"In response to the Taylor Swift article we read and discussed about in class, what is one song that means something to you? Is it by your favorite artist? Analyze the lyrics (if there are any). When listening to the song, what images come to mind? Why?"
A song that has a lot of meaning to me is the song I'm Alive by Kenny Chesney and Dave Mathews.
Heres the lyrics:
So damn easy to say that life's so hard
Everybody's got their share of battle scars
As for me I'd like to thank my lucky stars that
I'm alive and well
It'd be easy to add up all the pain
And all the dreams you've sat and watch go up in flames
Dwell on the wreckage as it smolders in the rain
But not me... I'm alive
And today you know that's good enough for me
Breathing in and out's a blessing can't you see
Today's the first day of the rest of my life
And I'm alive and well
I'm alive and well
Stars are dancin' on the water here tonight
It's good for the soul when there's not a soul in sight
This motor's caught its wind and brought me back to life
Now I'm alive and well
And today you know that's good enough for me
Breathing in and out's a blessing can't you see
Today's the first day of the rest of my life
Now I'm alive and well
Yeah I'm alive and well
Kenny Chesney is not one of my favorite artist but I do really like this particular song. When I listen to the song it really relaxes me and makes me appreciate what I have in life and not what I don't. I sorta imagine myself out by a lake at night just relaxing.

I love how positive this song is, even with its solemn tune. It makes me feel really relaxed as well, it also makes me feel appreciative. I love this song too, good choice!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I have heard this particular song but I love Dave Mathews. I always listen to him when I am doing my homework because it is really relaxing like you said. And you can't beat a song that makes you feel like you are sitting next to a lake just relaxing.
ReplyDeleteYea agree with you guys, this is a good song. But I disagree with Blake on this one, songs with words make it hard for me to do homework, or at least homework that makes me use words, math homework dosn't count.
