Modern Song Ballad
By: Bradd Mejorada
IntroductionIn one of Stevie Wonder’s songs he says, “Music is a world within itself with a language we all understand.” From that line, it shows that not only poetry can influence others, so does music in a way that people can feel and understand easily with its depth, inspirational language. Artists like OneRepublic have made that affect with their style of music and language towards audiences from all over the world.
“Life in Color”
I do my bestTo find some kind of glowI'm giving it some heart and soul, nowFrom the darkest graysThe sun bursts, clouds breakYeah, we see that fireFrom the streets of BabylonTo the road that we've been on nowThe kaleidoscope claims another
Oh oh oh oh (oh)Well this is life in color (color)Today feels like no other (other)And the darkest graysThe sun bursts, clouds break
Oh oh oh oh (oh)Well this is life in motion (motion)And just when I couldn't run this race, noThe sun bursts, clouds breakThis is life in color
Well you've seen my worstAnd yet you see some hope in meThe black and white set us freeLike the queen to the rookYour decision was a sure thingHoney yeah, a sure thingNo wonder I feelLike I'm missing a heavy loadBut no matter what daylight brings to usWe all know
Oh oh oh oh (oh)Well this is life in color (color)Today feels like no other (other)And the darkest graysThe sun bursts, clouds break
Whoa oh oh oh (oh)Well this is life in motion (motion)And just when I couldn't run this race anymoreThe sun bursts, clouds breakThis is life in colorThis is life in color
Oh, Well this is life in color (color)Today feels like no other (other)And the darkest graysThe sun bursts, clouds break
Whoa oh oh oh (oh)Well this is life in motion (motion)And just when I couldn't run this race anymoreThe sun bursts, clouds breakThis is life in color, heyThis is life in color, yeah

Theme
ConclusionPoems do inspire others in many different languages, but modern ballads have language to influence the world. OneRepublic was able to bring poetry to life and any artist can do that as well, it all matters in their POV.
