They also happen to be one of my all-time favorite bands. Their music consists of such depth, it is some of the greatest poetry I’ve ever heard, and it’s so relatable because they have dealt with and experienced everything that they discuss in their songs. The topics included in their music are issues such as anxiety, depression, and loneliness, but also the gradual journey toward recovery and reaching happiness- even if those negative things still exist inside.

The director, Diane Martel, uses different techniques such as, lyric, camera angles, and the positioning of the audience, to create a controversial music video to make a profit. The director utilizes the

Hitting the Books “There is a house in New Orleans, they call the Rising Sun, it’s been the ruin of many poor boys, and God I know I’m one” Once I heard the song “House of the Rising Sun” was a classic, in fifth grade, I immediately wanted to learn it to impress my father. That was cut short when I reviewed the song, and heard the lyric “and God I know I’m one.” Of course, I heard the lyric as “And God knows I’m one,” but that didn’t stop me from thinking that God seemed to be a bit overwhelming

Yet, it is never a problem. Within one hour after its release, “Drag Me Down” has topped the iTunes in 55 countries fulfilling the boy’s goal of wanting the song make an impact on its own without the

musically interesting songs that I have ever listened to and it is my favorite song as well. In terms of musicality, one thing that stands out is the rhythm. There are parts of this song, and much of Blake’s other music, in which the beat and the background music do not exactly match up. In the first few seconds of the song, the instrumental track is off the beat very slightly a few times. Right off the bat, James Blake makes you feel almost uncomfortable. Listening to the song, it feels like the rhythm

Most of humanity listens to music for the beats, but how many listen for the meanings of these songs? There can be songs with a happy message, or there can be depressing message. Colors by Halsey and I Hate You I Love You by Gnash have a remarkable message that make them similar and different. In the same way, Colors and I Hate You I Love You have a similar meaning in heartbreaks. “Everything is blue. His pills, his hands, his jeans. And now I'm covered in the colors.

Different songs can have different intentions on what message they are trying to send to the listener. As the listener, they are the only ones who interpret what they think about the song or if they like it or not.

Beyonce’s works including Run the World (Girls), Single Ladies, and If I Were a Boy, all share the common theme of empowering women. In her most recent anthem for womankind, Formation, Beyonce

should have known the music video for the video would ensue the same kind of emotion. I personally feel a very strong connection to this song, so when Sam Smith announced that “Lay Me Down” would be his next music video, my expectations were high. The video begins with eerie silence, the camera focused on Smith’s back; as the camera slowly comes around Smith, the song begins playing. When the camera finally gets to Smith’s face, you realize he is standing in front of a church full of people holding

There are certain aspects of all songs that help convey it’s meaning. This could include metaphors, similes, imagery, and symbolism. These all enhance the overall theme and mood of the song as well. In the song “Come Sail Away” by Styx, it talks about how in life, there are times when it is easier to give up, to stop trying, and to stop living life. Through using certain literary devices, the artist conveyed these messages in a more effective and enhancing way. In particular, “Come Sail Away” comprises
