Stolen Dance Analysis
Milky Chance is a sensational musical artist. Throughout his song, “Stolen Dance”, he uses depressing yet very upbeat music. Stanza two, three, five, six, seven, and eight are all upbeat. While stanza one and four are both sad. Analyzing the depressing parts first is more efficient in order to understand the rest of the song. In stanza one Chance talks all depressing about how he needs the women he cares about. For example, when Chance says, “I want you by my side so that I never feel alone again”, states that he needs the love of his life in order not to feel alone. Also, when Chance says, “They’ve always been so kind”, he’s talking about her parents. The reason her parents fit into that scenario is because parents have the authority to keep

    During Monday’s class, we focused on Isadora Duncan’s perception of modern dance and dance in general. Her perception of dance was to use it as a mechanism to search our inner souls and find its connectedness with nature (Brown 7). We began an exercise concentrating solely on our breaths. Since Duncan believed in liberation and individuality, breathing is an action that we all individually own and is used as a tool to access our inner thoughts and our souls. During the breathing exercises, I fell into a deep state of meditation, focusing on the subtle inhales and exhales of my breath, and eventually felt invigorated afterwards. With each breath, I felt a release of this uninvited ball of negative energy, which had itself wrapped inside my core,…

    As a young teenager, I am unfamiliar with Fred Astaire and his work. However, upon watching his famous ceiling dance video, I was quite amazed by his talents. Throughout the video, Fred presented very classy, elegant, and smooth movements that captivated my interest in his style of dance. I honestly don’t know about the quality of dance in the 1950s, but it seems appropriate to say that Fred Astaire’s style of dancing was unique and intriguing, at the least, for his time. What I found to be one of the most compelling features about the video, was of the time period in which the dance was filmed- the 1950s. It seems that the video incorporates a remarkable amount of filming talent and qualities. The fact that, during that time period, the film…

    In the article “Clean Up the Dance Halls” Elisabeth Perry examines the age of the Progressive Era and the efforts by the reformers to get rid of unregulated dance halls. Perry adds how dance halls that provided “stylish drinks” and guaranteed popularity influenced many innocent girls to leave their households to embrace a life of alcohol, unmoral dancing, and eventually sexually relations with strangers. Perry also adds how the girls could not resist a man's love despite it meaning that they would loose their “girlhood.” One of the prominent reformers during this time was Belle Israels who sought to protect girls from being “played with” and sought to put an end to dance halls. As a result, the Progressive Era stirred together different social issues which usually led to controversy and tension as seen in the dance hall reform.…

    Golden Dancer was a rocking horse that Drummond got for his birthday as a child. Golden Dancer was expensive and beautiful. However, Golden Dancer broke when Drummond jumped into the saddle and rocked. In that moment, he learned that Golden Dancer was all looks and no substance or quality. It taught him to always look deeper if something seems too good to be true. Also, if something is, in fact, a lie felt the need to expose it. “ Bert, whenever you see something bright, shining, perfect-seeming- all gold, with purple spots- look behind the paint! And if it’s a lie- show it up for what it really is!”(Lawrence and Lee, 110). That quote, said by Drummond, shows how he learned that outer beauty is not always the truth, and it is what is on the…

    Comparing the music video of Whitney Houston – I Wanna Dance With Somebody and Keri Hilson – Slow Dance, after watching Whitney Houston’s video you see how funky, hip, and fun this video is. A family could watch this and laugh and dance to it where as in this next video, it is for the older generation. Now after watching Keri Hilson’s video you can see how the R&B technique has completely changed. Keri Hilson’s video is completely sexually and blunt where as Whitney is all about fun and hanging out. This is what I mean by R&B music having a huge influence on the younger generations. With all the “new” R&B music having a such a negative toll on our younger generation we have no choice but to accept the fact that all these things such as teen…

    Genereaux chose a song that was a good representation of their daughter. The song A New Day Has Comei by Celine Dion has a part that says “Hush now I see a light in the sky/Oh it's almost blinding me/I can't believe I've been touched by an angel with love”. The song talks about pain that someone experiences and knowing that if they wait everything will be ok. This to me is an expression with music on how they feel about their daughter. Also in the song it says “When it was dark now there's light/Where there was pain now's there's joy/Where there was weakness I found my strength/All in the eyes of a boy”. Even though the song talks about a boy, again they use it for their daughter brings joy to them even through pain. And the fact that the song is used with the dance is tremendous to me.…
