing” (McDougall 169).…

    In her novel The Bluest Eye, Toni Morrison emphasizes three major events that are both personal and historical because they affected her at the time when she was writing the novel. She writes about a personal event about a childhood who wanted blue eyes to be beautiful, which puzzled her and changed her perception of what real beauty really was and who were the ones considered beautiful or ugly. There were also a couple of historical events that she mentions in the novel that affected her in some way and helped her realize the struggles going on in the country at that time.…
