Music Quote (#4)

If we have problems, most of us listen to music. We listen to slow music because the lyrics can relate to what we are feeling.

Music Quote (#3)

I agree with this quote because music can change people. The lyrics make people understand the true meaning of life. If it can change people, it can also change the world.

Music Quote (#2)

Music makes us stronger. If we have problems, music tells us that there is still hope. All problems have solutions.

Music Quote (#1)

We cannot stop others from lying. In this world, there are people who are honest (speak the truth) and people who lie (noise).

Music Video

A music video or song video is a short film integrating a song and imagery, produced for promotional or artistic purposes. Modern music videos are primarily made and used as a marketing device intended to promote the sale of music recordings. Prior to the 1980s, these works were described by various terms including "illustrated song", "filmed insert", "promotional (promo) film", "promotional clip", "promotional video", "song video", "song clip" or "film clip".

Music videos use a wide range of styles of contemporary video making techniques, including animation, live action filming, documentaries, and non-narrative approaches such as abstract film. Some music videos blend different styles, such as animation, music, and live action. Many music videos interpret images and scenes from the song's lyrics, while others take a more thematic approach. Other music videos may be without a set concept, being merely a filmed version of the song's live performance.

Music is Life

Music is a huge factor in our lives. Music allows us to make sense of things. It enables us to express ourselves through the emotions that we are feeling. Through music, we are able to observe the world in a different light, which can be either negative or positive, depending on our mood. 

I especially like songs that have meaningful lyrics—lyrics that make you ponder over what kind of person you want to be, what kind of role or purpose you have in this world, or what kind of an effect you have on others around you. Music like that is, in my opinion, the best kind of music to listen to. 

We have heard people say that they cannot live without music.

Rude by Magic

"Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life? Say yes, say yes, 'cause I need to know. You said I'll never get your blessing 'til the day I die, tough luck my friend but the answer is 'no'."

The guy seems to be whining because the woman of his dream's father couldn't give them his blessing. He is asking his girlfriend's father for a blessing to marry his daughter. The father says no and he even asks again, hoping the father would say yes. But, he says no once again. He says, "I'm gonna marry that girl, marry her anyway" which means that he doesn't care what the father says, he is still going to marry her because his love for his girlfriend is so strong.

"Why you gotta be so rude? Don't you know I'm human, too?

He is trying to say that he is also a human and that he has feelings.

Music Journalism

Music Journalism is media criticism and reporting about music topics. It began in the eighteenth century as commentary on what is now thought of as classical music. Today a more prominent branch of music journalism is an aspect of entertainment journalism, covering popular music and including profiles of singers, bands, and album reviews.

Music journalism has its roots in classical music criticism, which has traditionally comprised the study, discussion, evaluation, and interpretation of music and its performance.

Music

Music is everything.

Life and Music

Life is a song. Love is the lyrics.

Others say that if there is no music, there would be no life. If there are no lyrics, there are no songs. Everywhere we go, there is always music.

Music is Life

This picture states that music is life. Most of the lyrics of the songs are related to our lives. If we cannot express our feelings, music speaks. 

Philippine Folk Music

The traditional music of the Philippines, like the folk music of other countries, reflects the life of common, mostly rural Filipino. Like its counterparts in Asia, a lot of traditional songs from the Philippines have a strong connection with nature. However, much of it employs the diatonic scale rather than the more "Asian" pentatonic scale.
Traditional Philippine music is reflective of the country's history as a melting pot of different cultures. Among the dominant cultural strains noticeable today are Hispano-Mexican, American and to some extent Chinese, Indian and Islamic. It is thus difficult to strictly classify the whole corpus of Philippine music as either Western or Eastern.
A frequently used system is to classify it according to ethno-linguistic or cultural divisions: for example, traditional Tagalog music, which is somewhat more Hispanic in flavour, differs from Ifugao music & Maranao kulintang music.

Problem by Ariana Grande

"Hey baby even though I hate ya, I wanna love ya, I want you."
For me, she is saying that she likes this person, but the guy is causing a lot of problems for her. It would be easier if she didn't like him. She is saying that without him in her life, she would have one less problem (he is the problem). 

"I got 99 problems but you wont be one". 

This song is about loving someone even though you know they are not good for you. It's like a love/hate relationship. She hates him, but she wants to love him and then later she realizes she has one less problem without him.

Break Free by Ariana Grande

"Break Free" is a song by American recording artist Ariana Grande featuring German musician and producer Zedd.

It premiered on July 2, 2014 on Total Ariana Live, MTV's revival of Total Request Live and was released later that day. Musically, the song explores EDM and electropop genres, a musical departure for Grande, whose previous music had been mainly pop and R&B. The song has peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Grande's fourth top ten and third top five hit in the US. As of September 2014, the song has sold over 1,000,000 copies in the US making it Grande's fourth single to do so.

My Journalism Class

(Topic not related)

My Journalism class is fun and interesting. I learned many things about Journalism. For our performance task, we were asked to role play about the dangers of being a journalist. My role was a terrorist. Sometimes, in our Journalism class, our teacher lets us watch some documentary or something relating to Journalism. Once, we watched about Queen Elizabeth I. We learned so many things.

"Banning of Field Trips"

(Topic is not related)

Banning of field trips is a good idea because it is for our safety. But it is also not a good idea because field trips give students the opportunity to explore different places. When going to a field trip, we should research about the place you are going to visit to know if it is safe or not. Also, to know what to wear in order to be safe and prevent from slipping, sliding, and many more. You should also ask permission from your parents if you are allowed to go to the field trip. There should be a teacher or a chaperone to guide the students when going to a field trip. All of us should be careful and always pray to God.
