Song Reflection

Since I was completely out of ideas and had no clue what to pick I just decided to do "Umbrella" by: Rihanna. Although Rihanna is not my first choice in music, she is still a well rounded, accomplished musician and I enjoy her work. In her song "Umbrella" Rihanna makes rhythmic connections to rain and the sky in anticipation for the chorus and using these connections as hypothetical symbols for her and a person (Jay-Z) or for Jay Z to Rihanna. The lyrics corresponding to this technique are- "you know me, in anticipation for precipitation" "Stack chips for the rainy day" "because when the sun shines, we'll shine together" "Now that its raining more than ever, know that we still have each other, you can stand under my umbrella."

These techniques were used in perfect sequence. They didn't follow each other and cause the poem to sound repetitive. Nor were they too far apart that the listener lost track of the picture and the meaning of the lyrics.  Seeing the wording and effort put into the sentence fluency and organization of this song allows the fans to have a greater appreciation for the artist. This shows that when used properly the effects of these techniques result in a very well-balanced, noteworthy song that has and is sure to attract more fans.
