  1. I dream of you more than you dream I do, • How can I prove to you this love is real? • You’re mean to me more than you mean to be, • You just can’t seem to see the way I feel. • Performed by Frank Sinatra (1944) • *What is the theme of this song? Analyze each line.

  2. Just gonna stand there and watch me burn • Well that’s all right because I like the way it hurts • Just gonna stand there and hear me cry • Well that’s all right because I love the way you lie • I love the way you lie. • Written and performed by Eminem (2010) • What is the theme of this song? • Analyze each line.

  3. What do these lyrics mean? #1 • Life's a dance, you learn as you go. • Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow. • Don't worry 'bout what you don't know, • life's a dance, you learn as you go.

  4. What do these lyrics mean? #2 • You know a dream is like a river • Ever changin' as it flows • And a dreamer's just a vessel • That must follow where it goes • Trying to learn from what's behind you • And never knowing what's in store • Makes each day a constant battle • Just to stay between the shores

  5. What do these lyrics mean? #3 • And I will sail my vessel • 'Til the river runs dry • Like a bird upon the wind • These waters are my sky • I'll never reach my destination • If I never try • So I will sail my vessel • 'Til the river runs dry

  6. Song analysis project • *Pick a song with lyrics that have many poetic devices in them (similes, metaphors, repetition, alliteration, etc.) • *You are going to write an analysis of your song lyrics later this week. Bring your written or printed out lyrics with you to class on Wednesday. • *Begin brainstorming the song you will use!

  7. Song analysis • Must include: • Title of song and performer (In “Life’s a Dance” by John Michael Montgomery…) • Summary of what the song is about and the theme of the song • Pick 2 poetic devices that are used in the song and write about how they affect the theme. • Example: • Answer: The writer uses metaphors to emphasize the fact that the journey of life is comparable to a dance, in which you don’t always know exactly what you’re doing or if you’re going to lead or follow. • Prove: Everyone has ups and downs and will realize that “life’s a dance you learn as you go.” • Explain: This shows that you may not always know what life has in store for you, but you will learn to adapt to your situations.
