Song Analysis: The Hope Song
Rationale

The content of “The Hope Song” relates to part 2. By communicating through media with the use of music, we show awareness of politics and the state of the Proles with propaganda.

The title of the song is “The Hope Song”, but it's ironic because the word “hope” is not present in the song besides the title. The use of “Card Stacking” is a propaganda technique that is in use for this song, which is

    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…

    In the midst of mourning and healing after the death of two beloved band members, The Allman Brothers Band released the album ‘Brothers and Sisters’ on August 1st in 1973. During the recording of the band’s previous album ‘Eat a Peach’ in 1971 Duane Allman, the lead guitarist and co-founder of the band, died tragically in a motorcyle accident. Heartbreakingly, the band had to endure the death of another bandmate, Berry Oakley at the age of 24. Much like the death of Duane Allman, Berry died mid-recording of the album ‘Brothers and Sisters’ due to a motorcycle accident just a few blocks away from where Duane’s accident occurred. Berry Oakley’s talent remained on the first two tracks of the album, ‘Wasted Words’ and ‘Ramblin’ Man’.…

    My selected theme song I believe personally portrays my attitude and outlook towards life is the song titled “What Can I do” by Tye Tribette. Composed by two individuals (Angelo Mincey and Kj Scriven), this song is one of many on his album titled “Greater than” which was released in 2013.

    The concert took place in a musical auditorium. It was just like almost every band concert, on a stage with the lights above the seats being off and all the lights on the band. It was a very formal concert because everyone in the band was wearing nice clothes. The atmosphere was serious and the performers took their performance very seriously. Since I watched this concert virtually, I wasn’t able to see the audience during the concert, but I’m assuming that the audience was dressed formally.…

    There are wires growing out of everyone’s ears. That is, to listen to music.

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.…
