On a day like this, that heat
I feel like summer
She feel like summer
This feel like summer
I feel like summer

Seven billion souls that move around the sun
Rolling faster, faster and not a chance to slow down
Slow down
Men who made machines that want what they decide
Parents tryna tell their children please slow down
Slow down

I know
Oh, I know you know that pain
I'm hoping that this world will change
But it just seems the same
(It is not the same)

You can feel it in the streets
On a day like this, that heat
It feels like summer
(I feel like summer)
I feel like summer
(I feel like summer)
I feel like summer

Every day gets hotter than the one before
Running out of water, it's about to go down
Go down
Air that kill the bees, that we depend upon
Birds were made for singing, waking up to no sound
No sound

I know
I know you know my pain
I'm hoping that this world will change
But it just seems the same
I know
Oh, I hope we change
I really thought this world will change
But it seems like the same
I know
Oh, my mind is still the same
I'm hoping that this world will change
But it just seems the same
I know
Oh, I hope we change...]]> 2018-12-19 14:59:02 UTC https://padlet.com/325436/raxg42b0x997/wish/315883687 325436 https://padlet.com/325436/raxg42b0x997/wish/315886915 In the song "Feels Like Summer" by Childish Gambino discusses different scenarios of what celebrities in the music industry and others are going through. The video is in animation form and shows a animated form of Childish Gambino walking through a suburban neighborhood, presumably in California, with earbuds in, watching everything unfold as different music celebrities embark in different activities. ]]> 2018-12-19 15:05:23 UTC https://padlet.com/325436/raxg42b0x997/wish/315886915 325436 https://padlet.com/325436/raxg42b0x997/wish/316414312 Childish Gambino uses pathos and ethos in the song "Feels Like Summer" to portray different celebrity cameos and what each of them mean. Some have a brief meaning of what they are going through in their lives. This is shown through imagery and symbols throughout the video. The video and the song somewhat line up but both may have a different meaning. ]]> 2018-12-21 15:18:30 UTC https://padlet.com/325436/raxg42b0x997/wish/316414312 325436 https://padlet.com/325436/raxg42b0x997/wish/317716171 Throughout the song and video Childish Gambino uses many examples to get a point across, he uses pathos and ethos to share this. The lyrics address more of a ethos view, and the video more of a pathos.
Pathos-  "Men who made machines that want what they decide". This lyric symbolizes how people are turning free thinking individuals into people who are programmed to a system of society. An example would be any celebrity who has to keep up with a quota to please people, and if they don't, their careers, and/or lives could be in jeopardy. After that lyric Gambino says; "parents tryna tell their children please slow down". This could mean parents don't want their kids to rush children hood and become adults so fast. This could also be a reference to some popular singers and rappers who became famous at a very young age and were not able to enjoy being a kid as they had to live much different lives than an average kid. ]]> 2019-01-07 01:12:05 UTC https://padlet.com/325436/raxg42b0x997/wish/317716171 325436 https://padlet.com/325436/raxg42b0x997/wish/317719692 Logos-  The beginning chorus defines the theme and topic about the message in this song. "You can feel it in the streets. On a day like this, that heat. I feel like summer. She feel like summer. This feel like summer. I feel like summer". These lyrics subtly talk about current day issues that happen today, such as climate change, and how many animals are going extinct because of it. Also the lack of fresh water in some parts of the world is another reference. the "summer" theme and warm temperatures are subject to the theme of the events. "You can feel it in the streets" might be reference to an increase in crime that happen in the summer. This may be due to people leaving homes more often in the summer. "Oh, I know you know that pain, i'm hoping that the world will change" meaning that these issues are so big that people have trouble grasping the idea of how this could keep growing into a much bigger problem. Gambino then says "but it just seems the same, (it is not the same)" meaning that people are not paying attention to the issues as if "its just the same" and nothing will ever change, even though eventually it will become a large issue. In verse 2, Gambino addresses more modern day issues. "Ever day gets hotter than the one before" referencing global warming and how summer days, especially in California, are getting warmer then the past. The next line says; "Running out of water, its about to go down. Go Down". This is addressing the issue of places running out of clean fresh water. Most likely to drought or just general water shortages in certain parts of the world. "Air that kill the bees that we depend on" addressing the endangerment of the bee population and how this will affect the human population because we depend on them to pollinate most of our crops. "Birds were made for singing, waking up to no sound. No Sound" addressing the decrease in species of birds. Going back to the beginning verse, "seven billion souls that move around the sun, rolling faster, faster not a chance to slow down. Slow down". This could be mentioning the sharp population increase in the world and how we cannot keep up with the rapid increase.]]> 2019-01-07 01:54:45 UTC https://padlet.com/325436/raxg42b0x997/wish/317719692 325436 https://padlet.com/325436/raxg42b0x997/wish/317723901 2019-01-07 02:42:25 UTC https://padlet.com/325436/raxg42b0x997/wish/317723901 325436 https://padlet.com/325436/raxg42b0x997/wish/317724258 2019-01-07 02:48:13 UTC https://padlet.com/325436/raxg42b0x997/wish/317724258 325436 https://padlet.com/325436/raxg42b0x997/wish/318130315 2019-01-08 00:17:43 UTC https://padlet.com/325436/raxg42b0x997/wish/318130315 325436 https://padlet.com/325436/raxg42b0x997/wish/318131969 The song "Feels Like Summer" by Childish Gambino is effective at portraying its points and purposes throughout the song and the video. The video and the song make it somewhat hard to interpret what it actually means. Donald Glover does not ever give an explanation for either. So it leads to the viewer and the listener to come up with their own interpretation of the video and song. For my interpretation, the song is talking about current modern day issues, and the video is showing how the current day music industry and other celebrities are currently doing. The video does a great job at showing tone with the warm colors that give off a "summer" feel. The song is sang as if Childish Gambino is telling someone to do something, which means he wants his certain points to be remembered by the listener and make a change.]]> 2019-01-08 00:31:32 UTC https://padlet.com/325436/raxg42b0x997/wish/318131969 325436 https://padlet.com/325436/raxg42b0x997/wish/318135027 “Childish Gambino – Feels Like Summer.” Genius, Genius Media Group Inc., 11 July 2018, genius.com/Childish-gambino-feels-like-summer-lyrics.
