That Don T Sound Like You Analysis

640 Words3 Pages

“That Don’t Sound Like You” is written by Rhett Akins, Ashley Gorley and Lee Brice, who is also the performer. This song was written and recorded in 2014 and released in 2015. Throughout grade school, Lee Brice was very close friends with a female classmate. After graduating they parted ways. Brice and his friend ended up meeting again one day and everything was different. A girl who once was a southern bell was transformed to a dull, lifeless person. She had met someone who changed her into a completely different person. Brice’s intended audience seem to be the girl first and foremost, but also young and older adults, those who have been through similar experiences. This twangy, casual country song is told with a forthright tone. The casual language of the song helps the audience understand the storyline much easier. The song is southern, so using words such as “drawl” and “gravel road” assist the listeners in thinking like the singer. The flow of the story is also easy to follow and explains the theme of new people causing change in one person. The girl, once full of life, separates from her best friend and meets a new guy in a …show more content…

He shows to her that he still cares deeply about her and she can change back, it’s not too late. At the end of the song the first three lines, “Girl, I’m glad you called, first heard you talk/ took me a second cause I couldn’t hear/ your drawl”, are repeated. The repetition of this line magnifies the change within his friend, the adaptation so large that her voice is completely different. After a long separation, the bond between these once best friends is only something of the past. It only takes one person to influence the change within another, no matter where they come from or who they grow up

    After evaluating Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng, Hear Me Now by Sophal Leng Stagg, and The Three Boxes by an unknown author. Each of these stories follow specific individuals in an environment different from their own culture and explains the difficulties and struggles they encounter. Living in a setting where you are out of place promotes an inability to acclimate therefore potentially making new people feel a loss of their cultural identity, encourages isolation, loneliness, and, in a lot of cases, prejudice. This behavior is exacerbated by xenophobia. Discrimination is a root cause of unrest for people in a cultural, class, or religious setting other than their own.

By saying “the sun” instead of “light”, she is tying in the actual beauty of nature and the hope it provides.

  • Ain T That A Shame Pat Boone Analysis

    By changing “oh well” to “farewell,” slowing down the chorus, and adding more emotion to his vocals, Pat Boone does not leave the song open for interpretation of the meaning the same way Fats Domino does. While this does help him appeal to his more conservative audience, his version does not seem to embody the mixed emotions one can experience when a relationship comes to an end. The Fats Domino version combines the sad lyrics with the easygoing and optimistic vocal delivery and background music. This allows his version to embody both the heartbreak one may feel, but also the bittersweetness of reaching the end of a relationship that is not working out. Additionally, the Fats Domino version also hints at moving on with the lyric “oh well, goodbye” and the upbeat music, which is another thing the listener may relate to when thinking about the end of a relationship.

The problem is that because of institutional racial attitudes that are embedded in our society, we have not really moved past the issue of racism, even though it may seem so. This racism may not be exactly what you think it is, or as extreme as back in the day of slavery and segregation, but as Jef states, it is our problem to deal with if we wish to leave a different world for future generations. Jef includes examples of present day racism and its issues in the article.

  • That Would Be Enough Analysis

    In both “Non-Stop” and “That Would Be Enough,” Lin-Manuel Miranda conveys success as an idea that can control the actions of people. He shows that it can make some people feel like the amount of success shows their self-worth and value. To get to the top, it does not come without problems; it can create strained relationships and differing views to arise within groups of people. These songs show that success can cause contention and is a motivational aspect for people, and that it is neither a wholly good or a wholly bad thing; along the way, it will mean going through both of these, possibly being problematic. One way that success is shown is through the usage of phrases that show how some people take success as a motivational aspect, when

    In respect to the instrumentation, all parts are dropped except for the clear piano and lead vocalist. And in respect to timbres, the lead vocalist reverts back to the original, pure texture. This change is meant to show the calmness of the individual; he had his breakdown and is now thinking clearly. In the lyrics, we see that the narrator is actually the subject of the song, which is meant to show the listener that they can never truly know who is suffering privately. In addition, the narrator has also confronted his ex, either emotionally or physically, and is deciding whether or not to end his own or her life.
