Above is the singer, Cody Carson's description of the song and how he wrote it.
A front row seat to incomparable thrill
Reflecting on anything he had ever craved
The sunrise never seemed so sweet,
Entranced by the final ocean breeze,
As the world beneath him starts to shake
Run, run
Run to the hills
Leave behind your dollar bills
The value of paper means nothing now
When everything around you is crumbling down
While finding shelter for the end
They begin reflecting on everything
I mean everything
All the life they spent till then
She turns the page in frantic despair
While hoping that auspicious answers are there
She calls off the search
Accepts her fate
Sits by the window no will to escape
Stay, stay
Right where you are
While death waits outside your door
The sirens are screaming
They're letting you know
To sit back relax and enjoy the show
While finding shelter for the end
They begin reflecting on everything
I mean everything
All the life they spent till then
As rock and ash fall from the sky
So surreal
They hold on to anything
I mean anything
Hoping that life won't pass them by
Non-existing answers
We are now condemned my friends
This is the end
Stay, stay
Right where you are
While death waits outside your door
While finding shelter for the end
They begin reflecting on everything
I mean everything
All the life they spent till then
As rock and ash fall from the sky
So surreal
They hold on to anything
I mean anything
Hoping that life won't pass them by
Lyrics:
He plants his feet remaining still A front row seat to incomparable thrill
Reflecting on anything he had ever craved
The sunrise never seemed so sweet,
Entranced by the final ocean breeze,
As the world beneath him starts to shake
Run, run
Run to the hills
Leave behind your dollar bills
The value of paper means nothing now
When everything around you is crumbling down
While finding shelter for the end
They begin reflecting on everything
I mean everything
All the life they spent till then
She turns the page in frantic despair
While hoping that auspicious answers are there
She calls off the search
Accepts her fate
Sits by the window no will to escape
Stay, stay
Right where you are
While death waits outside your door
The sirens are screaming
They're letting you know
To sit back relax and enjoy the show
While finding shelter for the end
They begin reflecting on everything
I mean everything
All the life they spent till then
As rock and ash fall from the sky
So surreal
They hold on to anything
I mean anything
Hoping that life won't pass them by
Non-existing answers
We are now condemned my friends
This is the end
Stay, stay
Right where you are
While death waits outside your door
While finding shelter for the end
They begin reflecting on everything
I mean everything
All the life they spent till then
As rock and ash fall from the sky
So surreal
They hold on to anything
I mean anything
Hoping that life won't pass them by

Feedback for peer: A nice appropriate song for the time, I liked the approach you took.
Great job explaining your story about the concert and why you like the song!
ReplyDeleteDidn’t really explain anything about the band, since they’re not really popular there’s no credibility for anything they’ve done
ReplyDeleteYou need to explain each category better, and you also need to explain why the song is the best song of all time.

I really like your explanation of choice of song, and how it went along with the theory of this Friday. Also, nice explanation of appeals!
ReplyDeleteI don’t think you did the song any justice. The assignment was to find the BEST SONG, not your favorite song, so I found all the information you stated completely irrelevant. You began your presentation by admitting that you didn’t have the best song, which defeats the purpose of the assignment. It was clear that you were not prepared. Relating the song to the shooting was in my opinion unnecessary, and, I feel as though once again, a display of irrelevant information was produced. All in all, I feel as if it just “didn’t work”.
ReplyDeleteReally good explanation on why you chose the song, and I agree that it is a very good song that applies to things going on in the world right now. I think it was a very good choice for the top song.
