Music is more than just words that go to a beat; it’s about how songs make us feel and what they tell us. All songs have different messages, some maybe about sad, happy, exciting, etc. events. Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything. -Plato

My first track is Happy by Pharrell. This song is about being happy and telling everyone about it. This song describes me because it is a rare occasion that I’m not happy. In the song it says “Clap along if you feel happiness is the truth” and I determined it is. Everyone should be able to sense happy no matter what circumstance they are in. In there it also expresses, “Clap along if you know what …show more content…
This song title explains me pretty well. I’m not going to stop believing in anything until it happens or comes true. Just because things get tough people think it is fine to abandon what they are battling for. In the song it clams that “Some will win, some with lose” and that is true. Not everyone’s imagination will come true, but they will make new ones that will eventually come true.

The third soundtrack to my life is Shine Bright Like a Diamond by Rihanna. I picked this to describe me because I think I’m a bright person. To me there are two types of being bright. The first one is having a bright personality, and the other one is being a bright intelligent person. In the song it states that “Find light in the beautiful sea, I chose to be happy” to me this means that you can be bright in anything you want. Some people like math and science more and others like art and singing better, you can choose where you are bright at.

Finally the last track is Lean on by Major Lazer. “ All we need is someone to lean on” is sung in the song. Each person needs someone who they feel they can lean on, and I feel like I’m that person. I also am someone who leans on people in hard times. If I can lean on someone then someone should be able to lean on

Song Of Myself Analysis

For my project I wrote a poem that was inspired by Walt Whitman’s, “Song of Myself”. It used similar connections to nature and ideas about death. In both Whitman and mine, a big overlying idea is that death is natural, inevitable, and that it is not an end but a cycle that has existed before the life of an individual and will continue to go on long after they have gone. The transcendentalist principle that I connect with the most is idea of seeking truth through “solitude, reflection, and self-examination”…
