Music Video analysis

1. What is the song basically saying about how to live a good life? Paraphrase the main idea.

The video of the Beatles "all you need is love", is saying that in order to have a good life, all you need love. That loving one another makes life better, that the main thing in life is love, without it life would be meaningless, and not great. Also that whatever you can do, can be done.

2. What lyrics particularly speak to that perspective? Use quotes as evidence.

Well the part of that all you need in a happy life is love was based on the part of the lyrics where they sing "All you need is love, all you need is love, All you need is love, love, love is all you need." The part where it looks like its saying is whatever you can do, can be done is fro the quotes like "There's nothing you can do that can't be done. Nothing you can sing that can't be sung." its like saying you can do whatever you want or put your mind into, kind of like there is nothing you cant do.

3. How do the video images support, re-orient, or challenge the dominant theme of the lyrics? Analyze.

The images in the music video helps support the idea that love is all you need, because a bunch of people are like joined together in unity, which is sometimes used as a symbol of love because people think unity has to do with people loving each other. Also decorations are usually used for something happy, like flowers and colorful balloons make people think in a positive way, which goes with a happy life, since bright colors are usually seen as happy warm things, and since people like colorful things.

4. What else do you notice that's interesting? Look for internal contradictions, aspects of the message that resonate with other messages from the pop culture, points that connect to your own perspective, etc. Analyze squared.

About the thing i wrote earlier about the quote "there's nothing you can do...can't be sung" I find that kind of ignorant/arrogant because not everybody can do a certain thing, like people who are disabled might not be able to do certain things that non-disabled people can do, like playing soccer, for those whose legs are paralyzed. Not everyone in this world can do just anything. Also for the love part, its also kind of ignorant/arrogant because love isn't the most important thing in life, sure it might be important, but its not the only thing we need for a happy life. Like money, we need money to buy food, clothes, and to pay our taxes, our bills, I find that money is more important then love, to have a better life, because we need food, water, and clothes more then love. We need food to survive and not die from hunger and clothes to cover our body parts. Love is just a feeling people think they can't live without, but its not like you're going to die if you don't have love in your life. So love isn't like the most important thing in life, so you can still live a good life without it.
