¶ … Lyrics for the Song, Your Reasons for Choosing it, And the Source Information
The song that was chosen is titled Airplanes by B.O.B. The lyrics are, "Can we pretend that airplanes. In the night sky are like shooting stars? I could really use a wish right now. Wish right now, wish right now. Can we pretend that airplanes In the night sky are like shooting stars? I could really use a wish right now. Wish right now, wish right now. Yeah, I could use a dream or a genie or a wish. To go back to a place much simpler than this. 'Cause after all the partyin' and smashin' and crashin'. And all the glitz and the glam and the fashion. And all the pandemonium and all the madness. There comes a time where you fade to the blackness
And when you starin' at that phone in your lap. And you hopin' but them people never call you back. But that's just how the story unfolds. You get another hand soon after you fold. And when your plans unravel in the sand. What would you wish for if you had one chance? So airplane, airplane, sorry I'm late I'm on my way so don't close that gate. If I don't make that then I'll switch my flight. And I'll be right back at it by the end of the night. Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky are like shooting stars? I could really use a wish right now. Wish right now, wish right now. Can we pretend that airplanes. In the night sky are like shooting stars? I could really use a wish right now. Wish right now, wish right now. Yeah, somebody take me back to the days. Before this was a job, before I got paid. Before it ever mattered what I had in my bank
Yeah, back when I was tryin' to get a tip at subway. And back when I was rappin' for the hell of it. But nowadays we rappin' to stay relevant. I'm guessin' that if we can make some wishes out of airplanes. Then maybe, oh, maybe I'll go back to the days. Before the politics that we call the...
And back when ain't nobody listened to my mix tape. And back before I tried to cover up my slang. But this is for the hater, what's up, Bobby Ray. So can I get a wish to end the politics?
And get back to the music that started this shit. So here I stand, and then again I say I'm hopin' we can make some wishes out of airplanes. Can we pretend that airplanes. In the night sky are like shooting stars? I could really use a wish right now. Wish right now, wish right now. Can we pretend that airplanes. In the night sky are like shooting stars? I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now, wish right now. I could really use a wish right now I, I, I could really use a wish right now. Like shooting stars. A wish, a wish right now." ("Airplane Lyrics") This song stands out based upon the experiences I had in overcoming adversity and trying to make something more out of my life. It also is demonstrating the challenges you will face when trying to do more. Yet, nothing is certain and there are many obstacles associated with living the dream.
The song was composed by B.O.B. And it is based upon his life experiences when trying to become a successful recording artist. As he was forced to break into the music business the hard way by distributing mixed tapes to different producers. At first, he mainly earned a living as a backup singer and had trouble making it on his own. However, in 2006 is when he was able to breakthrough and won several awards for best new artist. The song is about these frustrations he went through and the way this influenced his life. The lyrics are all of the emotions and determination he felt in the process of becoming successful. ("Bio") ("BOB Biography")
In this case, the various lyrics are embracing irony and a symbolism. The song is ironic as the middle to end vs. are demonstrating what would happen if things did not turn…

Song of Love Music is a universal language shared and understood across all countries and cultures. It can help express emotions and create an array of reactions, ranging from relaxed feelings to the most motivated ones. Apart from this, music can be used therapeutically for people who face difficulties physically, emotionally, cognitively or socially (Bodner). There is some difficulty when defining the concept of music therapy because there are numerous definitions
Of course, the question arises: why is the Andy Williams song a perfect theme for Romeo and not Juliet? Juliet, in contrast with Romeo, is more intelligent in her love than Romeo, and although she loves him, she does not as fully embrace his absolute belief that love will make everything come out right. "Though I joy in thee, / I have no joy of this contract to-night: / It is
"When I was your Man" By Bruno Mars Gifted Grammy award-winning singer, Bruno Mars, in his "When I Was Your Man," has largely utilized sad and regretful lyrics portraying longing for the woman who left him. However, does this really indicate he's now more sensible and mature, or is it simply wishful thinking? "When I was your Man" strikes straight at the hearts of people who lost a special person or
Song from the Sound of Music Shakespeare began the story of Twelfth Night with the line "If music be the food of love play on." Though, in the play, the Duke of Illyria, Orsino, asks for a surfeit of music in the hope that an overkill of love will help him overcome his infatuation for Olivia (Shakespeare, 1.1, 1-18), the line has now become immortalized as audiences have tended to
Gentle into That Good Night and This Is it: A Comparison Dylan Thomas' poem Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night and the Kenny Loggins, Michael McDonald song This Is It both deal with the mortality of man. Each is a plea to a dying father, Thomas' and Loggins', not to give up the good fight as they neared death. Both works are saying that even at the end
Rock History -- Analyzing Songs Since I Don't Have You -- the Skyliners The arrangement by the Skyliners is very effective and fairly typical of 1950s music, in that there is an strong orchestra opening -- dramatically powering the listener into the mood of the song -- for a few seconds. And suddenly the group's harmony comes blasting in, joining the orchestra, and musically informing listeners that this is a slow dance
