“How to Write a Song” by Allyson Jones Think back to the last time you heard your favorite song. You plant your headphones on, close your eyes, and completely immerse yourself in the music.

Kendrick Lamar has lyrics that are hard, but within those lyrics is a description of his childhood which was even harder.To provide some background on Kendrick Lamar, he grew up in Piru territory of Compton, also know as Bompton. His parents both used drugs, and listened to many different types of music ranging from, “Jazz and blues to gangsta rap.” Any hip hop fan should be familiar with Kendrick’s name, they should also be familiar with his music. The fact that Kendrick Lamar isn’t being recognized
thought of country music, however many others, along with artists, love the sound of country music. As Maren Morris beautifully serenades in her hit,"My Church", "I find my soul revival, singing every single verse. Yeah, I guess that 's my church." This song is about how listening and singing country music relaxes her and makes her forget about all of her problems. I feel the exact same way, though I had
social justice and women empowerment. Besides the entertainment from the album, the visuals, lyrics, and Beyonce’s tone from each track were also satisfying. Visuals have a huge impact on a song. It’s a “visual representation of the music.” Visuals allows listeners to see the mood and the purpose of a song. Beyonce’s Hold Up music video starts off with a very gloomy and dull color scheme.

Break-Up Songs Throughout Different Genres What does Paris by The Chainsmokers, Say Something by A Great Big World, and Here Comes Goodbye by Rascal Flatts all have in common?

fourteen songs I concluded that the amount of profanity used in each song is sky rocketing high, in the song “If I should die” in the first twenty second I counted six profanities used. The amount of horrible language used at times can easily distract the real message trying to be conveyed and more importantly in my case drift the listener in counting the amount of vulgarity used instead of enjoying the music.

Jon Bellion is the character in his own album and his journey from a child to an adult and a nobody to a celebrity is the primary focus throughout most of his songs. The journey of himself through the songs is what makes the lyrics interesting. The general understanding is that Bellion wishes to portray himself as unique but humble. The pressures he feels from society and the pressures of his childhood are prominent in the understanding
to be a love song playing somewhere. These types of songs can seem upbeat and happy, but that is just the music playing behind the lyrics.

I chose the song Changes by David Bowie because everyone goes through changes and this song has certain aspects that are ironically relatable to my life.
