(Authors note: this is a short response to two songs, it’s a rough copy and I wrote this as a journal in the first few minutes of class)
All songs have meaning. Some songs are insightful and mysteries, others dark and gloomy. Emotions make up the music industry, just like art if there is no emotion there is no point to it.
For example “Big Yellow Taxi” and “Field Below” are both well known songs. Along with most songs the lyrics alone sound like a poem, although the poem definitely doesn’t sound like the song. “Big Yellow Taxi’s lyric’s definitely weren’t happy and same with the song. But when you move to Field Below, the lyric’s are depressing but the song isn’t, the song is strong, upbeat and energetic.
As you can see, the lyrics of the song don’t always describe how you feel, that’s why some people see meanings of songs differently. It’s a miracle how songs can have hundreds of thousands of meanings twisted and burrowed inside of them.
