Funny Girl Song Analyse

551 Words3 Pages

1. Don’t Rain on My Parade / Barbra Streisand This song was written by Jule Styne(composer) and Bob Merrill(lyricist). After some research, I knew that this song was first used in a musical Funny Girl in 1964, and naturally, used in movie version of this musical in 1968. The composer Jule Styne was famous for a series of Broadway musicals. In his career, he used to be a vocal coach, however, he was fired and told should write songs because “that’s forever”. Then he started to make a living on this and even made a lot of wonderful work especially songs for movies and musicals which were really forever. Personally speaking, I think nobody’s gonna say that the song is not necessary after listening to this song. Simply reading the text, I know this lyrics want to show a girl’s optimism and confidence, however, without song, the block text is kind of monotonous. I mean, the song with emotional ups and downs perfectly brings the audience’s heart up and down and let them experience the optimism which the singer expresses at the top point at the end of this song. …show more content…

The Funny Girl shows a girl who was just an insignificant stage-struck teen, and after unremitting effort, she finally became a super Broadway star. However, she couldn't control the relationship and her husband going worse because her husband’s arrest for gambling. This song Don't Rain on My Parade was sung twice at the end of Act I(she married her husband) and the end of Act II(she broke up with her husband but resolved to pick up her life again). If we just listen to this song not knowing anything about this musical, we may only know how this girl is enthusiastic about singing and life, but we’ll never know what this girl experienced and learned from life, and what made her pick up her love to songs and life. Therefore, it cannot stand on its

    The first verse begins with "I like big butts and I cannot lie", and most of the song is about the rapper's attraction to large buttocks. The second and third verse challenge mainstream norms of beauty: "I ain't talkin' 'bout Playboy/'Cause silicone parts are made for toys" and "So Cosmo says you're fat/ Well I ain't down with that!". Sir Mix-a-Lot commented in a 1992 interview: "The song doesn't just say I like large butts, you know? The song is talking about women who damn near kill themselves to try to look like these beanpole models that you see in Vogue magazine."

    Music can be considered one of the most influential forms of expression within society. By exploring itself through the different senses such as sight, sound and feel, music can guide a person’s feelings through a broad array of emotions. Certain songs may even hold a special place in one’s heart. Whether it reminds them of a loved one, a place or even a time within their life that shares a meaning. “Pieces” by the band known as Red, would be the song I find resonates with me the most.

    Hip-hop is an influential form of music that displays an artist’s honest and revealing story that many of the general public can relate to. One of the many songs that I can relate to is “Love Yourz” written by J Cole. The song talks about how Cole reflects on the most important things in life such as love and happiness. He realizes that the money and fame didn’t bring him the happiness he desired. To gain true happiness, he needed to appreciate himself and those that love him.

    Beyond its role in the greater context of the plot, the song itself plays around with JFKDSLFJSDKLFJ. Lyrically, the song is quite bland. In particular, its imagery is clichéd: wedding bells, birds, roses, etc. However, this makes sense for someone who has fell in love for the first time. In addition, the repetition of the line “Till there was you” creates a lyrical base to which the previous line, referring to not being able to appreciate symbols of live, can return.

    The concept is something that I would really argue stand outs within getting parts in the theatre world, and Val accepts her decision unapologetically. I know I have a friend specifically that struggled getting a lead role simply because she was short and not as slender as the rest she was up against and it really upset her. This song overall gives an insight into how Val thinks and who her character is and while most might argue that it is disgusting or appalling to get work done in order to succeed, if it makes her happy I see nothing wrong with it. This song furthered along her story that she provided to the director and she approached it with such confidence that is needed in order to stand out. This song served to set Val apart from the rest in whatever way it took to do

    However, in this song you can feel the sadness behind her voice, like an era is coming to an end and she will come to an end with it. The raises in her voice on words like fear and year at the end are what make this song so excellent. Finally, in the last verse the accompaniment drops out and you are left with only her voice improvising the notes and adding beautiful little runs. All of this together made a beautiful sound and altogether a wonderful

    One of the most talented and the most popular singers of the modern time is considered to be Adele. For me, she is not only a popular singer but an icon and the great performer of moving and even heartbreaking songs. After I have accidentally heard her song on the radio for the first time, there was no one better for me in terms of singing. In her songs, I felt everything, including pain and joy, drive and hope. However, the most important characteristic of her songs is the soul that is felt in every particular case.

    Looking then at the song “for him.” readers/listeners can find some differences that make it seemingly impossible to claim that these two written works are so similar. For one, the two unnamed boys in this song don’t seem to have been able to show the world that they love each other - “And not everyone sees, we got this crazy chemistry, between us.” - but perhaps have tried. Readers/listeners aren’t exactly sure what has happened in these boys’ pasts, which is another notable difference. As with all songs, “for him.”
