Not only is this song considered by both fans and critics as the strongest song off Relapse‚ but “Beautiful” is the only song Eminem actually recorded during the hiatus between albums Encore and Relapse when he was not clean. His emotions here in this song are clear to me: The addiction to drugs is sinking him into depression‚ and he feels trapped‚ as if there is no escape. Rehab

Mozart’s opera‚ Don Giovanni‚ provides us with many different characters to compare and contrast. One scene in particular lends itself

What is the matter with today’s youth? I am referring to the way our young children parade themselves around in public‚ basically naked‚ flaunting their unmentionables. What is this world coming to; the old ways of being conservative and saving the rest for fantasy has flown out the window.
