Song Theme Practice

Think of a song that has a strong message to it (that is not violent or sexual). Tell me the name of the song, the message, and give me one sentence from the song that shows the message. Be sure to explain how the song shows the message. Your response should be at least ten sentences long.

    "In the end", by Linkin park is that a person tried so hard but everthing felt apart. He got far but in the end it does not matter. He fought so hard but in the end it did not matter. Despite the difficulties the person had tried to overcome difficulties that came in his way. This song depits how a person feels when they did their best to be successful but then they failed.The person goes into depression because hes overwhelmed by the problems. But no matter how many times the person stood up, he felt down. But in the end he kept remembering the moments that he felt that way. Nothing matter when he tried he always failed and was not successful no matter how many times he tried. Problems overcome and in the end a person becomes depressed instead of looking for solutions.

    The song that I pick is "Loser Like Me." "'Cause I know one day you'll be screming my name and I'll just look away that's right, just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth". This is about people that have problems at school and the only way they can actually pay back is by singing their songs. But the people beating them up think they are even bigger losers when they sing their songs. It's also about them paying them off when they get a better education or maybe even being a superstar. But what I think is cool about them is that they dom't talk about beating them back. They take their maddest by singing or by talking. Also they only pay back them by words and they say not to get them ack just go your own ways.

  4. One of the songs that has a message that I like is a song call “Fly” by Rihanna. The message of the song is “Everybody wanna try to box me in suffocating every time it locks me in paint they own pictures than they crop me in but I will remain where the top begins cause I am not a word, I am not a line I am not a girl that can every be defined”. I like that message because it says that people might think that you are not important. Or that you don’t belong there but you know that you are more then an other person. That there is noting that can explain you. That you are more then awesome or fantastic because there is no word to describe you. That you shod always know that you are special no meter what. People can say anything about you ether good or bad cause you know that you are better then them. I think is an awesome song because when you lessen to the song when you had a bad day you feel better and you don’t feel sad anymore. Anybody that thinks that they are being left out sod lessen to it so they can know that they are awesome!

    A song that i know that has a message is "babe" from Justin Bieber. The message that it has is that it says "Ithought youll be mine". What I think about this message is that like I liked someone but that person was with somebody. Also this makes me think that that person was with somebody. This makes me feel bad because that person wasnt with me even though that person liked me.

    The song I choosed was "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri.The message was that even thought your loved on is gone you loved them for a long time and here is part of the song "I have died every day waiting for you darling dont be afraid i have loved you for a thousand years"I think that from this little part from the song shows that she has been waiting for her loved one and she still loves her loved one even thought she has not seen him.This makes me feel a little bit sad because you wait and wait and even tought you miss somebody you still love them becouse your hearts a connect together and you still love each other.

    The song that I chose for the blog entry is “The way I am” by Ingrid Michelson. The message of the song is that the guy takes the girl the way she is or acts, but the boy doesn’t really care he loves her the way she is. The quote that shows that message is “And you take me the way I am” and on the drawings the girl is dressed like a nerd but he likes her either way.

    A song that I know that has a strong message is “We are the World”. The theme that it teaches you is that all you need is love. A sentence from the song that shows the message is “We are all a part of Gods great big family. And the truth, you know Love is all we need.” This song shows that message because it is saying that we are all a big family and that we shouldn’t hate anyone. Also that all you need to be happy is love.

    A good song that gives a message is “The Prayer” By Kid Cudi. It tells you that you should not cry for someone who has passed away because they are in a good place . Because the message says “And if I die before I wake, I pray the lord my soul to take. But please don't cry, just know that I have made these songs for you .” This means that god has your soul. And your soul it is in a good place. So you shouldn’t worry about death. Just have fun with your life when you still have it. People have fun with your life. But don’t worry about death because it might be a good feeling.

    The song I know that has a message is called "Show goes on". This song was from Lupe Fiasco. The message that this song shows is to never give up on your dreams. The line "The show goes on all night" makes me realize thats the message. This song shows how he lived a ruff life, but he still didn't gave up. This song encouraged me to follow my dreams.Do what the song says and goodbye.

    A song that I know that has a massage is “always and forever” from Deestylistics f.t babiixjenni. The message is that he thought that they are going to be always and forever to be together. What I think about this message is that when you love someone you want to stay together with that person forever. This also makes me think that some kid was with a girl and they were going out and he really like her.

    A theme of the song is that it doesn’t matter how you look because it’s the inside what counts. If someone doesn’t like you for who you are then you ignore them because they just want to see you mad and/or sad. You shouldn’t be ashamed of yourself because you are not ugly. People see you for who you are not for how you look. A lot of people dress differently so you shouldn’t be ashamed of how you dressed.

    A song that I love so much is Weight Of The World By Framing Hanley, I like this song because it describes that when you are in a problem in life and it's not your fault and someone is helping you so much to be there for you but you are always saying "No." and their trying there best to do it behind your back and also you do not do deserve to be in a hard problem. The message of the song is "Who's to say, there's a way this has to end? Were writing our own rules. Give me names & what they said. Oh, how could they hurt you? & when you crumble away under pressure... You need to borrow my strenth & I'll let ya. It's getting heavier hold it steadier. I see, Life trowing you curves you can make it. Take it in, try again. You don't deserve this. I just wanna save you, You can take it on the chin try again." So when you are in a problem try your best to solve it on your own and if a friend id trying and you know you need help then always say "Yes." they are your best friends.

    Song essay

    One day I saw a little kid getting beat by some tuff guys. He would get beaten every day after school. I think “Not Afraid” by Eminem shows a strong message. The message is standing up for yourself and facing your problems. In the song it says “I`m not afraid to take a stand everybody come take my hand”. By saying that he means to take his hand and stand up for yourself or what you believe in. In the song it also says “we`ll walk this road together through the storm whatever weather cold or warm just letting you know you`re not alone.” By him saying that he means the storm being you`re problem and when he says “whatever weather cold or warm”. He means no matter what you can get through it. I think this song has a very strong message. This is why I chose “Not Afraid” by Eminem as my song essay. I recommend it to anybody with problems with anything.

    The song that has a strong message and it’s not violent or sexual, it is called ‘’Who says?’’ it talks about no matter what people think about you, you don’t have to change who you are, no matter what. ‘’ Who says, who says you’re not perfect, who says you’re not worth it, who says you’re the only one who’s hurting.’’ This song explains the message by telling people to not change yourself by having people tell you who you are or what you are. So don’t change yourself just because someone told you something mean about you.

    I think Michael Jackson was saying that to make the world a better place you should start to change yourself to be a better person and dont depend on others to participate. Don'tcomlain about the world and then not do anything. Start to change the world by changing yourself.

  43. One of the songs that has an important message is Adele set fire to the rain. The important message is “I let it fall, my heart, And as it fell, you rose to claim it, It was dark and I was over, Until you kissed my lips and you saved me, My hands, they, were strong, but my knees were far too weak, To stand in your arms without falling to your feet, But there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew, All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true, And the games you'd play, you would always win, always win. I chose this song because it reminded me of my best friend Teodora how I lost from my old school.

    “Price tag by Jessie jay”
    The song price tag is about the world and how money effects everyone. This song is important because it tells how people shouldn’t be greedy. It also tells how money is not everything. In the verse~
    “Seems like everybody got’s a price I wonder how they sleep at night when the sale comes first and the truth comes seconded just stop for a minute and smile”
    It tells that every one spends money .It also says that money and everything they spend comes first than everything! They also say “And the truth come second” that means that they spend money and then they care about everything else. In the other verse~

    “why is everyone so serious acting so dam mysterious got shads on your eyes and your hells to high you can’t even have a good time!”
    She is saying that everyone acts like they care but they really don’t care! That’s why they say they “got shades on their eyes and their hells so high”

  57. A song that I know has a message is 2pac “Dear Mama”. This song message is that you should glad you have a mom that care for you. Even though she doesn’t really have a lot of money she gives you food, shelter, and most of all love. In the song it says “Cause when I was low you was there for me” That is saying that when you are sad your mom always makes you feel better.

    The main person in this song is talking about his friend has lived the single life to much and now he needs a wife. T his message is saying that people should not wait to long to do something because the opportunity may already be gone. I like this song because it has a goog rythim and beat plus it sort of gives a message that we can all learn from.

    The song "Only you could be you" by Cymphonique Miller gives a strong message about being your self and not caring about what others, you could be any thing you wana be. Also you should be proud of who you are. To be what you wana be. Here's a part from the song
    "You always wanna be what you're not.
    Can't you be happy with what you've got?
    You're perfect the way you are
    With your insecurities, doubts and scars.
    Life's too short to worry.
    Don't you know it's true.

    Michael Jackson wrote, "If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and change your ways." I think this means that people should not throw stuf in the streets and not draw grafiti.The bigger problem we have is companies who are wasting oil from the ground and destroying the earth to get it. To help fix it we could write letters to oil companies, protest, and stop the digging. We could also stop using so much oil.

    a song that has a strong message is called Just the way you are by Bruno mars. The song talks about how you don't have to be perfect to do stuff that others don't do. You don't need to wear makeup to be pretty because your fine just the way you are. You don't need to wear something that almost makes you look like your naked just to impress a boy. Just be yourself.
