Symbolism: Activity #1 January 2016 (Value: 100 points)(1 Grade)
Theme : Literary Devices
Sub-theme: Symbolism
Activity:#1- Second Semester (January-2016)
Instructions:
1-Look for the Song With Arms Wide Open by Creed or any other Creed song. You can choose any song for the activity that can be used on this work.
Example:Bob Marley and The Wailers "I'm Hurting Inside"
Background information:
According to the movie Marley, Bob instructed the band to play the same song over and over—"I'm Hurting Inside," a plaintive, little-known late 60s Wailers cut that spoke to the pain in the 35-year-old man's body and soul.
He never performed the song during his final concert, which is captured on the live album Live Forever. Apparently Bob was just feeling this song that day for deeply personal reasons. "When I was just a little child, happiness was there a while," he sang. "But for me it slipped one day. Happiness come back I say..."
On September 23, 1980, Bob Marley performed the last concert of his life in Pittsburgh, PA. Suffering from terminal cancer, the Tuff Gong was not expected to live much longer. Still he rehearsed relentlessly before that last show as usual—but this rehearsal was a bit different.
When I was just a little child (little child) Happiness was there awhile (there awhile) And from me it... it slipped one day Happiness come back I say
Cause if you don't come I've got to go looking For happiness
Well if you don't come I've got to go looking God, for happiness, happiness
Say that Say I'm hurting And it's no sense I'm hurting, I'm hurting Deep inside Oh good god now
Oh hear my cry, hear my cry Yeah my my my my my my my cry
Been together like school children (school children) Then you hurt me just in vain (just in vain) Oh, Lord, I'm your weary child Oh, happiness come back awhile
Cause if you don't come I'm gonna go looking For happiness (the road is dangerous) I've got to go looking For happiness, happiness
Said I'm Don't you know I'm I'm hurting, hurting inside Oh I'm hurting Who cares Who cares
Does the one who love, oh Feel the pain Feel the pain
Does the one who love Feel the pain Feel the pain
