Poetry runs through all our
lives. But perhaps the most obvious use of it is in music. Choose a song that
has some great lyrics. Post a link to the Youtube version of the track as a comment here. Next to the link, I
would like you to write out your favourite part of the lyrics and a short
paragraph explaining why this is your favourite part.
Here’s some from a song
called ‘Cortez the Killer’ by Neil Young that I really like:
And his subjects
Gathered 'round him
Like the leaves around a tree
In their clothes of many colors
For the angry gods to see
Gathered 'round him
Like the leaves around a tree
In their clothes of many colors
For the angry gods to see
I really like the imagery Neil Young paints with
these lyrics, really painting a picture in my mind of this character. I almost
feel like I could now write a story about this scene.

Your best friend, your baby, your man, or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye
I love this part of the song because it tells everyone that the people who have lost somebody special, will always be there with you and you haven't lost them.

ReplyDeletePart of me- Katy Perry
This is the part of me
That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
Throw your sticks and stones,
Throw your bombs and blows,
But you're not gonna break my soul.
I love this bit of Part of me because it's basically saying if someone ever is mean
to you it will never ruin your whole life.
A very important lesson in these lyrics.
DeleteCan we go back, this is the moment tonight is the night,well fight till its over so we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us.
ReplyDeletei really like this bit of can't hold us it is really motivational and it has an awsome beat.

ReplyDelete...if you cant see anything beautiful about Get a better mirror, look a little Closer.
Stare a little longer. Because theirs something inside you that made you keep trying despite every one who told you to quit. you built a cast around your broken heart
and signed it and said THEY WHERE WRONG!!!...
I enjoy this poem so much, some times when listening to it i feel that it speaks
to me
This poem is filled to the brim with emotion and meaning i truly love it!
You're so right, Nathan, you could choose any section of this poem and it would be overflowing with emotion and messages.

ReplyDeleteAnd we'll never be royals
It don't run in our blood
That kind of love just ain't for us,
we crave a different kind of buzz.
I like this part because it is real to the English motherland as we live in New Zealand. This means only the royal family live in England and New Zealanders crave to be different
Interesting choice. I always think these lyrics can be interpreted in so many different ways.
DeleteCan we go back, this is the moment tonight is the night,well fight till its over so we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us.

ReplyDeleteStay stay stay I've been loving you for quite some time time time
You think that it's funny when I'm mad mad mad
But I think that it's best if we both stay.
I like these lyrics because she repeats words which makes it catchy!! I think the words are quite meaning full!! Last but not least it by Taylor Swift!!!!��
The repeating of words can be quiet effective in poetry. What do the lyrics mean to/for you?

ReplyDeleteI chose beautiful by Christina agurila because it has a good message in it
I am beautiful no matter what they say.
Words can't bring me down.
I am beautiful in every single way.
Yes, words can't bring me down... Oh no.
So don't you bring me down today.
Great message, isn't it, about strength and not bowing to peer pressure.

It's very motivating and empowering this bit, I feel.
