1.How does Music Relate to
Depression
2. Why do I find this topic Interesting?
■
When people experience symptoms of depression they tend to feel isolated and
alone. They feel emotional stressors and sadness throughout various moments of
their days. Music replenishes the soul. Music allows for clear and cohesive thoughts
to flow and to process in that individuals mind.
■
The reason why I find this topic interesting is because everyone experiences
sadness and loss of hope. When I find myself loosing hope or feeling lost in the
world all it takes is one good song to A: express the emotions felt inside by crying or
B: look at the bright side of the situation at hand and be thankful for all that I am
given rather than over-analyze things that I cant control or things that I can
’
t have.
Entree Number One:
“I got everything I wanted”-by Billie Eilish (2019)
Entree Number Two:
“Summertime Sadness”- by Lana Del Rey (2012)
[Please note both audio recordings are over one minute long]
Social Context:
-These two musical entrée’s were
written
In the 21
st
Century but two influential
female artists.
When thinking of the social contexts it
is important to think about the purpose
that this was written. In my opinion the
purpose of both of these musical
works was to tell their audience that no
matter how much you gain in this world
personal acceptance and happiness is
the most powerful tool a female (or
male) can have in this day and age.
How this piece related to your topic?
-Personal acceptance of your mental,
emotional and physical state is a major
problem with individuals who suffer with
depression. I believe these two musical piece’s
relates to my topic of Music & Depression
because one tells a story of suicide while the
other is explaining personal unhappiness
although all her dreams were accomplished.
These two main points have a direct line to the
state of mind with a person who was been
diagnosed with depressed or who is
experiencing depressive thoughts/symptoms.
Musical Characteristic
That Relates to my
Topic:
■
A musical characteristic that relates to
my topic is rhythm. Both these artists
are very consonant sounding (harmony)
which means they are pleasing to hear
and not harsh. Eilish’s song uses a
heart-beat like rhythm while Ray’s
rhythm reminds me of a marching band.
This relates to my topic because the
harmonies and rhythm of both these
musical pieces illustrate the steady and
consistent pace that directly correlates
to the steady and consistent emotional
turmoil's a person faces.
“I got everything I wanted”-by Billie
Eilish (few lyrics to emphasize how it
relates to my topic)
“I had a dream
I got everything I wanted
Not what you'd think
And if I'm being honest.. I tried to
scream
But my head was underwater
They called me weak
Like I'm not just somebody's
daughter”
“Summertime Sadness”- by Lana Del
Rey (few lyrics to emphasize how it
relates to my topic)
“Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That baby, you the best”
