Sonnets usually speak of how much the poet loves the significant other and how the beloved both drives the poet mad but fills them with joy simultaneously. The poet often speaks of how they wish to see their beloved again and tell them how they feel or how much they miss them. The poets often write of their foolishness when they are in love because they can think of nothing else but their beloved. This song, “Addicted” by Simple Plan (which all of us probably remember hearing on the radio in middle school), speaks of how he misses the person who left him although he tried to make her happy and continuously calls her a heartbreaker, which I think is rather on the same par as some of these sonnets.
(Note: I don’t often listen to love-y music that would be similar to the sonnet so I really had to think about this one since the most similar things to love songs I have are Disney and Elton John. I couldn't think of an entire album of only love songs so I might have to ask my sister/girlfriend as they are much more musically inclined than I am and I may have another video and additional entry for this week's Wildcard)
Thanks for you post, Rebecca. Don't forget that the assignment asks for an album or series of songs (lyric sequence). They might be "love-y" and they might not--you could have a lyric sequence about hate--but they should be a sequence of first-person songs.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I've found one so I'll do another post about it when I can. I've got to find the lyrics/links to the rest of the songs in reference to what I found so once I can do that, I'll put up another post.
