by: Elton John
I analyzed the song, Your Song, by Elton John. A classic, performed by the wonderful Elton John, is one of my all time favorite songs. Elton John in a number of his songs, portrays specific poetic and theme based lyrics to set a mood for the situation of the song.
There are multiple poetic techniques throughout the song. Sibilance appears specifically when the lyrics say, "Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen". That verse can also serve as euphony, the verse is actually expresses smooth tone for the song. Consonance is also demonstrated in most of the song. For example often times sounds like o or id throughout the lyrics. The tone of, Your Song, seems to be an amorous attitude. There are a couple of dictions throughout the lyrics, for example, "
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross.
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song". The speaker is speaking about possibly their companion. The purpose of the song is to express a feeling mainly towards love and possibly respect. My overall interpretation of this song is for it to serve as an entertainment but also an expression. Lyrics:
