The strategy allows Joseph to connect with his intended audience by demonstrating lyrics which then are able to relate with because one who actually pertains to real life situations will perceive on the meaning and symbolism upon these words. These are referring to the consequences of acting in the world and somewhat of what you or another person may feel like at the time depending on the situation he/she is in.

In Sydney J. Harris’ essay, “Blasting Music to Drown Out Reality”, the thesis argues that people listen to music to distort their current life endeavors as stated explicitly in paragraph 5. As seen in paragraph nine, the author employs a few examples of a reference to authority to convey this message.

In this essay, he refers to several renown composers such as Bach, Mozart and Beethoven.

In my opinion, I think that the main point of the words and lyrics in the “Bad Blood” is the betrayal and how it changed the relationship. As what she was mentioned more than once, “You made a really deep cut, and now we got a bad blood” (Taylor Swift).

This happens, for instance, when she is wearing black and having the knife because she suffered from something, and this color refers to violence and hate. Based on that, I can say that the music video complements the song in a direct way.

In Katy Perry’s song “Firework” similes and metaphors are used to enhance the songs overall theme of overcoming adversity to show ones genuine personality of creativity and strength. The song opens with the simile “Do you ever feel like a plastic bag, drifting through the wind” (FW), setting up the counterargument that the person-her audience- is sad and alone. A plastic bag is a manufactured item people throw away after one use or leave in the cabinet unwanted for months. A person being directly compared to this would feel empty and used as well as unwanted. This simile is opposite from the rest of the song, which is happy and uplifting, setting up the idea that this person needs to be filled with emotion as a plastic bag would be filled

Cole follows every pain filled verse with a hook that vastly differs in emotion. His voice has lost all of it’s resent filled fury and the listeners are left with whimpers of defeat.

The only notable change throughout the song comes during the third verse when J.cole seems to calm down.
Some times we just want to start over again and the song perfectly portrays that.

Introduction Roger’s and Hammerstein’s The Sound of Music is arguably one of the most well known films that many can admit to watching at least once in their lifetime. People all around the world have found this musical inspiring, as it documents growth and hope amidst the horrors of World War II.

The lyrics of the song demonstrate the theme of standing up for yourself and not letting what others say get to you through literary devices.
