\n1.There is a stadium in New Orleans that serves as home for many poor and affected people like me.
\n
\n2. My daddy said this would be all over when the clouds left. But with the descent of the angels, the clouds are not going to leave.
\n
\n3. The help is near, but I know that even if I scream no one is going to hear me
\n4. This internal pain is tampered by the suffocating woe, the hope will not be renewed until the tempest stops, and when we are responsible for this, what is left to do?
\n
\n
\n5. The help is near, but I know that even if I scream no one is going to hear me

\n
\n6. The help is near, but I know that even if I scream no one is going to hear me
\n
\nGeneral summary:
\nAn unspecified character is trapped in the middle of hurricane Katrina. As many other affected people did during that hard time, he\/she stays and the Super Dome, which the biggest stadium in New Orleans. The song is written in first person, and it specifies how the individual starts getting desperate about the situation and consequently, starts craving for help.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"33681086","body":"Great Ari,

\n1. he was thinking of her and how their relationship could evolve. Then he realized it was just a dream; he already lost her.
\n
\n2. Then he started to think about if she would ever come back.
\n
\n
\n3. When he was with her, he was the best man on earth. Now he got replaced, which he can\u2019t handle
\n
\n4. He regrets not proposing to her when he had the chance. This was she wouldn\u2019t had been able to leave so easily and effortlessly.
\n
\n
\n5. She was everything to me. Now that she has left, nothing feels right
\n
\nSong summary: he can\u2019t believe that the love of his life is gone. Now that she is gone, he is just fulfilled with negative emotions and thoughts that have taken control of his life and are driving him crazy. He only thinks about her, and what he could have done different to keep her with him. This obsession has even made him imagine her and a successful relationship with her. However, it\u2019s too late. Now it\u2019s only \u201cjust a dream\u201d.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"33333754","body":"Thanks Erik,

\nI looked out this morning and the sun was gone
\nTurned on some music to start my day
\nI lost myself in a familiar song
\nI closed my eyes and I slipped away
\n
\nIt's more than a feeling
\n(More than a feeling)
\nWhen I hear that old song they used to play
\n(More than a feeling)
\nI begin dreaming
\n(More than a feeling)
\n'Til I see Marianne walk away
\nI see my Marianne walkin' away
\n
\nSo many people have come and gone
\nTheir faces fade as the years go by
\nYet I still recall as I wander on
\nAs clear as the sun in the summer sky
\n
\nIt's more than a feeling
\n(More than a feeling)
\nWhen I hear that old song they used to play
\n(More than a feeling)
\nI begin dreaming
\n(More than a feeling)
\n'Til I see Marianne walk away
\nI see my Marianne walkin' away
\n
\nWhen I'm tired and thinking cold
\nI hide in my music, forget the day
\nAnd dream of a girl I used to know
\nI closed my eyes and she slipped away
\nShe slipped away
\n
\nIt's more than a feeling
\n(More than a feeling)
\nWhen I hear that old song they used to play
\n(More than a feeling)
\nI begin dreaming
\n(More than a feeling)
\n'Til I see Marianne walk away
\n
\n1. He turned on some music to start his day and he got lost when he heard a song he recognized
\n2. Every time he listens to that song he feels something powerful inside of him. It reminds him of Marianne leaving his side
\n3. So many people have come and gone from his life and yet he remembers when he was young
\n4. Same as #2.. repeats
\n5. When he feels lonely he uses music to find his love but she always slips away from his hands
\n
\nSummary:
\nI think that this song is trying to make us see and understand how he feels about his love called Marianne.
\nHe tries to find her in a song but every time he spots her or she runs across his mind, he is unable to make her stay. Marianne slips away from his fingers and there is nothing he can do. Every time he remembers her by listening to the song, he gets this feeling that he can\u2019t explain.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"33333650","body":"Thanks Amanda,

\n At the beginning of this song Jon Foreman is welcoming the listeners to reality. He is also telling them when you don't want to get up and keep moving then you have to force yourself to keep on going. If your not part of your own solution then your part of your own problem. Next he is saying forget about what happened and that maybe you or someone made a mistake and you cant ignore yourself it so that you need to face the issues at hand. You will be lost and wont have any places to go from yourself if you cant fix or face the internal problem, therefore there won't be any internal growth. Lastly its telling the audience to move on and forget and forgive.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"33274898","body":"Will,

\nLeonard Cohen
\n
\nNow I've heard there was a secret chord
\nThat David played, and it pleased the Lord
\nBut you don't really care for music, do you?
\nIt goes like this
\nThe fourth, the fifth
\nThe minor fall, the major lift
\nThe baffled king composing Hallelujah
\n
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah
\n
\nYour faith was strong but you needed proof
\nYou saw her bathing on the roof
\nHer beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
\nShe tied you
\nTo a kitchen chair
\nShe broke your throne, and she cut your hair
\nAnd from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
\n
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah
\n
\nBaby I have been here before
\nI know this room, I've walked this floor
\nI used to live alone before I knew you.
\nI've seen your flag on the marble arch
\nLove is not a victory march
\nIt's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
\n
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah
\n
\nThere was a time you let me know
\nWhat's really going on below
\nBut now you never show it to me, do you?
\nAnd remember when I moved in you
\nThe holy dove was moving too
\nAnd every breath we drew was Hallelujah
\n
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah
\n
\nMaybe there\u2019s a God above
\nBut all I\u2019ve ever learned from love
\nWas how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
\nIt\u2019s not a cry you can hear at night
\nIt\u2019s not somebody who has seen the light
\nIt\u2019s a cold and it\u2019s a broken Hallelujah
\n
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah
\n
\nYou say I took the name in vain
\nI don't even know the name
\nBut if I did, well really, what's it to you?
\nThere's a blaze of light
\nIn every word
\nIt doesn't matter which you heard
\nThe holy or the broken Hallelujah
\n
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah
\n
\nI did my best, it wasn't much
\nI couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
\nI've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
\nAnd even though
\nIt all went wrong
\nI'll stand before the Lord of Song
\nWith nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

\nDido wrote this song back in 2003, it has a strong meaning on love and her feelings towards her partner. This song could be intended to be about the singer's personal break up, yet it still contradicts the negative break-up with her optimistic views on the situation. This song starts out by Dido questioning why she should hide her feelings. She does not want to keep them since its better to say what you feel than not saying anything at all, because either way, you'll still feel it. She also assures she does not want to make the situation any harder or change the situation of things. During the phrase, "I will go down with this ship," she expresses how love is being lost. She later states how she will not let go of her feeling and will keep fighting for what she wants, which in this case is him. "There will be no white flag above my door." This quote shows the symbol of the white flag, which is surrender. The absence of the flag shows her strong will on not giving up and fighting until the end. She later restates how she is in love, and "always will be." Dido then starts to confess how she also committed some mistakes which led to her hurtful break-up. Dido makes sure she understands how he is playing by the rules of "its over." Since it is a very common phrase during break-ups, she believes he really does not want to speak to her again and understands it. On a more positive hand, later in the song, Dido talks about meeting in the future and knowing what they once had, will still be there. She decides to "hold her tongue," and not express her feelings that day, he will think that she had moved on, even though she really hasn't.

\nLyrics:
\n
\nI know you think that I shouldn't still love you,
\nOr tell you that.
\nBut if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it
\nwhere's the sense in that?
\n
\nI promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
\nOr return to where we were
\n
\nI will go down with this ship
\nAnd I won't put my hands up and surrender
\nThere will be no white flag above my door
\nI'm in love and always will be
\n
\nI know I left too much mess and
\ndestruction to come back again
\nAnd I caused nothing but trouble
\nI understand if you can't talk to me again
\nAnd if you live by the rules of "it's over"
\nthen I'm sure that that makes sense
\n
\nI will go down with this ship
\nAnd I won't put my hands up and surrender
\nThere will be no white flag above my door
\nI'm in love and always will be
\n
\nAnd when we meet
\nWhich I'm sure we will
\nAll that was there
\nWill be there still
\nI'll let it pass
\nAnd hold my tongue
\nAnd you will think
\nThat I've moved on....
\n
\nI will go down with this ship
\nAnd I won't put my hands up and surrender
\nThere will be no white flag above my door
\nI'm in love and always will be
\n
\nI will go down with this ship
\nAnd I won't put my hands up and surrender
\nThere will be no white flag above my door
\nI'm in love and always will be
\n
\nI will go down with this ship
\nAnd I won't put my hands up and surrender
\nThere will be no white flag above my door
\nI'm in love and always will be","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"33171258","body":"Melanie,

\nThanks, but you basically did too much... go back and re-read my summary of the essay... see how simple and specific it is... just write down one or two sentences for each verse and then give me the main idea of the song (what you think it is at least)... Let me know if you have any questions.
\n
\nThanks,
