Piano Man by Billy Joel
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin
He says, "Son, can you play me a memory
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes."
la la la, di da da
La la, di di da da dum
Chorus:
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us all feelin' all right
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke and he'll light up your smoke
But there's some place that he'd rather be
He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me."
As his smile ran away from his face
"Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place"
Oh, la la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talkin' with Davy, who's still in the Navy
And probably will be for life
And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessman slowly gets stoned
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinkin' alone
Chorus
sing us a song you're the piano man
sing us a song tonight
well we're all in the mood for a melody
and you got us all feeling alright
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
To forget about their life for a while
And the piano, it sounds like a carnivore
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?"
Oh, la la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum
Chorus:
sing us a song you're the piano man
sing us a song tonight
well we're all in the mood for a melody
and you got us all feeling alright
In my opinion, the song Piano Man by Billy Joel is the most poetic song on the website straypoetry.com. This song holds many examples of poetic elements within it. For example things like, imagery, alliteration, hyperboles, personification, and rhyme schemes can be found throughout the song. The first piece of imagery that I found in this song would be in the first line, “its nine o’clock on a Saturday.” Here, you can picture a clock that reads nine o’clock. The next three lines that follow are also examples of imagery. In them, you can picture things like a restless crowd of people, or an old man sitting next to someone while having a good time at the bar. The first example of alliteration can be immediately found throughout the whole chorus. “Sing us a song; you’re the piano man, sing us a song tonight, well, were all in the mood for a melody, and you’ve got us feelin’ alright.” First, sing and song, in the first two lines. Next, you can see Well were and mood and melody in the third line all have to words starting with the same letter. The first hyperbole is shown in the line that says “He says, ‘Bill I believe this is killing me.’” This is an exaggeration. Also, the line “as the smile ran away from his face” is an example of personification because a smile cannot run away from his face. Thus, this song is full of poetic elements.

Social Relevance
Courtesy Of The Red White & Blue by: Toby Keith
The song "Courtesy of The Red White & Blue" by Toby Keith is about September 11. Toby starts out by telling the listener how his daddy served in the army to keep his mother, brother, sister, and him all safe. He also tells us how while he served in the army, he lost his right eye and altough this was a tragedy, it was all to keep his family safe and stay in the "land of the free." The part of this song that clearly tells us he is talking about the attack of September 11th is in the second stanza. He first says "Now this nation that I love is falling under attack." This refers to the terrorists that had decided to attack our nation. The next line then talks about a "sucker punch right in the back." This line refers to the surprise attack its self because nobody knew that this was going to happen of course and when it did happen, the whole world was chaos. Toby then talks about how when it did happen, everybody was so upset that anyone could ever think of doing this.
Fifteen by: Taylor Swift
The song Fifteen by Taylor Swift can relate to really any teenage girl who has really had her heart broken. I think this can range through the ages of thirteen to eighteen. This song immediately talks about a teenage girls first day of highschool, how she talks to her friends she hasnt "seen in a while." Taylor then talks about how it is the freshman year and how every girl has one of those rivalries she wants to avoid yet can't wait for her to leave highschool so she doesnt have to deal with her. But then Taylor talks about how every girl also hopes to have a senior boy notice her, and all of a sudden she feels "special." Most people say that most guys will just tell you anything you want to hear, and in one sense this is true but not all guys are this way. Girls don't listen to these people becuase most of us are stubborn and want to learn from our own mistakes. But, "when you are fifteen and somebody tells you they love you, youre gonna believe them." This statement is very true. At this age, most of us don't know what we should believe and who to trust. This song is a very good example of social relevance.
Where Were You by: Alan Jackson
This song shows socail relevance towards September eleventh also. The first hint you get is when he says "Did you stand there in shock at the site of That black smoke rising against that blue sky." When the planes crashed into the twin towers, there must have been a lot of smoke. This songs also seems as though it is dedicated to a certain person. Maybe a family member that was not around at the time of this day. Alan puts many questions in his song asking him where he was during this time, how he felt, what he did, etc.

Comfort #2
Letter To Me by: Brad Paisley
If I could write a letter to me
And send it back in time to myself at 17
First I'd prove it's me by saying look under your bed
There's a Skoal can and a Playboy no one else would know you hid
And then I'd say I know its tough
When you break up after seven months
And yeah I know you really liked her and it just don't seem fair
All I can say is pain like that is fast and it's rare
[1st Chorus]
And oh you got so much going for you going right
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
She wasn't right for you
And still you feel like there's a knife sticking out of your back
And you're wondering if you'll survive
You'll make it through this and you'll see
You're still around to write this letter to me
At the stop sign at Tomlinson and Eighth
Always stop completely don't just tap your brakes
And when you get a date with Bridgett make sure the tank is full
On second thought forget it that one turns out kinda cool
Each and every time you have a fight
Just assume you're wrong and daddy is right
And you should really thank Mrs. Bringman
She spend so much extra time
It's like she sees the diamond underneath
And she's polishing you 'til you shine
[2nd Chorus]
And oh you got so much going for you going right
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
Tonight's the bonfire rally
But you're staying home instead because if you fail Algebra
Mom and dad will kill you dead
Trust me you'll squeak by and get a C
And you're still around to write this letter to me
You've got so much up ahead
You'll make new friends
You should see your kids and wife
And I'd end up saying have no fear
These are nowhere near the best years of your life
I guess I'll see you in the mirror
When you're a grown man
P.S. "go hug Aunt Rita every chance you can"
[3rd Chorus]
And oh you got so much going for you going right
But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
I wish you'd study Spanish
I wish you'd take a typing class
I wish you wouldn't worry, let it be
I'd say have a little faith and you'll see
If I could write a letter to me
To me
In this song, Brad tells us about how he has gone through many things in his life and sometimes it can be hard but in the end, things have worked out for the better and he is comfortable where he is now. Brad states, "And oh you got so much going for you going right, But I know at 17 it's hard to see past Friday night
Tonight's the bonfire rally, But you're staying home instead because if you fail Algebra, Mom and dad will kill you dead." Brad talks about how when he was seventeen, the only thing he could think of was Friday night and what he was going to be doing. Also, he tells us about how he skips the bonfire rally to stay home and study spanish which in the end, most likely paid off for him.

My Front Porch Looking In by: Lonestar
Oh yeah
Yeah oh yeah
The only ground I ever owned was sticking to my shoes
Now I look at my front porch and this panoramic view
I can sit and watch the fields fill up
With rays of glowing sun
Or watch the moon lay on the fences
Like that's where it was hung
My blessings are in front of me
It's not about the land
I'll never beat the view
From my front porch looking in
There's a carrot top who can barely walk
With a sippy cup of milk
A little blue eyed blonde with shoes on wrong
'Cause she likes to dress herself
And the most beautiful girl holding both of them
And the view I love the most
Is my front porch looking in, yeah
I've traveled here and everywhere
Following my job
I've seen the paintings from the air
Brushed by the hand of God
The mountains and the canyons reach from sea to shining sea
But I can't wait to get back home
To the one he made for me
It's anywhere I'll ever go and everywhere I've been
Nothing takes my breath away
Like my front porch looking in
There's a carrot top who can barely walk
With a sippy cup of milk
A little blue eyed blonde with shoes on wrong
'Cause she likes to dress herself
And the most beautiful girl holding both of them
Yeah the view I love the most
Is my front porch looking in
I see what beautiful is about
When I'm looking in
Not when I'm looking out
There's a carrot top who can barely walk
With a sippy cup of milk
A little blue eyed blonde with shoes on wrong
'Cause she likes to dress herself
And the most beautiful girl holding both of them
Yeah the view I love the most
Oh, the view I love the most
Is my front porch looking in
Yeah
Oh, there's a carrot top who can barely walk
(From my front porch looking in)
A little blue eyed blonde with shoes on wrong, yeah
And the most beautiful girl
(Beautiful girl
From my front porch looking in)
Holding both of them
Oh, yeah
In this song, comfort in shown becuase the singer tells about how he likes his life just the way it is and he would not change anything for it. He tells the listener how he is comfortable at the state he is in and basically has everything he could even want or ask for.

The Best Day by: Taylor Swift
I'm five years old it's getting cold i've got my big coat on
i hear your laugh and look up smiling at you i run and run
past the pumpkin patch and the tractor rides look now the sky is gold
i hug your legs and fall asleep on the way home
i don't know why all the trees change in the fall
i know you're not scared of anything at all
don't know if snow white's house is near or far away
but i know i had the best day with you today
i'm thirteen now and don't know how my friends could be so mean
i come home crying and you hold me tight and grab the keys
and we drive and drive until we found a town far enough away
and we talk and window shop till i forgot all their names
i don't know who i'm gonna talk to now at school
but i know i'm laughing on the car ride home with you
don't know how long it's gonna take to feel ok
but i know i had the best day with you today
i have an excellent father
his strength is making me stronger
god smiles on my little brother
inside and out he's better than i am
i grew up in a pretty house and i had space to run
and i had the best days with you
there is a video i found from back when i was three
you set up a paint set in the kitchen and you're talking to me
it's the age of princesses and pirate ships and the seven dwarfs
daddy's smart and you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world
now i know why all the trees change in the fall
i know you were on my side even when i was wrong
and i love you for giving me your eyes
staying back and watching me shine and i didn't know if you knew
so i'm taking this chance to say that i had the best day with you today

Laughed Until We Cried by: Jason Aldean
Goin’ through my closet the other day
I found an old yearbook
Flipped right to the page of that senior trip
Down there on that Panama strip
We all started yellin’ when we smelled the beach
Couldn't wait to try our fake I.D.’s
We only had a few days
And a whole lot of memories to make
Oh man we were livin’
Didn't waste one minute
We talked and drank and danced and said goodbye
We laughed until we cried
This past year my family
Was sittin’ cross-legged 'round the Christmas tree
Listenin’ to granddad
We all knew it probably be his last
He was crackin’ jokes and we were takin’ turns
Tellin’ stories ‘bout fishin’ or lessons learned
Out on the porch with him
We all felt like kids again
Oh man we were livin
Sittin' there reminiscin'
We sang and talked and traveled back in time
We laughed until we cried
It's like the best days under the sun
Every emotion rolled into one
A little of this a little of that
Kinda happy kinda sad
Just the other night the baby was cryin’
So I got out of bed rocked her awhile
And I held her tight
And I told her it would be all right
And my mind went back to a few years ago
When we tried so long
We almost gave up hope
And I remember you
Comin' in and tellin’ me the news
Oh man we were livin’
Goin’ crazy in the kitchen
We danced and screamed and held each other tight
We laughed until we cried
In the first stanza of this song, Jason immediately shows us how he is happy. He starts to reminisce about old times that bring joy into his life. "I found an old yearbook, flipped right to the page of that senior trip." He then speaks about how he had so much fun on this trip and enjoyed life with all of his friends. Also, near the end of the song, he talks about his kids, and how he and his wife could not get pregnant and almost gave up hope in trying but the one day she came in to tell him the news, they were both very happy and extremely joyfull.

Friendship #2
I'm Only Me When I'm With You by: Taylor Swift
Friday night beneath the stars,
in a field behind your yard,
you and I are paintin` pictures in the sky.
And sometimes we don`t say a thing;
just listen to the crickets sing.
Everything I need is right here by my side.
And I know everything about you
I don`t wanna live without you.
[Chorus:]
I`m only up when you`re not down.
Don`t wanna fly if you`re still on the ground.
It`s like no matter what I do.
Well you drive me crazy half the time;
the other half I`m only trying to let you know that what I feel is true.
And I`m only me when I`m with you.
Just a small town boy and girl
livin` in a crazy world.
Tryin` to figure out what is and isn`t true.
And I don`t try to hide my tears.
The secrets or my deepest fears.
Through it all nobody gets me like you do.
And you know everything about me.
You say you can`t live without me.
[Chorus]
When I`m with anybody else it`s so hard to be myself.
Only you can tell.
[Chorus:]
That I`m only up when you`re not down.
Don`t wanna fly if you`re still on the ground.
It`s like no matter what I do.
Well you drive me crazy half the time;
the other half I`m only trying to let you know that what I feel is true.
And I`m only me
Who I wanna be
Well, I`m only me when I`m with you
With you
Uh huh
Yeah
In this song, Taylor sings about how she is not the same around anyone but her bestfriend. Examples of this are shown right in the chorus of the song. "I`m only up when you`re not down. Don`t wanna fly if you`re still on the ground.
It`s like no matter what I do. Well you drive me crazy half the time;
the other half I`m only trying to let you know that what I feel is true. And I`m only me when I`m with you." If you think about it, Taylor is basically saying how she is only happy when her friend is happy, she doesnt want to fly unless her friend is going to fly with her, even though you make me crazy most of the time, I only act myself around you.
Friday night beneath the stars,
in a field behind your yard,
you and I are paintin` pictures in the sky.
And sometimes we don`t say a thing;
just listen to the crickets sing.
Everything I need is right here by my side.
And I know everything about you
I don`t wanna live without you.
[Chorus:]
I`m only up when you`re not down.
Don`t wanna fly if you`re still on the ground.
It`s like no matter what I do.
Well you drive me crazy half the time;
the other half I`m only trying to let you know that what I feel is true.

The secrets or my deepest fears.
Through it all nobody gets me like you do.
And you know everything about me.
You say you can`t live without me.
[Chorus]
When I`m with anybody else it`s so hard to be myself.
Only you can tell.
[Chorus:]
That I`m only up when you`re not down.
Don`t wanna fly if you`re still on the ground.
It`s like no matter what I do.
Well you drive me crazy half the time;
the other half I`m only trying to let you know that what I feel is true.
And I`m only me
Who I wanna be
Well, I`m only me when I`m with you
With you
Uh huh
Yeah
In this song, Taylor sings about how she is not the same around anyone but her bestfriend. Examples of this are shown right in the chorus of the song. "I`m only up when you`re not down. Don`t wanna fly if you`re still on the ground.
It`s like no matter what I do. Well you drive me crazy half the time;
the other half I`m only trying to let you know that what I feel is true. And I`m only me when I`m with you." If you think about it, Taylor is basically saying how she is only happy when her friend is happy, she doesnt want to fly unless her friend is going to fly with her, even though you make me crazy most of the time, I only act myself around you.
