    Ain T That A Shame: Song Analysis

    When a song is as heavily covered as Fats Domino’s “Ain’t That A Shame” from his album Rock and Rollin with Fats Domino you know that there is something special about it. With recording artists such as Pat Boone, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, and even the 1970s rock group, Cheap Trick recording the song many people know at least one version. However the original version has a special something about it that helps it stand out from the many covers. The song has an enticing hook, interesting historical context, and is an earworm that was with me for several days after I first heard the song.…

    Esperanza starts the vignette with saying how she will most likely go to hell. Her mother puts her down as well as herself. She has told her that she was born on an evil day and that her, Lucy, and Rachel all pray for her as she says, “Most likely I will go to hell and most likely I deserve to be their. My mother says I was born on an evil day and prays for me. Lucy and Rachel pray too”(58). Esperanza relates herself to her aunt that was a fantastic swimmer one day and very sick the next.

    In Sweet Soul Music Summary

    On October 27, 2016, Vanderbilt University gathered three of popular music’s top writers and biographers to discuss the state of music scholarship. Towards the end of the discussion, Dylan Goes Electric and Escaping the Delta author Elijah Wald interrupted the proceeding to personally and publicly thank his co-panelist Peter Guralnick. According to Wald, Guralnick in his two volume biography transformed Elvis Presley from a bloated and bedazzled caricature lazily revising his past on the glitzy stages in Las Vegas back into a relevant figure in both music and American history. Additionally, Guralnick’s overviews of certain genres of music’s provided not only the template for future music historians, but placed popular and vernacular music…

    The Breakfast Club Song Analysis

    The breakfast club has one of the most unique and memorable soundtracks of all time. Something that made the movie gave it such a memorable track and the movies “theme song”, "Don't You (Forget About Me)" by the band Simple minds. Something that the movie did that not none to many movies had done at that point. They used this song twice, once at the beginning at once at the end. The two times this song is played in this movie, each function is shown. It shows genre because the movie was release in 1985 and this is around the time new wave music (the song’s genre) became popular. It sets the mood both at the beginning and at the end of the movie. It sets mood at the beginning because of the tempo and rhythm makes…

    My Shara Song Analysis

    In 1979, The Knack performed one of their hit singles “My Sharona” in front of a packed house. This song represented the alternative/pop rock genre, and was considered a major hit in the late 1970s. As a child, I remember hearing the song on the radio and I enjoyed the catchy and memorable tune. Although I did not quite understand the lyrics at the time, my dad listened to it often when he worked in the garage. This essay will first describe a variety of important musical characteristics that are displayed within the performance. Next, it will discuss how this song was a launchpad for a future song that became just as popular a few years later. Lastly, before providing my own personal critique, I will discuss how the song assisted The Knack with getting back together nearly 20…

    From Eden Poem Analysis

    Hozier seamlessly ties in repetition and parallelism to simplify the message he is attempting to communicate. The main part of the song in which the listener can easily detect parallelism is in the third stanza: “No tired sighs, no rolling eyes, no irony/ no ‘who cares’, no vacant stares, no time for me” (7-8). Here, the word “no” is repeated to further emphasize the fact that the artist does not want to have to deal with these signs of hardship in his relationship with this new woman. Another example of repetition is Hozier’s use of the word “babe.” “Babe” is repeated in the song a total of four times. At plain sight it can be seen simply as filler word; however, the placement of the word reveals a deeper reason for its inclusion. Hozier deliberately only uses the word “babe” to start lines in which he says something negative about the relationship. The song begins with, “Babe, there’s something tragic about you” (1). Aforementioned, this line has a negative connotation to it despite beginning with a word of adoration. This creates contradiction in his writing. Another instance in which this is used is in line 13 with, “Babe, there’s something wretched about this,” where the same explanation applies. By following “babe” with these negative descriptions, Hozier…

    Dixie Chicks Analysis

    Singing the Star Spangled Banner at the 2003 Super Bowl was a true honor for Natalie Mines and all members of the Dixie Chicks. Their faces glittered with excitement, knowing that most American’s were watching their tribute to our Nation. The Dixie Chicks consisted of two sisters and a good friend, creating a unity of sisterhood. Weeks after their heartfelt performance in March 2003 the lead singer of the Dixie Chicks Natalie Maines, a mother, a wife, a citizen, and a liberal, blurted out at a concert in London, “Just so you know, we’re ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas.” Natalie knew our country was just about ready to invade Iraq.

    Bro Country Song Analysis

    Prominent protest songs of the 21st century are often found in genera’s containing boldly outspoken and poetically powerful lyrics such as contemporary rap and hip hop. However, a female country duo who debuted their first album in 2015 is stirring the gender inequality pot by crafting their music with brutal honesty. Maddie and Tae, two twenty-one year olds from Nashville, Tennessee, have dampened the burning fire in modern country music, referred to as “Bro Country.” These two ladies have taken a stance with their hit track, “Girl in a Country Song,” rebelling against the norms of society and shedding light on gender inequality through the power of protest music.…

    J. Cole's Love Yourz Analysis

    One of my favorite songs, recently, has been J. Cole’s Love Yourz. This song relate to feelings that we can all relate to, feelings of envy and jealously. We often look at the life styles of those around us, and we see what they have, and we compare ourselves to them. We feel that if we don’t live a certain life style or drive a fancy car that we are not living a purposeful life. We fall into the trap of focusing on others blessings and ignoring our own. From personal experience I have done this. I have looked at the blessing of others, and wondered why my blessings were not the same.…

    This Kiss Song Analysis

    There are wires growing out of everyone’s ears. That is, to listen to music. Music is an infinite source, whether that source is for lifting up spirits, expressing underlying pain and anger, or just merely a distraction. Music from well-developed Broadway musicals to a series of beats at a party, it is something we all have done: listen to music. Some even say that music defines us but it that really true? Is our music the soundtrack of who we each are? Do what we listen to support our core values in life? To answer this I sought out the one song I listened to most, “This Kiss” by Alex Days and Carrie Hope Fletcher, and interpreted its lyrics to see if it matched with my core values of commitment, happiness, and love.…
