Playlist Round 2!

"Emotions"-Destiny's Child
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWKdMmH0B-E
I know, it's old school but I love! And you have to go old school to convey the emotions you feel. Even though this song talks about a cheating boyfriend, I feel that the soulful attitude of the song expresses the way I feel. I hate English and writing papers. I feel that the sorrowful mood of the song shows my feelings and epic disappointment towards English class.

"Where are you Chrismas?"-Faith Hill
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmGSHZYZ74c
You've heard of Chrismas in July, but what's wrong with Chrismas in April? The joy of Chrismas should be with us year round and not just one month out of the year. Well this joy you feel around the holidays should guide you through life. This class is slowly draining me of the joy. I was looking forward to this class and even the daunting research paper. However, with each new assignment leads me to question my desire and love for this topic/assignment. I just need a little motivation, a light at the end of the tunnel because I've have way through the tunnel and there is no light to be seen. I'm being guided by shadows and fear that the light, if there is light, at the end of the tunnel will be blinding and everything I thought was real, ended up being a lie. (Plato's Allegory of the Cave). So as we grow up lets not lose the joy of children at Chrismas but gain a new respect and understanding of the day.

"Not Afraid" -Eminem
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5-yKhDd64s
I'm not afraid is an anthem for our generation. We not longer fear the same fears as our parents and previous generations, but we have found our own. However, unlike dividing like previous generations, we bond together and face the scary unknown together. With my friends and fellow class mates I and more importantly WE will strive and achieve greatness. Greatness for this class is passing and not leaving behind our sanity. I freak out until I get post on my blogs from fellow writers staring the same pains I express. But with Katie and Sidney as my rocks, I know this quarter will be great and my fears even though they don't disappear they are lessened. This song also talks about taking a stand against the mainstream, I feel that my topic of Capital Punishment is doing the same.

"The Green Mile" -Movie
The Green Mile is about a man on death row. The guards believe the death penalty is a just punishment and are happy to do their jobs in providing justice.

"Back of my hand"-Down with Webster
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtfIu4d-TY8
This song talks about knowing someone like the back of their hand and then just out of the blue changing. I felt like I knew my topic and the direction in which I wanted to move towards but now I don't know. I'm confused and stressed and this class/assignment has turned out to be something I no longer understand.

Love,
Music speaks when you can't!
