| Hank Green – Helen Hunt Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
In juxtaposing the struggles of teenagehood and the beauty of actress Hunt, the song Helen Hunt by Hank Green evokes powerful emotions of longing and passion. Through the anaphora of the name "Helen Hunt," the powerful nature of the song is highlighted and emphasized with the rhyming scheme. The metaphor of the narrator's heart doing "acrobatic stunts" (5:2 Green) emphasizes this. The sixth stanza departs in line 3 departs from the narrator's first person perspective to an alternate persona "Edward and Edwina Spoonhand" (6:4 Green). By departing from the narrator's perspective, the narrator's personal feelings are juxtaposed with the wider lens of perspective. This combination of viewpoints lets the listener truly understand the depth of the narrator's love for Helen Hunt. "Helen Hunt" by Hank Green evokes powerful emotion and feeling as it juxtaposes repeated anaphora and rhyming as well as the juxtaposition of narrative viewpoints to create a piece of art unlike any other. Truly, this piece of music is as revolutionary as it is a masterful analysis of passion and longing. |
