Thanks for sharing this song with us today, Ethan.
Overall, the message of the song reflected through the symbolism of the sunrise provides an optimistic outlook on life even during the darkest of times. It is a reminder that a new day is on the horizon.

The song is constructed like a typical song but the message remains with good intentions. The one line that resonates with me is "You feel like your stuck all alone in this hole" (or to some effect of that nature) because you are never alone. Everything you experience, someone else has gone through and you need to seek supplemental resources to get through the tough times.

This song brings a message of creating a difference in the world and not stopping until it is made. The sunrise is very important as a symbol of meaning and happiness in life.

I feel like the simplistic video did a good job capturing the meaning of the song, reminding us to find the little things in life we enjoy when times are hard.

This song reminds us that even though we all go through hard times and deal with struggles, the sun will always rise. In other words, the pain will ease, and life will be better. This style of music also makes me think about the music that I used to listen to. Specifically, I'm reminded of my emo phase, which was a personal "night." Thank god the sun rose and I'm not an edgy little weirdo anymore.

This song starts off pretty sad, but sort of like a sunrise or new beginning, it has a happier message towards the end. It's about making it through and not stopping until a difference is made. The sunrise acts as a symbol for a new day, or a new beginning. Overall, it's about making it through the hard times to happier ones.

I guess the message of this song is that you can make it to the sunrise. No matter what's happening today, you can make it to tomorrow because there is hope and promise for a better life in the future.

The title of the song is reflective of the message. For a long time, sunrises have been symbols of hope and opportunity. The message of this song is that you are not along, and that there is always another day. I think the songwriting was kind of lazy. I really don't like the line "  I won't go to my grave until a difference is made" because it is so passive, and they were just trying to rhyme.

The purpose of the song is very obvious and bold: do not give up and let yourself feel down when something goes wrong, "you can make it to the sunrise" or get out of that pattern of negative thinking. Always look forward and do not look back. Things will happen that you do no expect, but it is in your power to keep moving forward.

The beginning of this song sets a really sad tone. It's a bit strange though because although the idea is that you can make it out of hard times the lyrics near the end didn't reflect that very well. I definitely did not expect this song from Ethan so it was a surprising choice.

I really hate the cinematic aspects of this music video. The title is literally sunrise so it makes sense to have the sun in the back but it creates really harsh, distracting shadows over all the musicians' faces. It would have made more sense to use side lighting or even utilizing the light from the front. It would still give the warm feeling of a sunrise but it would actually look good. The contrast between the bright sky and the people really annoys me. That being said its an okay song, but i was so distracted I didn't even get to listen to most of the lyrics. Also, how did they get a piano in the middle of a beach, isn't it hard to roll it around on the sand? ALSO I feel like the video was filmed at sunset instead of sunrise. Like, would the musicians and video people really want to get everything ready in the middle of the night when its dark and probably cold, considering its a beach, just so they can use a real sunrise as their bad background? That would really make me angry.

The song is terribly depressing. Rather than emphasizing the importance of persistence and progress, the song parses through each major cause of conflict, depression, anxiety, sadness, and loss. I personally felt reminded of the loss and failure of my past rather than hope for the future. The song uses negative words (i.e. "I won't go to my grave...") and a unique "plot" to come to the conclusion that LIFE should be ENDURED not ENJOYED. I may be incorrect in my interpretation, but this song reminded me of the pain and hurt of the past and the negative expectations for the future one may hold, looking forward to the end or conclusion of life to improve it for the next unfortunate soul. If the song had a different tone, different word choice, etc., its meaning may be more inspirational.

This song states that when you feel alone in some kind of state of unhappiness, there are usually others who feel/ have felt the same way...so you should stick it out.

Although this is not music I would listen to myself, I think it is interesting that no matter the genre, many songs have similar meanings. This one in particular is important because it focuses firstly on hope for the future and second on making beneficial changes, both of which are necessary for a sense of satisfaction and success in life.

I chose this song because I think the meaning is important to think about,  and it is able to be related to any situation in our lives. While a person is in a tough situation or struggling with something, there is always a sense of restored hope in each new day.

This song references the hardships and struggles that people deal with everyday and that it's important to remember it gets better. Always have a sense of hope instead of focusing on the negative.

Somehow, this song managed to capture the essence of the quintessential, angsty, early 2010's emo song, and I'm not sure how to feel about it. Personally, I don't like to listen to sad or extremely emotional songs because I find that they reflect onto my mood. But I see how this song can be helpful for people who don't enjoy life and feel like their lives have no meaning.

This is a very beautiful and inspirational song. It's important for people to know that, even in their darkest times, there is still hope. At some point, everyone feels like they have neither hope nor future, and I think this song is a beautiful way to highlight that that line of thinking simply isn't true. Before an arrow flies forward, it needs to be pulled back.

I really like the line "You can make it to the sunrise." It's a great reminder that even though life is tough, we always have the strength and ability to make it through the day. There are times when we feel like we can't go on, but this song speaks about having hope to make it through.

This song has a good message that even when times seem really dark, the sun will always rise and things will get better. However I think it focuses too much on the bad side and all the sadness.

"I won't go to my grave until a difference is made." I think this relates to the Dickinson quote that we responded to earlier this week. It is showing their determination to change the world for the better. I think this acoustic was beautiful, it the crescendo to the end was very inspirational. It had the effect of silence, as people just took in the message of the song. I think the song was written to support people who are struggling with any personal issue.
