Grant McCloskey Week #3

“With a little love, and some tenderness. We'll walk upon the water, we'll rise above this mess”, Hootie and the Blowfish, Hold my Hand

 

I really like to listen to music, especially when you really listen to the lyrics. In the song Hold my Hand there is an excerpt that I find particularly appealing to me, it is at the opening of the song. It is almost like a preview of the song, much as an introduction to writing. The song states that “with a little love, and some tenderness” almost as actions that you should do, then it goes on to say “we’ll walk upon the water, we’ll rise above this mess”, then as a result of your actions you can rise above you situation to something higher.

I really like the structure of the two sentences and how they work together. The first is almost a call of action, do this; and then followed by the second, which is almost as a result of you actions, this is what will happen.

This is really powerful to me just because it is almost a call to action. I really feel that this is something that I could use in my work because when you are talking about s problem or event that need to be solved, you can use your speech to call to order with what you need to do to accomplish that task.

 

“With hard work, and dedication. We’ll win this battle, we will win this war”
