Lyrics

Where did the word come from?
What does it mean?
How important are lyrics to artists? Why?

 

Lyrics represent the artists emotions throughout their song. It's important that the artist shares important events or personal experiences throughout his/her music. The lyrics also describe someone's legacy throughout their music career. It's the lyrics that make someone want to buy the song or purchase a CD, not the background beat. Usually, people link songs with the words inside the music because words are much easier to remember than the guitar solo. However, they're are songs out there today without any lyrics at all and yet their still big hits (classical music or fast moving techno music). A song can still be worth listening to whether it has lyrics or not.

Alone

 Definition: Adj., separate, apart, isolated from others

How does it feel to be alone?
What's running through someone's mind when their lonesome?
What should you do to be included?

When someone becomes lonesome and depressed that's the time when he/she needs to clear a path for themselves; starting a new beginning can be a healthy step psychologically. Immediately set a goal for yourself! Just think the sky is the limit and you can do anything you put your mind too! Your friends and family are by your side rooting you on every step of the way!

Together

What makes people come together? Why?
Why don't people sit next to one another while waiting in a room?
Why are people so distant from others?
Can different cultures work together? If not, why?

People around the world come together to achieve ONE common purpose, whether it's religious reasons, class differences or society problems. However, in today's society, people look at one another and all they see is what's different amongst them. Martin Luther King became one of the most famous African Americans throughout history because he strongly believed in equal rights for both whites and blacks. But much of the human race still discriminates against others by the color of their skin; you shouldn't judge a book by its cover! Praise MLK!

Afraid

Why do people feel afraid?
What goes through someone's mind when they're scared?
What makes someone feel afraid?
Are they anxious at the sametime?



    As your heart beats out of your chest and your breathing quickens, people begin to wonder the answer to these reactions; this reaction is known as the "fight or flight" response. Your heart beats faster each minute in order to pump more blood to the body (brain and muscles). Your pupils largen to see better allowing you to focus on the important situation at hand. The lungs in your body are also intaking a larger amount of oxygen to your body. Your urinary system and digestive track slow down for the time being allowing you to concentrate on what's going on. (http://kidshealth.org/kid/feeling/emotion/afraid.html)

Many teens across the nation and the world are afraid of venturing out beyond their comfort zone. Psychologolist Doctor, Holly Counts, listens in onto a client:

Q: For as long as I can remember I have been afraid of people like their watching me and laughing and judging my every move. I stutter when I’m nervous. I over think everything I do making things worse. I feel safe in my room where I spend most of my time. A few weeks ago I notice it been 5 yrs since high school and I’m still at same spot in my life I was then. I don’t have many friends. I don’t drive. I rely on my family for transportation for work. I don’t know what to do. I feel I‘m in prison and a burden to my family. I’ve tried going out but I always stop at the door. What should I do?

A: I cannot diagnose you without a face to face evaluation but it sounds like you could be suffering from an anxiety disorder such as social phobia or agoraphobia. You may want to research these so you can understand more about the problems you are having. I also often recommend a book called The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook for a self-help approach. I would strongly suggest you find a good therapist to work with so you can start living your life in the manner you want to. You may also benefit from medication, especially in the beginning as you start to address your fears. These conditions can be crippling but they are very treatable. With some professional help and determination on your part, I am confident that you will be able to leave the safety of your home and start embracing all that life has to offer. Good luck.
