Analysing songs

In this exercise you are supposed to listen to and analyse songs/lyrics.

Analysing songs/lyrics 

 

Pick one of the older songs and one of the newer.  

 

Listen to both songs and discuss the message of each song with one or two classmates (what is it that they want to say with these songs?).

 

Support your thoughts with extracts/phrases from the songs/lyrics.  

 

Take notes from your discussion in Unikum (uppgift) and hand in to your teacher. 

 

Then discuss with other classmates, who have listened to the same song/-s, and compare your thoughts. Have you interpreted the message in the same way?
