Brad Paisley

opinion on a specific piece everyone knows of a certain song that will make them feel sad (Furukawa, 5). One text that is often considered by most listeners to be sad is the song “Whiskey Lullaby” by the artists Brad Paisley and Allison Krauss and was written by Bill Anderson and John Randall. This text can be found as an audio recording on iTunes and was first released on March 29, 2004 (Krauss and Paisley). This song is about a man and a women who were so miserable apart they both ended up taking their own lives because they felt they had nothing more to live for (Krauss and Paisley). The purpose of this song is to make an individual see that love is a great thing while you have it, but after its over can be haunting and cause distress (Krauss and Paisley). The major factor that cues one into the fact that this song is meant to be sad is that the song is in a minor key (Krauss and Paisley). Another significant factor is the slow tempo and quietness of the song which we often can relate to feeling miserable (Krauss and Paisley). The lyrics clearly tell a sad tale of a love lost (Krauss and Paisley). Some would even go as far as to say the viola played in the background of the song is intended to imitate human sounds of misery such as a wavering voice (Krauss and Paisley). Though this song is meant to give the feeling of sadness, there are songs that are meant to make individuals feel happy. One such piece is the official music video for the song “Outside My…

all of the memories, all the places I went, and the time that I spent here. Every little thing I do here had an impact on my life and I know every second is going to be a treasured memory. I may make new memories, but none of them will be like anything I made here. I know I’m going to miss this but I’m ready for something bigger. “When I Get Where I’m Going,” by Brad Paisley is my next song. The quote that I connect with from this song is, “When I get where I’m going don’t cry for me down…

Perry is stating that love can exist, even if neither person is perfect since she describes herself…
