The Drinking Song Analysis
Between these three interpretations of the "The Drinking Song", there were many differences in the overall theme, along with the attitude of the characters within the performance. Throughout all of the performances, the goal of the main male character did not change; he was constantly attempting to gain the interest of the main female character.

Though the attitude of the main male character did not change, it was seen that the attitude of the female character did. In the first piece, the female character seemed to have an interest in the male character from beginning to end. However, in the second and third piece, it was a different story. Because the second piece was performed publicly, the female characters were attracted to the male character,

    I chose the song “Car Radio” by Twenty One Pilots because it is very poetic and notes the fragility of human existence. My choosing of the song also came from its popularity and ability to resonant with a crowd. I practiced by memorizing the song, timing myself, trying varying tempo and pitch. I also practiced with varying levels of chattel going on from working over the sound of the television and the cacophony of hammers from the work that was going on outside my house. When I woke up on the morning of the speech, I was fine.…

    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.…

    After I annotated this song and actually looked into what the lyrics were saying I learned that not everyone is who you think they are. For instance, you hide a lot of things from people not because you want to ,but because you don’t know how to tell them or maybe you’re afraid of what they will think of you. In the song ‘Demons’ by Imagine Dragons the singer says,”I wanna hide the truth’(Imagine dragons line 8 box 3) ,but then he says,” don’t want to hide the truth.”( Imagine Dragons line 35 box 8) I think that he is having mixed feelings what he should do. He is afraid that if he tells you that you may leave him or you won’t look at him the same way ever again.…

    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.…

    Rat’s reputation among the men of Alpha Company was of being an exaggerator who frequently overstated the truth. The narrator compares Rat’s storytelling to sharing the experience of a fire, in order to burn his audience and ensure that they would come to the same understanding as him, Rat would embellish his tales. The narrator suggests that his stories be corrected by ‘subtracting superlatives, figuring the square root of an absolute and then multiplying by maybe’ implicating that every word should be taken with a grain of salt. Rat was also thought of as an emotional person who would be captivated in the moment of his stories. In order for him to express himself and his own personal…

    The breakfast club has one of the most unique and memorable soundtracks of all time. Something that made the movie gave it such a memorable track and the movies “theme song”, "Don't You (Forget About Me)" by the band Simple minds. Something that the movie did that not none to many movies had done at that point. They used this song twice, once at the beginning at once at the end. The two times this song is played in this movie, each function is shown. It shows genre because the movie was release in 1985 and this is around the time new wave music (the song’s genre) became popular. It sets the mood both at the beginning and at the end of the movie. It sets mood at the beginning because of the tempo and rhythm makes…

    “Merry Go Round” by Kacey Musgraves sounds like an ordinary country song but once the lyrics are read and analyzed listeners realize that it is nothing but. Ordinary country songs would be praising the small towns that the artist grew up in and displaying it in a good light but Mugraves’ song describes rural towns as boring and explains how fake the residents are, “Mamas hooked on Mary Kay/ Brothers hooked on Mary Jane/ And Daddies hooked on Mary two doors down”. In comparison Holcomb at first sight looks like an ordinary small town “with hard blue skies and desert-clear air, has an atmosphere that is rather more Far West that Middle West” (1) but once Truman Capote describes it with more detail the audience realizes that it is not a normal…

    “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.…

    My theme song is "Getting Better" by The Beatles. The Beatles were an English rock band formed in 1960. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, members of The Beatles, became widely regarded as the foremost and most influential act of the rock era. Rooted in skiffle, beat and 1950s rock and roll, the Beatles later experimented with several musical styles, ranging from pop ballads and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock, often incorporating classical elements and unconventional recording techniques in innovative ways. In 1963 their popularity first emerged as "Beatlemania", and as the group's music grew in sophistication in subsequent years, led by primary songwriters Lennon and McCartney,…

    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.…

    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.…
