Viva la Vida by Coldplay addresses the topic of regret. The first line of the song describes a man that once ruled the world and controlled the destiny of people across many lands. The song progresses to where this same man finds himself alone, sweeping the streets he used to own. This depicts the story of a man who was once a mighty king that lost his kingdom, possibly to famine or war, losing everything he once had. The main theme of the song is that a King looks back and seems to show regret

Songs and poems often use metaphors. A metaphor makes a comparison between two things. These things may seem very different at first. But the metaphor shows that they have something in common. For example, "he is such a pig" is a metaphor. People might say that when someone eats too much. A metaphor is close to a simile. Similes use words such as "like" and "as." An example of a simile is the phrase "she eats like a bird." That could be used for someone who eats very little. Take a look at the words

Music plays a crucial role in my everyday life. Ever since I was an infant, I have been interested in music. In this essay, I will be focusing on the music genres that I like and how they affect my life. Since, I do not listen to only one music genre, my tastes are fragmented into several categories. I will categorize them by the main themes addressed in the songs. Numerous songs are about upheaval, others are of melancholy, and a couple are about love. Throughout, this work, I will also give examples

From the performance by Act of Congress, I enjoyed their rendition of “Clocks” by Coldplay the most. The original composer was Chris Martin, dating back to 2002 during the early 2000s era (“Clocks (Song).”). The piece is set apart from earlier style periods because, for example, just three years before, the era of the late 90s was mostly grunge while this piece was alternative rock. It is melodic and calming, rather than unnerving and angry. Martin is just a regular person that not only created the

Countless hours of practice had led up to this. I was in 8th grade, and the orchestra concert was just about to start. There was a feeling of excitement in the air, and I was anxiously waiting for the cue. While the concert may not have been very lengthy, the effort that the orchestra, as a whole, put in to make it happen, was immense. Dozens of class periods, and hours of practicing at home to perfect the few pieces of music we were about to proudly show off to the audience. The stage lights were

How do you gain power? I’m sure everyone has thought that before, but has anyone ever thought how or why power is lost? Maybe, but I’d say not many people have. The Scarlet Pimpernel a novel based on the French Revolution, Ozymandias a poem based on an ancient Egyptian leader, and the modern day song Viva La Vida based on a few major past events. These three texts show all the how’s and why’s of powerlessness. In The Scarlet Pimpernel, Ozymandias, and Viva La Vida each author uses personification
