Thus is very much related to the poem written by T.S.Eliot’s ‘The Love Song of J.Alfred Prufrock’‚ which highlights a vision on society that represents the familiar and the unfamiliar. Freud defines the uncanny as‚ “that species of the

The song that I have chosen is ‘People I Adore’. I have modified the lyrics from the song of ‘Farmer in The Dell’. I still retain the tune of the song and change the lyrics to suit the proficiency level of pupils in Year 3. I choose this song because the melody or tune for the song is very simple.

The overall ending of Twelfth Night is subversive‚ from Malvolio’s uncomfortable promises of revenge to Viola still in her Cesario attire after the grand unveiling of her identity. Feste’s song highlights these ambiguities: it is the only epilogue song with the exception of Love’s Labours Lost which is not celebratory (the latter being overshadowed by death). Feste’s lyrics emphasise the uselessness of material possessions when faced with the onslaught of time‚ and comes directly after Orsino’s professed

There are many reasons why this is an unlikely hit song and yet it found it’s way to the top spot on the Country charts and gives no sign of leaving anytime soon. The song itself sounds more like an album cut than a hit; while the chorus has a beautiful payoff line at the end‚ it lacks the huge hooks and big emotional release that usually drives a song to #1.
