Mg Song For Analysis As A Poem

[Goudie]

I have to do a critical analysis of a poem for Grade 12 english. one of the choices is "singers and songwriters"

 

what would be a good choice for a song to analyze like a poem? take in mind my teacher is a generally hard marker, and said the songwriters choice is probably the hardest requireing the most work.

 

I love matt good and i think his writing is amazing, im just wondering what would be good choices as a poem. any help would be greatly apreciated. thanks

Fated. Nice and complex, I think.

I did this same assignment...

 

I chose Omissions of the Omen and Dancing Invisible

[bishopx]

Boy with a machine gun, or Under The Influence. They use a lot of deep metaphors...

 

Fated is good too

[Prometheon]

I'd go with Can't Get Shot.

I did this last year for writers craft. Chose the Rat who would be king. It's posted somewhere on this board. I got like a 95 or some shit like that, and got to play the song for the class. They hated it, which made it all the more enjoyable.

Oh, the things you do for the love of Matt, I love you guys for it.

[SoggyFrog]

That's right, Designate. I used The Night Opus for a short story analysis (two, actually). ;)

 

I can't say I did it much honour though.

[Shiri]

Wow, I wouldn't know where to begin with if I were to analyze Matt's stories.

[soundless_space]

I would most definitely analyze The Rat Who Would Be King. First thing that popped into my head when I read this thread topic.

Sort of a Protest Song

Apparitions

Truffle Pigs is a good one, Strange Days has pretty decent lyrics, Near Fantastica has some sweet lines (especially the acoustic "remix"), as do Rabbits, Blue Skies Over Bad Lands, Omissions ... I think that's just about one from every album (if not two).

 

Just remember that the newest record (White Light, that is) is a little more straightforward and somewhat less open to wide interpretations to the degree that albums like Audio of Being, Avalanche and Beautiful Midnight are. Not to say that it isn't at all ... just less so.

We were once forced, in high school, to select a song which in some way reflected the boook 1984, and modif the lyrics to wok....better. I used Indestructible. Do not ask me how, I am saturated with alcohol and am incapable of logic or reason.
