Song Choice

I had a difficult time choosing which song I would like to analyze for poetic style, but I finally decided on “What I Got” by Sublime. I have always enjoyed listening to Sublime, but because of the message, word choice and rhythm, What I Got is my favorite song. The words that sublime chooses to use in the song are simple, logical but also meaningful. I think the message of being grateful for what we have and not to constantly stress out about things that are out of our control is important and evident in this song. I think this song is a poem because it has a rhyming scheme and also a structure that flows accordingly. I also believe this song is a poem because the various hidden messages can be interpreted in many different ways. I am looking forward to further analyzing this song and writing the first essay.
