Studienblatt / Lehramt UF Psychologie und Philosophie degree programme as it appears on und UF Englisch the student record sheet: Betreut von / Supervisor: Ao. Univ.-Prof. Mag. Dr. Eva Zettelmann Acknowledgements Coming from a family of musicians, my interest in music was fostered from a very young age. While, as a child, I was actively engaging in various forms of music, from playing the piano to singing in school choirs, my adolescence was characterised by a passive exploration of music as an art form. I remember recording my favourite songs on cassette tapes in order to be able to repeatedly listen to them and dissect their lyrics. I have always been a fan of song lyrics. Not only can they evoke strong feelings in the listener, but also help to construct and shape an individual’s identity and acknowledge them as members of a particular social group. Over the years, my infatuation with music and song lyrics has only become stronger, which is why it was out of doubt for me to write about anything else than what I am so passionate about. I would like to thank my supervisor Ao. Univ.-Prof. Mag. Dr. Eva Zettelmann for giving me the opportunity to immerse myself in this fascinating topic and for providing me with helpful feedback along the way. Furthermore, I would like to thank Ms. Gabrielle Smith- Dluha and Ms. Gillian Schwarz-Peaker for encouraging me to become a better writer and showing me that University can be fun too. My biggest thank you goes to my friends and family, who have supported me throughout my studies. Thank you Toni, Marie, Petra and Helga, I am forever grateful for your friendship and support. In particular, I would like to thank my mum, Gabi, for being the strong and independent woman she is, showing me that I can achieve anything, if I work hard enough. Last but not least I would like to thank my boyfriend, Brandon, for putting up with me and my endless rants and ramblings and being my emotional support.

  • The Libertines in Arrivo Con Un Nuovo Disco E Tour
    The Libertines in arrivo con un nuovo disco e tour I The Libertines, band culto degli anni 2000, formata dal celeberrimo Pete Doherty ed il poliedrico Carl Barat, dopo aver finalmente annunciato il loro ritorno sulle scene, consacrato da un gremitissimo concerto ad Hyde Park con più di 65.000 presenze lo scorso luglio, sono pronti ad arrivare anche in Italia per una unica, imperdibile, data evento. Nel corso degli ultimi 15 anni si è costantemente sentito parlare della band di east London, sia per la perfezione musicale e stilistica dei suoi due album, Up The Bracket e The Libertines, sia per il life style totalmente punk dei suoi componenti. Icone di stile, poeti maledetti, protagonisti dei tabloid, i The Libertines sono riusciti a rimanere, nel bene o nel male, sulla bocca di tutti. L’estate scorsa, dopo il leggendario live ad Hyde Park, è finalmente arrivata la notizia che il gruppo si sarebbe riunito per registrare il terzo, attesissimo, album da presentare poi in giro per il mondo con un tour nelle più grandi arene. Alex Turner degli Arctic Monkeys ha dichiarato: «Questa è una delle più belle notizie, siamo cresciuti conUp The Bracket nelle orecchie. Vederli di nuovo sul palco sarebbe stupendo». Lo stesso Pete Doherty ha affermato in una recente intervista al The Independent: «I Boys In The Band (titolo di uno dei loro pezzi più famosi, ndr) sono di nuovo insieme e siamo pronti a portare sul palco tutta la nostra energia!». NME Magazine ha messo il loro terzo disco, non ancora scritto, tra i “50 album da ascoltare assolutamente durante il 2015”.
