Look What You Made Me Do” Song Review “Look What You Made Me Do” Song Review After what has felt like forever to us Swifties, Taylor has finally released her lead single for her new album “Reputation”. I think I felt the same as every other Taylor Swift fan when I heard the news that she was dropping new music, a sense of relief and happiness. Why? Because we’ve been waiting for three years for an album from her. Whatever reasons, personal or professional, Taylor decided to break the every two-year cycle for releasing her albums. Well, I have listened to this song (actually listening to it right now) and I am here to give my thoughts on it. So I was a Bit Disappointed…. I think the anticipation and excitement about her finally releasing music made the first time I listened to this almost a bad thing. I was expecting this huge, wonderful piece of music that would basically change the way I thought. I mean I still love the feeling I get when I listen to Blank Space, to me that song is iconic and I can totally relate to parts of it, and the same with a lot of other Taylor Swift songs, they are always so relatable. However, this song didn’t have that “WOW” factor for me. I liked it, but I thought that some of the parts were incredibly repetitive. The chorus was also a part that was a bit weird for me. I think that us Swifties are so used to these lyrical and poetical masterpieces that truly stand out from what other artists are creating nowadays, that when she released “Look What You Made Me Do” none of us were sure how to handle the simplicity of it. There is a lot of repetitiveness, and while that’s not necessarily bad, it’s not what I expect when I listen to a T-Swift song. I will say though that some of the lines are pure genius and really stood out to me. I am a fan of the verses and bridge, but the chorus is not my favorite part. I also really like the beat that the song has going on. I don’t know quite how to describe it, but I’m actually digging it (do people even use that phrase anymore? Oh well I’ll bring it back). Final Thoughts I will say that for those of you that do not like the song, while I respect your opinion I advise you to give the song another chance. After listening to it a few times, and honestly not taking it that seriously I am honestly starting to like this song. Do I think it’s her best work? Not by a long shot. However, is it the awful song that it seems to be getting portrayed as on the Internet? Not by a long shot. It is though, at least for me, a song that you really need to hear a few songs before you make a complete and total judgment on it. I mean now I find myself singing parts of it in my head and I’m not mad at myself. I am still excited for the release of Taylor Swift’s new album and after hearing “Look What You Made Me Do” I’m extremely curious to see what she’s going to do next. One thing that people can never say about Taylor is that she’s always predictable. As a song, I am going to give this song a rating of 6/10/. The song is catchy, but the chorus and the fact that there is way too much repetitiveness in the song make it lower in my mind. I will say that the lyric video on YouTube is so good in my opinion and is really a work of art. I will link to the lyric video down below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3K0RzZGpyds I hope that you all enjoyed this song review. This is the first review of a song that I have done so please give me feedback and even tell me if you think I should do it again. Love, Baleigh.

  • Teaching Latin Love Poetry with Pop Music1
    Teaching Classical Languages Volume 10, Issue 2 Kopestonsky 71 Never Out of Style: Teaching Latin Love Poetry with Pop Music1 Theodora B. Kopestonsky University of Tennessee, Knoxville ABSTRACT Students often struggle to interpret Latin poetry. To combat the confusion, teachers can turn to a modern parallel (pop music) to assist their students in understanding ancient verse. Pop music is very familiar to most students, and they already trans- late its meaning unconsciously. Building upon what students already know, teach- ers can reframe their approach to poetry in a way that is more effective. This essay shows how to present the concept of meter (dactylic hexameter and elegy) and scansion using contemporary pop music, considers the notion of the constructed persona utilizing a modern musician, Taylor Swift, and then addresses the pattern of the love affair in Latin poetry and Taylor Swift’s music. To illustrate this ap- proach to connecting ancient poetry with modern music, the lyrics and music video from one song, Taylor Swift’s Blank Space (2014), are analyzed and compared to poems by Catullus. Finally, this essay offers instructions on how to create an as- signment employing pop music as a tool to teach poetry — a comparative analysis between a modern song and Latin poetry in the original or in translation. KEY WORDS Latin poetry, pedagogy, popular music, music videos, song lyrics, Taylor Swift INTRODUCTION When I assign Roman poetry to my classes at a large research university, I re- ceive a decidedly unenthusiastic response. For many students, their experience with poetry of any sort, let alone ancient Latin verse, has been fraught with frustration, apprehension, and confusion.

Outside of the Georgia loss, it was a pretty great showing at home for the Irish. Against Navy, we did not look like our normal, dominant home-selves, however we still were able to grind out a hard-fought victory vs a rival on a cold, rainy day in South Bend. Marshmallows were everywhere which prompted me to ask a lot of people where this tradition started from and I could not get an answer.

  • 2021 Breeze Show Choir Catalog
    Previously Arranged Titles (updated 2/24/21) Specific details about each arrangement (including audio samples and cost) are available at https://breezetunes.com . The use of any of these arrangements requires a valid custom arrangement license purchased from https://tresonamusic.com . Their licensing fees typically range from $180 to $280 per song and must be paid before you can receive your music. Copyright approval frequently takes 4-6 weeks, sometimes longer, so plan accordingly. If changes to the arrangement are desired, there is an additional fee of $100. Examples of this include re-voicing (such as from SATB to another voice part), rewriting band parts, making cuts, adding an additional verse, etc. **Arrangements may be transposed into a different key free of charge, provided that the change does not make re-voicing necessary** For songs that do not have vocal rehearsal tracks, these can be created for $150/song. To place an order, send an e-mail to [email protected] or submit a license request on Tresona listing Garrett Breeze as the arranger, Tips for success using Previously Arranged Titles: • Most arrangements can be made to work in any voicing, so don’t be afraid to look at titles written for other combinations of voices than what you have. Most SATB songs, for example, can be easily reworked for SAT. • Remember that show function is one of the most important things to consider when purchasing an arrangement. For example, if something is labelled in the catalog as a Song 2/4, it is probably not going to work as a closer.

  • YOU KNOW IT USED to BE Like Many of Her Songs, Taylor Swift Draws on Her Own Experiences for Inspiration in ‘Bad Blood’
    ACCESS ALL AREAS... bad blood APPEARS IN ROCK & POP 2018 Released: 2015 Album: 1989 Label: Big machine, Republic ABOUT THE SONG ‘Bad Blood’ — from Taylor Swift’s Grammy award- winning 2014 album 1989 — was a worldwide hit, reaching No. 1 in the USA, Australia, Canada, Israel, CAUSE BABY NOW WE’VE GOT New Zealand and Scotland. Written and performed by Taylor Swift, Max Martin and Shellback, the remixed single version was released on 17 May 2015 with added verses by rapper Kendrick Lamar. Inspired by the pop BAD BLOOD scene of the 1980s, Swift described 1989 as her ‘first “ documented official pop album’. YOU KNOW IT USED TO BE Like many of her songs, Taylor Swift draws on her own experiences for inspiration in ‘Bad Blood’. The song describes the betrayal of a close friend, and the resulting breakdown of the friendship. Despite intense speculation that the friend involved could be another well-known MAD LOVE artist, Swift has always refused to name them. SO TAKE A LOOK WHAT YOU’VE DONE RECORDING AND PRODUCTION ‘Bad Blood’ was produced by Swedish songwriter, record producer and singer Max Martin, who worked with Swift on ‘Black Space’ in 2014. Martin has also written, co-written and/or produced hits for Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Maroon 5 and The Weeknd among many others. ‘Bad Blood’ was recorded at MXM Studios in Stockholm and mixed at MixStar Studios in Virginia Beach, Virginia. It was mastered at Sterling Sound in New York. COMPOSITION AWARDS ” Unusually, the song starts with a chorus, with powerhouse drums adding a stadium-anthem feel to the otherwise a cappella vocals.

Robert E. Lee. Other artists reached out to those suffering from depression. Pink taught her daughter a valuable lesson of self-acceptance. Finally, Kendrick Lamar, the night's big winner, set the stage ablaze at the beginning of the show, while Taylor Swift said goodbye to her reputation in a new music video.

    Taylor Swift Taylor Swift - Look What You Made Me Do Lyrics: I don't like your little games. Don't like your tilted stage. The role you make me play, the fool. No, I don't like you. I don't like your perfect crime. How you laugh when you lie. You said the gun was mine isn't cool, no, I don't like you. But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time. Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time. I've got a list of names, and yours is in red, underlined. I check it once, then I check it twice. Ooh, look what you made me do. Look what you made me do. Look what you just made me do. Look would you just made me— Ooh, look what you made me do. Look what you made me do. Look what you just made me do. Look what you just made me do. I don't like your kingdom keys. They once belonged to me. You asked me for a place to sleep. Locked me out and threw a feast. What? The world moves on, another day another drama, drama. But not for me, not for me, all I think about is karma. And then the world moves on, but one thing's for sure. Maybe I got mine, but you'll all get yours. But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time, nick of time. Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time, all the time.
