Poetic Music

I chose this song, which is called 'Gravity Hurts', sung by Niels Brinck. I would say that there is lots of rhythm in this song. Also, because of mostly the same phrases are song over, there is a lot of rhyme, though there is no

Lyrics
Tension is risin'
Gravity hurts
Everythin's fallin' apart
Choosin' the right side
Choosin' our faith
Choosin' is what we must do
Everyone's countin' on you

For freedom we rise
Learn to fly, reach the sky
Legend will carry you thousands of miles
Take a stand, hold the land
Make sure that everyone's ready to win
Find the speed, all you need
Team up for battle we fly
Fly

We fly
Gravity hurts

Creatures keep comin'
Reachin' within
Stealthy they climb from the dark
Yeah
Searchin' for wisdom
Searchin' for truth
Show us the things you can do
Maybe it's all up to you, yeah

For freedom we rise
Learn to fly, reach the sky
Legend will carry you thousands of miles
Take a stand, hold the land
Make sure that everyone's ready to win
Find the speed, all you need
Team up for battle we fly
Fly

For freedom we rise
Learn to fly, reach the sky
Legend will carry you thousands of miles
Take a stand, hold the land
Make sure that everyone's ready to win
Find the speed, all you need
Team up for battle

For freedom we rise
Learn to fly, reach the sky
Legend will carry you thousands of miles
Take a stand, hold the land
Make sure that everyone's ready to win
Find the speed, all you need
Team up for battle we fly
Fly

That we should be brave and stand up strong, because if we can learn to fly we can win. Also, the music is very strong, as if it is trying to show off that it is great and powerful, like a rocket blasting off.
