Excercise #4
Part 1 Lyric:
After first hearing this song i immediately downloaded it. Right from the start the atmosphere of the song is upbeat with the “Fascination” lyrics being said throughout the song.
“Easy, living,
killed the young dudes,
in the high boots.
Teenage,
in the pace age,
that’s when love burns,
now it’s your turn.
Fascination
Fascination
It’s just the way we feel.”
This is how the beginning of the song starts out and it sets the tone right from the beginning. The song makes me think that we should live our lives in “Fascination”, we shouldn’t have to make our lives hard and that it should be easy and fun kind of like being a teenager again.
The song can be enterpreted as two people finding love for the first time and just living their lives and enjoying themselves and the passion that they have for one another. The song also sets a timeline of the two people meeting each other or being in love with each other in the summer or spring time.
Also, the instruments and “upbeatness” of the song hits the heart. If ever in a bad mode, I can just listen this song and it can cheer me up. The beat created by the drums and the jingles heard throughout the song created for a hightened sense of emotion and “passion” that two people who like each other could experience.
Part 2 Being Singular:
For me I would say that as a person I usually tend to not open myself up or express myself when I’m in a new environment or when I’m first meeting people. Looking back on all my actions and everything and the way that I act in new settings I usually tend to observe and sit back and watch everything and get to know the general feeling or I would say that I would try to put classmates/people in certain categories or generalize them in a way and see who I think is “cool” or “uncool” and who I would get along with or not. Then, after this phase I open up and share more stuff about me and my personality comes out more. That is one thing that I noticed about myself.
I can also say that I can be stubborn when pushed or when I want to be. Like if I have something to prove or if I want to prove something I’ll put myself in the open and do something if everyone else is afraid to. Or if someone doesn’t speak up for someone else or for something then I’ll chime in at times. Also when I really want something, I am usually vocal about it and very assertive and persistant about it. I try to get the job done and done quick.
Also, I have a very caring personality and I would say that for the most part I give people second chances however I can “forgive but not forget”. I also try to see the good in people or like a different side to them when others can’t. I would also say that I am for the most part very approachable and layed back and one person doesn’t have to act a certain way around me because I really could care less about how “weird” someone acts or if they do things other people think is odd because I just like to know people and see them for who they are. I am also a person that you can talk to about anything whether it be religion, sex, politics etc. like I’m very opened about that and even if it’s something that I personally do not agree with, I won’t shut someone down and try and overpower the conversation.
