The Song that I like

Music happens to be one of the most powerful and important things in life. Life would feel totally empty without harmonies and melodies. Playing and listening to different melodies aids to relax, de-stress and can be a motivation in hard times. I like listening to songs since they are like the memoirs to my life as it has been in existence throughout everything with me. In this paper, I will talk about the song that I like most and the reason why I like that particular song. It contains the explanations of the lyrics and music, a description of what the video adds to my appreciation of the music, and an explanation of the song craft and what works for the artist.

One of the songs that I like most is called Shape of you by Ed Sheeran. It has topped a lot of charts and been pushed around as a single song. It is a unique song majorly because of its island instrumentation and style beat. The lyrics appear exceptional for Ed Sheeran’s melodies. In the song, Ed Sheeran designates an affiliation that starts at a bar and swiftly leads to a bedroom. In a short time, the two individuals are courting; the man’s impetuosity and the woman’s body bring them together. In the song, Ed Sheeran shows how sexual fascination can result in a deeper affiliation but does not explore that; furthermore, choosing to center on sexual attraction, which is the leading theme of the song. The lyrics go additionally into the sexual attraction that is there among the two lovers and how fascinated the songster is by the appearance and features of the female singing to. The ‘Shape of you’ song follows a pop arrangement stereotype. It is composed and structured in verse, pre-chorus, chorus, verse, pre-chorus, chorus, bridge, and chorus again. This specific organization is recognized as pop melody and exists in numerous songs.

Even though the Shape of you song is a pop song, it is also fused with dancehall beats in addition to tropical house sensation and beats to it. It has significant acoustics that is clear, and the thrumming is audible and clear all the way through the song. Furthermore, through the song’s progression, Ed Sheeran chants over a marimba beat that runs for the whole melody and is similarly the initial beat that plays solo for the initial few seconds of the song. The structure of the song has a gradual tempo from the commencement as it proceeds. It starts with the marimba, then by toms, and eventually followed by an acoustic guitar nearly immediately. Prior to the chorus, there is a break which is followed by a stimulating drop whereby the bass drum then joins in.

Ed Sheeran is deliberately playing with tradition by the combination into the song an island-style beat in this music. He relies on tradition as well as the song. The state where Ed Sheeran mainly relies on tradition is the arrangement of the genre in terms of the insertion of the chorus, verses, and bridge of the song. The recording of ‘Shape of you’ music is three minutes and fifty-three long. It has some pitch corrections combined with it. On the other hand, it has a slightly moderate tempo, and for that reason, very little pitch correction was required to make changes to the song.

In ‘Shape of you’ song, the pitch correction has been used on the chorus to make it sound as if Ed Sheeran had backup singers assisting him. The field modification is initially overheard in the song where he chants, “Say, boy, let’s not talk too much, Grab on my waist and put that body on me Come on now, follow my lead, Come, come on now, follow my lead” (Ed Sheeran). However, the pitch modification in it does not change the flow, the tempo, and the vocals’ progression but slightly fusions in well, contributing to an imposing sensation to the song’s chorus. From hearing the music, one notices that the pitch correction has also improved the extent of harmony to the song. The structure of the lyrics of the Shape of you is pretty much a stereotype of the majority of the pop melodies sung by other artists, in addition to those previously done by Ed Sheeran himself on his preceding tunes.

In the song, the vocal lines bounce against the beat, adding more rhythm to it. In the music video, Ed Sheeran does boxing, and he aids it to be more energetic. He also commences in a club where each person is dancing, then proceeds to boxing and training. The music video of the song jumps forth between fights, working out, and boxing. It helps by keeping once more the listeners and the watchers on their feet. It also assists by making it more optimistic, and the listeners want to desire it. The Shape of you needs one of the best songs that I like.
