https://padlet.com/mrkohut/kejvpbflakwnagbf1617312911 A reflection on the Everything Now song and the Happiness Rats en-us 2021-01-22 18:27:14 UTC 2021-04-01 21:35:13 UTC hello@padlet.com mrkohut https://padlet.com/mrkohut/kejvpbflakwnagbf1617312911/wish/1115325747 Look at these lyrics in the song "Everything Now" What are they saying about the meaning and ton e of the entire song? Daddy, how come you're never around?
 I miss you, like everything now
 Mama, leave the food on the stove
 Leave your car in the middle of the road
 This happy family with everything now
 We turn the speakers up till they break
 'Cause every time you smile it's a fake!]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/kejvpbflakwnagbf1617312911/wish/1115325747 mrkohut https://padlet.com/mrkohut/kejvpbflakwnagbf1617312911/wish/1115325751 What strikes you the most in the "Happiness" (rat race) video? ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/kejvpbflakwnagbf1617312911/wish/1115325751 mrkohut https://padlet.com/mrkohut/kejvpbflakwnagbf1617312911/wish/1115325755 What do you think the connection is between the song and the video we listened to and watched today? How do you think these connect to what we talked about last week with advertising and happiness? ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/kejvpbflakwnagbf1617312911/wish/1115325755 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/kejvpbflakwnagbf1617312911/wish/1115325760 1 ) They're talking about their family.

I think the person in the song thinks they have everything to make them happy, but their family isn't around and they are angry and trying to fake happiness for the people around them.

And how they fake the happiness.

It's like you're trapped in a mindset where you are always wanting something, but never feeling satisfied after getting it.]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/kejvpbflakwnagbf1617312911/wish/1115325786 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/kejvpbflakwnagbf1617312911/wish/1115325795 1.) The lyrics are talking about how he wants everything but he misses things and he needs to be happy and put on a fake smile
2.) What strikes me the most is how happy they are to do certain things and then how their happiness can go away very quick. 
3.) I think the connection between the song and the video is that they both show how you get very when doing different things and you happiness can go away quick after you have nothing to do anymore. This connects to the advertisements we did last week because the advertisement are putting a smile on peoples face and making the product seem like they will make you very happy but in reality it will only make you happy for a short time. ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/kejvpbflakwnagbf1617312911/wish/1115325795 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/kejvpbflakwnagbf1617312911/wish/1115325802 1) The lyrics are saying that he misses his family and want to see them badly.
2) The rat video showed that people often are easily persuaded into liking the newest and greatest thing

2)What strikes me the most in the rat race video is that the rat never found true happiness he only had it for a moment.
3)The connection between the video and the song is that in each one it explains that money and objects can't give you happiness.]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/kejvpbflakwnagbf1617312911/wish/1115325811 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/kejvpbflakwnagbf1617312911/wish/1115325815 1) The song is about how having everything does not make you happy]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/kejvpbflakwnagbf1617312911/wish/1115325815 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/kejvpbflakwnagbf1617312911/wish/1115325821 1) It says that they should be happy and they also miss each other and how he has everything that they need.
2. It strikes me most by what the rat does to find happiness, he will do anything but he ends up not being happy and he works.
3. The connection is people will do anything for happiness even though happiness is right in front of them and the things they have. Because in the song he basically says your happiness is fake and the rat tries to find happiness so they both are trying to find happiness.

2. What strikes me the most is that you won't be happy forever with stuff you don't need. Not everything will last forever to you have to make the best out of what you have right now.
3. I think the connection is that to live your life to the fullest. They connect to last week because the video showed that the ads showed people being happy but it's only for a short time and doesn't last forever.]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/kejvpbflakwnagbf1617312911/wish/1115325856 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/kejvpbflakwnagbf1617312911/wish/1115325863 The lyrics in this song are about how he thought he had everything but realizes that he doesn't even though he spent so long chasing after it.

The lyrics is about how he has to hide his happiness in order to keep everyone else happy.
2.) The rat thought that he had happiness but he only had for a short period of time.
3.) They connect by         ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/kejvpbflakwnagbf1617312911/wish/1115325872 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/kejvpbflakwnagbf1617312911/wish/1115325882 1)This song is very powerful and it has so many meanings behind it. One way it stood out to me is the last part to a verse where it explains faking a smile. Some might say "fake it until you make it" but when it comes to happiness,  that's not how it works. Happiness comes from the things that you love and love to do. And being with the people you love.
2) What struck me in this video was how the rats always try to fight for the sight of happiness but then they realize that it just bought them nothing. They kept falling for the trap of advertising. 
3) The connection between both of them is that they both demonstrate how they think that they work so hard to get the things that they love but really they show how there is more to happiness then money.

The singer talks about how things are different now that his father isn't around as much. It makes it harder for them to be an actual family and how it's hard for his mother to manage the family alone. ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/kejvpbflakwnagbf1617312911/wish/1115325889 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/kejvpbflakwnagbf1617312911/wish/1115325894 2.)
I noticed how in the rat race video the rat is constantly trying different things to make him happy, and they work momentarily, and then his happiness plummets back down, this is represented in the music and also how he falls multiple time after coming down from false happiness. ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/kejvpbflakwnagbf1617312911/wish/1115325894 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/kejvpbflakwnagbf1617312911/wish/1115325899 3.) Both the song and the video describe false happiness. The singer says multiple times, "Cause' every time you smile it's a fake". This describes how sometimes we think what we have is happiness when we deep down aren't happy. It shows this in the rat video after the rat takes "Happiness pills" and becomes cartoony and everything is warm and happy. Momentarily. After about 15 seconds our little rat friend plummets out from the sky back to the real world.]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/kejvpbflakwnagbf1617312911/wish/1115325899 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/kejvpbflakwnagbf1617312911/wish/1115325907 2) i think personally that video was really funny but people like to chase happiness despite in not being something you can buy but something you acheive.

I think that he tried to buy things to make him happy. He found new and better things thinking that it would make him happier but it didn't.
3. Both of the videos want to have happiness and they both didn't end of with it.]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/kejvpbflakwnagbf1617312911/wish/1115325927 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/kejvpbflakwnagbf1617312911/wish/1115325933 2)
All of the happiness that was shown in the video was only temporary and then the rat was brought back to reality. Happiness needs to be found within you not from objects or ideas]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/kejvpbflakwnagbf1617312911/wish/1115325933 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/kejvpbflakwnagbf1617312911/wish/1115325938 What struck me about the video was the part with the black friday store because this is something that actually happens with humans every year, fighting for material goods on sale that they think the new product and feeling of getting a good deal will satisfy them, when it wont.

I believe a connection between the song and the video we watched was that both talked or showed someone perseuing happiness, when really they were temporary staving off sadness, and just made things worse when the happiness wears off, the happiness wasn't real happiness, justlike the line in the song when we heard the person asking why are you always wearing a fake smile. ]]> 2021-01-22 18:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mrkohut/kejvpbflakwnagbf1617312911/wish/1115326013 https://padlet.com/mrkohut/kejvpbflakwnagbf1617312911/wish/1115326016 3) The video and song are easily connected because the lyrics are explaining the feeling of fake happiness.
