Profiles of Lady Diana from the Metaphors of Candle in the Wind by Elton John. A Final Project. English Department. The Faculty of Languages and Arts. Semarang State University. The first advisor is Dra. Rahayu Pui H., M. Hum and Dwi Anggara Asianti, S.S., M.Pd. Key Words: Lady Diana, Metaphors This study is about the use of metaphor in Elton John’s song lyric. The problems of this study are what is the meaning of the song and how does the song relate to Lady Diana. The objective of the study are to identify the meaning of the song and to describe how the song relate to Lady Diana. The result of this study is expected to find the false images of Lady Diana that was built in the song lyric. I used deconstruction and qualitative research as the method of this study, since the data were in written song. I also used library research method. I search for some books to find further information. The data were words that containing metaphors to find the profiles of Lady Diana in the song lyric. Metaphors that is found in Elton John’s song lyric are the profiles of Lady Diana that beautiful, interesting, popular, become trendsetter, full of spirit, moving around, and lighting people around her. In conducted the research, I read Elton John’s song lyric and then identified the metaphors that reflected Lady Diana’s profiles which are found in the text of the song lyric. I listed them in a table and then classified the data. In analyzing the data, I explained the definition, description meaning of metaphor. Next, I interpret the data using my own words. And the last step, I described the use of Metaphor and deconstruction to find the implicit meaning of Lady Diana’s profiles which are expressed in Elton John’s song lyric as well as the implied meaning of the song. Finally the result of the study shows that there are four metaphors found in the song lyric that reflects Lady Diana’s profiles.The metaphors are England’s rose, torch, wings, and candle in the wind. By using those metaphors, Elton John wants to convey the profiles of Lady Diana through his ideas in his song lyric and also to give ornament to his literary works. However, by using deconstruction I could create new interpretation of Lady Diana’s profiles which was formed in the song. The result of this study is hoped able to help the readers and the listeners of Elton John’s song lyric to to get the new interpretation of the song from different point of view. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT .......................................................................... v ABSTRACT ................................................................................................ vi TABLE OF CONTENTS ............................................................................ vii TABLE OF APPENDICES ....................................................................... x CHAPTER I.

Photo by: Scott Roth/AP. A simile makes a direct comparison between two things. It uses the words "like" or "as." The comparison reveals a new meaning. For example, the rock group Foreigner wrote a song called "Cold as Ice." The lyrics include a simile: You're as cold as ice You're willing to sacrifice our love In this example, the lyrics are not talking about the weather. Instead, they compare a woman to ice to show her emotions. Many songs can be used to teach about similes.

    The Biggest Hits of All: The Hot 100's All-Time Top 100 Songs billboard.com/articles/news/hot-100-turns-60/8468142/hot-100-all-time-biggest-hits-songs-list Adele, Rihanna, Ed Sheeran, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Elton John, Chubby Checker, Mariah Carey, Shania Twain & Whitney Houston Getty Images; Photo Illustration by Quinton McMillan As part of Billboard's celebration of the 60th anniversary of our Hot 100 chart this week, we're taking a deeper look at some of the biggest artists and singles in the chart's history. Here, we revisit the ranking's 100 biggest hits of all-time. On Aug. 4 1958, Billboard launched the Hot 100, forever changing pop music -- or at least how it's measured. Sixty years later, the chart remains the gold-standard ranking of America's top songs each week. And while what goes into a hit has changed (bye, bye jukebox play; hello, streaming!), attaining a spot on the list -- or better yet, a coveted No. 1 -- i s still the benchmark to which artists explore, from Ricky Nelson on the first to Drake on the latest. Which brings us to the hottest-of-the-hot list the 100 most massive smashes over the charts six decades. 1/10 1. The Twist - 1960 Chubby Checker The only song to rule the Billboard Hot 100 in separate release cycles (one week in 1960, two in 1962), thanks to adults catching on to the song and its namesake dance after younger audiences popularized them. 2. Smooth - 1999 Santana Feat. Rob Thomas 3.

  • John, Sir Elton (B.1947) by Nathan G
    John, Sir Elton (b.1947) by Nathan G. Tipton Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Sir Elton John on stage in 2008. Photograph by Elton John has, over five decades, achieved an amazingly successful track record in Richard Mushet. the music industry. He was not only the biggest-selling pop superstar of the 1970s, Image appears under the but, more surprisingly, he continues to retain popularity among his fans and respect Creative Commons from music critics. Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 Generic license. Elton John holds a music industry record for most consecutive singles placed in the Top 40, a string that began in 1970 and was broken only in 2000. Stephen Erlewine has noted that, although Elton John has endured temporary slumps in creativity and sales, he continues to craft contemporary pop standards that showcase his musical versatility. John's combination of melodic skills, dynamic charisma, and raucous performance style has made him a remarkably popular musical artist. Elton John was born Reginald Kenneth Dwight in Pinner, Middlesex, England on March 25, 1947. Dwight began playing piano at age four and, when he was eleven, won a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music in London. After six years at school, he left in order to break into the music business. In 1961 he joined his first band, Bluesology, but left in 1966 because of creative differences with bandleader Long John Baldry. During this time Dwight had answered a Liberty Records advertisement for songwriters; and, though he failed the vocal audition, he was given a stack of lyrics written by Bernie Taupin, a young songwriter from Lincolnshire who had also answered the ad.

  • The Shape of Music to Come: Organizational, Ideational, and Creative Change in the North American Music Industry, 1990-2009 By
    The Shape Of Music To Come: Organizational, Ideational, And Creative Change In The North American Music Industry, 1990-2009 by Kimberly Elizabeth de Laat A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology University of Toronto © Copyright by Kimberly Elizabeth de Laat 2017 The Shape Of Music To Come: Organizational, Ideational, And Creative Change In The North American Music Industry, 1990-2009 Kimberly Elizabeth de Laat Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology University of Toronto 2017 Abstract This dissertation examines the relationship between occupational roles, and creativity, uncertainty, and change in cultural industries. Over the course of three chapters, it uses regression, discourse, and content analysis, as well as in-depth interviews with professional songwriters and music industry personnel to analyze collaborative dynamics and collective sensemaking throughout the transition to digital production in the North American music industry. The first chapter develops meaning-centric measures of creativity to analyze how collaborative strategies shifted throughout the transition to digital production. It demonstrates empirically that musical diversity and innovation operate as countervailing forces – innovative forms can be devoid of diverse content – and calls attention to how limited examinations of cultural production are if the outcomes of interest are misspecified. Failing to attend to artistic form and content renders cultural objects no different from non-cultural phenomena, and leads to impoverished interpretations of institutional dynamics. Chapter 2 identifies how discourse is used to assess new technology and make sense of one’s place within a changing organizational landscape. It demonstrates that the patterned use of analogies and metaphors inform sensemaking and sensegiving efforts based on one’s occupational role.
