That's Music To My Ears

I think by far my favorite form of media is music.  It provides a way to escape from stress three minutes...or maybe 45.  I for one usually listen to music while doing my homework, working out, and most definitely during jam sessions with my hairbrush.  Song after song adds up to be at least an hour.  Now, music is such a broad topic that it can encompass all of the advertising techniques we have learned so far.  However, if we focus on what some of today's hits are about, there are a selective few that stand out.  Beginning with Hotline Bling by Drake, this song illustrates the need for sex almost exclusively.  Despite how popular this song is, I'm noticing that many artists are actually veering away from this ad technique.  For example, Focus by Ariana Grande utilizes the need for attention as one of the the main lyrics implies("Focus on me").  However no matter what a song's lyrics may mean, popularity usually ends up clouding its meaning and the subliminal message is overlooked.  No matter how you look at music, whether that be analyzing every word under a microscope or simply enjoy it for how it sounds, this source of media has no doubt made a big impact in our lives.  Even if these advertising techniques are not noticed by many, this industry has still achieved their goal in getting us to purchase music.
