Saught out from Liverpool, England in 1960, four men built their reputation through a new type of psychedelic rock/pop movement. Throughout theircareer, Elvis Presley, Little Richard and Chuck Berry were just some of their early influences, whose songs they covered more often than any other artist's in performances. In their album, Sgt. Pepper's Lonley Hearts Club Band of 1967, the song, Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds was released. The Beatles exploit the use of imagery providentially throughout the song.<br /> The first verse starts with the line, "Picture yourself on a boat in a river with tangerine trees and marmalade skies." Here, Lennon and McCartney are actually <em>telling</em> the listeners to imagine what they are seeing. The Beatles actually allude to the definition of imagery here. The third line, that starts off with the lyrics, "Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly a girl with kaleidoscope eyes," tells you not only what you see, but what you hear as well. This depiction of sound reveals The Beatles' use of a variety of imagery.<br /> Some of the lyrics The Beatles sing arn't quite as easy to picture like the rest. As the song continues, some of the lyrics make it seem that Lennon and McCartney try too hard to portray imagery. When listening to the song, at some points you don't necessarilly know what to think of the lyrics. The line, "With plasticine porters with looking glass ties suddenly someone is there at the turnstile," has the potential to create a cluster of nonsense images that do not make sense.</span>mollymhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15798314427340031776noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7524363567842925632.post-36871222792091479422010-03-29T18:13:00.000-07:002010-03-29T18:21:01.843-07:00summer of '08Across the field with cups of butter<br />Next to the music filled sky<br />That's where we'd go every summer<br />And we still hold the memories that passed us bye<br /><br />Where we are now, is getting hotter<br />Behind the yellow tree bark<br />So we break the glass on top of the water<br />All the way into the nightly dark<br /><br />But first, when the sky has paint spilt all over<br />That's when you hear the most beautiful sounds<br />That we drink to untill were sober<br />With our faces stuck with an upside-down frownmollymhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15798314427340031776noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7524363567842925632.post-45707431894501058982010-03-09T14:41:00.000-08:002010-03-11T13:54:01.244-08:00Theme/Genre Decloration<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I chose Imagery in Rock as my Theme/Genre. The reason for my choice of genre is because I really like rock music. When I started to think of what to do for a theme/genre I first chose inspiration but didn't know what genre would best fit. I looked into rock music and then I remembered The Beatles. I love most of The Beatles songs and I knew that I wanted to pick something that could include The Beatles. I looked over most of their lyrics and thought imagery would be best. I wanted to do something different for the genre like imagery in 60's music but thought I would have a more variety and more knowledge of the genre by choosing Rock.</span>mollymhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15798314427340031776noreply@blogger.com0
