The song I chose is called “Ring of Fire” by Johnny Cash and the topic of this song is love. The theme of the song argues about love and how it can make our lives for the better or for the worst.

Frank Ocean once said, “When you 're happy, you enjoy the music. But when you 're sad, you understand the lyrics.” Why does one have to be sad to “understand the lyrics”?

He can spend hours circling the parking lot looking for a spot near the store or he can easily park a few yards away and get some exercise.

Johnny Cash left a legacy behind after he passed away. He left his name shining on a bright golden plate. On his story it shows me how hard he tried. How he recorded songs and kept trying to get a recording from a studio. It shows me how hard I will have to try.
Citizen: An American Lyric by Claudia Rankine is a hybrid and communal text constructed out of varying poetic form accompanied by contrasting imagery, and historical events. Rankine, although the author of this text is not necessarily its narrator. She plays with prospective, switching the fundamental meaning of “you” and pulls from the personal experiences of her friends, colleagues, and surrounding community. Rankine is able to incorporate “an emphasis on impressionism and subjectivity in [her] writing”, blur the line between various genres, and “[reject] … elaborate formal aesthetics in favor of minimalist design”, which are the pillars of postmodern works (Klages).

Willie Nelson’s September Song describes how time gets faster each day. Constantly throughout the song, Nelson describes these days in the autumn season as “Special days” and how they dwindle down every second. One piece of lyric really gets to me: “ Oh, it 's a long long while From May to December But the days grow short When you reach September.” This really gets to me because I remember the days where I woke in the morning and it was dark, and when I got out of school in the early afternoon, it only took an hour to get dark again.
