The first song I listened to was Sing for the Moment by Eminem. The characters are Eminem and the world basically. He talks about how the world is against him and his fame for his music. The theme to me, is that we have free agency and we have our right to that. He talks about everyone hating rap but he loves it, and he is hated by everyone for that. the setting is all over, the court room, his home, the stage, the streets, all over. The conflict is the young generation liking rap compared to the old generation hating it because they believe it is bad and brings no good.
The second song I listened to was All summer long by Kid rock. Its about him talking back in the day when he would just chill. It takes place on lake Michgian and partying "All summer long". The theme is live life like there is no tomorrow because all the song talks about is smoking, drinking, chilling on the lake and girls. Can there be a better theme than that? haha The characters are him and his friends. The conflict would be living in the moment vs. worrying about tomorrow. Well those are the 2 songs I listened too! tight!
I love Eminem. Wouldn't it be so weird if he did care about what people think about him and his music? He wouldn't be famous and I wouldn't like him. Like this song. What if it talked about doing things for other people and not being himself? I like it the way it is.
ReplyDeleteI worship that song by Kid Rock. It's so relaxed and chill and makes me happy. What if that was really how we could live life? It sucks that its pretty hard to actually live that way. What if that was what the song was about? Worrying about tomorrow? Same thing, I like it just the way it is.
sing for the moment is one of my favorite Eminem songs. I agree that the conflict is the older generation hating rap, they should remember that their parents and grandparents hated their music too. Stupid old people.
