Getting away from ruining and picking apart children\u2019s shows, I\u2019m going to analyze my favorite songs. I enjoy various artists ranging from The Foundations, Chappell Roan, and even Incubus. This causes the genres I listen to, to also be all over the place. You will see that as I go through the songs today. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to stats.fm<\/em> for Spotify, my top genres for the past 6 months have been Rock, Pop, Alternative, Classic Rock, and Mellow Gold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The 3-minute song, \u201cBuild Me Up Buttercup\u201d by The Foundations is truly magical. It is in the C key and 4\/4 time signature. The song is a story told by a lover who feels he is not getting enough reciprocation in his relationship\/situationship. His lover never calls him when they say they will but he will love them still. This cycle continues throughout the song of the man\u2019s lover continuing to not do right by him. Although the song is upbeat and fun, the lyrics depict a one-sided relationship that is mainly over the phone. This can be very relatable to current long-distance relationships who only ever talk through texting or phone calls. Many relationships develop and work that way. I enjoy this song because of the upbeat rhythm and the relatable lyrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The nearly 4-minute song \u201cKaleidoscope\u201d by Chappell Roan is a ballad that is in the B Major key and has a tempo of 77BPM. The song travels through a relationship that has just ended. The two were originally friends but ended up as more, we see this in the lyrics: \u201cI guess we could pretend\/ We didn\u2019t cross the line\u201d Roan still admires the other member of this relationship as she sings throughout the song. In the last of the lyrics, Chappell sings \u201cDon\u2019t be afraid to hold it close\u201d, this makes sense because she still loves her ex-partner as a friend. It is still love but it is not the same kind of love, this follows the \u201cLove is a kaleidoscope\u201d metaphor throughout the song. I like this song because it shows how confusing love truly can be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 The 3-and-a-half-minute song \u201cWish You Were Here\u201d by Incubus is one of my personal favorites off of the morning view album. The song is about feeling free from yourself to enjoy life for a moment. The lyrics \u201cThe world\u2019s a rollercoaster\/ And I am not strapped in\/ Well, maybe I should hold with care\/But my hands are busy in the air..\u201d are very interesting for me because they show how free the singer feels. Being on a rollercoaster without being strapped in and not holding on sounds pretty free\u2026 it also sounds like many injuries (although it\u2019s only a metaphor). Relating to the title, the singer wants to feel this freedom with a certain person. Throughout the song, he repeats the lyrics \u201cI wish you were here\u201d to emphasize that. I love this song because it allows me to relax and imagine a place where I can be with someone I miss. This band is also very special to me as it was one of my late mother\u2019s favorites.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
