Paragraphs on songs
The song "love me like you do" is going to start playing when Satine is on stage after she has told Christian to leave because she is dying and doesn't
want him there. When she sings the first line he stops and turns around. He than joins in and stays to perform the last scene with her because he wants
to be there when she dies. The songs helps the audience understand that there love is like a light in the darkness because they not suppose to be together
the Duke forbids it. It also shows that it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks they know that there love is forever.
When Christian is shot and he is taken backstage everyone is trying to help him but he just keeps bleeding. Satine...show more content...
We chose this song because his love for Satine has driven him mad. In the beginning the lyric is shot through the heart and he shoots him in the heart
so there is a significance. He gives love a bad name because his love drove him to kill.
We chose "power trip" by J. Cole because in the lyrics is says "you got me up all night, all I'm singin is love songs." It starts playing when the Duke
is feeling so guilty that he writes the love story of Christian and Satine when he takes the typewriter. His love for Satine is still there overwhelming
him that he must tell everyone what happened between them and how love conquers all when you have nothing left. He feels that in some way he
might be forgiven if he writes it even though they are already gone. He might never be forgiven by Christian and Satine but he might by everyone else
when the story is heard by everyone.
The last song is "don't forget about me" it plays as the end song in the story. It song gets stuck in your head and reminds everyone to don't forget
about me meaning Satine and Christian because it's all about them. It also is goes good with the Duke when it says I'll be alone because he is alone
now that Satine is

Billie Jean, By Michael Jackson
My favorite song is billie jean by Michael jackson. I have always thought that Michael Jackson had been one of the best artist to ever exist. Billie jean
has always been one of my favorite songs of him. My favorite part of the song is the beat because it's one of my favorite songs to play soccer too. The

because it reminds me of soccer and soccer is everything to me. When I listen to that song I imagine myself playing soccer and juking everyone out
and scoring goals.

Personal Essay: Song Analysis
Listening to the lyrics of your favorite song you automatically start to have a connection with that song. Then the song starts to represent you and
your life because of the lyrics. Some songs show about being a fighter,having freedom, or just being you. There's a billion of songs out there and
there's a billion of people who connect with those songs. Usually the most common reason why some songs represent people is by their past
experience. For me some songs represent me because I decided to follow my dreams,living in the moment, and get right back up.
Being a teenager in high school you dream about having the same career as your friend or going to the same college as them but for me and my
friends it was reverse. They were more comfortable performing in a band, or acting,and singing. While I was more comfortable standing there and
give a speech than they were. But being a shy high schooler you rather be with your friends than by yourself. Listening to 'Social Casualty' changed my
thoughts. Just by hearing the lyrics I knew the song and I shared the same problem. I took my chance and signed up for my classes which was
entirely different than all my other friends. Even if I'm alone in a class I could always play this just to motivate me to follow my dreams than
someone else. The song represent me because I didn't want to be a follower in my...show more content...
Maybe that's why some songs represent me and my personality. These songs help me to just forget everything and to live in the moment. But being
with my friends help me have fun and to ignore any real world problems going on. Just listening to these songs with them helps us to have fun. Sure
I'm going to face some difficult problems some point in my life but those problems will have to wait. Even though time past by fast I still have time to
live my life and that's what the songs are teaching

What Is My Favorite Song Essay
As I always listen to variety of music all over the world, so I have many favorite songs that always dancing in my mind. However I will include these
five special, meaningful songs in my mix tape. The first one is Hey Soul Sister by Train. Actually the lyrics of this song does not have special
meaning for me but the song itself reminds me 6 years of being a student who stayed in boarding school with a lot of amazing friends. My friends
and I loved to sing this song whenever we felt stress or lazy to study as it is very catchy and have beautiful, harmony melody. Sometimes, we sang
this song for many times as loud as we can until our voice became husky. Whenever, I remind all what we had done or listening to Hey Soul Sister

As this song is originally written by him, it gave deep impact not just to my mind but to my heart too. Actually the singer of this song, Kim
Jonghung passed away recently as he committed suicide due to the depression that he suffered for quite long time. After knowing about that news,
I heard this song for one more time and I ended up crying like crazy for almost one hour and over. It is because the lyrics and melody of the song

just realized after his death that most the song that sang and written by him are related to his depression. It looks like he wanted to convey his feeling
through the song as he such a cheerful guy in front of cameras. Unfortunately, most of his friend and fans did not realize that and he chose that ways
to end up his depression and loneliness. This tragedy makes me noticed that we must always concern to people surroundings us as we do not know
what is inside their

Essay About Song Lyrics
Have you ever had them days where you're so upset, but don't want to tell anyone about it? I certainly have, and fortunately I found a way to
express myself comfortablely; writing song lyrics. This may sound cliche but writing lyrics has always been a big stress reliever for me when i'm
feeling rather down. According to my mom, when I was 4, I would hum when I was upset and by age 6, I started writing song lyrics about how I
was upset and why. I feel writing song lyrics has helped me come a long way, but all of this may lead many of you to wonder, 'How do you write
song lyrics?' The idea of songwriting all ties back to one common interest, music. Song lyrics wouldn't even exist if the idea of music wasn't created.
Some of the first lyrics all originated from thoughts about wars, the Great Depression, presidents, immigration, and much more. People would mostly
express their emotions, much like they do today, on events that occurred and had huge impacts on people. The only difference between lyrics then and
now is, back then lyrics were more...show more content...
Lyrics in the music business have always been a popular 'trend' since music was first created. Music was generally discovered by a male, which
could be a shock to many but today, it's more common for females to write songs. From a simple tune to paragraphs about a topic, song lyrics have
come a long way. Song lyrics started with very few genre types and now there's multiple! " Though music evolved continually, the researchers
identified three stylistic "revolutions" during which the change from one year to the next was unusually large: Around 1964 (the era of British bands),
1983 (the rock era) and 1991 (the era of mainstream hip hop)." (Huffington Post). Now, it seems as though lyrics have evolved from something small
and rarely heard of to one of the most popular things in the

My Favorite Music Essay
Teenage years are the times for new experiences and music was no different as the experience marked with great memories of music that is very
nostalgic and can be attached to moments good or bad that make us reminisce when we hear the music of our child hood. I am Mexican and my
teenage years I spent in Mexico until I was sixteen when my family migrated to the united states however I didn't really understood English I can
honestly say that I like Rock En Espanol and would not hesitate to say that it is my favorite genre of music when I was a teenager, I will try my
best to share my favorite music as I reminisce on some great music in my past. As a teenager growing up in Mexico I wasn't really interested in
listening to music, as my interest were sports and television. The musical influences that I can recall in my early childhood, were those of my
parents. Who would listen to Corridos and Rancheras, which were a type of folk Mexican revolutionary music, they would sing about the
struggles in life during the Mexican civil war. As I grew up the type of music my friends listen to were Cumbias Colombianas and Rock En Espanol
those were my early memories of music which I still listen and enjoy today. I would listen to Rock En Espanol artist like CafГ© Tacuba, Caifanes,
Mana, Maldita Vecindad, Enanitos Verdes, and Fabulosos Cadillacs. I began listening more to the lyrics and the sound of the music for example,
Maldita Vecindad has a Rock sound that evolved into a Ska sound.

Choosing Favorite Beatles Songs '
Choosing favorite Beatles songs is a bit like choosing a favorite child, it 's damn near. They put out four psychedelic albums (if you count Yellow
Submarine, which I 'm not), and three post–psychedelic albums. In the 8 years they recorded, they released 12 studio albums, not counting the US
releases as many of those were compilation records. To be honest, I was never a huge fan of the mop tops era Beatles and songs like "I Want to Hold
Your Hand" and "She Loves You." However, I did include a few from that time period. I would love to hear your top 10 to see if we match up at all.
Number Ten: "All You Need Is Love." Written after only two weeks after the release of Sgt. Pepper, "All You Need Is Love" was specifically written
for the first satellite hookup between 25 countries called Our World. The song boasted an optimistic vibe during "the summer of love" in 1967. The
song featured many prominent artists singing on the chorus. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Marianne Faithful, and Eric Clapton were just a few of the
talents who appeared on the recording. The track also included many guest musicians playing everything from violin to trumpet. The Beatles
themselves played unconventional instruments: Lennon on harpsichord, McCartney on double bass and Harrison on violin. The track was made
available on Magical Mystery Tour and Yellow Submarine.
Number Nine: "In My Life." Again, Lennon credits Bob Dylan as well as journalist Kenneth Allsop for bringing him out of his shell as

Listening For Your Favorite Music
Listening to your favorite music brings a sense of happiness and sustainability to help you overcome your normal school or work day. It also makes
one feel quite energized and gain a sense of confidence. However besides having increasing motivation and having an energy boost, music can make
one feel smarter and even intelligent. In recent studies, experiments including like "The Mozart Effect" are proving that listening to music specifically
Mozart sonatas can make one score at least 30 points more on a test like the SAT and ACT (How Music Affects the Body). Besides making one gain
intelligence, music has been proven to get rid of physical pain. A recent study that was conducted at Aarhus University in Denmark reported that most
of the patient 's reported that they felt less unpleasant and less intense. "The problem with most chronic pain is all the medicines they are forced to
take. Whatever it may be, it's bad because it can cause stomach upset, can be addictive, etc." (Peter Vuust, Aarhus University, Denmark) . All that music
can do is very unbelievable. Science has changed everything that we know into something like music that can be used as medicine. Listening to your
favorite music can reduce feelings of physical pain, increase intelligence, and increase creativity.
Besides the fact of music increase intelligence and increasing creativity, it has been proven that by many different studies that music can perhaps be
known to lower the physical affects of pain. As

Descriptive Essay About A Song
One day during my sophomore year of high school while I was waiting for my class to start, I decided to explore new genres of music and artists that
I haven't listened to before. I was sitting on the floor outside of my classroom searching through Spotify for something new and exciting. After looking
through the Classic Rock section on Spotify, I came across the band Queen. Since that moment, I have been and avid Queen listener and have listened
to all their songs. I have been particularly fond of their albums The Game, The Miracle and Night at the Opera.
The first Queen song I heard was Bohemian Rhapsody from the album Night at the Opera. It was around 7:45 am, the morning was very still and
quiet and the sky was clear. My surroundings became increasingly louder as the school day was about to begin and it was a cool morning unlike the
typical Floridian morning weather. After scrolling through various Queen songs on Spotify, I stumbled upon as song I have heard about through
friends but not listened to: Bohemian Rhapsody. Just like the eerily still morning, the exposition of the song was smooth and relaxed. The beginning
of the song sounded like there were many voices in harmony and the hazy, smooth timbre resonated in my ear buds. The lyrics of the song matched
with the eerie quality of the voices, the lyrics indicate that the singers are in some state of confusion and are unclear of their surroundings. The singers
hold the last word of each verse for a beat longer than

Song Comparison Essay The road of life can be a bumpy one. There will always be twists and turns that can alter a person's life, changing the course
of their destination. Even though life can be tough, you have to draw upon your inner strength in order to persevere. The songs, "Move Along" by The
All–American Rejects and "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" by Greenday sing about this message. The lyrics in their songs have manyliterary
devices such as personification, repetition, symbolism and juxtaposition. The personification will help you...show more content...
The theme is how when you have a tough, important moment in life, you have to make the best of it and move along. An image for these lyrics will
help you connect to the theme because you can see what is going on and a picture will help you understand something more. In my next paragraph, I
will be talking about how the singers used repetition to emphasize certain points. In these songs, lyrics were repeated. Repetition draws the listener's
attention to particular words or phrases. In the song, Time of Your Life, the singer repeats the line, "It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's
right. I hope you had the time of your life." This line is repeated throughout the song multiple times. The singer is emphasizing the fact that anything
can happen when you make your choice but in the end, you have to just relax and be happy. He wants the audience to really understand it. In the other
song, the line, "Move along, move along. Just to make it through" The singer is repeating the term, "Move along" because that is the main message in
this song. It is to move along when things seem bad. The singer wants the audience to really get the message and to feel good when they relate to this
song. These lines connect to the theme because they are talking about moving on in tough situations and being satisfied with the outcome. These lyrics
were emphasized well. Besides repetition, the singers also used symbols and juxtaposition to

Meaning of a Classic Song Essay
"A great song doesn't attempt to be anything – it just is." (Carter). This is a quote from an essay written by Jay Z in a Rolling Stone article in 2011. Jay
Z is a multi–platinum recording artist with many hit songs, including a few that are in Rolling Stone's top 500 songs list. Because of Jay Z's
accomplishments, Rolling Stone felt that he would be a good person to ask about how to make a classic song. Jay Z references different songs and
ideals on what he thinks makes a classic song, but is he really the right person to ask for insight on this topic? Jay Z is just a rapper, and we live in a
time where it is more important for an artist to sell records than present a legitimate message, and the best way for one to that is to gain...show more

Today, songs have to be able to appeal to the demographic that primarily listens to those radio stations that play the top songs in the country or the
world. That is the main way for an artist to gain popularity and get the rest of their music out there. The problem with that philosophy is that artists
more often than not have to give up some kind of creative control to achieve their goals. Which means they must follow certain trends in the music
industry at any given time in order to gain or sustain their popularity. Just because songs get a lot of air play on the radio, does not mean that they
are always the best song when it comes to quality and meaning in the lyrics. Jay Z attested to this in his essay in Rolling Stone. "A song like "Can I
Live" is so full of emotion to me – it was better than "Hard Knock Life" or "Empire State of Mind," but it lacked that accessibility." (Carter). That is
saying a lot considering "Empire State of Mind" alone has gone platinum five times since its release in 2009. People overall want to hear songs that
make them feel good or that bring up good memories and are easy to remember. That is why most songs on the radio are up–beat with catchy hooks.
The music becomes like an infection and the more a person hears a certain song, the more likely they are to buy it. The problem is that people only
buy or download a certain song thanks to new technology that allows a

Love Yours: Song Analysis
One of my favorite songs is, "Love Yours" by J. Cole. He is one of my favorite artists and his words are very lyrical. In this song, he is speaking as a
first–person narrator. Jermain Cole AKA J. Cole was born in Frankfurt, Germany but moved to North Carolina when he was an infant. He credits Tupac
as one of his major influences on his music. Growing up he didn't have much but on his birthday, he asked his mom for a beat machine. He started out
in producing music, but then used his rap on his own beats throughout high school. When he was fourteen, he had two mentors that gave him his stage
name "Therapist" for his soulful flow and rhymes. After graduating high school, he moved to the Big Apple to attend St. John University on
scholarships....show more content...
He was smart and intelligent, but wanted to pursue his dream in the music industry. While in college he stood outside Jay–Z's office to hopefully give
him a demo tape and get signed. After waiting for a couple days, he finally met his idol. The first meeting between the two wasn't that great. 2 years
later Jay–Z was looking for artists for his new record label Roc–Nation and he stumbled on his song "Lights Please." J. Cole was the first artist to sign
to the label. With all his albums selling and going number one on the first week of the release, J. Cole started to grow a large fan base and became
influential. In 2010 he signed his own label called, "Dreamville." Today, the Dreamville artists are actively on social media to raise awareness on
social issues that we have in our country. By 2014, he was the first artist in 25 years for their album to go double platinum with no special features.
This song is one of those songs on the album called, "Forest Hills." I love J. Cole for being real about modern society and this song tells a story about
his road to success and

How to Write a Song Essay
"How to Write a Song" by Allyson Jones Think back to the last time you heard your favorite song. You plant your headphones on, close your eyes,
and completely immerse yourself in the music. You hang on to every word and every note, enchanted by the passionate vocals and addictive melodies.
But have you ever wondered what really goes into making a song? Every Songwriter uses different methods to compose a song. In fact, if you were to

Inspiration can strike at any time, so always be prepared to document your idea. This is where the recording device comes into play. The Inspiration
usually comes in the form of a melody. When a melody hits you, its important to record it as soon as possible. There's nothing worse than coming
up with a great melody while sitting on a train, or driving in rush hour traffic, and having no way to document it, so be prepared! Don't be afraid to
hum the melody into your recording device, or sing it in gibberish. At this point, words are not important. Next, you need to build upon the melody.
Decide what sort of vibe this melody portrays, and stick to it! Is it sad, happy, angry? Then use your instrument of choice, a guitar in my case, to
make a sample melody for the song. I use the words "sample melody" because It will be subject to change, depending on the lyrics and structure of
the song.You'll need that pen and paper for this next step. The next step, and by far the most important, is to write the lyrics. Lyrics can make or break
a song. Before writing the lyrics, it is important to ask questions: What are you trying to get across to the listener? What is the atmosphere of the
song? Are you telling a story? Once you've answered these questions, you can develop the theme of your song. You also have to consider the structure.
There are generally 4 components to a song: the verse, pre–chorus, chorus, and bridge. The opening line should grab the listener's

If asked the question, "What is your favorite song," you would be able to answer that question in just a couple of seconds. In today's society, music
plays an important role in everything from promoting businesses with slogans and jingles to live performances for enjoyment and relaxation.
Music can be found anywhere in everyday life. It can be found on the radio, on television, on computers and on our phones. Music is able to help
set the mood in restaurants for customer pleasure. Music helps create new memories in life and is even able to bring back the power to recall
emotional connections to older memories. There are endless possibilities music is used for to appeal to each and every person in today's world.
Music can be heard on the radio as we are driving down the road. From time to time, I even listen to music while I study. When listening to music in
the car, usually, you have set stations for your preference. As I drive, I usually listen to modern day rap and hip hop. This type of music helps me as a
person think more creatively. My mom, on the other hand listens to country music as she is driving. When she listens to country music, she becomes
more relaxed. When I need to listen to relaxing music, I listen to more classical music. Classical music helps relax me due to playing the flute for 4
years. As I am studying I listen to classical music through my headphones. My ADHD has made me struggle focusing on my work. From the early
age of 15 years, I have had calming music as background noise. I believe this helps me to concentrate on the work I am completing. I will always be
thankful for music for helping me every day. When visiting a restaurant you will hear music to fit the theme that that particular restaurant is trying to
portray. I work at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store in Hickory. The theme that Cracker Barrel is portraying is country. When customers come, they
expect to hear country music. As you walk onto the porch of the Cracker Barrel, you will automatically hear modern day country and older country
music playing in the background. You will behearing this music for the entire experience in Cracker Barrel's establishment. This particular type of
music completes the

I was raised around many types of music, and I have heard many different songs. However, there is one music group that I have listened to off and
on for a very long time. This group is Blue October, and I have listened to them since I was six years old when my mother first introduced me. The
music from Blue October is ever changing and has been linear to my ever changing life. I love the music that they make because it is real and
alive. I look for sincear songs; Blue October meets this expectation that I have. The song "Into The Ocean" is the first song that I had ever heard by
them. I remember the first time I had ever hear that song was on my moms CD plater when her and my dad were still together. We were living in a
two bedroom appartment and I was watching my mother draw big beautiful paisly prints on thick paper with her shimmery gel pens. While I
watched her hands I listened to the lullaby sound of the violin in the song. Even now, depending on how I feel, I will listen to the music most. I
still borrowed my mothers CD player on numerous occasions. Apparently, I borrowed it so many times, it was just easier for my mom and dad to
save the money to buy me one of my own. I now could listen to the song over and over as many times as I wanted. This was my very first CD
player. I even got my own pair of headphones. They went over the top of my head and went over my ears with the thin foam that made sure everyone
heard what I was listening to. This CD player was more

Needed Me Vs. Yonce/Partition
Everyone likes listening to music, though not everyone has the same musical preferences, the reasons are mostly similar. It's because they can
relate the song to a certain point in their lives, or it expresses a feeling they've felt or are feeling. We relate to it on a different level than most things
and it puts us in a state that only music can accomplish. Almost everyone has a few songs that they consider their favorite, and only they know the
reason they've chosen these songs. I, like everyone else, too have chosen a couple of songs that I consider being a few of my favorites. The artists of
these songs are the exceptional BeyoncГ© and Rihanna, and the songs along with the reason for the songs are as follows. "Needed Me" and "Yonce
/Partition" are both empowering anthems for strong, independent women because one talks about not needing nor wanting a man, and the other one
talks about knowing you can get any man you want, and having the ability to drive him wild.
BeyoncГ© and Rihanna are two of the most recognized names in the world, so it's no surprise they're both fierce powerhouses who are worth
millions. Many of their songs like "Needed Me" and "Yonce/Partition" are empowering statements for women. "Needed Me" is the ultimate kiss–off to
an ex with lyrics like "Don't get it twisted...you needed me," and its swirly, airy production with loose, casual vocals. While "Yonce/Partition" is a
two–part song that's half–rapped on the first half of the song where she describes her

My Favorite Song
My favorite song is TRNDSTTR by Black Coast (Lucian Remix) sung by M. Maggie. The song has many musical building blocks within it, such as a
distinct melody. The singer sang in a linear tone. Her pitch and rhythm were consistent for the most part. The song also had a harmony. The musical
instruments, the singer's voice were combined along with the DJ's arrangement of beats and sounds. He created a new harmony different from the
original song using technology. And the pitches in each note were vertical. Timbre was also present in the song. There were different sounds and the
singer's tone changed at different points in the song, along with the music. And the frequency (the sound waves) changed throughout the song. Ranging

Though, getting through to him isn't easy. This is supported by the lyrics, "Hey, you. Can I learn your flavour? It's brand new. Now it's in the
papers. All I seem to see. Must be something underneath. Take two. I'm still tryna figure out what makes you hard on the call. I guess it comes
from your heart. 'Cause when your head's right, You take your time. There's something about the love for things you like. Fire when the strobe hits
you. Bet you're looking for something new. I feel the heat with you. Starin' off across the room. I dare you to play your cards, boy. You bet I'm a
TRNDSTTR, too. So watch me. Figure it out! It's all about what you bring to the crowd. Where your preference is loved. Mmm they're calling me
over. Set your fire on me. Like what I see, you getting closer. I–I didn't see who you came with, bet you looking for something new. I do not like the
original version of TRNDSTTR. Because it's too slow, the beat never drops, and it doesn't have the upbeat and relaxing background music the
Lucian's Remix has. Along with a bright and creative visual. The background music of the original had a depressing sound. That made me feel the
opposite of what I felt when I was listening to Lucian's Remix. Instead of feeling happy it made me sad. The visuals in the original music video were
in black and white, and the model didn't look happy at all, increasing the gloomy feel. The original was one minute longer and had more lyrics. This
song reminds me

Descriptive Essay About My Favorite Song
I am no stranger to the sound of silence, that apathetic conversation I have with myself in my head. I grew up being that weird kid that anyone can
pick on because I not dare myself to speak up to the verbal and sometimes even physical violence that occurred outside my comfort zone. In fear of
hurting someone's feelings because I knew what it's like to constantly have to be at war with everyone, even yourself. My name is Billy, I was named
by my uncle after Billy Joel. My uncle is the man who introduced me to the old classics. My favorite song of all time is "Hotel California" by the
Eagles. I've always enjoyed them, ever since I was a little girl. My uncle would play it all the time, and he would sing along. I'd watch him groove to

Subsequently, I've met some stoners who seemed more like thugs but, they were pretty chill to smoke with. In this gang of sad boys, one guy
would always talk about how much better he was than the rest of the people in this God forsaken town. In fact, he said he would make it big as a
rapper. Everytime he would preach about his unrealistic dreams, I would burst out laugh from how stupid he sounded, but who knew he would
become famous. To Illustrate how my life went downhill after I became a part of these guys' group, I'm going to chronologically describes the
events of my last day on Earth. The man who would talk about his life goals was named Eddie. Eddie had this character that no one else had, him
being so outgoing and funny caught my attention. I wouldn't say I developed feelings but I did adopt his mannerism because again, I had no self
identity. By doing this we've became close. He'd invite me everywhere he went. He would put me first then all of his friends. To be honest, I felt
great getting this much attention. Admittedly, I only hung out with Eddie because of his risky behavior. He was a daredevil in my eyes, and
everything he was I wanted to be. Although, Eddie had everybody fooled by his facade but I knew deep down how much of a monster he was. On a
cool Saturday night, Eddie invited me to a ghetto party at a shady, crime filled neighborhood. I stupidly accept his invitation, and we drove to the place.
As soon as we get there, my gut started turning.

Analyzing Merle Haggard's Song My Favorite Memory
One of the main reasons I chose to research memory was because it reminded me of a song that I know very well. The song is called My Favorite
Memory by Merle Haggard. In the song he sings these words "First time we met is a favorite memory of mine. They say time changes all it pertains
to but your memory is stronger than time." I settled with this song for several obvious reasons like being about a memory and being a song I know.
Merle Haggard's song is a hit off of his album Big City. In this song, he sings about a memory he remembers with a girl. Throughout the song he talks
about all the different things he remembers either doing or just enjoying with this particular girl. I related the meaning behind this song to just the word
memory. Memory...show more content...
The second memory process is storage, this means the information will be kept and maintained in the memory. The last process of a memory is
retrieval, this happens when the memory itself is brought to the mind. This song was about Merle Haggard's favorite memory, I realized that in this song
he went through all three of steps the memory process I explained previously. Singing the song he was moreover demonstrating the final step in the
process, bringing it to the mind. With studying the meaning of memory within this psychology class and this song, I do think that the media is precise
based on what I know. Along with this song and many other ones the media is a pretty smart source, considering you could learn more than you
think from just listening to a song. The media might not all be accurate but a lot of sources are relatable to the material we learn in class. A lot of
things that people sing in songs are stuff we have or will learn about in the future. Another reason why I chose to concentrate on memory was simply
because almost everyone has at least one. When everyone has a memory that just makes it an accessible thing to
