This study describes an interpretation of meaning of five songs (Love Song, Gravity, Bright Lights and Cityscapes, King of Anything, and Brave) found in Sara Bareilles‟ selected songs. The words and lyrics in these selected Bareilles‟s songs are ambiguous. It is not easy to understand the meaning. The diction is quite hard to comprehend. Yet, the words itself really are fascinating and obviously genius words choosing. During the process of writing this paper, the writer uses qualitative method with library research to collect data information by using several books and web sites related to the problem of this paper as the references. This study is using the figure of speech approach to interpreting the lyrics. It is a method of finding meaning by the figure of speech (language style) that was used in a literary work in order to get the understanding of meaning. There are some figure of speech has been found in these six songs such as metaphor, hyperbole, irony, symbolism, and personification. Writer founds that metaphor is the most dominant figure of speech that was used in Sara Bareilles‟s selected songs.

Studi ini menjelaskan interpretasi makna dari lima lagu (Love Song, Gravity, Bright Lights and Cityscapes, King of Anything, and Brave) yang ditemukan di lagu-lagu pilihan Sara Bareilles. Kata-kata dan lirik dalam lagu-lagu Bareilles yang dipilih ini ambigu. Tidak mudah untuk memahami artinya. Diksinya cukup sulit untuk dipahami. Namun, kata- kata itu sendiri benar-benar menarik dan pastinya pemilihan kata-katanya jenius. Selama proses penulisan makalah ini, penulis menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan penelitian kepustakaan untuk mengumpulkan informasi data dengan menggunakan beberapa buku dan situs web yang berkaitan dengan masalah tulisan ini sebagai referensi. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan figure of speech untuk menafsirkan lirik.

  • For the Oak Ridge Boys, It's Only Natural and It's Only at Cracker Barrel
    September 19, 2011 For the Oak Ridge Boys, It's Only Natural and It's Only at Cracker Barrel New CD Released with Five New Songs and Seven Rerecorded Hits Including "Elvira" LEBANON, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Oak Ridge Boys' latest CD, It's Only Natural, pays homage to their history while making some more history as it debuts exclusively at all Cracker Barrel Old Country Store® locations today. The CD features fresh cuts of their biggest hits and five new songs, including "Sacrifice …For Me" which was written by Joe Bonsall and is dedicated to America's fallen heroes. Newly inducted into the Grand Ole Opry®, these members of the Oak Ridge Boys came together in 1973. Richard Sterban, Duane Allen, William Lee Golden and Joe Bonsall began as gospel singers, became a top act in country music and then crossed over to pop with the monster hit "Elvira" in 1981. The song became their fourth No. 1 country hit, reached No. 5 on the pop charts, won the group a Grammy® award and went on to become one of only a handful of singles ever to go double platinum. In honor of "Elvira's" thirtieth anniversary, the group rerecorded the song, along with former Top Ten Billboard hits "Lucky Moon," "No Matter How High," "Gonna Take a Lot of River," "Beyond Those Years" and "True Heart" on It's Only Natural. New songs on the CD are "What'cha Gonna Do," "Wish You Could Have Been There," "Before I Die," "The Shade" and "Sacrifice…for Me." "We think it's pretty special to have The Oak Ridge Boys' thirtieth anniversary rerecording of ‘Elvira' on a CD in our exclusive music program," said Cracker Barrel Marketing Manager Julie Craig.

  • Music Has Always Been Important for Sara Bareilles. She Began Performing in School at an Early Age
    Music has always been important for Sara Bareilles. She began performing in school at an early age. Later, she joined a singing group while studying at the University of California, Los Angeles. “I got started my sophomore year at school, and I was just talking about it earlier. Actually, I felt like I just found my home because we were all equally geeky.” Bareilles had an easy time combining singing with songwriting. “They felt very, like, they went hand in hand to me ... writing the songs and singing them. Because I think they are all so personal and I tend to be a very autobiographical writer.” Her songs are often very personal. “I do write very much from my own perspective. I’m writing about things I’ve gone through … and, you know, a lot of relationship stuff and just sort of how I see the world.” She talks about her album “Kaleidoscope Heart.” “I feel like I took more risks this time around both from the songwriting perspective and from a production point, as well. We just kind of swung for the fences. And I wanted to have … I didn’t want to limit myself or self-edit too much this time around, so I 1 learningenglish.voanews.com | Voice of America | 10.3.12 really did what felt good.

I had been turning in new music.

  • A Piece of History
    A Piece of History Theirs is one of the most distinctive and recognizable sounds in the music industry. The four-part harmonies and upbeat songs of The Oak Ridge Boys have spawned dozens of Country hits and a Number One Pop smash, earned them Grammy, Dove, CMA, and ACM awards and garnered a host of other industry and fan accolades. Every time they step before an audience, the Oaks bring four decades of charted singles, and 50 years of tradition, to a stage show widely acknowledged as among the most exciting anywhere. And each remains as enthusiastic about the process as they have ever been. “When I go on stage, I get the same feeling I had the first time I sang with The Oak Ridge Boys,” says lead singer Duane Allen. “This is the only job I've ever wanted to have.” “Like everyone else in the group,” adds bass singer extraordinaire, Richard Sterban, “I was a fan of the Oaks before I became a member. I’m still a fan of the group today. Being in The Oak Ridge Boys is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.” The two, along with tenor Joe Bonsall and baritone William Lee Golden, comprise one of Country's truly legendary acts. Their string of hits includes the Country-Pop chart-topper Elvira, as well as Bobbie Sue, Dream On, Thank God For Kids, American Made, I Guess It Never Hurts To Hurt Sometimes, Fancy Free, Gonna Take A Lot Of River and many others. In 2009, they covered a White Stripes song, receiving accolades from Rock reviewers.
