Popular Music Assignment
The title of the song I chose is “Shallows” by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. The
style or genre of the song is folk pop/country. There are 2 vocalist, one male and the other
female. In the music video you can see 2 acoustic guitar being played as well as a set of bass
drums, a piano, and an electric guitar. I am not sure the exact amount of instruments in the
song but you can hear a piano, acoustic guitar, bass drums, cymbals, and a cello. The meaning
of the text/lyrics of this song is about 2 people who want to get as far away from the “shallow
area” as they can and go to the deep end. Meaning that how they just want to get away from
everyone and isolate themselves. There is a very powerful heartfelt mood to this song. The
tempo goes slow, fast, slow. This is one of my favorite songs because Lady Gaga has always
been one of my favorite artists for a long time and her voice sounds beautiful. I love the beat
and how the way the music makes me feel.
