Song Analysis: 'Somewhere On A Beach' By Luke Combs

I may have all of the locations in order to write this theory, but I am not entirely sure I can trust what Slade gave. I really want him to die next. In all honesty, I want the final 4 to be Hanna, Adam, Ashnii, and myself, but to get there, I need to figure out how Owen died. We didn't start the fire, that is all the killer, but this is what I believe occurred. I begin singing Spongebob's Campfire Song, but instead of spelling out the word campfire, I spell out "help me" before I begin.

“Stormy Weather” was written in 1933 by Harold Arlen and Ted Koehler and first performed by Ethel Waters at the Cotton Club in Harlem. This song captures the very essence of the Great Depression time period, which is why it was selected as one of the first two songs to be played on the mixtape. With lyrics such as “life is bare, gloom and misery everywhere” can showcase Stormy Weather as a representation of the turmoil United States citizens were facing. Ethel Waters voice and the melody of the music do a great job of translating the lyrics is such a way that listeners can envision and relate to the pain and heartache the song is portraying.

Even though Hank was pushed/encourages to become a country music performer, he enjoys what he does. In result, he is one of the most well known “rock” country singer. He has several top hits and many awards. Some awards include 4 emmys, 10 #1 singles, 13 #1 albums, 20 gold albums, and 6 platinums. Also, he won a grammy award for best album/track “There’s a tear in My Beer”, which was released in 2002.

Robin Thicke’s music video to his song “Blurred Lines” avidly contributes to the patriarchy, while portraying sexism, gender standards, and beauty standards. His music video can be analyzed from a feminist theory approach, as it’s evident that his song and video contribute to a patriarchal society and its inherently sexist and sexualized ideologies. The ideology behind the song and music video is purely sexual and about male dominance. The lyrics to the song and actions in the video exhibit extreme over sexualization and objectification of the women. Analyzing this piece of popular culture through a feminist approach opens up a provoking conversation about how popular culture functions in a patriarchal culture. Analyzing pop culture though a feminist theory can allow for a larger variety and more in-depth analysis about the social aspects and political agenda within popular culture.

For generations, singers and songwriters of country music have been working to evoke emotions in listeners by performing and writing songs that the listeners will be able to relate to. Country music traditionally reveals stories of life, love, death, and values, all of which can be seen in the works of great singers and songwriters like George Strait, Alabama, Brooks & Dunn, and Alan Jackson. One artist in particular, Garth Brooks, forever left his stamp on country music and on the hearts of his millions of listeners with his hit songs, “The Beaches of Cheyenne”, “Callin’ Baton Rouge”, and “The River”. “The Beaches of Cheyenne” has a storyline containing themes of life, death, love, and regret. The themes of this song branch out much

The contribution to music demonstrated by the career of Luke Bryan proves beyond a doubt that the country music singer should be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. His worthiness of this award is shown in his, charity work, the awards he has won and all the achievements he has made, and everyone who has inspired him to become a country music singer in the first place. Bryan would not be where he is today with the support of his wife and 2 kids. Bryan’s parents are peanut farmers and he used to help them when he was in high school. His brother died in a car accident 2 years ago and Bryan and his sister went through a tuff time when that happened. Luke Bryan was born July 17, 1976 in Leesburg, Georgia. Bryan got his first guitar at the age of fourteen and by the age of fifteen he was able to entertain a small crowd. It was all uphill from there. ("Luke Bryan Biography.")

Hollywood, the best place to go to get a shot at being in the spotlight. Weather it be for a career in acting or singing there are many guidelines one must follow to make it to the big-time. In some cases one might have to hide an aspect of themselves in order to achieve their dreams.

Both songs sung by The Weeknd use a variety of different literary in order to give the lyrics a haunting and melancholic feel to the songs as well as to give meaning to them. Within Adaptation, the artist uses personification in order to represent time and the effect it has on the man. “…The afternoon has gently passed me by” is used to try and make the listener imagine the afternoon passing him by which could refer to the man’s time contemplated about the madness he has found within life after the ways he went about pursuing his ambitions. This lyric highlights that even as the days (or nights) go by, tomorrow will be just another day of living which provides a reminder for the listener of his raw feelings on the recount of his life. Within this song another literacy device, hyperbole, is used

This stanza a few repeats of literary devices we've already seen in earlier stanzas. Line 30 has another example of assonance using the words "around" and "frowns". Another repeat of a literary device is in line 33 with internal rhyme; "You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you". There are two examples of metaphors with "the chrome horse" in line 34 and line 35, "who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat". These strange, difficult to understand lyrics are very common in Dylan songs. Sometimes entire songs are made up of these vague metaphors, such as "It's All Right Ma, I'm Only Bleeding," and "It's a Hard Rain That's Gonna Fall".

Every true story ends in death… and this is a true story. Gale sayers is a very good football player, but not very many people know about his backup Brian Piccolo. Brian is a very shy and outgoing man, he will not stop even when he wants to. Gale sayers is a shy man, he does not talk very much, unless it is to brian. The story Brian's Song is about a white and black football player as friends, going through the thick and thin, the ups and downs, and when you just need each other.

All throughout the summer a song was constantly blasting through speakers singing about blurred lines, but what lines are being blurred?

It's been about one and a half weeks since I last seen Sharon so we started off by practicing the alphabet. Then we went over all of the numbers (well not all of them but 1-1000) we went over everything that was on my board because Sharon wanted to know if my board was actually helping me or not. After that, we practiced the song. I still can't sign to the song while it is playing because the lyrics move too fast for me. But I memorized all the words to the song so I say them while i'm signing which is slightly slower than the song but It is all about the progress. We went over the song over ten times and she taught me some of the words that I have been signing incorrectly. I learned the whole song and I memorized the words so I can practice.

The author begins the chapter "It's More Than Just Rain or Snow" by explaining what mood the quote "It was a dark and stormy night" creates. He explains how weather is never placed in a story for no reason. Weather is a factor used to create a mood in the passage. "A sunny day with no clouds in sight..." will create a happy mood while the reader could be imagining themselves in the story being outside on a beautiful clear day with the sunshine hitting them just right. That could put anyone in a cheerful mood, right? If the author started a story with "The rain was beating down on the roof as I realized it had been my first night without him...". Now obviously if the character had just lost someone they would be sad but adding rain to the scene adds the effect of sadness and allows the reader jump in the book to feel what the character is feeling.
