The song makes useof an electric guitar as well as a flurry of trumpets as the dominantform of instrumentation with a husky tone witnessed in the lowerregisters, Lyrically, Justin Bieber’s song is basically a kiss-offdedicated to a self-loving past lover who did the protagonist wrong.
3.Evaluation
Attendingthe concert was very vital for me. First, it made me realize how theplatform has enabled artists, performers and musicians from all partsof the world to get recognition more especially in this cultural andeconomic era where the coverage of classical music and arts sectionshas been reduced or removed altogether (Dearstynen.p).Moreover,the concert has got its own reviewers whose role is to attend thevarious concerts and music performances, do a thorough andprofessional publication of the events and then ensure that they aredistributed and have a wider coverage through the online magazine.This makes it easy for their fans, managers, other artists as well asthe general public to access them.
Again,it was a perfect opportunity to see live performances of some of themost famous and respected artists, producers, songwriters as well asconductors in the music industry. For instance, Benjamin Zander,Justin Bieber, Tory Lane Pearl Jam band whose contribution is crucialin making the music and entertainment industry at large so lively(Dearstynen.p).Theyhave also been mentors and a source of inspiration to the youngupcoming artists who look upon them to develop their careers andtalents. It was a privilege attending the concert, each and everybodypresent really enjoyed the quality performances done by theirfavorite artists which had a very strong and inspiring message to thecrowd and the rest of the world.
Conclusion
NewYork Concert, therefore, has played a considerable role in nurturingand promoting talents of various artists who would have otherwise nothave gotten the opportunity to showcase their capabilities andtalents in the music industry. It was very commendable seeing artistsdisplaying their talents, passing very strong and inspiring messagesto the rest of the world through their written songs.
