What Is The Mood Of Amazing By Kanye West
The song “Amazing” by Kanye West describes my summer and my personality for a few reasons. First and foremost, the mood of the song reflects my personality to a decent extent. For instance, this song has a slower, more “chill” feeling to it. As a person, I am predominantly calm, but have occasional moments of intensity. The Young Jeezy verse reflects the intense side of me, as the verse suddenly lashes out at you with wrathful, raspy vocals, while my calm side is reflected by the Kanye West verses, put out in a soothing, mellow voice. Consequently, the frequency of the verses also reflects my personality, as the song contains one intense verse amidst 7 calm ones, reminiscing how I am principally calm.
Moving on, the connections get a little

    While sappy and slow hits are the usual characteristics of a Carrie Underwood song, she changes her style with a more optimistic tune. It opens with an upbeat rhythm on the keyboard. Then, a bluesy beat is introduced with the sounds of a guitar, violin, and drum set. The tune fades lower to stress the importance of the lyrics when she begins to sing. She uses variations of medium and low pitches to show off her perfect country vocals. She begins with a low and sassy voice, but shifts to a more medium tone at times. While she starts the chorus, the music gets louder and an arrogant attitude is heard through her voice. The music is also very joyful because she resolves the situation in her own terms. This angry, yet cheerful, melody is very different from what Underwood's fans are used to hearing.…

    Just like many other rappers, Aubrey “Drake” Graham raps about how tough his life is/was and how he went from having nothing to having anything he wanted. However many people claim that these rappers rap about a life that they have never truly lived and that they try to create a public image that is fake which portrays them as a thug when they truly are not. In the articles, “Faux Americana: Why I Still Love Bruce Springsteen”, by Stephen Metcalf and “More Rock, Less Talk: Live Music Turns Off the Voices in Our Heads”, by Carrie Brownstein the authors discuss how they determine if an artist is authentic or not. One could argue that Drake is inauthentic due to the fact that he was an actor and lied about his background, along with the fact that he does not connect well with his fans during his live performances.…

    There are a lot of people in this world, some can be described as extraordinary, or simply extra ordinary. You view people differently than everyone else in this world, and how you let them mold you is exclusive and unique to you and you only.

    Imagine a song that reminds you of the early Saturday mornings where you sat staring at the television screen watching one your favorite cartoons as everyone in your house is fast asleep. Now imagine that you're an adult, you're stressed out, attempting to balance your responsibilities and trying to figure out what the heck to do with your life. You sit at your work desk staring at the computer, you're longing to be a kid again, young, free-spirited, free of worries and ready to take on the world and make it a better place. Now imagine a song that brings both your childhood and present worlds together and allows you to be your inner-superhero and conquer the world-that song for me is “Wonderful Everyday: Arthur” by Chance the Rapper and The Social Experiment.…

They are nonstop always being smothered, and absolutely hate the fact that they cannot be who they want to be. They eventually get tired of listening to him/her and start living to their own expectations.…

    a teenager (http://allhiphop.com/2012/05/15/jhene-aiko-talks-signing-with-no-i-d-working-with-the-weeknds-producers-why-she-left-chris-stokes-t-u-g-camp/). She has silky and compassionate vocals that her fans can easily identify. DeVaughn, R. (2012, November 5) Telephone interview. In the song “Stranger,” from her mixtape “Sailing Souls,” Jhene suggests that the main character acts like a stranger in their relationship, a familiar feeling she’s had in other relationships. This song explores the idea that a person can think they know someone’s personality really well and then that same person acts differently to cause the relationship to feel unfamiliar. For this reason, I believe the song “Stranger” takes you on a journey through the ups and downs of her relationship with the main character. This allows the listener to experience the emotions of the song through diction, figurative language, and repetition.…

    Often in rap music the artist is describing points of their life or childhood that were notable to them. One prominent rap song “Juicy”, by Notorious B.I.G. is “Biggie’s ode to growing up in the ghetto. Alternating between his impoverished childhood and life at the top of the charts, Big creates a rags-to-riches narrative exemplifying the American Dream lived through Hip Hop.” Another example is Tinie Tempah’s “Written in the stars”, which also references his life as an impoverished young boy living in the ghetto. The is is evident in lines such as “Look I'm just a writer from the ghetto like Malory Blackman. Where the hells all the sanity at, damn I used to be the kid that no one cared about. That's why you have to keep screaming 'til they hear you out”. There are an abundance of rap songs that delve deep into the origins of the writer, often of the hardships they faced due to poverty and bad influence in their youth. These include being exposed to gangs, and gang related violence as well as drugs and alcohol at a young age. These very real references to their youth are central illustrations of how music mirrors…

    For my song I picked Garth Brooks “The River.” I consider this song to be very meaningful. This song is about chasing your dreams and never giving up on what you believe in, reminding us that life is shorter than we think and if we just stand on the shore watching the river go by, then life will be gone before we know it. Garth Brooks uses a lot of psychological concepts in this song, such as, Attitude, Affect, Motivation, Optimism, and Behavior. Garth Brooks says, “A dream is like a river.” A dream changes, just like a river changes. As life changes, the river can be calm then strong then calm again, so our path in life change. Garth Brooks says that “He will sail his vessel until the river runs dry.” To me this mean no matter what life throws…

    “New York is more than a tan that you’ll never lose,” this quote is by Lady Gaga, who is one of my favorite singers. Quotes like these are unique. This quote shares uniqueness with the music I listen to, which defines me and my personality. I consider myself to be a very unusual and colorful character. Anyone who didn’t know me should be able to figure out my personality just from listening to the music I own. This is primarily because I listen to a variety of genres when it comes to music. The genres that dominate my “Top 25 Most Played” playlist are: pop, alternative, electronic, hip-hop, and jazz.…
