| Kid Cudi – The Adventures Of Moon Man & Slim Shady Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
What the song means to me and my opinion You all think you know me but I am not the same kid I used to be. There will always be people that do not want me to progress in life, I have to identify them as quickly as possible and move on, not letting them hold you back. If I want achieve something, I have to take steps (Baby steps), I have to do the work and not just the talk. I have dreams and I have to achieve them. If I find something I am good at, I should try and be better in it, be the best if possible. I will give this song a rating of 7/10 Factual Research This song was released July 10th 2020, prior to this Cudi released “Man on the Moon” September 15th 2009 and Eminem released Slim Shady February 23rd 1999 which I believe this song is a sequel to those ones. This is the first time the two rappers will rap together but they worked together in 2010 where Eminem produced two songs for Cudi; “Lil B” and “I Hear Them Calling Me” What the artist means Kid Cudi talks about life; he got into rehab years ago but it helped him, made him figure out a new plan for his life though it was a bad experience. He talks about life as a cool person themed around being a fly person (moon concept). He talks about his rap prowess as compared to basketballer Dwayne Wayde, talks about his collaborations. He is happy with feeling high and having sex. Eminem brags about his rap prowess compares himself to God. He disses a football player for being petty to justice, supporting Trumps’ inhumane because of the flag hail. Compares himself also to Michael Jordan as one of the greatest. He talks about haters and dealing with them. He is not happy with how the masses act with regards response to Covid-19 and how he can die just from shopping. He also talks about police brutality-see what they did to George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery. |

| Juice WRLD – Come & Go Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
What the song means to me and my opinion In this life, no one is perfect. No matter how hard one tries, he/she might not always get it right. But one has to keep his/her head high, never back down. Everything that happens, God has a plan; all the heartbreaks even the ones I caused myself are all in that plan. But when the one that makes me think better and act better of myself comes, I will try not to make the same mistakes again, I will try to be open-minded, I will learn to give my all and my love. I will give this song a rating of 9/10 Factual Research This song was released July 9th 2020 though a previous version leaked August 18th 2019. Marshmello produced the song and this is not the first time these artists have had a collaboration before. This song is the fourth promotional single from the upcoming studio album “Legends Never Die” to be released July 10th 2020. What the artist means Juice wanted to be a better man, he tried so hard to do just about anything but nothing worked for him. He felt alone but then came that special one-he thanked God for making her part of the plan. He felt anything he touched, he destroyed. He did not want to lose this one as well. She turned his life around, made his life blissful, made him a better man. His mind played games with him, took control of his actions, and things started crumbling before his very eyes. But he still wanted that one to work, that type of love does not come easily. |

| Juice WRLD – Life's a Mess Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
What the song means to me and my opinion Everyone has that special someone out in the world just meant for them. When I meet her, I would know at that moment that she is the one. I would leave behind everything that has occurred prior to meeting her. It might be difficult at first but I have to keep pushing, I have to make it work because I will be heartbroken and feel lost in this world if I let her go. I will definitely take it easy on her and make her see me for who I really am. I will give this song a rating of 8/10. Factual Research This song was released July 6th 2020. Rex Kudo who was Juice’s producer was one of those who found real love and Juice appreciates him for all he does. This song talks about close friends who are always there for us when everything seems to have gone bad. For Halsey, Juice was an amazing friend. What the artist means Juice wants to know if one has been so in love with someone-not just anyone, but that special one. The one that you promise the whole wide world and everything in it. He said “when love is real, you will know deep in your soul”, you will feel it. He was with someone but not the right one, he wants her to move on because they were not meant to be and the right person for him was somewhere out there. He gets high when he is upset, he finally found who he was looking for but it did not work out. This life is not fair. But through tough times, he came out stronger and then things became much better. |

| Jason Derulo – Savage Love Lyrics | 5 years ago |
| Jason Derulo - Savage Love is such a light, fun, and upbeat song. It sets a nice vibe that makes you want to dance. The music video is also very intriguing to me because it's a one man show, which is such a nice change from the usual of having tons of girls half naked. I really enjoy the melody to this song, and his smooth dance moves in the music video. When it come to the lyrics I don't like the meaning behind them. It really is talking about toxic relationship where one person is a rebound and Derulo is expressing how he enjoys it. The dating scene out there is already a mess and this type of music is not reinforcing unhealthy relationships. The lyrics "you could use me" is the perfect example of how it's toxic. Overall I really enjoy listening to his voice and the beat of the song. The meaning behind the lyrics are not my favorite. However I usually listen to songs for their melody and energy they give off, and don't prioritize the lyrics. It's definitely a fun song and makes me want to get up and dance! | |
| Justin Bieber – At Least for Now Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
Years ago, I was one of those guys who hated Justin Bieber simply because girls loved him, and because he didn't conform to traditional masculinity. To be fair, “Baby” wasn’t exactly a work of musical genius, but my disdain for Bieber was, admittedly, about more than just his music. I reckon the same was true for countless other boys and men, as well. However, lately, I’ve learned to appreciate his recent work, such as “At Least for Now,” which he released in April. “At Least for Now” strikes a great balance between chill and mature. The music behind the lyrics is soft and relaxing. It’s a perfect background track for a lazy day at home in your vaguely rundown suburban apartment. Many of the lyrics enhance the music’s lowkey and subdued energy, as Bieber sings about a normal day at home with his partner. She loosens his tie for him when he gets home, and they spend the rest of the day together. They smoke, sip alcohol, and dance as they “[try] to avoid disappointment.” And isn’t that what the nicest days of our lives are like? Just hanging out with the person we love? Whether you answer yes or no, that’s the kind of day that Bieber describes here, and he certainly seems to like it. But the song isn’t only about being a couch potato at home. It’s easy to get distracted by its chill vibes, but the lyrics convey something deeper. “At Least for Now” is about enjoying the good times while they last. Behind Bieber’s dancing and drinking, there’s a feeling that those good times he’s enjoying are going to end. But he’s not afraid, nor is he in despair. Right now, life is going well for him, and he’s not questioning it. And he’s not trying to cling desperately to the current moment, either. He tells his partner that the “Camera's on the couch, ain't nobody taking pictures.” They’re too busy living and loving each other to worry about capturing the moment in a photograph. “At least for now,” they’re together and happy. No matter whether or not something bad happens tomorrow, they have this moment. And that’s enough. |

| Halsey – Alanis’ Interlude Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
Singers Halsey and Alanis Morissette have teamed up to deliver a heartfelt ode to the hardships of love with Alanis’ Interlude. The song is a cry out to a world where it remains a struggle to be a member of the LGBT+ community. The lyrics portray the feelings of a girl who loves both men and women alike, and struggles to keep her relationship with a female lover hidden from the world. Halsey sings that although thoughts of “beautiful loves and beautiful thighs” keep her up at night, she lives “...for loving in the light”. This inner turmoil of craving love but dreading having to keep your lover a secret is a sad reality faced by many people in same-sex relationships. When I hear the lyrics of Alanis’ Interlude I can feel the conflict of emotions in Halsey and Alanis’ voices- a portrayal of a deep and aching pain that sits at the core of the LGBT+ community. While the song has echoes of sadness and longing, it also has a melody of hope. The world is changing, and every year more people are “tired of all these labels”. It shouldn’t matter who you love. Whether you love men, women, both, or neither- you shouldn’t have to keep your feelings a secret and hide them from the world. When artists release songs like Alanis’ Interlude or come out as a fellow member of the LGBT+ community, it gives me great hope. I feel that the world really is changing for the better and that someday songs like this will just be a reminder. They will be something that we can look back on and appreciate how far we have come, when we finally live in a time where people are free to follow their hearts without fear. |

| Halsey – You Should Be Sad Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
This song is a very relatable piece. It speaks to the urge that so many people feel in failed romantic relationships to finally get off your chest all the stuff that your former partner needs to hear. At least, in the moment we think that the partner is unaware of these flaws in their character when really, they might be fully aware. The awareness thereof and the moment when we tell them could be just enough to push them into changing. Maybe you and I need that moment from someone even if we don’t fill our voids with “money, drugs and cars.” It’s important to note the stage that this relationship made it to. Our artist is happy to have “never ever had a baby with you”. That’s not something that people take lightly when it’s planned of course. Nobody can ignore the gravity of the moment when you realize that you will be having a baby, regardless of the circumstances, but I digress. Our artist was at least close enough to this romantic other that she felt that having a baby was perhaps up for discussion at some point. So, this relationship was a mirage of real love. You will only ever consider having a baby with a partner that you truly love. It’s too great a commitment to make if the person at your side isn’t incredibly special to you. This line about the baby that they never had is a relief that the baby was never had but also demonstrates that this failed love was a tragedy of expectations. Our artist discovered that her romantic other was not who he appeared to be. She states this in the line “I had no warning about who you are, I’m just glad I made it out without breaking down”. She suffered some form of unwanted physical contact with this man as indicated in the line “then ran so fucking far, that you would never ever touch me again”. There were undoubtedly several instances of this heartbreak as our artist has come to recognize the “alligator tears” of her romantic other. We can infer that they have had these horrible conflicts more than once. In the aftermath, he lures her back in by pretending to be sincere. This very same plot has played out countless times for troubled lovers. This song becomes the anthem for those who can get away. |

| Pearl Jam – Dance of the Clairvoyants Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
Anticipating new material from an artiste is probably the most painstaking process fans go through with their Favorite. I think it’s the same for the artiste too. They want to be better. Sothey experiment, ideate and keep everyone expectant. That is exactly what Pearl Jam has done. First, they take their time in creating “Gigaton” – almost seven solid years. Then they set out by rolling out songs bit by bit. Even though it felt as if they were dragging for so long (totally worth it). On the 13th of January when Pearl Jam announced the release of their new album for March 2020, all expectations shot up. Delivering the lead single “Dance of the Clairvoyants” is a bold and smart move. The lyrics are just mystic. Its mystic is relatable and imaginable. The beat is fresh and different, not the usual rock rhythm. I suspect basic electronic undertones. On Twitter, Jeff Ament describes the single as a "perfect storm of experimentation and real collaboration". In fact, I think the album will be a new and thrilling experience for fans as much as it was for the artistes. For a 'Rock and Roll' Hall of Famer, Pearl Jam continues to live up to the expectation they have singlehandedly created. Since it's release on the 21st of January; 'Dance of the Clairvoyants' has received massive positive reactions. I believe that in addition to great market value, the song has come to stay. |

| Eminem – Darkness Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
Eminem's new song, “Darkness” has no shortage of emotion and depth. Like many of his songs, the background sounds and lyrics combined create more than just a song, but rather a story that is being told. The lyrics tell the story of the 2017 Las Vegas shooting from the perspective of the shooter. The harrowing music builds tension as the rapper recites the internal dialogue of the shooter leading up to the incident. One of the most interesting parts of the song in my opinion is the familiar tribute to Simon and Garfunkel’s song , “Hello Darkness My Old Friend.” I think the familiar tune and famous lyrics really add a layer of familiarity to the song, which I think eludes to the familiarity many people have with the internal struggles with “darkness” that the artist is portraying the song. The song starts by repeating the line “I don't want to be alone in the darkness” which is a window into mental health struggles because most people do in fact feel alone in their own personal darkness. Followed by the “hello darkness my old friend” line, this paints the picture that although he feels alone, the darkness seems to be the only “friend” or constant companion in the shooters life. My personal opinion of the song is that it is a very disturbing look at what is behind the devastating mass shootings we see all too often in our world today. In typical Eminem fashion, the song is bold and brash and brutally honest. He writes and produces lyrics that most people are not willing to say. I think the sound effects of guns and screaming and news reports in the background bring a harsh and numbing sense of reality to the song. I think that this song is devastating and disturbing but it paints a brutal and real picture of the mind of a modern day murderer. |

| Justin Bieber – Yummy Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
It was a bold choice on Justin’s part to drop a summer anthem in the winter. He’s received some flack for that, and for the song itself, which is understandable. This is his first solo single since 2015, and it has received mixed reviews from his fans. A lot of people on Twitter weren’t happy with the song, saying it wasn’t the right vibe or that he seemed too desperate for people to listen and buy it. The lyrics can get a little repetitive and seem braggy, but a lot of successful pop music has the exact same ingredients. Justin’s promo choices may be what hurt the song’s reputation in the end, because he pushed it so heavily on social media. Although I understand some of the criticism for Yummy, I think overall it’s a solid song with a good beat and a melody that gets stuck in your head. One thing that can’t be denied about Yummy; it’s a classic example of a catchy, bubblegum pop song by an artist who’s an expert in the industry. And it’s definitely on my playlist. |

| Childish Gambino – This Is America Lyrics | 7 years ago |
| I really like how the music goes from the typical innocent hip hop song, to a sudden dark tone. It is all around a great song, not just for the lyrics and meaning, but it's a very catchy song and has a pretty nice beat. This is definitely some of Childish Gambino's most creative work. | |
| Kendrick Lamar – Humble Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
As someone who is not generally into rap or hip hop, I usually just ignore these genres all together. To be honest, you could even say I shunned this type of music like a child rejecting a horrid vegetable. However, I was never the less intrigued by the attention and/or hype Kendrick Lamar’s new album was receiving. Full disclosure, I did not really know ANYTHING about the man other than his name and would probably be hard-pressed to successfully pick him out in a crowd; but as it is with many hyped figures, big movies, looped songs, popular programs and numerous other pop culture “phenomenon’s,” it is hard to ignore something when it is seemingly everywhere. In the past I have enjoyed artists such as Eminem, DMX and Ja Rule, who occupy the same space as Lamar and I have been a big fan in the past of rap-rock artists like Papa Roach, Gorillaz and especially 311 – the latter being my favorite band for many years. So given that I am kind of halfway there and also consider myself open-minded, I decided to see what all the fuss was about. Someone whose opinion I trust recommended that I start by listening to “Humble” and see how I like it. So, I did just that. I must say that on the first listen I was kind of nervous, as I am with most songs I am hearing for the first time. But within a minute I was starting to enjoy the “hook” of the song. For me, a song MUST have a catchy beat or else I can’t get into it. You can write the deepest, culturally-significant lyrics on earth, but if the song is not catchy it will not hold my attention. I HAVE to get that beat into my brain. Otherwise it is a deal-breaker for me. So happily, I found that HUMBLE got into my head. I found myself on the second and third listen, singing along to the “lil bitch be humble…be humble” lines. I also liked the way the song unfolded, with the references to syrup sandwiches, playing Tetris and the authenticity of Richard Pryor. Lamar’s lyrics are clever and present great visualization of his keen worldview. He projects an image of a man who is fed up with the nonsense, who knows exactly what he wants and is not afraid to speak his mind. With HUMBLE, Lamar looks at the world through a pained eye and illustrates a desire for a collective, honest humility and a yearning for a society that can get its values in order. He exudes self-confidence and truly understands WHO HE IS and is not afraid to call out those around him that he thinks are fake, dishonest and not as “real” as he is. Sure, these lyrics can come across as arrogant to some – the words of a guy who is full of himself possibly, and maybe there is truth to that. But I see Lamar more as a street preacher who instead of touting Biblical verses, spouts harsh declarations of truth to [and about his] community. And to do that, your kind of have to be a little full of yourself. Luckily for Lamar, there are countless others out there that come across a lot worse than he does. And unlike many performers in today’s music industry, Lamar has the ability to back up his mouth with true talent. There are not many people that can earnestly say the same. I have heard that this album has two completely different meanings when the songs are played backwards. That is NOT an easy feat to accomplish! I am looking forward to exploring the rest of Lamar’s work from here. |
