What was I here for?
Oh yeah... I was going to blog about something. Then again, I wanted to blog about a lot of things for the past couple of weeks... and yet, I didn't do it.
Maybe tomorrow.
Just kidding. I'll share my "art project" for world literature! For the Shakespeare unit, my class read Hamlet. What I don't understand is how my peers don't understand the play. Granted, it's rather confusing and twisty turvy, but the teacher honestly tells us exactly what happens and explains all the little details. Just pay attention a little and maybe you would have gotten something.
But anyway...
For the art project, I had to cleverly combine two themes from Hamlet, all the while not making it too obvious of what the entire piece means. I suppose that's what art does, doesn't it? Every element could mean different things. If you've never read Hamlet, I guess you wouldn't be able to point out all the little different things I incorporated into the song I wrote for the project.
And here it be:
Verse
1
Son
to Father
Father
to Son
Blood
truly does connect them
But
family doesn’t always make them one
‘cause
it caused them to tear apart
And
become trapped in separate worlds
Crying
out to the heavens
Let
our proof of love start to unfurl
Chorus
They
took them down
Those
who seemed truly close to them
Turned
their lives around
With
deception masking the truth
With
choices more foolish than the youth
A
blade of honor that was sharpened dull
All
their weapons of betrayal
Verse
2
One
left to fight the war
The
other can’t even defend
But
love goes further than relations
At
arms with him fights a faithful friend
They
stand together
A
wall strong as diamond
Waiting
until the perfect time
Only
striking at the very end
Chorus
Bridge
When
they finally made their attack
There
was no way for them to go back
Their
choice was wholeheartedly made
Their
loyalty would not ever fade
They
took them down
Those
who seemed truly close to them
Turned
their lives around
With
dedication strong with love
With
anger that is deep enough
To
blacken the very soul
And
the kind that keeps one loyal
I would be entirely impressed if you could figure out what was going on in my head while writing this. It took me awhile to even figure it out myself... HAHAHA.
Anyway, I've figured out chords and a melody, it's just too late at night for me to record it without getting into any trouble with the parents.
Maybe tomorrow.
My inflammation of the senior is causing severe laziness, and any medication taken for it is causing side-affects that only worsen it.
