Essay 3-The Message of Music

My ideas for Essay 3 is to let people know the truth about music today. My goal is to try to convince people that music should go back to the days where it had an actual meaning. Also, i want to prove that music today is fake. I plan to do this by using the song "Where's the Love?" by Black Eyed Peas. This song will help me prove my claim because it is one of the only songs today that has a meaning to it. This song speaks the truth about the world today and all it's struggles. It doesn't talk about sex,money, materialistic things. I mean it does talk about these things but only to say that these things are taking over the world. Its making people do bad things and the reason why people today want these things so bad is because the music idustry makes it seem like without things like money, nice cars, and clothes, you are nothing. With this essay I've discovered that music today does need to change. I never realized before this how negative music is today. I listened to songs like "The Message" and I realized that music has really changed for the worse. Instead of talking about real life struggles and pain, music today talks about material things. As if it was the most important thing in the world.
The process of writing this essay is a long and troubled journey. You have to take it step by step because if you dont you will loose out on the most important details. First you have to bring down your song verse by verse and grab the meaning to it. After you do that, you have to decide weither or not you agree with the song. If you dont, you got to explain what exactly you don't agree with and make a claim. If you do, you got to tell all the things you like about the song, and make a claim. After you've made you're claim, you have to find sources to support your claim. Your song is only one support, you need things like articles, magazines, newspaper selections, you support your claim. For me this was the hardest part. I had to literally listen to alot of different songs just to find one negative enough to suppport my claim. After you do all that, it's time to cite your sources. After you've got all your scoures and everything you have to write the paper. I haven't gotten that far yet,but I know when I do I'm going to have to get extra help.
