Seasonal Mythologies in the Lyrics of Cowboy Junkies

In many of his most memorable ballads, Cowboy Junkies lyricist and lead guitarist Michael Timmins combines imagery of seasonal change, of the year, notably of Winter, with religious and mythological references to create richly textured metaphors and analogies of love, loss and anguish. Some of the band’s songs which display these symbolic networks and thematic linkages which we Will consider here are “Winter’s Song,” “’Cause Cheap is How I Feel,” “Crescent Moon,” “First Recollection,” “Sad to See the Season Go,” “Good Friday” and “Ring on the Sill.” We will show that Timmins succeeds not only in rendering vivid tableaux of life in a world where Winter dominates the seasonal round, but also in making those exterior visions, in effect, objective correlatives of the inner lives of the characters of his ballads.

Analysis of Song Lyrics Translation——Taking Viva La Vida and Set Love Free for examples

Based on Katharina Reiss's definition of the audio-medial text, this thesis first makes plain the unique feature of song lyrics translation while differentiating between the above two confusable concepts. Furthermore, it puts forward principles which lay emphasis on the balancing of three yardsticks-rhyming(optional), comprehensibility and loyalty. The first one can add elegance for lyrics translation. The last two requires mediation of intentions among the source writer and the target listener in a particular translational action. The principles are then applied to the evaluation of lyrics translation of two English songs of Viva La Vida and Set Love Free. The conclusion is thus reached that these principles can be used to make lyrics translation.

From The Serenity Dwelling Collection to The Tea Smoke Pavilion Collection:ANew Discussion on the Guiding Principle behind Zhu Yizun's Object-Depicting Lyrics

The Lyric Collection on Objects of the Tea Smoke Pavilion is an anthology that Zhu Yizun compiled in his later years by carefully selecting object-depicting lyrics he composed throughout his life.Approximately 70 percent of the works were created before he participated in the imperial examination in 1679.This indicates that this anthology does not fully reflect the characteristics of the lyrics he penned in his later years.The collection title"Tea Smoke Pavilion,"as revealed in The Lyric Collection of the Serenity Dwelling,reflects the poet's distinctive approach to expressing emotions through depicting objects.A detailed examination of Zhu's works from the perspectives of textual structure,language,tone pattern and rhyming demonstrates that Zhu has consistently adhered to the same guiding principle when composing object-depicting lyrics.He has elevated the technique of“objectification,”pioneered by the poets of the Southern Song Dynasty to a new realm,crafting a unique beauty in object-depicting lyrics,which is different from the beauty of Song lyrics.His success is rooted in his emotional experiences depicted in The Serenity Dwelling Collection.His relentless exploration in artistic forms has provided a source of inspiration for scholars of later generations to explore how to convey personal sentiments.It also offers an opportunity to reflect on the merits and demerits regarding the development of object-depicting lyrics during the Qing Dynasty.

Sermonizing as Pragmatic Act in Sikiru Ayinde Barrister's Lyrics

A sermon is a talk or advice given by clergy in religious discourse.This sermonizing function,however,seems to have ceased to be an exclusive preserve of the clerics.This paper investigates this pragmatic act of sermonizing in thirty-one (31) selected lyrics of Sikiru Ayinde Barrister (SAB) of the Fuji fame in Nigeria’s music industry,using Jacob Mey’s (2001) Pragmatic Act theory and Kecskes’ (2010) Socio-Cognitive Approach.A surprising depth of sermonizing in various categories,including social,economic and political sermonizing acts were found paramount in his lyrics.The socio-economic sermonizing act relates to family matters,managing marital conflict,child training and upbringing,value of hard work and dedication to duty,family planning,and such other personal values as showing gratitude for being alive and well,honesty,patience,peacemaking,respect for all,leading a responsible life,helping people,resisting doing evil,wishing others well and cooperating in doing good,the ultimate good judgement of God,being prayerful,inevitability of death,destiny,etc.The political sermonizing act calls for unity,peace,progress,political will,creating an enabling environment by the government,protecting democratic norms and the rule of law,and the need to look inward for an all-round national development.This paper concludes that SAB,beyond being an entertainer,is also a master sermonizer,as his sermonizing acts are deep,comprehensive,and revolve around building not only a complete,prosperous human figure but also a prosperous and peaceful nation.The lyrics,which qualify him as a Music Prophet,have something timeless,fresh and refreshing for all categories of people,particularly Nigerians.The limitation to his lyrics is that they are originally produced in Yoruba language;the import of the sermonizing act,however,is universal.

Image Innovation and Fusion in Xin Qiji’s Lyrics

Xin Qiji’s lyrics are known for their innovative images. This is attributed to his exceptional writing talent and creativity. Through careful observation, emotional sensitivity, and a richly imaginative mind, he crafts images. By skillfully intertwining natural and social images, he links them closely, using each to enhance the other. In his lyrics, he forges an alliance with the egret, creating numerous poetic pieces centered on this image. Together, the poet and the egret deliver a “drama” that is both poetic and filled with philosophical insights. To create new images with social and natural implications, Xin Qiji makes bold attempts, adopting an approach of writing lyrics in the same way as writing prose. He draws inspiration from various literary forms, transforming lyrics from a medium primarily focused on expressing emotions stirred by scenery—a common practice in the Northern Song Dynasty—into a tool for narrating stories while depicting scenery. This shift has provided important insights into lyric creation in the Southern Song Dynasty and beyond.
