Top Favorite Song
Annotations:
1. Ryan Shupe and The
Rubberband. (2005).“Dream Big”. Dream
Big. This song conveys a positive message of never giving up on your
dreams, no matter how big or impossible.
The lyrics apply to anyone who has a dream that wants to be reached and
to whoever is letting someone tell them that the dream is impossible. The lyrics “And when you dream, dream big” tell the listener that
whenever you dream, make sure that it’s as big as it can be and that you don’t
give up on it. I like this song because
I first heard it while at a summer conference for student council and I
immediately thought it was a good song simply because of its message. I listen
to this song all the time and I still get happy because I know that when I have
a dream or a goal, I need to make sure it’s the best I can make it.
2. Jepsen, Carly Rae. (2012). “Call Me Maybe”. Call Me Maybe. This song is just another ordinary pop
song about a romance. It has a catchy
beat, which is why most people enjoy listening to it time after time. Other people find it annoying, but I like it
mainly because of the lyrics and tune to the song. It has somewhat of a special meaning to me
because it was the last song that was playing as everyone left the dance on the
last night of a three day student council conference, which was my last
one. I listen to it a lot, again mostly
for the tune and the fun lyrics. My favorite
lyric is “Hey I just met you, and this is crazy, but here’s my number, so call
me maybe?” The song just shows the story
of a teenage girl trying to the attention of a boy she likes. Most girls can relate to this song and its
lyrics because of the message.
3. Aldean, Jason. (2010). “See You When I See You”. My Kinda Party. The whole song is
focused on someone not wanting to say goodbye to someone that they care
about. Jason Aldean says in his song “Someday
I’ll see you when I see you, another place, some other time.” The lyrics are saying that they aren’t saying
goodbye, they’re just separating for now until they see each other again. This song has an important message and
whenever I listen to it I think of my family and people who I’m close to who I haven’t
seen in a while. I can replay this song
over and over again and never get tired of it because of the music and the
lyrics; I can relate to this song in different ways and that’s why I like it so
much.
4. Fun. (2011). “We Are Young” We Are Young. Any teenager who listens to this song at least once
can relate to the message. The song is
just about being young and having fun while you still can. One of the lines, “Tonight we are young, so
let’s set the world on fire” just shows that you’re only young once, so take
advantage of it. This song as well has a
special meaning to me because it was played in the highlight video of a three
day student council conference and whenever I listen to it, I think of the
video. I like this song a lot because of
the message mostly, and because of the meaning it holds.
5. Bryan, Luke. (2011). “Country Girl (Shake It for Me)” Country Girl (Shake It for Me). The first
time I heard this song was my second night at a student council conference last
summer. The song really doesn’t have a
specific meaning, but it’s a good song to listen to during the summer or
whenever you need a mood boost. The music
in this song is well done and makes the song catchy and fun to listen to. The song has a special meaning to me and that’s
one of the main reasons as to why I like it.
I’m not very familiar with the artist, but this song is done well by
him.
6. Marley, Bob. (1984). “Three Little Birds” Legend( Remastered). The whole song is
nothing but positive and that’s one of the main reasons of why I like it so
much. “Don’t worry about a thing, cause
every little thing is gonna be alright” is my favorite lyric and shows a really
positive message of nothing is going to be bad, everything is going to turn out
to be fine. I listen to this song
whenever I am upset and it instantly puts me into a good mood. Nothing about this song is negative and it
helps people get through hard times because that’s what Bob Marley’s songs are known
to do, especially this one. There are so
many Bob Marley songs, but this one is my favorite because of the music as well
as the message.
7. Shelton, Blake. (2011). “God Gave Me You”. Red River Blue (Deluxe Version). “God
Gave Me You” is the second song I know by Blake Shelton. It is a slow song, but it’s very calming and
relatable to many people. “God gave me
you for the ups and downs” is an important and meaningful lyric because it
makes me think of all of the people in my life who have been there through the
good and the bad times. The artist is
basically saying that God gave everyone someone or a group of people for a
reason and for them to be there for good and bad. The music matches the speed of the lyrics and
that’s important because it gives the listener time to think of the important
people in their life.
8. Chesney, Kenny. (2010). “Live a Little”. Hemingway’s Whiskey. This song is a good
song to live by simply because of the message.
I am not a huge country fan, but this song isn’t really too much country
for me and it’s a good song to listen to.
An important lyric is “Live a little, have some fun, take some time,
waste it on number one” because the message is to not worry about other things
for a little bit and focus on you instead.
I listen to this song a lot and I always get the same message out of it
whenever I listen to it. Everyone can
get the same message as well because everyone knows that they need to focus on
themselves once in a while.
9. One Direction. (2012). “What Makes You Beautiful”. Up All Night. One Direction is a new
artist and this is the only song that I know by them. It has a catchy tune and the lyrics display a
boy expressing his affection for a girl, telling her that she is
beautiful. The girl in the song is
insecure about her appearance and the singer is telling her all the time that
she is pretty, no matter what she does. This song proves that chivalry is not
dead and that men still appreciate girls for who they are. I think that most girls like this song
because of the lyrics as well as the message.
10. Lee, Amos. (2006). “Sweet Pea”. Supply and Demand. Amos Lee is a new artist to me and I know this
song from an AT&T commercial. I don’t
really see a specific meaning to it; it just seems like a romantic song. The lyrics “Sweet Pea, apple of my eye, don’t
know when and I don’t know why, but you’re the only reason I keep on coming
home” shows that the person in the song has feelings for someone else or else
they wouldn’t keep coming home. The music
and lyrics are well done also. I think
that this is a good song and should be played on the radio so more people can
listen to it.
