Song Relate To The Truman Show
This song can relate to Truman and the Truman show. I know this because many people from the outside world hope that Truman will try his best to escape the dome and find his way to the real world. Those who want him to escape feel like Christof is being unfair to Truman, so they attempt to stop him, but unfortunately they learn that only Truman can save himself. Hope is what inspires Truman to continue on through his journey. Many people hope that Truman will find a way out finally be happy.

    The 59 Sound Analysis Essay

    At first I thought that the music was not in tandem with these lyrics at all. The lyrics have such depression in them at first while the music itself is so peppy and upbeat. I could not understand how they worked together. That for me was the site of struggle. Hegemonic norms tell us that songs about death and sadness should be slow and heavy. This song has such energy to it and resists hegemonic norms so that it couldn’t possibly fall into the category of death. I listened to the song a few more times and I realized that the song was not just a sad retelling of a story, but it is a memorial of…

    Tom Brennan Journey

    This song gives the story of one young man who through the outbreak of war takes a new path which ultimately leads him to Vietnam fighting for his country. As is “the story of Tom Brennan” the main character experiences a fear of what lies ahead but rather than the clique fear of death and destruction which the character seems reasonably naive to it is rather a fear of the ramifications and aftermaths of an event that changes the young mans life for ever. “And I can still hear Frankie, lying screaming in the…

    Rhetorical Devices In Bohemian Rhapsody

    The song starts out with a strang questioning of reality: “Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, No escape from reality, Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see”. They first two lines are rhetorical questions. They help establish the state of mind needed in order to continue with the song. The third line is a metaphor. It means everything is crashing down on him, and he cannot escape it. It seems to conclude that he is caught between a dream and awakening. The next couple set of lines are being used as transitions into the main part of stanza one, “I’m just a poor boy, I need no sympathy, Because I’m easy come, easy go, Little high, little low, Any way the wind blows, Doesn’t really matter to me, to me”. In the third and fourth line repetition is used in order to keep the lyrics flowing. The boy thinks his life doesn’t matter to anyone, his life is meaningless and the Earth does not care what happens to him. He does not care what happens next, he just wants it over; “any way the wind blows” him, he will go and it “doesn’t really matter” to him anymore. The next three lines show intent to kill by the boy, “Mama, just killed a man, Put a gun against his head, Pulled my trigger, now he’s dead”. The boy has finally come to terms of what he has…

    The men are hopeful that even though “it’s raining” on then that one day “the sun will come out” and they will be able to go home to their loved ones. I feel that this song is a way to give them hope in seeing their families and it’s sending a message that even though it’s stormy out the sun always comes out.…

    He made this song so that his daughter (Hailie) and Niece of which he has legal custody of (Lainnie) which he also calls his daughter, could understand what had happened and to tell them that with all that has happened both him and their mother still loved them very much even if they didn’t love each other anymore. And that they have always got to keep their head up, keep moving forward even when things are getting worse.

    The Truman Show Cochabamba

    The Truman Show Cochabamba

    The idea of the reality show Cochabamba is very interesting. It reminds me of a movie called The Truman Show (1998) with Jim Carrey where he is born and raised inside this dome and led to believe he was a normal person when in reality his family and friends were all just actors and that he has been the unknowing star of ‘The Truman Show’. However in Cochabamba almost nobody knows they are being filmed. The strategically placed cameras capture everyday events, but also catch some very interesting or sometimes disturbing situations. The cameras capture bank embezzlement, bribery of policemen, a priest killing a swallow in his bare hands, and adultery. This raw visual aid to everyday life is what makes this show interesting to viewers. Seeing people do unspeakable things and getting to know about these secrets, is what draws viewers in. The author of…

    The Role Of Gospel Music In Hip Hop Cinema

    This song does not have a ton of concrete lyrics which can be related to finding redemption. However, there is one recurring lyric that can related to the idea of finding redemption in life. That particular lyric would be “It makes me wonder how I keep from going under” (AZ Lyrics). This lyric is repeated throughout the song and really says something about the determination of African American and inner-city communities. It shows determination because even with all the problems that are referred to in the song that are being faced, they are still persevering and not “going under”. Another way of finding redemption was outlined in the reading by Craig Watkins. In that reading it was consistently mentioned how African American communities were looked at as the reason for the downfall of inner-city communities. Even though they were looked at in a distasteful way, the African American communities persevered and found redemption by creating a life for…

    The forth stanza conveys again the feeling of hope, the narrator is counting on the great “what ifs” of life. “If I can only believe again, if I put my hope into medication, or I achieve a certain amount of fame by talking on the television, or perhaps I’ll achieve inner piece introspection by walking an empty mile, I’ll be able to battle fear, and with these achievements, finally conquer fear. I’ll never be afraid anymore,…

    Gen Ed

    Backstory: Okay so there is actually a little story behind this meaningful song. Isaac Slade, the lead singer of the band attended a camp for troubled teens and he was a mentor there. At the camp, Slade met a boy who was dealing with a drug problem. This song is talking about all the people who tried to reach out to the boy but was unsuccessful. The people around the boy only knew how to say things like, “Quit taking drugs and cutting yourself or I won’t talk to you again.” The boy was losing his friends and was dealing with depression and they just didn’t realize that what the boy needed was a listening ear and a lot of moral support.…

    Led Zeppelin's Simple Song Meaning

    The main goal of living on this earth is to not only get yourself into heaven, but help others reach heaven. It is not something that can be bought, sold or won, it is earned through everyday actions. During the period of when this was released, in 1971, money was tight for most people due to the great inflation throughout the 1970's. This song still resonates today because money is a considerable factor in how we live our lives. Most people pick jobs due to how much money they will earn, not what brings them happiness or their peaks their interests. This theme seems to be universal because unfortunately most of our dreams can't be fulfilled unless we have some source of steady income from jobs that aren't in the person's…

    Poor Man Rich Heart Figurative Language

    Although this song is distorted because of the use of figurative language called metaphor, there is no doubt that “Danny’s Song” by Kenny Loggins tells of the promises that parents are making to their son (topic sentence). Loggins shows the amount and fluidity of love that the parents will pour over this child by using metaphor, which is simply an image used to convey another idea (assertion). Loggins displays in a comforting style the affection that the parents want to provide for their child when they say, “…And everything will bring a chain of love...” (Loggins) {support}. This single line exhibits s a lifetime of promised to this child, or to anyone to whom it is addressed because it bares the essence of knowing that…
