The album I’ve created is a compilation of three songs that in some ways describe situations of my life that have impacted me or that have changed me. How do these songs follow the situations of my life? These songs have lyrics and figurative language that in certain way accommodate to the felling or situation that I passed threw. The reason why I’m doing this is not certain. All I can say is that this song will hopefully make people understand the feelings that I passed through and in a way, appreciate those feelings. I hope rather than making people understand my feelings, I can understand those feelings My Self, a lot further. My main goal for this project is to choose creative songs that make sense with those various feelings that I have.
The first song that I’ve chose for my album is called “levitate” by the band Hadouken. I think that this song is important to me because the main message or word that the song highlights is the word “levitate”. One of my favorite hobbies, if not my favorite, is downhill biking and when I hit those huge jumps at the downhill track, I feel that I levitate. I think that this song connects to my life because it represents my downhill experiences, and downhill makes part of my life. The song reveals that I’m the kind of person who sees “extreme” sports from a whole different perspective. Most people think that this high risk sports are for crazy of sick people, but for my case, downhill brings me joy, and sometimes it brings me calm
The next song that I’m going to present is called “mirror” by Bruno Mars and Lil Wayne. This song is important to me because of the lyrics. These lyrics are composed of “ deep minded” thoughts and messages, and I feel that parts of these lyrics accord to some feelings that I’ve passed through. This song has a big connection in my life. One of the events that I wanted to explain were the changes of my life between ninth and tenth grade. This song talks about a person that looks at itself on the mirror and finds out lots of things that he didn’t realized. I see that I’m the same person that I was in ninth grade but at the same time I feel so different, I feel that a big change happened inside of me. This song has a very complex meaning and the relations between the song and myself are many. This song can show that I’m open to recognize what I was then and what I’m now
The last song is called “ I don’t want to miss a thing” by Aerosmith. The name of the song itself shows the feeling that I had when my brother left. Before he left I gad lots of discussions and fights with him, sometimes I hated him. But when he left I realized how important he was in my life, from that day on I did what I could to not miss a moment with him. This song reveals a soft side of me when it comes to a brother-to-brother relationship. When people are at their early ages, its common that they argue or fight with their siblings. I think that I left that stage of my life behind and opened the doors to forgiveness and brotherhood. The tittle of the song described almost literally what happened in my life when my brother moved out.
Thank you for reading my assignment. Hopefully after the explanations I gave of all the songs, you could understand why I chose each song. The songs “levitate”, “mirrors,” and “ I don’t want to miss a thing” are songs that I felt described my emotions and I hope that you could fin that connection too.
