1. Don’t Rain on My Parade / Barbra Streisand This song was written by Jule Styne(composer) and Bob Merrill(lyricist). After some research, I knew that this song was first used in a musical Funny Girl in 1964, and naturally, used in movie version of this musical in 1968. The composer Jule Styne was famous for a series of Broadway musicals. In his career, he used to be a vocal coach, however, he was fired and told should write songs because “that’s forever”. Then he started to make a living on this and even made a lot of wonderful work especially songs for movies and musicals which were really forever. Personally speaking, I think nobody’s gonna say that the song is not necessary after listening to this song. Simply reading the text, I know this lyrics want to show a girl’s optimism and confidence, however, without song, the block text is kind of monotonous. I mean, the song with emotional ups and downs perfectly brings the audience’s heart up and down and let them experience the optimism which the singer expresses at the top point at the end of this song. …show more content…

The Funny Girl shows a girl who was just an insignificant stage-struck teen, and after unremitting effort, she finally became a super Broadway star. However, she couldn't control the relationship and her husband going worse because her husband’s arrest for gambling. This song Don't Rain on My Parade was sung twice at the end of Act I(she married her husband) and the end of Act II(she broke up with her husband but resolved to pick up her life again). If we just listen to this song not knowing anything about this musical, we may only know how this girl is enthusiastic about singing and life, but we’ll never know what this girl experienced and learned from life, and what made her pick up her love to songs and life. Therefore, it cannot stand on its

An important aspect of both music and communication is making your thoughts relatable. Making something relatable will allow your audience to connect and care about it more knowing that they have felt similar things. Everyone has regrets and think about the past, lost loves, and reminisce about the good ole days of our past. Nostalgia is a powerful tool utilized by artist typically to provide listeners with memories and allow them to empathize with the work. This song makes me reflect on a time where I once made a mistake with someone I was romantically interested.

Music can be considered one of the most influential forms of expression within society. By exploring itself through the different senses such as sight, sound and feel, music can guide a person’s feelings through a broad array of emotions. Certain songs may even hold a special place in one’s heart.

The concept is something that I would really argue stand outs within getting parts in the theatre world, and Val accepts her decision unapologetically. I know I have a friend specifically that struggled getting a lead role simply because she was short and not as slender as the rest she was up against and it really upset her. This song overall gives an insight into how Val thinks and who her character is and while most might argue that it is disgusting or appalling to get work done in order to succeed, if it makes her happy I see nothing wrong with it. This song furthered along her story that she provided to the director and she approached it with such confidence that is needed in order to stand out. This song served to set Val apart from the rest in whatever way it took to do

He realizes that the money and fame didn’t bring him the happiness he desired. To gain true happiness, he needed to appreciate himself and those that love him.

Beyond its role in the greater context of the plot, the song itself plays around with JFKDSLFJSDKLFJ. Lyrically, the song is quite bland. In particular, its imagery is clichéd: wedding bells, birds, roses, etc. However, this makes sense for someone who has fell in love for the first time. In addition, the repetition of the line “Till there was you” creates a lyrical base to which the previous line, referring to not being able to appreciate symbols of live, can return.
