It was when American writers started to create their own culture by using nature and human nature in their writings. It deeply analyzes the human mind, and the natural, spiritual, and material world. These songs reflect the tenets of the three branches of Romanticism in modern-day times.]]> 2020-11-16 23:02:03 UTC https://padlet.com/23jaiswal_saanya/5nac5ox4io7ao6kh/wish/929594771 Transcendentalism 23jaiswal_saanya https://padlet.com/23jaiswal_saanya/5nac5ox4io7ao6kh/wish/929602114 Transcendentalism, the last branch of the romantic era, reflects traits such as living life to the fullest, being your own person, and not worshipping the material. This song by One Republic, Counting Stars, exhibits some of those traits in its lyrics.]]> 2020-11-16 23:06:11 UTC https://padlet.com/23jaiswal_saanya/5nac5ox4io7ao6kh/wish/929602114 Counting Stars 23jaiswal_saanya https://padlet.com/23jaiswal_saanya/5nac5ox4io7ao6kh/wish/929681497 2020-11-16 23:52:14 UTC https://padlet.com/23jaiswal_saanya/5nac5ox4io7ao6kh/wish/929681497 Lyrics 23jaiswal_saanya https://padlet.com/23jaiswal_saanya/5nac5ox4io7ao6kh/wish/929682311 Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars
Yeah, we'll be counting stars

[Verse 1]
I see this life, like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
And in my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and ye' shall find
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
On just doing what we're told

[Pre-Chorus]
I feel something so right doing the wrong thing
I feel something so wrong doing the right thing
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive]]> 2020-11-16 23:52:44 UTC https://padlet.com/23jaiswal_saanya/5nac5ox4io7ao6kh/wish/929682311 Significance of Lyrics 23jaiswal_saanya https://padlet.com/23jaiswal_saanya/5nac5ox4io7ao6kh/wish/929685509 The lyrics highlighted to the right show some connections between this song and the traits of transcendentalism. In the first highlighted phrase, the singer implies that he is detaching from the material and spending more time observing the world around him. This is a key tenet in transcendentalism. The second highlighted part implies that he is living life to the fullest, and not conforming to what the general population thinks is bad for him. This reflects living life to the fullest, and not conforming to the crowd.]]> 2020-11-16 23:54:46 UTC https://padlet.com/23jaiswal_saanya/5nac5ox4io7ao6kh/wish/929685509 Doin' Time by Lana Del Ray 23jaiswal_saanya https://padlet.com/23jaiswal_saanya/5nac5ox4io7ao6kh/wish/929803986 2020-11-17 00:59:59 UTC https://padlet.com/23jaiswal_saanya/5nac5ox4io7ao6kh/wish/929803986 The Gothics/Dark Romantics 23jaiswal_saanya https://padlet.com/23jaiswal_saanya/5nac5ox4io7ao6kh/wish/932491927 The Gothics and Dark Romantics reflect completely different elements from the other branches of romanticism. Writings from this branch include wild and haunted landscapes, a derangement of the psyche, and the fact that everyone is born with original sin. This song, Doin' Time, reflects these traits.]]> 2020-11-17 16:19:12 UTC https://padlet.com/23jaiswal_saanya/5nac5ox4io7ao6kh/wish/932491927 Lyrics 23jaiswal_saanya https://padlet.com/23jaiswal_saanya/5nac5ox4io7ao6kh/wish/933305388 Me and my girl, we got this relationship
I love her so bad, but she treats me like ****
On lockdown, like a penitentiary
She spreads her lovin' all over
And when she gets home, there's none left for me
Summertime, and the livin's easy
Bradley's on the microphone with Ras MG
All the people in the dance will agree
That we're well-qualified to represent the L.B.C
Me, me and Louie, we gonna run to the party
And dance to the rhythm, it gets harder
(Harder, yeah, harder, yeah)
Oh, take this veil from off my eyes
My burning sun will, some day, rise
So, what am I gonna be doin' for a while?
Said, I'm gonna play with myself
Show them, now, we've come off the shelf
...
Evil, I've come to tell you that she's evil, most definitely
Evil, ornery, scandalous and evil, most definitely
The tension, it's getting hotter
I'd like to hold her head underwater

He also explains her other relationships in the later lines. This relates to the fact that everyone is born with sin, and how she has moral problems. The last highlighted section shows the singer's slow and violent change in mindset. The lyrics show how he is having violent thoughts about his partner, while at the beginning of the song, it simply seemed like complaining. The shows a derangement of the psyche, and how he slowly devolves.]]> 2020-11-17 18:40:58 UTC https://padlet.com/23jaiswal_saanya/5nac5ox4io7ao6kh/wish/933322430 True Romantics 23jaiswal_saanya https://padlet.com/23jaiswal_saanya/5nac5ox4io7ao6kh/wish/933363913 The fundamental elements of the True Romantics include the importance of nature and intuition. This song, "Lost in Japan" by Shawn Mendes ,reflects some of those ideals in its lyrics. ]]> 2020-11-17 18:48:11 UTC https://padlet.com/23jaiswal_saanya/5nac5ox4io7ao6kh/wish/933363913 Lost In Japan by Shawn Mendes 23jaiswal_saanya https://padlet.com/23jaiswal_saanya/5nac5ox4io7ao6kh/wish/937028550 2020-11-18 15:05:01 UTC https://padlet.com/23jaiswal_saanya/5nac5ox4io7ao6kh/wish/937028550 Lyrics 23jaiswal_saanya https://padlet.com/23jaiswal_saanya/5nac5ox4io7ao6kh/wish/937041353 All it'd take is one flight
We'd be in the same time zone
Looking through your timeline
Seeing all the rainbows, I
I got an idea
And I know that it sounds crazy
I just wanna see ya
Oh, I gotta ask
Do you got plans tonight?
I'm a couple hundred miles from Japan, and I
I was thinkin' I could fly to your hotel tonight
'Cause I can't get you off my mind
Can't get you off my mind
Can't get you off my mind (uh)
I could feel the tension
We could cut it with a knife
I know it's more than just a friendship
I can hear you think I'm right, yeah
Do I gotta convince you
That you shouldn't fall asleep?
It'll only be a couple hours
And I'm about to leave

By "rainbows," he could be talking about the various cherry blossoms and natural elements in Japan. The singer later talks about how he has the sudden idea of how he wants to visit this girl, even though he is somewhat far away. The lyrics make it seem like his intuition was to spend time with this girl, and he followed his gut to do it.]]> 2020-11-18 15:09:13 UTC https://padlet.com/23jaiswal_saanya/5nac5ox4io7ao6kh/wish/937053017
