hum 110 widad reflection

This week, we took a look at a few songs and how their lyrics can be considered a portrait.

** Reminder: A portrait is defined by a creative producing a depiction of another person or people.

Based on what we’ve learned so far in this class about portraits, as well as what we discussed regarding song lyrics and portraiture, select a song and write a 400-word-long reflection.

As you write your reflection, please consider the following:

  • What or whose perspective are the lyrics from?
  • What point or message is the song attempting to convey?
  • How is the song you selected a portrait?
  • Who is it about?
  • Does the sound of the music in this song emphasize the message or theme of the lyrics?

Guidelines:

To earn full credit:

  • Share the title of the song you’ve chosen & the name of the band or artist
  • Directly quote from the lyrics of the song you have chosen AT LEAST ONCE to highlight how it is a portrait.
    • Example:
      • In the song “Sienna” by The Maras, lead singer Mara Zardoya paints a portrait of what her daughter could have been like. She sings, “Ohh, Sienna would’ve been cute. Ohh, Sienna would look just like you.”
