    Comparing Car Radio 'And Acquainted With The Night'

    Though there are many differences between the song and the poem, the theme and SOAPSTone elements are similar in a lot of ways. In the song, Tyler is explaining his experience with depression. By him saying “he lost his car radio” , he’s talking about the music that helps him through the rough times. He has lost his outlet and now is left alone with his thoughts. Similarly, the poem is about a lonely guy who is also experiencing depression. He compares it to being “acquainted with the night.” He’s saying that he’s lonely and he’s isolating himself because of the depression. The subject of the song deals with depression mostly because Tyler’s mind is going crazy with bad thoughts. The car radio is stolen and he’s in silence, which silence can bring about sadness and overthinking. In the same way, the poem’s subject is about the same topics, depression, loneliness and isolation. The narrator has never found any comfort in his depression. He is unwilling to express his feelings because he feels as if no one…

    A Summary Of Zeds Dead's Social Identity

    While many of their songs do not feature many lyrics and are mostly synthetic instrumentals, the lyrics that are included are extremely illustrative of Zeds Dead’s social identity. The self- determining lyrics of Zeds Dead tracks parallel Hooks and DC’s independent and easy-going personalities, as they are young and simply exploring the world and enjoying life. In one interview, when Hooks and DC were asked what their three favorite things about touring were, they replied with “Partying, finding cool new food spots, and exploring different cities” (Lex, “Interview with Zeds Dead”). Similarly, these social values are articulated in their song lyrics. For example, in their song “One Time”, which was performed at Fallapalooza at UMD, the lyrics…

    Song Analysis of "Fortunate Son"

    Following World War Two, the two legitimate world powers were the United States and the Soviet Union. With the Soviet Union under a communistic government and the United States being a nation founded in Capitalism, tensions between the two nations rose, resulting in the Cold War. Against the wishes of the United States, small countries in East Asia began to turn communist. Fear that one country turning would have a chain reaction turning many more, the United States turned to a policy of ‘containment’. This policy was tested in the Korean War and would be again tested in the Vietnam War. Starting as a War with the communist North Vietnam against South Vietnam and the French, with the French’s withdraw from the War, the United States intervened to preserve democracy. This would prove to be the most controversial war in American history which spawned large scale protest including the rock group, Creedence Clearwater Revival and their song, “Fortunate Son”.…

    Fleetwood Mac's Landslide: A Song on Aging and Corruption

    The song "Landslide" performed by Fleetwood Mac and written by their lead singer Stevie Nicks illustrates the struggles of aging and being infringed with corruption. She utilizes free verse in both her rhythm and rhyme scheme to describe her evolution as the years have past. Her tone is initially reflective with a hint of insecurity, but by the end of the song it morphs into confidence and acceptance. Nicks uses figurative language such as metaphor, conceit, and symbols to create images that express the unsureness she is trying to overcome. Stevie Nicks utilizes many literary elements to express the endeavors of growing old.…

    Song Analysis

    Near the end of the song, the lyrics portray self-actualization and motivation. “Talking shit about a pretty sunset,” is very much a reference to having a negative outlook on a positive thing. The song writer is completely self-aware, “I've changed my mind so much I can’t even trust it. My mind changed me so much I can’t even trust myself.” He realizes that he is his own worst enemy and begins taking responsibility for his unhappiness.…

    Meaning In Mystic River

    Happy endings are presumed to belong to the realm of fantasy. In real life, after all, even a thumping electoral victory is generally more a first act than a last; what ensues, much too often, is disappointment, broken promises and even murmurs of a recall. When the believer, in any faith, tells us that the reward for bloody sacrifice is eternal joy, the nonbeliever is often tempted to think that the believer is merely trying to justify the ways of God to man. On earth at least, the end of life is death.…

    Song without Words Analysis

    Lieder ohne Worte (Song without Words) is written by the Romantic composer Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. 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.…
