A Philosophical Discussion in Contemporary Music: Jane's Addiction and Bush

Philosophical consideration in contemporary music: Jane's addiction and Bush's purpose is to study philosophical and theological themes in the work of two contemporary music groups. Other rock bands, Jane's Addiction and Bush will be the focus of this research. I chose these two artists because I observed the idea that I think is contrasting with their work. Perry Farrel is a Jane poisoning composer. His band was released in 1988 under the name Nothing's Shocking. It includes living teachings from the perspective of God, the status of humans in the world, and the philosophical point of Zen.

The song I want to analyze first is Jane Says of Jane's Addiction. The theme of "simplified character" is to avoid drug use and addiction. This song is basically installed in the low range. Jane is a girl with heroine addiction. Her personal boundary has been invaded, and she wants to get rid of this habit, "I will kick tomorrow ...". "She was angry / started crying" and experienced withdrawal with depression. Then the song continued to talk about loneliness. Drug addiction is the background of most music in today's society. People tend to worship celebrities and when they see or hear their idols are using medicines and drinks they follow the behavior of celebrities. Another song I would like to discuss is written by Smashing Pumpkins. "Tonight, tonight" is a song about growth. This song brings open light to society, making them feel comfortable and frustrated. But different emotions make music different

1) Listen to ragtime music in class. Discuss how this style of music reflects the society it creates and today's problems. Then let your students choose a contemporary song. Discuss the relationship with these songs and how they reflect our society and our experience. Please check style, rhythm and rhythm, instrument, lyrics and so on. Please check some examples of other music which is a direct means of social commentary and criticism, such as folk music and 1960s protest songs.

Under the guidance of Jane Ira Bloom, five students from Jazz and Contemporary Conservatory and one student from Mannes Music of Music were assigned the task of "restoring the file." I spent hours researching the topics I chose in the NYPL archive - now I created original works and performances based on my research. On Thursday, 7 th December, students will conduct research at the Bruno Walter Auditorium entitled "Shelf Life" in NYPL, followed by Q & A on their research. The show includes various instruments, voice / speaking, and other visual media. I will learn about the following six students
