For What It's Worth Analysis

This song represents the talents that i have and what I have that we call determination. the song is fun and addicting for the whole family and more. Talent is tricky subject to get into, because this can go into many categories. I don't have many talents, but i get by and get the job done. In oak hill high school i was a silent and did not interact with anyone during class and man did i have bad acne. That's in the past and I grew confidence and i'm a manager at kfc. So things are not bad as their were back in the day when i was young and free. That's not the subject at hand,talents are really helpful and can entertain for years to come. Having no talent would make a person into that business guy that nobody likes. I mean nobody wants to be left out (except emos). The artist artist 009 sound system can be a good contender on what a person wants to be when the grow up and goto college” You can do anything you want to” that phrase helps represents the talent of adapting which I found out to be the most helpful to me. anyways talent can be a major part of like and should be taken seriously one day that talent can get that job the everyone else

The logos in the lyrics of this song are shown through the use of rhetorical and historical examples. A rhetorical example can be used to appeal to the use memories or experiences the audience has struggled through before to get to this point in time. A lyric from the song that supports this point is “overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism, but we still got terrorists her livin’ in the USA, the big CIA, the bloods and the crips and the KKK”. From a personal standpoint I can relate to these lyrics because our country has had a fair share of terrorism in the past. Thousands of innocent individuals have gone through such pain and suffering and are now stuck with such vivid memories for the rest of their lives. I can remember my mother telling me that my father was less than two blocks away from The World Trade Center moments before they were attacked. The emotions my mother was facing at the time would be indescribable, but she can recall everything and unfortunate will be able to for the rest of time. The logic and meaning behind these lyrics are the as a nation we are all trying to put an end to all the terrorism around our not only our country but around the globe were we billions of people are settled but the harsh reality behind it is that no matter how as society we advance or how hard we try we cannot put an end to it

In this song the band uses verses to show violent norms and states about how society still has hatred groups. The verses wrap around hatred groups with terrorism living in the United States. The song was written in the 2003 and states about then 9/11 attacks. “Nations droppin' bombs, Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones, With ongoing' sufferin' as the youth die young, So ask yourself is the lovin'

In many conflicts there are many different endings to them; arguments every day, accidents, wounds, injuries, broken hearts, and even deaths. Many ignorant people resolve their problems in fights and they hurt one

This song is about the voting and paying taxes. It represent the twenty-fourth amendment because get rid of poll taxes and citizens don’t have to pay to vote anymore.

Since the song was originally written in 2005, and then re appeared in the Fight With Tools album it makes sense that the song would by influenced by the war America was fighting in Iraq at the time. In 2003 the Bush administration decided to invade Iraq, and from then on until the present many Americans and non-Americans have died as a result of wartime violence. Even though the war went on many Americans really started to question the reason why the war was still going on if the weapons of mas destruction were already found, the reason given for the invasion of Iraq. Some also questioned the entire reason for the war; according to a MSNBC Documentary, “Some of the most senior officials in the U.S. government, including President Bush himself, Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, asserted these claims in public with absolute confidence, even while privately, ranking U.S. military officers and intelligence professionals were voicing their doubts”(“ How the Bush Administration Sold the Iraq War”). However, the people did nothing and the war continued. The song was meant for people who wanted to change what is happening around

While this song does convey a large and important message, what gives it its power is the situation our society is in right now. It is not hard to reflect on Macklemore’s song and realize all of the things he described are still very much in our world even today. People still hold physical possessions at an untouchable esteem, and practically worship brands.

These lines start out a song about finding what you are worth and what drives us. It’s lines also remind us about how the Great Depression took everything away from many people. Women and foreign born people had it the hardest when the wave of unemployment started. They were the first to go. Mothers couldn’t pay for food for their children and foreigners were looked at as scum. Women were also responsible for the families money, and they too cut costs by firing house workers. Many racist people would not hire African Americans and Native Americans were swept

This song relates to my topic because of the line “is it too late now to say sorry”. Yes I absolutely hate this song, but it demonstrates how the officer should have said sorry and paid for the hair cut. The colonists of the community were throwing ice and rocks, while the patriots shot and stabbed everyone. In the court case, the “leaders and people” of the colonists were charged with the crimes.

Patterson Hood, the lead singer of Drive-By Truckers, wrote “What It Means” a few years ago in protest of the Ferguson shooting of Trayvon Martin. To Hood’s disappointment, in addition to the disappointment of millions, the song is still incredibly appropriate in today’s society. In Killer Mike’s “Reagan,” Killer Mike does not only blame Reagan for the atrocities of society, but includes the administrations that follow in both H.W. and George Bush, Bill Clinton, and even Barack Obama. The point that both artists are trying to get across is that the idea of social and racial injustice is ever-common today as it was in some of the worst times in American history. The only difficulty in seeing the issues that plague society is that the knowledge of the average citizen is clouded by false information stimulated by politics. To find the truth in the corruption of society, it is up to each citizen of the country to address the notions that “There’s no sunlight in our ass’ and our heads are stuck up in it,” or if we “Will ever do it big, or just keep settling for lil’ shit?” In other words, everyone needs to start thinking about the truth with an intuitive, logical perspective as opposed to what politics are feeding the public. Also, if people want change, they cannot settle for small victories, they need to enact drastic actions to witness notable changes. An

Each and every day I look at the sky, wondering about what's the world outside of the Mississippi river. I was an enslaved in the great state of Missouri. I was born as a slave. Since I’m born as a slave, I have nothing to fight for, nothing to cried about, they’ve taken every single pieces of human right away from me.

This song shows the violence and injustice that was ever present during the early 1900's. This injustice is where the blues originated.

It highlights the struggles that are happening for people. There are some great guitar riffs and distortion. It has a verses/chorus composition. The song is a little bit slower to begin, but soon picks up the tempo, it is a great song to sing along because the lyrics are not distorted by the instruments, like you find with some other bands. This song was written by Richie Sambora, Jon Bon Jovi, and Desmond Child.

“Worth” is a song that I have grown to love especially when I feel worthless. It talks about God sacrificing his life just for my little life and just to remain free. When I am feeling down and worthless, it is my go to song it reminds me that I am worth something to someone. This song has changed and shaped my life because God took out time to clean me up inside and make me whole. It is a reminder life is not as bad especially when God is in the mist of it all.

This song has a lot of emotion behind it. I believe that when Beyoncé sings this song, she is sending off a message to the families of those who lost their lives during 9/11. She is singing from the victim’s point of view saying to remember me for the positive impact I have made in the world and how I strived to make the world a better place. She is singing to tell us that no matter how rich, successful, or famous you may be, always live your life to the fullest because you never know when it
