...Composition ENG 300 June 19, 2013 Music and Lyrics: Ruben Blades (Looking For America) I’m searching for you, America and fear that I will not find you your footprint has been lost in the dark. (Line 4) I’m calling you America but you are not answering me. You have been made to vanish by those who deny truth.(Line 8) Surrounded by shadows we deny all that’s true until there is justice we will never have peace.(Line 12) Living under Dictatorships I search for you and I cannot find you. Your body tortured is nowhere to be found. (Line 16) If one’s dream is everybody’s dream to break the chains and begin our journey Let’s be confident Let’s go ahead, my race, Let’s preserve time for those to come.(Line 24) You’ve been abducted, America Your mouth has been gagged and today it’s our turn to bring you freedom. I’m calling you America our future awaits us and before it dies on us we will find you.(Line 33) I’m searching for you America. I’m calling you America Oh, Oh Fighting for our race and our freedom And we will find you among the darkness, You’ve been vanished by those who’re afraid of your truth. While we search for the truth Searching for our America Mama and papa’s dream And it’s our turn today to set you free. (Line 43)“Looking for America” 2013. Ruben Blades website.

...Complex Sentences Exercise (See related pages) ------------------------------------------------- Top of Form Directions: Determine the independent clause in each sentence. Example | Although too little sleep is an effect of stress, too little sleep can cause stress. | | a. Although too little sleep is an effect of stress | | b. too little sleep can cause stress | | | Explanation | The answer is b. The most important thought the author wants readers to understand is that too little sleep can cause stress. The dependent clause, which is introduced by although, tells readers information the author considers less important, that too little sleep is an effect of stress (that is, people who are stressed may not sleep well). Notice that if you read the dependent clause aloud to someone and stopped there, the listener would expect you to add something more. The dependent clause does not make complete sense by itself. | | | | 1 | | Although we know the benefits of exercise, most of us don't know that a brisk after-dinner stroll can help with digestion. | | | A) | Although we know the benefits of exercise | | | B) | most of us don't know that a brisk after-dinner stroll can help with digestion | | | | | | | | 2 | | People need to be able to share their fears, frustrations, and joys, so it's important for us to develop a network of people we can share our feelings with. | | | A) | People need to be able to share their fears...

...Verse 1: Everyone needs a hero, someone to trust through the storm of life. Someone who’ll help them through every fight, every day, every night. You’re the one who brings out the light in me, as bright as the moon and sea, giving me hopes and dreams far out as the eye can see you and me... Chorus: Who’s around again and again, through every mood, good and bad, happy and the sad? Who’s always gonna be here for me, as my steady life turns around and around? Who’s gonna tell the truth, even when it hurts the most? life is tough you make it easier to go on. You’re my best friend, my family, and i just wanna tell you, thank you.

...Part 1: Is the topic too broad? No, it is not too board because we are concentrating on the effect of music lyrics on a specific age group, which is youth. Can the problem really be investigated? Yes of course it can be investigated because teenagers nowadays get exposed to music more than ever before. So they can be observed and the results can be analyzed. Can the data be analyzed? Yes the data can be analyzed through content analysis of different kinds of music and music lyrics. Can the results of the study be generalized? Yes the results can be generalized because teenagers get expose do different kinds of music with different lyrics and I am not only examining one kind of music. I’m researching the effect of all kinds of music lyrics on youth. What time is involved in the analysis? The time does not really play an important role in this research since we are not focusing on a specific musical era; but the questions we mainly about contemporary song lyrics. Is the planned approach appropriate to the project? Yes, I believe that the questionnaire was the most helpful tool to analyze the effect of music lyrics. The content analysis also made me compare the answers of the people and it helped me discover how music lyrics affect each person differently. Is there is any potential harm to the subjects? No, there is no harm to the subjects. Part 2: Write a paragraph about your problem’s significance: With the recent technological advancement, youth are now being...

...Lyric Censorship: Language is Power Words create powerful emotions in all of us. They are used to express our feelings, thoughts and ideas, as well as communicate with one another. There are countless examples in history where we see language equating power. Within those examples we see people in the position of power, using this power of language to degrade their enemies and those they consider beneath them, and shape language in their favor. Music ties into language completely. The words of song lyrics convey powerful messages. As language is power, those in control seek to repress the power of this language in music, attempting to keep the power in their favor. But this attempt at censorship only gives those words even more influence and any attempt to infringe our right to free speech should be fought for to prevent its loss. The censorship of lyrics has occurred globally and can be dated back as far as music and poetry can be traced. Let’s take Asia as an example. Under the ruling of the Taliban in Afghanistan, music became a crime (Korpe, 2004). Instruments were burned, and people were severely punished for singing or creating any kind of music that was not deemed acceptable by the government. In Kabal, President Rabbani went as far as to create an Office for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, which was used to regulate the lyric of song in the favor of the government, and punish those who spoke ill towards those in power. In Pakistan...

...chant ‘well done’ to good contributors • Get the children to take over the ‘Call’ function as soon as possible from you. You are modelling skills and empowering them to model to each other as well. Children leading others is a very powerful re-inforcer and motivator. 2) Injecting backing tracks into lessons at key points • allows you ‘pick up’ or ‘calm down’ a lesson depending upon the mood. • allows you to overlay any lyrical content that you want to highlight from your lesson. • You can use songs from Sing Up website but you can also simply use the backing tracks of some key songs Example Let’s Dance backing track from Sing Up website Suggest some lyrics to practise to this track from any work you have done today. Can you see a way in which children could be asked to suggest some simple lyrics that summarise key points of a lesson? How would engaging children creatively in the song help them to learn the content of your lessons? How would it affect their attention and involvement? What other ‘support’ might you need to give then to help them come up with some lyrical ideas? How could you build this in to the work you do on a topic so that this support is already there before you play the track? eg: Key word...

...Candice Prestel Historical Foundations DB 2 Dr. Kimberly Roff September 1, 2012 A class of medieval lyric poets, called troubadours, flourished principally in southern France, eastern Spain and northern Italy from the 11th to 13th centuries (Dictionary.com, 2012). They wrote songs and poems of a complex metrical form in langue d’oc, mainly about courtly love. In courtly love the lover sees his ability to resist these temptations and rise above his own base humanity as evidence of his spiritual purity (Syre, 2013). According to Syre (2013), “The smitten knight or nobleman must be willing to perform any deed to win his lady’s favor, the lady often being his lord’s wife”. The trobairitz is the female version of the troubadour but their poems were mainly focused on romantic love (Dictionary.com, 2012). The trobairitz used poetry to share stories of romantic longing and unattainable love, focusing on the feelings associated with romantic love such as longing, suffering, and a desire to do whatever possible to have the feeling of love reciprocated (Career Education Corporation, 2010). The troubadours are said to have “invented” romantic love as we know it today by the conventions and vocabulary that we use to describe it (Syre, 2013). According to Syre (2013), “to love is to suffer, to wander aimlessly, unable to concentrate on anything but the mental image of the beloved, to give up life for a dream”. While reducing women to barely more than objects of male desire...

...Musical Lyrics on the Lives of Graduate Counseling Students Taylor Swift, Ke$ha, Usher, Eminem, or Nicki Minaj these are popular artists or as some would consider them their favorite artist and we all have one. In my study I wanted to find out what people liked more in music the lyrics or the artist, and with that in mind I wanted to narrow my thoughts on to why do people hear certain songs and what does it mean to them? Song lyrics have more importance for some than for others as in the general populous (Buser, Flannery, Bentley & Gladding, 2005, p. 90). I want to know how important are those lyrics and its messages are to the general music hearing population. Buser, Flannery, Bentley & Gladding conducted a study by surveying 28 graduate students in counseling on the meaning of lyrical music in their lives. Their results showed that some songs were more popular or better remembered than others. Their data also showed that while some lyrics are personally meaningful and others conveyed important messages, a number of lyrics are just relaxing, joyful, and entertaining without a deeper level of significance to them. Although their data had its limitations with only surveying 28 graduate students in counseling, and the majority of those being female does limit the study’s findings. It still shows us what few people see in songs and the meaning that the lyrics are trying to convey onto their audience. 1. Does genre determine the depth of lyrics? ...

...Hear that Tune When I turned on the radio, the song “Springsteen” pumped though the speakers of my car. Since I was already having a bad day, hearing this song just made me smile. It’s weird how just one song can make such an impact on a person that can turn your day around. Listening to music can simply brighten your day. Music was made for people to dance in all genres and all ways. Music is used to dance in line dances at country places. Here, in order for people to dance and know the moves, they have to listen to the beat of the music in order to do certain moves. Weddings are another great example of how music is used to dance. Weddings mostly always involve a dj or a live band in which the bride and groom take their first dance together and so on to various music they have selected. Dance competitions are a huge example of why music is important for dance. Music is needed here to compete against other people through dance moves that correlate to the music. Dancing can be done without music but in order to have a steady beat and keep the moves correct as a person would have rehearsed, it would be best to dance to music. Dancing can help celebrate exactly what the music means to you. Songs can mean everything to a person when the lyrics relate to you. All songs have different lyrics so they all can have different meanings. When a person can relate directly to the lyrics, it gives that person a sense of comfort. The lyrics make people realize that you aren’t alone in the...
