    Twenty One Pilots is an alternative/indie band made up of two members, Joseph and Josh Dunn. They are known to occasionally rap and include specific tempos and beats that correspond with each song’s thought provoking lyrics. In the song “Oh. Ms. Believer” by Twenty One Pilots they use the analogy of snow to describe a young girl going through depression. The band accurately describes the feeling of being trapped inside one's mind as they go through the hardships of this mental illness. Although at first this song may be interpreted as another cliché alternative hit, the meanings hidden beneath the lyrics are sure to tug at the listener's heart strings as he/she looks through the eyes of someone who struggles with a loved one who is depressed.…

    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…

    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.…

    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.…

    “Georgia on my mind” is a classical, jazz record that was a hit that shot to number one on the billboards, but the song also was so famous that the state of Georgia had adopted the song as their own. In the 1960s, the civil rights movement was going on and many people were protesting because of how the floor was only for whites-only and they had one section for blacks and he refused to play at his event in Augusta, Georgia. When Ray Charles decided to not perform, the stadium placed a fine on him. He paid the fine and he never performed in the part of Georgia. The song was so popular that many artists tried to duplicate the singer sound and passion in the song.…

    Pink’s “Stupid Girls” is about the way the media portrays women and how that portrayal influences the behavior of women in society. Pink conveys this message through the use of her lyrics and the historical context from the song. When Pink says, “Maybe if I act like that, that guy will call me back”, she seems to be saying that the media sends women the message that the way women in the media communicate with men is the way they should be doing it as well. Women in the media often use their looks to get the attention of men and that is why so many women end up getting plastic surgery; they want to enhance the way they look because they think that looks is all that is important. At one point of the song Pink states, “What happened to the dreams of a girl president? She’s dancing in the video next to 50 Cent.” This shows that women are only viewed as sex symbols and not as serious, determined individuals. By saying this she is pointing out how women in media are only used for the way they look. This gives little girls watching the media the idea that women are only good for their looks. It makes them form their goals around looking pretty; whereas, if they had an image of a strong women running for president then they would want to be something more than someone beautiful. Pink released this song in 2006; in the years leading up to 2006 there were many instances in which the media made women to be seen as jokes. For instance, in 2005 Carl’s Jr. released an ad with Paris Hilton that showed her in a bikini on top of a nice car eating a burger. This further assessed the idea that women were seen as sex symbols. Then there are the incidents in which both Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian came out with sex tapes. This is an example of the negative idea in which Pink was referring to; if little girls see that these women found success or fame in making a sex tape, then they figure that the way to be successful is to use their body not their minds. Pink used all these types…
