Music Analysis: Light Your Heart

     Can I first say how much I honestly love this song? 

     And probably more than that. 

     If you're wondering "What in the world is this thing you call 'music analysis'" let me explain. 

     So I was prodigiously cleaning out my closet one day (a three times a year task, it gets really messy) while listening to an audio drama of The Shadow of the Bear by Regina Doman, when I finished the audio drama. I was listening to it on FORMED, so I scrolled around instead of folding my shirts. Then I saw a podcast titled, Is God on Your iPod? 
It looked interesting, so I put it on. 

    Wow, it was really good. The speaker there said that "good" music is music that sounds good, and conveys a good message.

    So that, in a nutshell, is Music Analysis. I will pick out a random (not so random) song and see if it qualifies as a good song. I'm also doing this because some people (who go to the extreme) seem to think that if the music is classified as "pop" music, then it's 100% bad, which it isn't. There are plenty examples of wonder, uplifting, music that isn't Christian Contemporary. 

     Now, the song that we're going to look at is called Light Your Heart by Jorge Blanco. He sings it in a movie about Violetta. Very good movie (although they only have the English dub on Netflix 😑)

     Anywhosies.

     I got a pair of Bobs, they are sooooo comfortable. And that is totally not related :P

     So, this post is going to be divided into two parts. The first part will be shorter, as we will simply assess if it sounds good or not. Then, I'm going to post the lyrics, occasionally saying something in between a verse, and then give my thoughts on it. Finally, we shall see the verdict.

Does it sound good?

     Light Your Heart has a very good beat and tune. It's easily one of my favorite songs (a very rare thing, I'm VERY indecisive). 

Music Rating:

(*jazz hands*) 
Five Stars 

Do the lyrics convey a good message?

On the night street lights are gone

I'll be the sun so your dreams can run

Light your heart yeah, light your heart up

Light your heart yeah, light your heart up

When the waves go take you out

I'll be the sound that drowns the crowd

When you get yeah, when you get down

We're gonna sing sing sing

We got this fire in us that runs deeper than blood

So if you ever doubt, you should know by now

Whatever stars you're looking at tonight

On top of the world or alone inside

I'll always be there for you

I'll always be there for you

Whatever place no matter where you are

Even when life tries to take your spark

Nothing I wouldn't do

To light your heart

For you... for you

I'll light your heart

For you... for you

I'll light your heart

On the wire just holding on

I'll be the one when the walk is long

Till the dark yeah, till the dark falls

Till the dark yeah, till the dark falls

Fight for ya when you don't believe

Storm the kingdom and take the keys

Even when you can't see I'll light your heart

Whatever stars you're looking at tonight

On top of the world or alone inside

I'll always be there for you

I'll always be there for you

Whatever place no matter where you are

Even when life tries to take your spark

Nothing I wouldn't do

To light your heart

For you... for you

I'll light your heart

For you... for you

I'll light your heart

No matter what tomorrow brings,

We got each other through everything

No matter what tomorrow brings,

We got each other we sing, sing, sing

No matter what tomorrow brings,

We got each other through everything

No matter what tomorrow brings,

We got each other we sing, sing, sing

I'll always be there for you

I'll always be there for you

Whatever stars you're looking at tonight

On top of the world or alone inside

I'll always be there for you

I'll always be there for you

Whatever place no matter where you are

Even when life tries to take your spark

Nothing I wouldn't do

To light your heart

For you... for you

I'll light your heart

For you... for you

I'll light your heart

For you... for you

     So, my thoughts on it. 

     In the movie, Jorge Blanco plays León, the "love interest". So obviously this song is for her. But let's look at it not within the context of the movie. 

(this will probably be just a lot of rambling but bear with me)

     The main message of this song (at least from my vantage) is faithfulness. The statement "I'll always be there for you" is repeated 8 times throughout the song. And then the rest of the lyrics give the impression of faithfulness also. Especially this verse: 

No matter what tomorrow brings,

We got each other through everything

No matter what tomorrow brings,

We got each other we sing, sing, sing

     In fact, if you think about it, this song is about an ideal relationship. 

     It speaks (or sings) about helping each other out, even when the other person feels down, always being there for each other, fighting for one another, and always being there, no matter if you're, "On top of the world or alone inside".

Lyric rating:

So, what do I rate this song overall? Well, the music is great, the message the lyrics convey even better, so, I will rate this

I heartily recommend this. This is an example of good pop music.

And, for your conviniance, I will post a video of Light Your Heart. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

13 Reasons Why . . . You Should Watch Violetta

  
     Violetta is one of my favorite shows of all time (I will tell you that it is in Spanish). I won't explain the plot in this post (maybe in another one I will) because I want you to go watch it. It's really good (just please don't watch the English dub, watch it in Spanish with subtitles).
     It also has 3 seasons with 80 episodes in each season and each episode being like 45 minutes long (it took me almost six months to finish watching it all, but I did take a big break at one point), so it should last you a while. But not many people have seen it.
     So, here are

13 Reasons Why You Should Watch Violetta

1) It is very entertaining
     It really gets you hooked. You just want to see what is going to happen next. And, at the end of each episode, it has sorta like something that tells you what is going to happen in the next episode. Here's an example (it probably won't make sense to you guys since you don't know what happened before):

2) The actors are very talented
     About 95% of the acting is really good, and they all dance wonderfully and have amazing voices. 

3. The songs are really good
     They are. And they are catchy. This is one of the songs that the boy band sings. It's called Mi Princesa:

They even have some in English. Like this one called Underneath It All:

(More posts on this later)

4) It gets better as it goes on
     Okay, I will admit, that in the beginning, it's sorta meh. But, the acting gets A TON better by the time you finish the series. 

5) It teaches the consequences of lying
     As cheesy as it sounds, it does. It shows you that you can't lie and get away with it.

6) It shows that you have to live up to your actions
     The main character, Violetta, lies every now and then (and there is a fairly good reason for her doing it, she doesn't lie for no reason). But when she is discovered, she always lives up to her actions. She doesn't try to shirk from the consequences. 

7) It shows forgiveness
     Every time that someone messes up (like Violetta), they are forgiven. Because they are truly sorry.  And that really does happen in real life. After people see that you really are sorry, they do forgive you. 

8) It shows that you can complete your dreams if you work hard
     Which also happens in real life. The characters work really hard to become professional singers.

9) The cast isn't entirely bad looking
                           
C'mon. They are pretty good looking. Especially Leon. <3

10) It has romance that isn't baby-like but not too mature
      Violetta and Leon date throughout the series (with a few breakups) but there are other couples. And Violetta and Leon together make a perfect pair. 

                                                      Am I right, or am I right?

11) It's funny
     Especially Andres, who - let's just say - isn't exactly known for his brains xD

12) There is good character development
     The characters really grow and develop as the series goes on. And it's really noticeable. (More posts on this later) 

13) You get really attached to the characters. 
     You really do! They really grow on you.

     Now that I've finally found a place to let out all my pent in fangirling, PLEASE GO WATCH IT. You won't regret it! And, if you have seen it, do you agree with my points? Disagree? thought of any more?
