Superpower Beyonce Analysis
In Beyonce music video, “Superpower” it is all about love and being in a relationship. Beyonces lyrics in this song are extremely strong, the first couple of words set up the theme for the rest of the song. As she sings “When the palm of my two hands hold each other, that feels different from when your hands are in mine, that’s just the way it is.” Beyonce is saying how different it feels to be in a relationship than it feels to be single. This could also mean that her two palms that are held together is her praying to get that relationship to where they will be able to hold hands together and be happy. This is all about her and her love life, or the love life that she has dreamed of and is just waiting for it to come true. She may pray ever

    Many terms come to mind when thinking about the independent (“indie”) film industry. Low-budget, inexperienced actors, non-commercialized, and shallow plotline. However, there are several major stylistic aspects of independently produced films that define the genre in comparison to films that are produced by large production companies. When producing an independent film, the director is not inhibited by the limitations the larger companies have. Without these limitations, the directors can usually get away with more grotesque images. This means that they can break some of the normal rules of filming in order to amplify certain features shown. This aspect is one of the pillars that plays a large part of what independent films result in;…

    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…

Audre Lorde , in her essay ‘ The transformation of silence into Language and Action’, tell her history of how she has come believe over and over again that what is most important to her “must be spoken, made verbal and shared, even at the risk of having it bruised or misunderstood”(“The Transformation of Silence” 1977). This statement relates with me in a particular way.

    “Don’t Hurt Yourself” was the type of song that could leave any true Beyoncé fan a bit shocked. Usually she is not so blatantly vulgar and instead keeps a cleaner image, but that all went south with this particular music video. In the “Anger” portion of Lemonade, Beyoncé allows herself to be genuinely angry in such an unapologetic way. For once, a black woman has let herself feel all of her rage from the lens of a black woman herself, instead of through the eyes of an onlooker who does not live the same experience. In the “Intuition” portion of of Lemonade before the song “Hold Up”, the poetic lines describe how, “In the tradition of men in my blood, you come home at 3 a.m. and lie to me. What are you hiding? The past and the future merge to meet us here. What luck. What a f*cking curse.” This prompted the discussion of the way that black love exists and functions for me. Due to the horrors of the past, the way we experience our love has been damaged and altered to such a point that we as black women feel as though we have to accept any type of treatment from the one we truly love. It has become such a deep…
