Yes, Justin Bieber’s voice sounds like a girl, but that doesn’t mean he is a bad singer. I personally don’t like his songs (mostly because I don’t usually like R&B or Hip Hop), but hey, the kid has a lot of talent. When was the last time a sixteen year old singer has teamed up with Ludacris? Either Ludacris thought he was so great that he agreed to collaborate on the song Baby with him, or they paid him… a lot.
You have to admit, Bieber is very talented to go from being a nobody on youtube to a popular star. I don’t care if people make fun of him, but you have to show some respect. Hes popular, he probably makes loads of money, he has stylish hair (not as stylish as my curls), and girls go crazy for him. There is no reason for people to be making fun of him or calling him inappropriate and names. The point is, Bieber is a talented singer… no matter how girly his voice sounds.
Betrayal is something that nearly everyone has suffered from. It hurts, sometimes physically but always emotionally. Some say being able to betray is a skill one has to acquire, but in reality, anyone can do it. I’m sure nearly everyone has been betrayed before. You don’t really know what emotion to feel. Animosity or grief? Who is to blame? The one who betrayed, or you for giving them your trust? It’s all just one giant mess. Now here is a song about betraying. You’re Gonna Go far, Kid by The Offspring. Enjoy.
Peace Sells by Megadeth is an esoteric song with a handful of meanings, but I will write about the most popular meaning, which is about the stereotypes that “metal-heads” (people who listen to heavy metal and thrash metal) face from American society. According to the song, metal-heads don’t believe in God, they don’t support the “American system”, they don’t pay their bills, and more. Dave Mustaine, lead singer of Megadeth and has a cool last name, was most likely fed up with all these negative stereotypes that he wrote this song to prove them wrong. Here are some lyrics:
“What do you mean, “I don’t believe in God”?
I talk to him every day.”
Here he says that he does believe in God.
“What do you mean, “I don’t support your system”?
I go to court when I have to.”
He goes to court to participate in jury duty.
“What do you mean, “I can’t get to work on time”?
I got nothing better to do.”
He gets to work on time because he has nothing better to do.
“And, what do you mean, “I don’t pay my bills”?
Why do you think I’m broke? Huh?”
He pays his bills and that’s why he is broke.
“What do you mean, “I couldn’t be president, of the United States of America”?
Tell me something, it’s still “We the people”, right?”
Dave says that anyone, even he can be president because it’s “We the people.”
Another meaning of the song comes from the 2nd half of the song (minute 2:16 and forward in the video) with two famous Megadeth quotes, “Can you put a price on peace?” and “Peace sells…, but who’s buying?” It’s self-explanatory.
I love the drum beats starting at 3:00 and forward. The double bass pedals thunder through the rest of the song while the guitar solo screeches loud and proud. Dave’s voice fits perfectly with the song as it transforms from what sounds like speaking to yelling. Perfect heavy metal song. Kudos to Megadeth.
