Jonathan Cain Analysis
Jonathan Cain
Jonathan Cain went through a crazy, musical life that was a whirlwind. This life was started on February 26, 1950. The mastery of the piano and accordion in his childhood enabled him to get the beat to write the beautiful lyrics in his masterpieces. He now has a lyrical poem based life that came from playing with many different bands. Two of those poems, from when he was with Journey, really stuck out to me with the meaning and beat to the song. Jonathan Cain has a great mind of poetry and the devices needed to be great at that specific art.

Also, with his song Don't Stop Believing, he has created a song that everybody knows and can share with one another as one nation or community.

    The battle of right versus wrong fails to always be obvious. How much simpler would life be if there was only good and only bad with nothing between? The case of John G. Burnett is somewhere between good and bad. He was ordered to condemn thousands of Natives to a death march, killing 4000 along the way. It was not his hand directly that shed their blood, but he did aid the process. This does not make him guilty. The orders he carried out would have been done by another if not he. By carrying out these orders, Burnett provided the Cherokees with someone who understood them and treated them humanly compared to other white men. There was nothing he could do to give them their land back, but he was able to make the trip slightly better so much…

    Much like poetry, “Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent.” Music and poetry are two platforms in which artists from the beginning of time have chosen to circulate their ideas, feelings, and opinions. Although different in popularity, these mediums are alike in various ways. Nonetheless, not every song you hear on the radio can be properly analyzed using procedures that you would follow to evaluate poetry. A song has to contain certain literary elements essential to poetry, such as the song “From Eden” by Hozier, in order for it to be analyzed. Hozier is recognized for his sentimental lyrics and use of poetic elements to add musicality and rhythm to his music. Through symbolism, repetition, and…
