Song Analysis

MY SONG: Let it Go by Idina Menzel 
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/idinamenzel/letitgo.html


I first heard this song was in the movie theater. I have always really enjoyed this song. There are multiple different techniques used in this song. One of them that I noticed while analyzing was euphony. I found a lot of sounds that were very pleasing with the letters M or L. This technique was used to make the song sound pleasing to the ear of anyone who heard it. The euphony made it appealing. The next technique I noticed is called onomatopoeia. In this song I heard a lot of sounds that were said such as whirling, howling, and swirling.These words were used to add a  lot of affect on how people knew how she felt. Lastly I noticed alliteration. I saw many vowel sounds that were next to each other. This made the song a little bit more dramatic. All of these techniques give the song a emotional feel. They help show the true emotions of Elsa. 

The soapstone for me in Let it Go was pretty simple. The subject of this song is being free from the previous struggle. The occasion is that sometimes people just want their troubles gone.  Audience is people just watching the movie or just listening to the song. It is also to people who are having a hard time. Purpose is to show that everyone just needs to take a break. The speaker is else. It is in is in first person. The tone is relief.
