American Rock Band: Imagine Dragons
The song ‘’Demons’’, is by an American rock band, named Imagine Dragons. Imagine Dragons is a band originated in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2008. This song was written in 2012, in the album Night Visions. Demons is the third single released in the album. The reason why I choose this song is because it has many deep messages and tells the audience about the true reality. The band consists of 4 members: Daniel Reynolds, Daniel Sermon, Daniel Platzman and Ben Mckee. Daniel Coulter Reynolds is the lead singer of the group, Imagine Dragons. He was born on July 14th 1987 in Las Vegas. He is currently 28 years. Daniel Wayne Sermon is known as the guitarist in the group. He was born on June 15th 1984 in Utah, United States. He is currently age 31. Daniel …show more content…
The genres they play are alternative rock and pop. Some important life experiences are that they have worked with most lead singers and producers in the music industry. They have worked with Eminem, Arcade Fire and many more. Imagine Dragons had a skywards trajectory, after the album Night Visions arrived to the music industry. An interesting fact is that the name, ‘’Imagine Dragons’’ is an anagram. An anagram is when you rearrange the letters to make a word. Also, the album ‘’Night Visions’’ was the most streamed album in the United States. This song was written because the band wanted to express their feelings, about people lying and hiding secrets. The topic was was very dark and really deep, so it fit perfectly with the album ‘’Night Visions’’. The band dedicated this song to one of their fans, Tyler Robinson. He died at the age of 17, due to cancer. They had international success with the album, Night Visions. They got 1 Grammy, 5 Billboard Music awards, 2 Teen Choice awards and many more. Demons was a No. 1 Billboard pop song hit for 2013 and sold over 5 million copies. They sang in the Grey Cup halftime show in 2014 and won platinum, three times in

    While many of their songs do not feature many lyrics and are mostly synthetic instrumentals, the lyrics that are included are extremely illustrative of Zeds Dead’s social identity. The self- determining lyrics of Zeds Dead tracks parallel Hooks and DC’s independent and easy-going personalities, as they are young and simply exploring the world and enjoying life. In one interview, when Hooks and DC were asked what their three favorite things about touring were, they replied with “Partying, finding cool new food spots, and exploring different cities” (Lex, “Interview with Zeds Dead”). Similarly, these social values are articulated in their song lyrics. For example, in their song “One Time”, which was performed at Fallapalooza at UMD, the lyrics…

    Hailed by many as purely a southern rock band, Lynyrd Skynyrd was not only a success outside the Deep South but gained widespread popularity throughout the country in the 1970’s. Yes, of course much of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s style and sound evolved from there southern roots but that is not strictly who they were or what solely influenced them. After all, it is very difficult to be inducted into the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame if all you appeal to is a very small sect of the music market(Sullivan 1).…

    Over two hundred thirty million copies of the Daniel X series have been sold worldwide. The author James Patterson wrote Daniel X: Demons and Druids in collaboration with Adam Sadler. The publishing date is July 2010.In the book, Daniel X is an alien hunter who is looking for number three on his alien list of outlaws, Phosphorius Beta. “Think of a million or so angry wolves-on fire, that’s a pretty good approximation of number three”, well that’s how Patterson puts it. The epic battle between alien hunter and fire has begun. I enjoyed Daniel X because of the author’s action and how he weaves myths and fiction into the story, but I disliked Patterson’s writing style and several other points of the book.…

    Though this album has a somewhat new sound and all new music, it very much captures the essence of their older albums, including Crash, showing the beautiful and influential songs that the group has been writing and producing for the last twenty-one years. One new song featured in the interview, “Gaucho” is about “[fighting] for what we believe in” among other important ideas. Other songs such as “Sweet” are written about less pressing issues that remain just as influential. As time has gone on, things have changed for the group, and that…

    The legend that is blink-182 started way back in 1992, by Mark Hoppus (bass, vocals), Tom Delonge (guitar, vocals) and Scott Raynor (drums). Origionally just called blink, they were forced to change their name when an Irish techno band also called blink threatened to sue them. Although there are countless rumours of what the 182 stands for, ranging from the number of times certain words are said in movies to numbers that relate to where they live to the number of times that they have performed various sexual acts, the truth is that it is really just a number that they choose pretty much at random and thought sounded good.…

    Demons, on the other hand, seem to be a topic that many refuse to even mention. By refusing to talk about them, we can’t be educated about them. By ignoring them, we can’t recognize if we are dealing with them. If we never talk about them, we are saying that they don’t exist, or they are not relevant. In addition, if we do not address these spiritual bieing and only talk about Satan, then we might communicate a messge that Satan is far more powerful than he reallyis. They are usually depicted as very evil creatures sent to inhibit or harm humankind. It is very rare to see demons represented in any way shape or form as good or beneficial.…

    Blink 182 was comprised of guitarist-vocalist Tom DeLonge, bassist-vocalist Mark Hoppus, and drummer Travis Barker. The band started in San Diego, California while the band members were still in high school. They “first found an audience with the extreme sport crowd and the suburban youth of the United States” (Hightower). The band most likely gained such a big following because they didn’t think it was necessary to write songs…

    Daft Punk

    I have been gathering this information not only from the body of work itself but also from various statements and positions attributed to Daft Punk in interviews (particularly the Japanese interview in which they said they wanted to have an influence beyond a musical influence) even though they never discuss any of this directly. However, I have placed the greatest emphasis on everything since the "accident" and on the work itself to speak for itself over and above any interviews or reviews by other third parties. I have also allowed later work to influence my interpretation of earlier work, so I may perhaps see patterns where none were intended. Oh well, I'm doing it…
