Bob Marley Corner Stone Analysis

I chose this song because, in my opinion, it has a good thesis that backs up the song lyrics and it gives you a positive feeling. Basically, the song is telling us to always keep our faith and stay strong no matter what. It encourages people to

The first song that I have chosen is “White Liar” by Miranda Lambert because this song represents what I went through during my very tragic divorce. Lambert is an American country music artist who co-wrote this song with Natalie Hemby. The song was released in August of 2009. The reason I chose this song is because the words remind me of what I went through when I found out that my husband of six years had been cheating on me and how I felt. Lambert sings, “Hey white liar, the truth comes out a little at a time and it spreads just like a fire.” My husband had been cheating on me and the entire time, I sensed something was wrong, but he continued to tell me that I was wrong. According to him, they were just friends. In reality, I too was also a white liar

I chose “Humble and Kind,” by Tim McGraw as my theme song. “Humble and Kind” is a very good song that has very unique lyrics. The song gives advice on how to live. There are many manners in this song that are very important. The song is a parent telling their child how they should live life. It seems that the artist wrote the song on how he wishes he would have acted when he was younger. One of the main messages of this song are that everyone has something in their lives, but you still need to be nice. Some of the lyrics on the song are about the 10 Commandments. Even though we grow up, we still need to remember our manners and how to live life. “Don’t hold a grudge or a chip and here’s why Bitterness keeps you from flying.” This is an example

For my song I have chosen to do “Forever” by Jeff Williams. Jeff Williams is a songwriter that has other musical abilities like being able to play keyboards, guitar, bass, and drums. He is also an Assistant Professor at Berklee College of Music. He wrote this song to accompany a death scene in a web series called Red vs. Blue in the year 2012. He wrote this song for Red vs. Blue because he was the company that makes these videos an official songwriter for the past 3 seasons of the show. It was song by Jeff Williams’s daughter Casey Lee Williams. Therefore the meaning and tone of the song is one that is both deep and significant to people of all ages.

While many artists can reach the level of musical icons during their recording time, a few continue to remain relevant after they have died, and even fewer can touch peoples hearts and souls with as much power today as when they were alive, Bob Marley is one such artist. As Robert Palmer wrote for Marley’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, “ No one in rock and roll has left a musical legacy that matters more or one that matters in such fundamental ways.” A few years ago while I was at a fast food restaurant, there were two women behind the counter, one younger and one older. While waiting for my order I overheard the younger woman confiding in the older woman about some life issues that she was going through at the time.

As for my self, I am very into I Want to Hold Your Hand by the Beatles. Beatles have been one of my favorite bands since high school, and I have taken Beatles music class in college. I Want to Hold Your Hand was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. The former was a legendary musician in the music industry, while the latter is still active on the stage as a songwriter and singer. This song is remarkable to me since it was the first Beatles record that was made utilizing the four-track equipment. Additionally, it was Beatles’ first

There are so many influential songs that I can relate to. Marvin Gaye, “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”, wrote one that stands out. This classic song has lyrics that have withstood time. Many times, in rigorous courses throughout high school and Nova Southeastern University I sang out this song, pushing myself forward realizing the mountain in front of me is actually attainable. A person who is staunch and faithful can conquer any “mountain” and their desired endeavors.

The song I chose was “I’m Sorry” by the artist Joyner Lucas. This song has a pretty deep meaning to me. It’s about a man who commits suicide. Last year around Christmas time I met this guy. He was a friend of a close family member of mine. He was always hanging around them so naturally we started talking. I’m the type of person who cares about people a little too much. I started noticing that he got more quiet and more to himself. I never thought he wanted to hurt himself. I trusted him and he knew he could trust me too. Things at home weren’t good. He was hurting. No kid should ever go through that (he is my age).

I picked “Superwoman” by Alicia Key because the song is about how strong woman are now compare with the past. Woman always will find a way to scape and to survive; that woman are important to the world and the society needs to know that. My second song was ‘Born This Way” by Lady Gaga. It is not a secret that Lady Gaga is a woman with no prejudice in her live. She is accepted for how she is and she invites the world to do the same. She was born like that and she does not care if people do not agree with it.

Among the first rock stars of the 50s was Chuck Berry. Chuck Berry gave the youth quick paced rhythms, exuberant and carefree audience execution, and verses that permitted the crowd to relate to the music. Chuck Berry availed all the components desired by the young society. In fact, in his music “Rock N Roll Music”, the youth could dance and embrace at the same time being unique from the music their parents had enjoyed. In 1950s, the civil rights movement had risen and sparkled much attention. The issue of race was consequently fixed to Chuck Berry and Rock and Roll. Therefore, supporters of the civil rights movement were significantly more eager to advance Rock and Roll, as a means for African American’s to communicate

“Don’t be so hard on yourself” by Jess Glynne is my theme song because the lyrics explain the struggles of finding oneself, how everyone gets knocked down and encourages me to be myself. Being a victim of bullying, it was difficult to remain true to me. However, I grew up and realized other people’s opinions do not matter and continue to be me. Now, I show my true self to others every day and they accepted me. Regardless how many times life knocks me down, I always get back up. People make mistakes, but the mistakes do not characterize who a man is, nor do other people’s

I chose “Trail of Tears (song)” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YP6NdCZpbbU&list=RDYP6NdCZpbbU#t=0 because everything about it would help paint a picture for those who maybe do not uderstamd how awful the Indians were treated or what the Trail of Tears actually was. The music adds detail, providing a sort of sadness. The words also played a role in painting the picture. It is about the Indians having to leave behind their traditions, their families bones buried in their land, and much more for some sort of “promise land” that whites had waiting for

Marley never got to go home for his farewell concert and his cancer was aggravated by the exhausting trip from Germany to Jamaica. A national hero to Jamaica, the Jamaican Government presented Bob Marley with the Order of Merit, as well a year before his death he was awarded the Medal of peace by the United Nations. At the National Arena in Kingston more than 30,000 people came to his memorial to mourn the death of a beloved musician. In 1994 he was finally immortalized in the music industry by being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. While it’s been decades since Bob Marley sang his last song, his music and values still live on through the legacies he left behind. His fight for human rights continues through the Bob Marley Foundation, which helps people living in developing

I chose the famous and well known song, “I Will Survive,” because it tells me that I will survive the 7th grade and school there after! This song was sung in 1978 by Gloria Gaynor, an African American women. This catchy song was a huge hit during the disco era and has a medium to up beat tempo. “I will survive,” best represents me because I will survive homework, sports, and school work, although at this time in life it does not feel like it! My favorite part of the song is when it says that “Oh, no, not I, I will survive,” because it shows that I will never give up and keep trying new things and that I will pull through. School is like a battlefield, having your ups and your downs. This song is also about friendship, love , broken hearts,

In conclusion , I chose this song because it makes me want to do something nice for humanity; it makes me feel like I can do something nice in different countries and can be remembered for it. While writing this essay someone came to my mind and it was Nelson Mandela, because he can actually relate to this song. He did a great thing in South Africa and he will forever be remembered for changing South Africa and becoming the first black president in South
