Guns N Roses: Song Analysis
This essay will be a very memorable one as it was based on music and analyzing it. I chose the song “Civil War” by one of my favorite bands, Guns N’ Roses. Analyzing the song was very interesting as I had listened to it several times but I never paid that much attention to every word sung, until now. Therefore, I understood more about the song and made me figure out a deeper meaning that I never knew was there. At the beginning of writing the assignment it was fairly challenging but as soon as I realized where I wanted to go with this essay it gradually became easier. I hope that more essays to come incorporate music as it was almost motivating to do solely based on the reason that it was songs and bands that one appreciates.

    “Talking shit about a pretty sunset,” is a song that portrays an overall apathetic outlook on life. The listener can clearly hear the discontent expressed in the words sung and the execution in the music. Thoughts of suicide, phobia of commitment, lack and gain of motivation, fixation and illusions of a better life are all present. Through the complex breaks and climax of the song, tells an emotional story of revelation, realization and self-actualization.…

    The Goo Goo Dolls music is also relevant to my ever-changing life. The music caused me to do research on the band this lead me to www.robbyslobby.com, which I feel is a poorly designed site. This site is what led me to come back to school to learn website design. I hope that, when I finish my degree, I’ll redesign his website for him. The last way that they have impacted me is that, they can change my mood. Barry Farber in his book Rock ‘n’ Roll Wisdom wrote, “ We…

    Contrary to popular belief, the band Green Day is not just a group of angsty millennials whose solitary intent is to force a migraine onto the whole of conservatist America. The band has a solid reputation when it comes to displaying legitimate forms of protest and education about the ‘blind leading the blind’, so to say, in media representation. In the popular single American Idiot, from the 2004 album American Idiot, Billie Joe Armstrong, along with accompanying members of his band, use fast-paced and violent sounding music to emphasize the thought-provoking lyrics which opinionates that the citizens of America are passively accepting a singular point of view projected by the media and refusing to take part in improving their homeland.…

    The book I chose for the summative essay assignment was “American Sniper” by Chris Kyle. This book is about the courageous and thrilling memoir of the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history. With over 100 documented kills during his four tours of duty, Chris Kyle has shed light on the dangerous brave life of a sniper. During his four tours of duty in the Iraq war he has come close to death and saved countless lives. He changed a lot from just being a country boy and became what he describes as a man. The war really changed his perspective on his civilian life. The significance of the Iraq war was to help free the Iraqi civilians of their dictator, Saddam Hussein, and the radical Islamic insurgents who terrorized the Iraqi’s after the fall of Saddam Hussein.…

    Listen to music day in and day out, I have noticed a varied number of issues within certain lyrics. These issues range from politcal to social to just everyday issues everyone experiences. Singing about these issues is what attracts an audience. When the listener can relate to the words he/she are hearing, the song is more appealing to them. In my personal experience with music, I have found Green Day to be a very influential band. The words they put together in a song, have touched not only me, but I'm sure many others around the world.…

    “How to Save a Life” by The Fray is a song that tells a story about someone going through something hard. The main theme of the song is that even when times are tough and you feel like your losing someone that you should still keep moving on and not let that haunt you. Others around you can give you advice and lead you in the right direction. The writer was trying to describe an experience that hey went through where they really needed someone to understand them, especially when he said “and I pray to god he hears you”. The main chorus, “I lost a friend”, can mean a variety of things. It doesn’t have to mean that she lost a friend, but she lost something that previously meant a lot to her.…

    The song “Stressed Out” sung by Twenty One Pilots is another song that should be played in the film. This song could play in any short story told in June’s perspective, but it relates the most with a scene found in the short story “Two Kinds”. Throughout the entire song, “Stressed Out” gives off a feeling of longing and want; wishing for things they do not seem to have: “I wish I found some better sounds no one's ever heard / I wish I had a better voice that sang some better words / I wish I found some chords in an order that is new / I wish I didn't have to rhyme every time I sang”. The same can be said for June and her mother.…
