Music

Is music Poetry?

The Way she moves: this song i think would be considered poetry becasue it has a lot of elements of fiction. it has rhyme, repetition of words, denotation when he is talking abotu her whipping the sleep from her eyes.
The Way She Moves"It's getting lateYour eyes are closed and mine are wide awake(But still)I can never go onI can never go on, like(Just like)I'm begging just to see your eyes againI can never go on(I can never go on)Should I even care that you didn't say anything?I tried to do my bestShould have given her better thingsLike rings and rosesNever do reply when I hint the messageI try to smell my best with a bottle of essenceGet to the point, style and romanceAnd I could never go onI could never go onThe way she moves away, ohI wanted her to stay a whileDon't go home away, ohThe way she moves away, ohI wanted her to stay a whileDon't go homeAway, oh, whoaShe's showing signs of motionAs she wipes the sleep awayI can get through thisI can get through this rideYou gotta give a littleBut it takes a lot to get over you'Cause it makes no sense to be permanentIf I can't feel, right, right, rightThe way she moves away, ohI wanted her to stay a whileDon't go home away, ohThe way she moves away, ohI wanted her to stay a whileDon't go homeAway, oh, whoaIt's a terrible thing to know what you wantAnd to know you can't have it at allAll I wanted was to let you know how I...It's a terrible thingIt's a terrible, it's a terrible thingA terrible, terrible thingThe way she moves away, ohI wanted her to stay a whileDon't go home away, ohThe way she moves away, ohI wanted her to stay a whileDon't go homeAwayThe way she movesThe way she movesThe way she movesThe way she movesThe way she moves

~Paparazzi: I Do not thin that this would be considered poetry, but i guess if thasts what she wasnted to call it then it would be considered poety. of course it had rythem because it is a song but that does not make it poetry.

I think that these songs are very different, " the way she moves tells a stoy its about something in his life that ment something. paparazzi has no point and she is just saying it to say something.

Rap Music:

Yes rap music a poetic expession. Rap has a lot of emotion in the songs, or it tells a story about that persons life and they just chose to put it to music insted of just saying it.

Thematic critic: i think that i am a theamatic critic becasue i know that words can mean anything and that often the real meaning is hidden. i wish that i knew what every song really ment to that person because it means something different to everyone.
