There are things such as the weather changing plans or different plans coming up that stray us off the path of what we were planning to take. Things such as past mistakes in our lives however are very different from those little occurrences. Love, however, prevails and triumphs over these mistakes even though they may seem at the time like the end of the world. This kind of perseverance is shown throughout the song "Unstoppable" by Rascal Flatts, which tells about the different things that love can go through without fail.<br /><br />The song "Unstoppable" by Rascal Flatts shows just how strong the bond of love is and all that it can help to carry through. By saying, "So you made a lotta mistakes, walked down the road a little sideways, cracked a brick when you hit the wall" he is telling about the different struggles that this person has been though within their lifetime. Then he goes on to say, "Hey, it happens to us all, when the cold hard rain just won't quit and you can't see your way out of it." This is saying that it is not just that person that is faced with these unique situations everyday, but as a matter of fact, every single person that deals with this. "You find your faith has been lost and shaken... Get on your knees and dig down deep... It'll come and make you whole again, it always does. Love is unstoppable." This chorus helps the person move on from those past mistakes and know that it does not matter if you are perfect or if you have the worst luck. Love looks past all of those mistakes and on to the beauty that lies inside of the person. This is what matters most of all and that is the message given by the<br />song.<br /><br />Throughout the song there are many uses of poetic devices. It compares the past mistakes throughout her life as both a "walk down the road a little sideways" and a crack in "a brick when you hit the wall." It also uses imagery to describe the same thing, "you had a pocket full of regrets, pull you down faster than a sunset." There is also the usage of alliteration within the song when he says, "Get on your knees and dig down deep" and, "Bring you back to being born, again." Another one is, "You find your faith has been lost and shaken." Furthermore, there is another metaphor used to describe the depth of his love for her. When he says, "A lighthouse shinin’ on the coast that never goes dim" he is saying that his love will be like the lighthouse because his love for her will never fade or grow dim. Finally there is a usage of personification within the song. By saying, "Love it can weather in a storm" and, "It’s a helpin’ hand when you need it most" he is giving qualities to love that are similar to an object.<br /><br />The song "Unstoppable" by the Rascal Flatts is about the love for another person shown through metaphors, similes, personification and many other figurative language strategies. He shows that a passionate love is not effected by our past mistakes or the mistakes that we will eventually make in the future but by what we are like on the inside and that that is all that matters in the long run. Love is not about what we can do, but what we are like as a person. This is shown throughout this song.Sarah T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14966471586325368890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003669404427576152.post-13419582459168535792009-05-05T13:32:00.000-07:002009-05-05T13:50:56.697-07:00Music and the Arts Project AssignmentFor my project I am going to do a short story on "Unstoppable" by Rascal Flatts.<br /><br />So, so you made a lot of mistakes<br />Walked down the road a little sideways<br />Cracked a brick when you hit the wall<br />Yeah, you've had a pocketful of regrets<br />Pulled you down faster than a sunset<br />Hey, it happens to us all<br />When the cold, hard rain just won't quit<br />And you can't see your way out of it<br /><br />CHORUS:<br />You find your faith that's been lost and shaken<br />You take back what's been taken<br />Get on your knees and dig down deep<br />You can do what you think is possible<br />Keep on believing, don't give in<br />It'll come and make you whole again<br />It always will, it always does<br />Love is unstoppable<br /><br />Love, it can weather any storm<br />Bring you back to being born, again<br />Oh, it's the helping hand when you need it most<br />The lighthouse shining on the coast<br />That never goes dim<br />When your heart is full of doubt<br />And you think that there's no way out<br /><br />You find your faith that's been lost and shaken<br />You take back what's been taken<br />Get on your knees and dig down deep<br />You can do what you think is possible<br />Keep on believing, don't give in<br />It'll come and make you whole again<br />It always will, it always does<br />Love is unstoppable<br />It's unstoppable<br /><br />Like a river keeps rollin'<br />Like a North wind blowin'<br />Don't it feel good knowin'<br />Yeah<br /><br />You find your faith that's been lost and shaken<br />You take back what's been taken<br />Get on your knees and dig down deep<br />You can do what you think is possible<br />Keep on believing, don't give in<br />It'll come and make you whole again<br />It always will, it always does<br />Love is unstoppable<br />Love is unstoppable<br /><br />So, so you made a lot of mistakes<br />Walked down the road a little sideways<br />Love, love is unstoppableSarah T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14966471586325368890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003669404427576152.post-83792069848579140532009-04-28T05:39:00.000-07:002009-04-28T05:45:50.706-07:00Social and Political Messages #2<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjHgOc0TjV4E9F-6T8Afu1bgTwnQyFXv3QwPzGzrUw98N4_EnoG4HxxEiY2sbRvOO2O5pjF4_z0rwiKtPfeKRl2AjlE-omtqe2ZdelZaVa9aXE_C9pAu18LVfCL7ep35n4PZA4J-3kFETB/s1600-h/Last+Name.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329722316638448722" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 188px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 158px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjHgOc0TjV4E9F-6T8Afu1bgTwnQyFXv3QwPzGzrUw98N4_EnoG4HxxEiY2sbRvOO2O5pjF4_z0rwiKtPfeKRl2AjlE-omtqe2ZdelZaVa9aXE_C9pAu18LVfCL7ep35n4PZA4J-3kFETB/s320/Last+Name.jpg" border="0" /></a> Last Name lyrics <div>Songwriters: Underwood, Carrie; Laird, Luke; Lindsey, Hillary; </div><div> </div><div>Last night I got served a little bit too much of that poison, baby</div><div>Last night I did things I'm not proud of and I got a little crazy</div><div>Last night I met a guy on the dance floor and I let him call me baby</div><br /><div></div><div>And I don't even know his last name</div><div>My momma would be so ashamed</div><div>It started off, "Hey cutie, where are you from?"</div><div>And then it turned into, "Oh no, what have I done?"</div><div>And I don't even know his last name</div><br /><div></div><div>And he left the club about around 3 o'clock in the mornin?</div><div>His Pinto is sittin? there in the parkin? lot when it should?ve been a warnin?</div><div>And I had no clue what I was gettin? into so I blame it on the Cuervo</div><div>Oh, where did my manners go?</div><br /><div></div><div>And I don't even know his last name</div><div>My momma would be so ashamed</div><div>It started off, "Hey cutie, where are you from?"</div><div>And then it turned into, "Oh no, what have I done?"</div><div>And I don't even know his last name, here we go!</div><br /><div></div><div>Today I woke up thinkin' ?bout Elvis somewhere in Vegas, I'm not sure</div><div>How I got here or how this ring on my left hand just appeared</div><div>Outta nowhere, I gotta go, I take the chips and the Pinto and hit the road</div><div>They say what happens here stays here, all of this'll disappear</div><div>It's just one little problem</div><br /><div></div><div>I don't even know my last name</div><div>My momma would be so ashamed</div><div>It started off, "Hey cutie, where are you from?"</div><div>And then it turned into, "Oh no, what have I done?"</div><div>And I don't even know my last name</div><br /><div></div><div>What have I done?

It talks about a woman who went to a bar in Vegas and she gets drunk. Once she wakes up in the morning, she finds, “this ring on my left hand” and finds out that when she was drunk at the bar she hooked up with a guy and she does not “even know (her) last name”. This message is about all of the people in our world that find themselves in these situations. People everywhere find themselves getting wasted and not remembering what events occurred the past day. This ever so popular method of spending evenings around our country is becoming out of control and if we all start to partake of this behavior, we ourselves might just find ourselves if not married, in some other predicament such as jail or even injured.<br />By producing this song, Carrie Underwood was social message of lost love as well. It is funny how, in our society today, there is little similarities to what love used to be 100 years ago. People are getting married and divorced at an astounding rate as well as getting drunk or carried away in places such as Vegas and tying the knot a bit too soon. If love was to be slowed down and not just all passion and in the moment, things would be longer lasting. (Not saying that that stuff is not good now and then!) These social messages are found throughout the song “Last Name” by Carrie Underwood.</span></div>Sarah T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14966471586325368890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003669404427576152.post-46670077716226798842009-04-28T05:32:00.000-07:002009-04-28T05:39:50.806-07:00Social or Political Messages #1<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLH-04qfvFyv7TvDNgiE0BSnJt09Cae05ZQ8jgVqjcATERjpPDtV2FdY6aFYq31Zz8TBHtjpJCeog-jeyFCdypsiNSs_CnQb98KKbjtz6i6j3uq1b4NNy-JYjJilJTcQWecqoX2g0jcRUs/s1600-h/change.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329720600556750946" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 232px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 209px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLH-04qfvFyv7TvDNgiE0BSnJt09Cae05ZQ8jgVqjcATERjpPDtV2FdY6aFYq31Zz8TBHtjpJCeog-jeyFCdypsiNSs_CnQb98KKbjtz6i6j3uq1b4NNy-JYjJilJTcQWecqoX2g0jcRUs/s320/change.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Change lyrics</div><br /><div>By: Carrie Underwood</div><br /><div>And it's a sad picture<br />The final blow hits you </div><div>Somebody else gets </div><div>What you wanted again </div><div>You know it's all the same </div><div>Another time and place </div><div>Repeating history </div><div>And you're getting sick of it </div><br /><div></div><div>But I believe in whatever you do </div><div>And I'll do anything to see it through </div><div>Because these things will change </div><br /><div></div><div>Can you feel it now? </div><div>These walls that they put up </div><div>To hold us back </div><div>Will fall down </div><div>It's a revolution </div><div>The time will come for us to finally win </div><div>We'll sing hallelujah </div><div>We'll sing hallelujah, oh </div><br /><div></div><div>So we've been outnumbered </div><div>Raided and now cornered </div><div>It's hard to fight </div><div>When the fight ain't fair<br /><br />We're getting stronger now </div><div>Found things they never found </div><div>They might be bigger </div><div>But we're faster and never scared </div><br /><div></div><div>You can walk away </div><div>Say we don't need this </div><div>But there's something in your eyes </div><div>Says we can beat this </div><div>'Cause these things will change </div><br /><div></div><div>Can you feel it now? </div><div>These walls that they put up </div><div>To hold us back </div><div>Will fall down </div><div>It's a revolution </div><div>The time will come for us to finally win </div><div>We'll sing hallelujah </div><div>We'll sing hallelujah, oh </div><br /><div></div><div>Tonight we'll stand and get off our knees </div><div>Fight for what we've worked for </div><div>All these years </div><div>The battle was long </div><div>It was the fight of our lives </div><div>But we'll stand up, champions tonight </div><div>It was the night things changed </div><br /><div></div><div>Can you see it now? </div><div>The walls that they put up </div><div>To hold us back </div><div>Fell down </div><div>It's a revolution </div><div>Throw your hands up </div><div>'Cause we never gave in </div><div>We'll sing hallelujah </div><div>We sang hallelujah </div><div>Hallelujah</div><br /><div></div><br /><div><span style="color:#006600;">Analysis: </span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#006600;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#006600;">The song “Change” by Taylor Swift has a social message about the challenges of society and relationships. It talks about how, “Somebody else gets what you wanted again” meaning someone gets the something or someone that you wanted. It then goes to say that, “These walls that they put up To hold us back Will fall down It's a revolution The time will come for us to finally win”. This says that one day, these barriers or blockades in the fight will be broken and you will be able to get that something or someone that you wanted and become “champions tonight”. The message about fighting for what is right is a continuous theme throughout the song “Change”. This social message helps to show people that they will succeed in whatever they are going for if they stand united for the cause.</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#006600;"></span></div>Sarah T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14966471586325368890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003669404427576152.post-65867270247772121292009-04-08T09:22:00.000-07:002009-04-08T09:27:59.310-07:00Imagery #2There's somethin' 'bout the way<br />The street looks when it's just rained<br />There’s a glow off the pavement<br />Walk me to the car<br />And you know I wanna ask you to dance right there<br />In the middle of the parking lot<br />Yeah<br /><br />We're drivin' down the road<br />I wonder if you know<br />I'm tryin' so hard not to get caught up now<br />But you're just so cool<br />Run your hands through your hair<br />Absent mindedly makin' me want you<br /><br />And I don't know how it gets better than this<br />You take my hand and drag me head first<br />Fearless<br />And I don't know why but with you I'd dance<br />In a storm in my best dress<br />Fearless<br /><br />So baby drive slow<br />‘Til we run out of road in this one horse town<br />I wanna stay right here in this passenger’s seat<br />You put your eyes on me<br />In this moment now capture every memory<br /><br />And I don't know how it gets better than this<br />You take my hand and drag me head first<br />Fearless<br />And I don't know why but with you I’d dance<br />In a storm in my best dress<br />Fearless<br /><br />Well you stood there with me in the doorway<br />my hands shake<br />I'm not usually this way but<br />You pull me in & I’m a little more brave<br />It’s the first kiss, it's flawless, really somethin’, it’s fearless.<br /><br />And I don't know how it gets better than this<br />You take my hand and drag me head first<br />Fearless<br />And I don't know why but with you I’d dance<br />In a storm in my best dress<br />Fearless<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#ff6600;">Analysis:</span></strong><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;"> The song “Fearless” by Taylor Swift uses imagery to create a feeling of love for another person. When she says, “my hands shake, I'm not usually this way, but you pull me in & I’m a little more brave. It’s the first kiss, it's flawless, really somethin’, it’s fearless” she is describing what is happening to her when she has her first kiss. The image of her standing there shaking helps the listener to understand just how this moment feels when it takes place. It is enhanced through the use of imagery appealing to these senses.<br /> Another way that this song appeals to the senses is when she says, “But you're just so cool, run your hands through your hair, absent mindedly makin' me want you.” She is using the imagery for the senses of touch and sight when she is talking about how he acts when they are together. When he puts his hand through his hair, she is more attracted to her and you can picture a guy putting his hand through his luscious locks of hair. These are ways that imagery is used throughout “Fearless”. </span>Sarah T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14966471586325368890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003669404427576152.post-5606757428664513522009-04-08T09:16:00.000-07:002009-04-08T09:22:31.274-07:00Imagery #1“Lost in this Moment”<br />by Big & Rich<br /><br />See your mama and the candles and the tears and roses<br />I see your daddy walk his daughter down the aisle<br />and my knees start to tremble as I tell the preacher<br />Don't she look beautiful tonight?<br /><br />All the wonderful words in my head I've been thinkin'<br />Ya know I wanna say em all just right<br />I lift your veil and angels start singing<br />Such a heavenly sight<br /><br />Lost in this moment with you<br />I am completely consumed<br />My feeling's so absolute<br />There's no doubt<br />Sealing our love with a kiss<br />Waited my whole life for this<br />Watching all my dreams come true<br />Lost in this moment with you<br /><br />I smell the jasmine floatin' in the air like a love song<br />Watch my words draw sweet tears from your eyes<br />Bow our heads while the preacher talks to Jesus<br />Please bless this brand new life, yeah<br /><br />Lost in this moment with you<br />I am completely consumed<br />My feeling's so absolute<br />There's no doubt<br />Sealing our love with a kiss<br />Waited my whole life for this<br />Watching all my dreams come true<br />Lost in this moment with you<br /><br />Lost in this moment with you<br />I am completely consumed<br />My feeling's so absolute<br />There's no doubt<br />Sealing our love with a kiss<br />Waited my whole life for this<br />Watching all my dreams come true<br />Lost in this moment with you<br /><br />Lost in the moment<br />In this moment with you<br />Lost in the moment<br />Lost in the moment<br />In this moment with you<br />Lost in the moment<br /><br /><span style="color:#ff6600;"><strong>Analysis: </strong><br /><br />The song “Lost in this moment” by Big & Rich uses imagery to appeal to the five senses. By saying, “See your mama and the candles and the tears and roses. I see your daddy walk his daughter down the aisle” they are appealing to the sense of sight. They are also appealing to the sense of smell when talking about the roses. Another way that they appeal to the sense of smell is when they say, “I smell the jasmine floatin' in the air like a love song.” This helps the reader show how good the smell is throughout the room and it also compares it to a love song which relates to the sense of hearing. These are some ways that Big & Rich uses imagery to appeal to the five senses.</span><span style="color:#990000;"> </span>Sarah T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14966471586325368890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003669404427576152.post-26889610523801997682009-03-26T14:18:00.000-07:002009-03-27T07:23:53.220-07:00FOUND POEM<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh66JjnKwl3wFvYsx9ouGi8XWew7BXwfxXM3QcH9JZoRmJusoX-gYouzrJLkk_-34MxiQbhmF9KSL-TkUnphswAe_OazZHx1Yykk6bvtveKZP0f8N8TBM44xiyIheWmWViO4XcC-C2Vzs7C/s1600-h/love.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317872716722288418" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 119px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 138px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh66JjnKwl3wFvYsx9ouGi8XWew7BXwfxXM3QcH9JZoRmJusoX-gYouzrJLkk_-34MxiQbhmF9KSL-TkUnphswAe_OazZHx1Yykk6bvtveKZP0f8N8TBM44xiyIheWmWViO4XcC-C2Vzs7C/s320/love.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div align="left"><strong>My Love Story</strong></div><br /><div align="left">I wanna kiss a girl,<br />and be the happiest man in the world.<br />So put your lips on mine,<br />because I love you.<br />I gave you my hand,<br />because you were everything to me.<br /> So close your eyes,<br /> and go with me,<br /> somewhere we can be alone.<br /> It's a love story.<br /><br /><em><span style="font-size:85%;"> Songs:</span></em><br /><em><span style="font-size:85%;"> -<strong>Kiss a Girl</strong> by:Keith Urban</span></em><br /><em><span style="font-size:85%;"> -<strong>Go With Me</strong> by: Josh Turner</span></em><br /><em><span style="font-size:85%;"> -<strong>Love Story</strong> by: Taylor Swift</span></em></div>Sarah T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14966471586325368890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003669404427576152.post-40148874742247163552009-03-23T09:35:00.000-07:002009-03-23T09:41:07.197-07:00Repetition of Sounds #2<strong>“Sweet Thing”</strong> <em>By: Keith Urban</em><br /><em></em><br />When I picked you up for our first date baby<br />Well, your pretty blue eyes, they were drivin' me crazy<br />And the tiny little thought that was so amazing<br />Is they were lookin at me.<br /><br />I held open the car door for you then you climbed<br />Inside and slid on over<br />To the other side...

When she sings, “Right now, he's probably slow dancing with a bleach blonde tramp, and she's probably getting frisky. Right now, he's probably buying her some fruity little drink 'cause she can't shoot whiskey. Right now, he's probably up behind her with a pool stick showing her how to shoot a combo” she uses this form of repetition to show her frustration. She also uses it in the second verse to prove the same point; her frustration with him. The repetition shows just how much the fact of his cheating makes her mad. The repetition therefore adds to or enhances the song and helps her prove her point.Sarah T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14966471586325368890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003669404427576152.post-75651467480196537972009-03-19T06:56:00.000-07:002009-03-19T06:58:18.384-07:00Analysis of Repetition #1“Last Name” by: Carrie Underwood<br /><br />Throughout the first verse of the song “Last Name” by Carrie Underwood the use of Anaphora is found. She says, “Last night I got served a little bit too much of that poison baby. Last night I did things I'm not proud of and I got a little crazy. Last night I met a guy on the dance floor and I let him call me baby.” She uses this type of repetition to get the point across that she was at a bar <em>“last night”</em> and she was not in the clearest state of mind. This enhances the song by making the listener understand that she was there <em>“last night”.</em>Sarah T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14966471586325368890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003669404427576152.post-56278455563339202542009-03-12T12:10:00.000-07:002009-03-12T12:16:40.701-07:00Repetition #2"Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood<br /><br />Right now,<br />He's probably slow dancing with a bleach blonde tramp<br />And she's probably getting frisky<br />Right now,<br />He's probably buying her some fruity little drink<br />'Cause she can't shoot whiskey<br />Right now,<br />He's probably up behind her with a pool stick showing<br />Her how to shoot a combo<br />And he don't know...<br /><br />I dug my key into the side of his pretty<br />little suped up four wheel drive<br />Carved my name into his leather seats<br />Took a Louisville slugger to both headlights<br />Slashed a hole in all four tires<br />Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats<br /><br />Right now,<br />She's probably up singing some white<br />trash version of Shania karaoke<br />Right now,<br />She's probably saying I'm drunk<br />and he's thinking that he's gonna get lucky<br />Right now,<br />He's probably dabbing on three dollars<br />worth of that bathroom polo<br />Oh, and he don't know...<br /><br />That I dug my key into the side<br />Of his pretty little suped up four wheel drive<br />Carved my name into his leather seats<br />Took a Louisville slugger to both head<br />lightsSlashed a hole in all four tires<br />Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats<br /><br />I might've saved a little trouble for the next girl<br />'Cause the next time that he cheats<br />Oh, you know it won’t be on me<br />No, not on me<br /><br />Oh maybe next time he'll think before he cheats<br />Oh before he cheats<br />Oh...<br /><br />'Cause I dug my key into the side<br />Of his pretty little suped up four wheel drive<br />Carved my name into his leather seats<br />Took a Louisville slugger to both head<br />lightsSlashed a hole in all four tires<br />Maybe next time he'll think before he cheatsSarah T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14966471586325368890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003669404427576152.post-7433771209966341792009-03-12T12:01:00.000-07:002009-03-12T12:10:14.789-07:00Repetition #1"Last Name" by Carrie Underwood<br /><br />Last night I got served a little bit too much of that poison baby<br />Last night I did things I'm not proud of<br />And I got a little crazy<br />Last night I met a guy on the dance floor<br />And I let him call me baby<br /><br />And I don't even know his last name<br />Oh, my mama would be so ashamed<br />It started off "Hey cutie, where ya from?"<br />And then it turned in,<br />"Oh no, what have I done?"<br />And I don't even know his last name<br /><br />We left the club right around three o'clock in the morning<br />His Pinto sitting there in the parking lot Well it should have been a warning<br />I had no clue what I was getting into<br />So I blame it on the Cuervo<br />Oh where did my manners go?<br /><br />And I don't even know his last name<br />Oh, my mama would be so ashamed<br />It started off "Hey cutie, where ya from?"<br />And then it turned in,<br />"Oh no, what have I done?"<br />And I don't even know his last name<br />Here we go...<br /><br />Today I woke up thinkin' about Elvis somewhere in Vegas<br />I'm not sure how I got here<br />Or how this ring on my left hand just appeared out of nowhere<br />I gotta go<br />I take the chips and the Pinto and hit the road<br />They say what happens here stays here<br />All of this will disappear<br />There's just one little problem...<br /><br />I don't even know my last name<br />Oh my mama would be so ashamed<br />It started off "Hey cutie, where ya from?"<br />And then it turned in,<br />"Oh no, what have I done?"<br />And I don't even know my last name<br /><br />What have I done<br />What have I done<br />What have I done<br />Oh, what have I done<br />I don't even know my last name<br /><br />It turned into<br />"Oh no, what have I done?"<br />And I don't even know my last<br /><br />It started off "Hey cutie, where ya from?"<br />And then it turned into<br />"Oh no, what have I done?"<br />And I don't even know my last name<br /><br />my last nameSarah T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14966471586325368890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003669404427576152.post-81424596530302638502009-03-01T11:59:00.000-08:002009-03-01T12:03:39.503-08:00Metaphor #2 Analysis<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfP7ZaZaYjexp7MCHvA5w2k9g3lG_HiI1ajb3zmqRpsB-WRwk39qgYlvuh3FN74EZ_6Mj0h0eK-MBJbl0-dPjTmnqmvu3vq81tnzktVGOAs2I0DpeaNkYLAEqU08zP7Tj4C1n5RRs6vBMv/s1600-h/Keith+Urban.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308312362971433010" style="FLOAT: right;

Most of the metaphors are shown in the chorus when he says “I wanna be the wind that fills your sails & be the hand that lifts your veil be the moon that moves your tide the sun comin up in your eyes be the wheel that never rusts be the spark that lights you up all that you've been dreaming of & more so much more I wanna be your everything”. These examples of metaphors are used to tell the woman that he wants to be her everything. He uses these illustrations to tell her of his love for her and that he would do anything or be anything for her affection. The chorus in this song is a perfect sample of many different metaphors. </div>Sarah T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14966471586325368890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003669404427576152.post-75753443862599448012009-03-01T11:56:00.000-08:002009-03-01T11:59:33.853-08:00Metaphor #1 Analysis<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcaORHxtkySGWaJthPEZiS2JK72hIm1HRNN_sp8C2VE4MYtjy0pfC4UvQDQJ_RYoDklLIMzZQzgFFyz58HBnpBi1zDT6ztoxuqJEqOXGxaIHuFRpfF-40uqAES28aQ9_L8FBUHABCsNaSh/s1600-h/carrie+underwood.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308311397906842018" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 93px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 124px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcaORHxtkySGWaJthPEZiS2JK72hIm1HRNN_sp8C2VE4MYtjy0pfC4UvQDQJ_RYoDklLIMzZQzgFFyz58HBnpBi1zDT6ztoxuqJEqOXGxaIHuFRpfF-40uqAES28aQ9_L8FBUHABCsNaSh/s320/carrie+underwood.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Throughout the song "Inside Your Heaven" by Carrie Underwood she talks about how she wants to be just that, she wants to be inside his heaven. In saying "I wanna be inside your heaven" she is using a metaphor to tell him that she wants to be apart of his world. She also says "All my dreams are in your eyes" to say that everything that she has dreamed of is with him. She is using this metaphor to tell him that he is everything she dreamed and more. Another example of a metaphor is when she says "Every time I see you I'm alive". This statement means that whenever she is around him she has something worth living for and therefore she becomes alive! These are some examples of metaphors throughout this song. </div>Sarah T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14966471586325368890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003669404427576152.post-63184001781201594792009-02-26T05:52:00.000-08:002009-03-01T11:36:22.762-08:00Metaphor Song #2<strong>"Your Everything"</strong><br />By: Keith Urban<br /><br />The first time I looked in your eyes I knew<br />that I would do anything for you<br />The first time you touched my face I felt<br />what I never felt with anyone else<br />I wanna give back what you've given to me &<br />I wanna witness all of your dreams<br />Now that you've shown me<br />who I really am<br />I wanna be more than just your man<br /><br />I wanna be the wind that fills your sails &<br />be the hand that lifts your veil<br />be the moon that moves your tide<br />the sun comin up in your eyes<br />be the wheel that never rusts<br />be the spark that lights you up<br />all that you've been dreaming of & more<br />so much more<br />I wanna be your everything<br /><br />When you wake up<br />I'll be the first thing you see &<br />when it gets dark<br />you can reach out to me<br />I'll cherish your words &<br />I'll finish your thoughts &<br />I'll be your compass baby<br />when you get lost<br /><br />I wanna be the wind that fills your sails &<br />be the hand that lifts your veil<br />be the moon that moves your tide<br />the sun comin up in your eyes<br />be the wheel that never rusts<br />be the spark that lights you up<br />all that you've been dreaming of & more<br />so much more<br />I wanna be your everything<br /><br />I'll be the wheel that never rusts<br />be the spark that lights you up<br />all that you've been dreaming of & more<br />so much more<br />I wanna be your everything<br /><br />I wanna be your everything<br />I wanna be your everythingSarah T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14966471586325368890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003669404427576152.post-86911011187036747472009-02-26T05:45:00.000-08:002009-02-26T05:51:51.947-08:00Metaphor Song #1<strong>"Inside Your Heaven"</strong><br />By:Carrie Underwood<br /><br />I've been down<br />Now I'm blessed<br />I felt a revelation coming around<br />I guess its right, it's so amazing<br />Every time I see you I'm alive<br />You're all I've got<br />You lift me up<br />The sun and the moonlight<br />All my dreams are in your eyes<br /><br />I wanna be inside your heaven<br />Take me to the place you cry from<br />Where the storm blows your way<br />I wanna be the earth that holds you<br />Every bit of air you're breathin' in<br />A soothin' wind<br />I wanna be inside your heaven<br /><br />When we touch, when we love<br />The stars light up<br />The wrong becomes undone<br />Naturally, my soul surrenders<br />The sun and the moonlight<br />All my dreams are in your eyes<br /><br />And I wanna be inside your heaven<br />Take me to the place you cry from<br />Where the storm blows you away<br />And I wanna be the earth that holds you<br />Every bit of air you're breathing in<br />A soothing wind<br />I wanna be inside your heaven<br /><br />When minutes turn to days and years<br />If mountains fall, I'll still be here<br />Holdin you until the day I die<br />And I wanna be inside your heaven<br />Take me to the place you cry from<br />Where the storm blows you away<br /><br />I wanna be inside your heaven<br />Take me to the place you cry from<br />Where the storm blows you away<br />I wanna be the earth that holds you<br />Every bit of air you're breathin' in<br />A soothin' wind<br />I wanna be inside your heaven<br />Oh yes I do<br />I wanna be inside your heavenSarah T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14966471586325368890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003669404427576152.post-75337269506326922322009-02-25T12:18:00.000-08:002009-02-25T12:19:59.597-08:00Song #2 Analysis<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPPkPeQuuwmvAosbD3Veashf1U6Mcl0Tm-boD1NCIg79qHwGYsksAsEGeTKF0HwfukEMGbntPbeLpk2AtXK2Kb2zhup7aLapZJghcttBtP882JPMYFB_-5ZgRrsCTE42DYpkKBV4jBxOvR/s1600-h/keith+anderson.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306832304229872338" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 182px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 158px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPPkPeQuuwmvAosbD3Veashf1U6Mcl0Tm-boD1NCIg79qHwGYsksAsEGeTKF0HwfukEMGbntPbeLpk2AtXK2Kb2zhup7aLapZJghcttBtP882JPMYFB_-5ZgRrsCTE42DYpkKBV4jBxOvR/s320/keith+anderson.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Pickin’ Wildflowers by Keith Anderson is a song about someone wanting to get together with someone they fancy. Similes are used throughout the song to help create a picture. By saying “Hey Daisy don't you worry 'bout your mama, like 007 we can keep it covert.” he is saying that she does not have to worry about her mom finding out about them because they will keep it a secret like 007 does in the movies. Another simile is “Dive on in like honey bees.” When he compares then to honey bees he is talking about how the bees pollinate flowers by diving into them and taking the pollen to different places. The song has two good examples of similes within the song lyrics.</div>Sarah T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14966471586325368890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003669404427576152.post-91292865271221027032009-02-25T12:13:00.000-08:002009-02-25T12:18:38.732-08:00Simile #1 Analysis<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDR_JIDk0QkRZQGKj-bcDrkXnJBCy5TLnDE4a1ScHfrLPffP01EGk_lQSshbA497l3ETsJ5o_7DkbP34zJ-r2vGXRcS_PVOfxXBdSTMFC9f3fdpoyZRK0M79tSN_Ae_rzA-bzSrYUkQCPY/s1600-h/rascal+flatts.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306831449843194402" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 165px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 129px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDR_JIDk0QkRZQGKj-bcDrkXnJBCy5TLnDE4a1ScHfrLPffP01EGk_lQSshbA497l3ETsJ5o_7DkbP34zJ-r2vGXRcS_PVOfxXBdSTMFC9f3fdpoyZRK0M79tSN_Ae_rzA-bzSrYUkQCPY/s320/rascal+flatts.jpg" border="0" /></a> The song “Stand” by the Rascal Flatts is about someone that is telling that they are close with not to give up and “keep holding on.” This song uses many similes He tells this special person that their life is “like a novel with the end ripped out” meaning that they get to decide their own future. He also says that “You feel like a candle in a hurricane. Just like a picture with a broken frame. Alone and helpless like you've lost your fight, but you'll be alright” to let them know that whenever they feel insignificant or unloved that they are and they get to decide their destiny. Through these similes he is able to tell this special person how he feels!Sarah T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14966471586325368890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003669404427576152.post-31736735493520824132009-02-24T09:38:00.000-08:002009-02-25T12:04:54.315-08:00Simile Song #2Pickin’ Wildflowers By: Keith Anderson<br /><br />Hey baby whatcha doin' this evening?<br />Can you meet me down at the railroad tracks?<br />I got Tom Petty playin' in my Silverado,<br />And I iced down a six-pack.<br /><br />Hey Daisy don't you worry 'bout your mama,<br />Like 007 we can keep it covert.<br />Undercover on the ground by the water<br />Gonna get a little peace... on earth.<br /><br />Chorus:<br />Baby whatcha say we go pickin' wildflowers?<br />Got a spot way back in the woods.<br />Sneak away for a couple of hours,<br />You and me baby, pickin' wildflowers.<br /><br />Hey baby, Mother Nature is waitin'<br />And love's bloomin' like a cherry tree.<br />Let's buzz around, maybe do some pollenating,<br />Dive on in like honey bees.<br /><br />Repeat Chorus<br /><br />Take a trail ride if you know what I mean.<br />Hey baby won't you come with me?<br /><br />Repeat Chorus X2Sarah T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14966471586325368890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003669404427576152.post-15330334750278513462009-02-24T09:33:00.000-08:002009-02-25T12:04:29.405-08:00Simile Song #1You feel like a candle in a hurricane<br />Just like a picture with a broken frame<br />Alone and helpless like you've lost your fight<br />But you'll be alright<br />You'll be alright<br /><br />Cause when push comes to shove<br />You taste what you're made of<br />You might bend, till you break<br />Cause it's all you can take<br />On your knees you look up<br />Decide you've had enough<br />You get mad you get strong<br />Wipe your hands shake it off<br />Then you stand<br />Then you stand<br /><br />Life's like a novel with the end ripped out<br />The edge of a canyon with only one way down<br />Take what you're given before its gone<br />Start holding on, keep holding on<br /><br />Cause when push comes to shove<br />You taste what you're made of<br />You might bend, till you break<br />Cause it's all you can take<br />On your knees you look up<br />Decide you've had enough<br />You get mad you get strong<br />Wipe your hands shake it off<br />Then you stand (then you stand)<br />Yea, then you stand (then you stand)<br /><br />Everytime you get up<br />And get back in the race<br />One more small piece of you<br />Starts to fall into place, yea<br />Ooohhh<br />Stand By: Rascal Flatts<br /><br />Cause when push comes to shove<br />You taste what you're made of<br />You might bend, till you break<br />Cause it's all you can take<br />On your knees you look up<br />Decide you've had enough<br />You get mad you get strong<br />Wipe your hands shake it off<br />Then you stand (then you stand)<br />Then you stand (then you stand)<br />Yea, then you stand (then you stand)<br />Yea (then you stand)<br />Ohhh (then you stand)<br />Ohhh (then you stand)<br />Ohhh (then you stand)<br />Ohhh (then you stand)<br />Then you standSarah T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14966471586325368890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003669404427576152.post-53293565157865852832009-02-12T14:29:00.001-08:002009-02-12T14:33:32.195-08:00Analysis of "Bless the Broken Road"Love has many different meanings to people. From the heartbreak to the most passionate, the ups and downs of love come into play in all relationships and therefore are a part of many songs, especially country. Country music has the rollercoaster of emotions within most of its songs not only because it is prevalent in everyone’s day-to-day life, but also it is easy to talk about or in this case sing about. Rascal Flatts has created a seemingly endless love in most of their songs such as “Here” and “Love You Out Loud”. But the most undying love affair is found in the song “God Bless the Broken Road” by Rascal Flatts, which tells of the paths in his life that eventually led to this love through many poetic devices.<br /><br />The song “God Bless the Broken Road” is the story of someone’s life and an everlasting love, which he eventually stumbled across. “I set out on a narrow way many years ago” is his first line of the song in which he starts telling about the journey of his life. He says, “but I got lost a time or two wiped my brow and kept pushing through” which states that he did falter but he kept going because he knew that the love that he was searching for was out there somewhere and it would be worth all the hard work and effort that he put in if he kept going. By saying, “I couldn’t see how every sign pointed strait to you” he tells that he did not know that every sign in his life that he encountered brought him closer and closer to her. He also goes on to say in the chorus, “Every long lost dream led me to where you are, others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars pointing me on my way into your loving. This much I know is true, that God blessed the broken road that led me strait to you”. This statement says to his love that everything that he has experienced in his life such as the bad relationships or lost dreams was, “all part of a grander plan that is coming true” and that God blessed his life journey because it led him strait to her. This song relates to my theme of love in country music because it is about a man’s life that ultimately led to his new relationship.<br /><br />Throughout the song there are many uses of poetic devices. For instance, when he refers to the “broken road” the metaphor is talking about his trek through life. This could also be an example of figurative language because it is not an actual broken road but it is his life. Another poetic device used in the song is simile. “Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars pointing me on my way into your loving arms” compares his previous loves to Northern stars which helped him or led him to his newly found love. The tone or overall mood of the song was happy because the singer has a point and purpose in life. He feels as if all of his life was the map to the life that he has always wanted. The point of view in the song is that the things that happened in life were all worth it for her from his perspective. Style is used throughout the song in the form of imagery to tell of his life before the person in his life or the “broken road” and his life with her now. These are all uses of poetic devices used throughout the song.<br /><br />All through the song “God Bless the Broken Road” by Rascal Flatts the singer is talking or singing about a new relationship that he has been involved in. He tells the whole world that this person was worth all of the heartbreak and pain that he had experienced throughout his life because in the end it all led him to her. This song uses many poetic devices and is an excellent example of love through country music. Rascal Flatts has understood the meaning of unconditional love and has helped the music world to understand it as well. This song and the many other songs help the greater scope of country love and an understanding of love.Sarah T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14966471586325368890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003669404427576152.post-70182291261339491572009-02-12T14:26:00.001-08:002009-02-12T14:29:06.021-08:00"Bless The Broken Road" by Rascal FlattsI set out on a narrow way many years ago<br />Hoping I would find true love along the broken road<br />But I got lost a time or two<br />Wiped my brow and kept pushing through<br />I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you<br /><br />Every long lost dream led me to where you are<br />Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars<br />Pointing me on my way into your loving arms<br />This much I know is true<br />That God blessed the broken road<br />That led me straight to you<br /><br />I think about the years I spent just passing through<br />I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you<br />But you just smile and take my hand<br />You've been there you understand<br />It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true<br /><br />Every long lost dream led me to where you are<br />Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars<br />Pointing me on my way into your loving arms<br />This much I know is true<br />That God blessed the broken road<br />That led me straight to you<br /><br />Now I'm just rolling homeInto my lover's arms<br />This much I know is true<br />That God blessed the broken road<br />That led me straight to you<br /><br />That God blessed the broken road<br />That led me straight to you.Sarah T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14966471586325368890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003669404427576152.post-18827715756517301602009-02-04T15:53:00.000-08:002009-02-04T15:55:01.877-08:00NARRATIVE: “My Little Girl” by Tim McGrawThe song “My Little Girl” by Tim McGraw is a story told by a father about his daughter. He tells about the first time he ever saw her and how he thought that she was, “an angel wrapped in pink”. Then he skipped a few years to when she was a little older. Saying, “Now look at you, I've turned around and you've almost grown” he is telling her that she has grown too fast and before his eyes she has blossomed into a beautiful young woman. Finally he tells her that in the future, when some man comes into her life, “he won’t be good enough” because she is too good for anyone. He also tells her that to him she, “will always be, his little girl” and that nothing will change that!Sarah T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14966471586325368890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003669404427576152.post-491723097777745942009-02-04T14:03:00.000-08:002009-02-04T14:09:11.975-08:00LYRICS: “My Little Girl” by Tim McGrawVerse 1:<br />Gotta hold on easy as I let you go.<br />Gonna tell you how much I love you,<br />though you think you already know.<br />I remember I thought you looked like an angel wrapped in pink so soft and warm.<br />You've had me wrapped around your finger since the day you were born.<br /><br />Chorus:<br />Your beautiful baby from the outside in.<br />Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again.<br />Go on, take on this whole world.<br />But to me you know you'll always be, my little girl.<br /><br />Verse 2:<br />When you were in trouble that crooked little smile could melt my heart of stone.<br />Now look at you, I've turned around and you've almost grown.<br />Sometimes you're asleep I whisper "I Love You!" in the moonlight at your door.<br />As I walk away, I hear you say, "Daddy Love You More!".<br />(Repeat Chorus)<br /><br />Verse 3:<br />Someday, some boy will come and ask me for your hand.<br />But I won't say "yes" to him unless I know, he's the halfthat makes you whole,<br />he has a poet's soul, and the heart of a man's man.<br />I know he'll say that he's in love.<br />But between you and me.
