English presentation: Which BTS song should I analyse?

Hello my fellow ARMY! I hope you're having a great day! Spread positivity and happyness, even in sad times like this.

Soon I will be haven a presentation in my english class and we have to analyse literature. It can be a movie/series plot, a book or even a song.

So thought of analysing a song by our 7 handsome and talented men, BTS! Of course, it is hard topic, since 90% of the lyrics are in korean, but I do think that those translations that everybody can find on youtube or google are trustworthy! I've talked with my teacher and she said that this idea is totally fine!

The thing is, I haven't been an ARMY for a long time... 12 months now maybe, but I haven't dug into deep lyrics yet!

This is why I have come here, to search for help from you guys!

Maybe you can recommend me a good song that is "easy" to analize. With "easy" I mean lyrics that you can understand, even if you don't know the boys, since I'll be presenting them to my class mates and my teacher, of which on 2 class mates know them!

I'm very excited for your ideas!

The Top 10 Oasis Songs, Ranked

Don’t look back in anger, eh?

Fifteen years after Liam and Noel Gallagher called it quits, leading to one of music’s messiest breakups, Oasis has begun hinting at a return of sorts . As both brothers and the official band account posted the same graphic on X teasing an announcement on Aug. 27, rumors and reports circulated that the band was eyeing performances in 2025, including a slew of dates at London’s Wembley Stadium.

If the brothers do indeed come together, putting aside decades’ worth of feuding, it would result in one of the most highly anticipated music reunions of all time — something even die-hard Oasis fans never thought could happen after the band split in 2009, just a month after selling out multiple dates at Manchester’s 70,000-capacity Heaton Park.

As fans of the British rock band wait on pins and needles, Variety staffers narrowed down Oasis’ 10 best songs, including stadium singalongs, deep cuts and an inescapable acoustic anthem (you know the one).

She’s Electric (1995) 

“She’s Electric,” a deep cut from “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?” encompasses everything that Oasis nuts love about them. It’s unabashedly Beatles-y, down to the nod to “Because” in the closing notes. It’s a sturdy, bar band-friendly rocker, bashed out on jangly guitars that could’ve been strummed in a different era by Don and Phil Everly. It’s all tied together with unabashedly silly wordsmithing a la: “She’s electric / She’s in a family full of eccentrics” and “She’s got a sister / And on the palm of her hand is a blister.” It’s not profound, but it’s a sing-along, snap-along fan favorite. — C.L. 

Go Let It Out (2000) 

The band’s fourth record, 2000’s “Standing on the Shoulder of Giants,” is a psychedelia-tinged affair that flirts with the bloat that comes with being the biggest band on the planet. But the album’s first single, “Go Let It Out,” is an all-timer, mashing together a stadium-ready chorus and guitars with ornate instrumentation that adds sonic depth. The sly star of the show is Noel’s creeping Mellotron, in conversation with Liam’s staggering snarl. Although the Gallaghers are prone to self-aggrandizement, Noel was spot-on when he referred to the song as “the closest we came to sounding like a modern-day Beatles.” — W.E. 

Don't Go Away (1997) 

A gorgeous, reflective piece from their 1997 record “Be Here Now,” Liam reaches peak vulnerability with this aching song about wanting more time with a sick parent. Noel’s simple lyrics sting with the certain effects of time, letting go of any cleverness for earnest meditations on the flights that take us to painful places. “Damn my education, I can’t find the words to say / With all the things caught in my mind,” Liam moans, with mournful horns and a string section building his grief into a universal cacophony by the end. — W.E. 

Cigarettes & Alcohol (1994)

A scorching blues-rock anthem about getting after it, “Cigarettes & Alcohol” is an ode to passing the time by ripping darts and drinking booze. But underneath its working-class disenchantment (“Is it worth the aggravation / To find yourself a job when there’s nothing worth working for?”) is a yearning for greatness. “You gotta make it happen,” Liam repeats on the chorus, referring to any number of youthful endeavors — “looking for some action,” ditching a 9-to-5 to become a rock ‘n’ roll star, getting the hell out of Manchester and into the “sunshee-iiine.” On a more basic level, all of us, at some point in our lives, can relate to its down-bad declaration: “All I need are cigarettes and alcohol.” — E.S. 

Rock ‘n’ Roll Star (1994)

In the opening song of their debut album, the Gallagher brothers introduced themselves like this: “Toniiiiight, I’m a rock ‘n’ roll star!” Maybe they were manifesting it; “Definitely Maybe” became the fastest-selling debut album in British history, and Oasis almost immediately became the country’s most important band of the decade. Looking back, the song’s wailing guitar riff sounds almost like a warning siren. A favorite concert closer, “Rock ‘n’ Roll Star’s” blistering guitars and mouth-stretching Liam-isms see Oasis at its most fun: “I live my life in the citaaayyy … I need some time in the sunshee-iiine!” And, with its titular proclamation, it taps into the unspoken desires of every music fan, if only for five minutes. — E.S. 

Acquiesce (1995) 

The Gallaghers trade off vocal duties on this rollicking 1995 B-side that became a fan favorite. Although Noel brings the piss and vinegar with his guitar, he also mans the soaring and reflective vocals on the chorus, with lyrics reading like a grudging acknowledgment of the brothers’ bond (“Because we need each other / We believe in one another”). While Noel predictably called this fan theory “total fucking bullshit,” Liam’s sneering melts perfectly into his brother’s crisp tone in a way that proves that, despite all the fights, these two really  do  need each other. — W.E. 

Wonderwall (1995) 

No acoustic guitar or London pub is safe from “Wonderwall,” one of Oasis’ flagship tracks. Named after the 1968 film “Wonderwall — From Psychedelia to Surrealism,” which featured a soundtrack from George Harrison, “Wonderwall” is the type of song that builds towards a conclusion that never comes. Liam Gallagher sings his brother Noel’s lyrics with clarity and a bit of hopefulness, that there’s an answer to some form of despair, as the instruments swell around him. A resolution never arrives, but the sentiment lingers as the song crashes out. — S.H. 

Don’t Look Back in Anger (1995) 

Noel might have given Liam “I said maaaybaaayyy,” but he saved the better chorus for himself with “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” which — sorry, “Wonderwall” — is the band’s best sing-along anthem. Its title references the famous John Osborne play, and its piano opening cribs John Lennon’s “Imagine,” a bold move from someone who once boasted Oasis was “bigger” than the Beatles (Noel later retracted that comment, saying he was “high” when he said it). A melancholy, arena-sized rejection of regret, “Don’t Look Back in Anger” builds up to one of rock music’s biggest refrains: “Sooo, Sally can wait!” It was also the first Oasis single to feature Noel’s vocals, proving that Liam wasn’t the only Gallagher capable of carrying a No. 1 hit. — E.S. 

Supersonic (1994) 

The similarities between Oasis and AC/DC may not be obvious — and would probably bring forth a shower of expletives from the Gallagher brothers — but on many songs the template is the same: reptile-brain-simple chord progressions and lyrics, but with a melodic uplift on the chorus that transports the song somewhere else. It’s a fusion of rock and pop that manages to be tough and pretty at the same time, and case in point is this first single from their first album, “Definitely Maybe,” which got the ball rolling in April of 1994. — J.A. 

Champagne Supernova (1995) 

For all his fighting words, Noel Gallagher has always paid respect to his forebears, and this song — the closing track on what many feel is the band’s best album, “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?” — not only showed a depth and maturity to his songwriting that wasn’t as obvious earlier, it features some slashing guitar work from Paul Weller, whose work with the Jam in the late ‘70s-early ‘80s was a pivotal influence on Oasis. — J.A.

10 Great Walk-On Songs for Corporate Events (Updated for 2024)

By Kathleen Costanza | June 17, 2024

Before you even read this list, go listen to the first 10 seconds of “ Ain’t No Mountain High Enough ” by Tammi Terrell and Marvin Gaye. Go on, we’ll wait. Those first few seconds have so much rhythm and emotion, it’s impossible for your foot to not start tapping juuussst a little, and for your energy to creep upwards.

Event planners have so many elements to coordinate that walk-on music might be at the bottom of your list. But music is one of the best tools you have for setting the right energy as your presenters walk onstage. Combined with great lighting , stage design , and high-quality sound , just a few seconds of the right song sets your keynote speaker or other presenters up for a successful talk that your audience remembers.

Do you Need a License to Play Music at an Event?

First, a note about licensing. For corporate events, you have to make sure you have the correct license to play copyrighted music. There are two organizations that meeting and event planners typically license music from — BMI and ASCAP. Both organizations license songs to businesses and then pay royalties to artists directly. You can usually get blanket coverage for a set amount of time, and the fees are based around how many attendees will be listening to the music.

This might seem like a lot of hassle for just playing just a few measures of a song. But keep in mind you may be able to use a song you license for recurring events you have in different locations. You can also use the song as a presenter walks offstage, so the energy stays strong as the presentation ends.

Plus, if you’re hosting a hybrid event, you can use it for transitions for your hold slides when there are short breaks, or your presenters are walking on or off stage.

Best Walk-On Songs for Corporate Events

1. September, Earth, Wind & Fire

It’s been a long day in a hotel ballroom. Is there a song that can energize people more than this classic?

2. Super Shy, NewJeans

Just plain fun. It’s impossible not to move to this playful, catchy K-Pop megahit. The ultimate earworm that will become the signature sound of your event.

3. Train in Vain, The Clash

Feeling more of a rock energy? This song by The Clash works well as background walk-on music.

4. Bejeweled, Taylor Swift

There’s a reason Bejeweled enjoyed a viral TikTok moment. Taylor Swift’s song about never losing your shine sets the tone for an upbeat, memorable keynote or session.

5. I Ain’t Worried, One Republic

Carefree and confident, this would be a perfect fit for an SKO or any optimistic meeting or conference. Its lyrics highlight soaking in the moment and being present — a perfect intro or send-off for any event.

6. Go Your Own Way, Fleetwood Mac

Instantly recognizable, with a calmer tone than more recent pop songs.

7. I heard It Through the Grapevine, Marvin Gaye

A classic chorus to instantly lift the mood of a room.

8. Espresso, Sabrina Carpenter

Pump some caffeine through the venue speakers. This song contains the year’s most grammatically confounding yet perfect line: “That’s that me espresso.” There’s simply no way for it not to set an energized vibe. Just a note: You may opt for the radio edit on this one.

9. Texas Hold ‘Em, Beyonce

Does your Texas event take place in Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, Fort Worth — or, of course, Beyonce’s hometown of Houston? You have your 2024 walk-on song! And even if not, this fun anthem could work for many cities in the Southwest if your event is embracing any western theme or vibe. You may want to opt for the radio edit on this one as well.

10. Instrumental Pop Covers

If you’re looking for something solely instrumental that still has high energy and your audience will recognize, consider one of the songs from Spotify’s Instrumental Pop Covers playlist . It includes upbeat instrumental classics versions of oldies and recent hits.

Free and Low-Cost Music to Play at Events

If you’re not able to get a license to play copyrighted songs, fear not! Your presenter absolutely does not have to walk on in total silence. There are many options for getting music you can legally play at events.

For example, the Free Music Archive has an incredible selection of public domain music (meaning there’s no copyright restrictions). Buffer also has a great list of places to find free music. Plus, there are numerous stock music websites where you can purchase instrumental music for an affordable cost.

Finally, your AV provider can help you pick a great song for your event and will make sure it’s cued up correctly so your presenter doesn’t miss a beat.

When it’s your turn to step up to the karaoke stage, choosing the right song can make all the difference. To help you out, we've compiled 20 of the easiest karaoke songs so you can croon a crowd-pleaser with confidence.

Whether you’re a seasoned performer or a karaoke newcomer, the keys to a successful karaoke performance are picking an easy song with a catchy melody, simple lyrics and a straightforward vocal arrangement.

We took all of those things into consideration when choosing these easy karaoke songs. So, get ready to grab the microphone , step onto the karaoke stage and let these famous songs guide you into legendary status on your next karaoke night!

6 Bumpin' Crowd-pleasers

7 classic throwbacks, 4 heartfelt ballads, 3 more go-to tracks, 1. 'love shack' by the b-52's.

Here's a fun, quirky song that’s surprisingly easy to perform, making it a great choice for karaoke newcomers. The song's reggae-infused rhythm will make it a hit with the audience, while the simple melody will ensure you walk away from the mic looking like a karaoke star.

You can speak-sing your way through the verses just like lead vocalist Fred Schneider, then repeat the song's title several times in each chorus, and you're golden.

2. 'Flowers' by Miley Cyrus

A modern hit, "Flowers" by Miley Cyrus features a straightforward vocal line and relatable lyrics, making it an accessible and popular choice for karaoke singers of all levels.

If you usually struggle with high the notes on other karaoke tracks, choosing a song by Cyrus makes a lot of sense. As a mezzo-soprano , the pop star possesses a vocal range that's more approachable if you don't consider yourself to be a soprano.

3. 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody' by Whitney Houston

You wouldn't think a song by the iconic Whitney Houston — who had one of the most impressive vocal ranges of all time — would be a good choice, and yet you can safely call this uplifting anthem from the '80s one of the easiest karaoke songs.

Although it has a fast tempo (at 119 beats per minute), the song’s repetitive chorus and straightforward chord structure make it approachable for novice singers. Plus, its high energy and relatable lyrics make it a crowd-pleaser that’s hard for people to resist. In terms of range, don't be afraid to knock the high note on "I wanna feel the heat " down a couple octaves.

4. 'Don't Stop Believin'' by Journey

There's a simple reason this timeless anthem has played at every single wedding reception you've ever attended: "Don't Stop Believin'" is nothing but pure, feel-good vibes.

This is a song practically everyone in the karaoke world knows. And with its narrow vocal range requirement, themes of romance and hope, repetitive lyrics and uplifting message, it appeals to everyone.

The straightforward melody makes it easy to hit all the notes, although you can get as fancy as you want on the vocal riffs.

5. '... Baby One More Time' by Britney Spears

As far as karaoke tracks go, it might not get any better than this major pop hit by the one and only Britney Spears. With repetitive lyrics and a very simple melody, this bop has an ultra-catchy chorus and allows for a little flair, too, if you want to throw in some Britney-style arm choreography.

This is a great choice for karaoke newcomers who want to perform a pop hit with an infectious rhythm.

6. 'It's Raining Men' by The Weather Girls

This upbeat and fun track is a karaoke favorite for its infectious energy and memorable chorus. "It's Raining Men" is easy to sing along to or shout along to, and one of the most beloved karaoke songs to put in the queue on a bachelorette night or at a birthday party.

If you're nervous about taking the stage alone, bring a group up to sing this one with you. Then it really becomes a party.

1. 'Dancing Queen' by ABBA

Now let's throw it back to a classic. Yes, this hit by ABBA may require a little more in the vocal range department than the other songs on this list, but it has an infectious rhythm that gets everyone on the dance floor.

The joyful melody is uncomplicated, and the catchy chorus and upbeat tempo will ensure everyone remembers your turn at the mic as a fun one, even if you didn't hit every single note or flubbed a lyric or two.

Choose this if the crowd at your next karaoke party is already warmed up — you'll have a guaranteed hit on your hands.

2. 'Genie in a Bottle' by Christina Aguilera

This catchy pop hit could be the way to go if you're looking for some late '90s nostalgia. With its slow to moderate tempo, simple hook and repetitive chorus, it’s an accessible pop hit, whether you're a karaoke novice or veteran.

The chorus doesn't throw any wildly high or low notes at you, making it easy for you to sing — or even speak-sing — along to it while staying on rhythm. Want to do more? You can always re-create Christina Aguilera's moves from the iconic music video (crop top optional).

3. 'I Want It That Way' by Backstreet Boys

Another nostalgic favorite from the late '90s, "I Want It That Way" is a mid-tempo karaoke staple. The catchy chorus and earnest, simple lyrics make it perfect for getting the crowd involved. If you're more comfortable sharing the stage with several friends, this is another good choice for a group sing-a-long. Better yet, wear your best boy band attire to really sell the performance.

4. 'Hey Jude' by The Beatles

One of the most famous songs in the karaoke world (and arguably, one of the most famous songs of all time), "Hey Jude" by The Beatles checks nearly all the boxes required to label it one of the best easy karaoke songs.

Its repetitive lyrics and steady tempo of 74 beats per minute allow karaoke enthusiasts to sing along without worrying about what's coming up next. Plus the famous “na-na-na” chorus is easy to remember and perfect for getting the crowd singing.

Just note that if you want your turn on the stage to be a short one, there may be better options than this seven-minute-long tune (which is still a far cry from the longest song ever .

5. 'Sweet Caroline' by Neil Diamond

"Sweet Caroline" is a timeless classic, a crowd favorite and a popular karaoke song. Its repetitive chorus encourages participation, and Neil Diamond's easy execution of the gentle melody, with its simple chord progression, is the opposite of intimidating for novice singers who want to emulate his heartfelt rendition.

As a bonus, the song's unhurried tempo of just 63 beats per minute makes it easy to stay in tune.

6. 'Hound Dog' by Elvis Presley

This oldie is a goodie for a reason. "Hound Dog" keeps a vivacious tempo and is an iconic rock 'n' roll hit that features straightforward lyrics and a catchy rhythm, making it perfect for karaoke. It's a fun and energetic song that's easy to perform, but the rests between lyrics mean you won't be gasping for air as you sing.

This crowd-pleaser is sure to get everyone involved and singing along, so put it at the top of your list. And maybe practice some of the King's hip moves in the mirror in advance.

7. 'Say You’ll Be There' by Spice Girls

Grab four of your best friends and cue up "Say You'll Be There" by the Spice Girls. This '90s pop hit is known for its catchy chorus and simple melody, plus the spoken rhyme that comes up about three minutes into the four-minute song is just so satisfying to perform, especially if there's more than one of you on stage.

This is a great choice for a fun and lively group performance that everyone will be talking or texting about the next day.

1. 'Because of You' by Kelly Clarkson

Kelly Clarkson is practically synonymous with powerful pop-rock anthems, and "Because of You" is a prime example. It features a recognizable chorus, easy-to-follow lyrics and plenty of pauses where you can take a breath.

Although you can belt it out powerfully like Clarkson herself, the song doesn't require a particularly wide vocal range if you forgo her fanciest vocal riffs. It's admittedly not a perfect choice for karaoke newcomers, but it's an easy selection for veterans who want to make a strong impression.

2. 'Hallelujah' by Leonard Cohen

Another timeless classic on this list, "Hallelujah" is famous for its simple melody, sincere lyrics and moderate tempo. This song is an ideal choice if you want to deliver a more emotional performance. Odds are good it will temporarily bring down the energy in the room a few notches.

However, that could be exactly what you want if you're looking to have your spotlight moment. And depending on the crowd's familiarity with the song, you might find them all singing right along with you.

3. 'Take Me Home, Country Roads' by John Denver

Choose this feel-good folk gem if you prefer a more laid-back vibe on the karaoke stage and want to perform something that leans a little more country. With its gentle melody, easy-to-remember words, and vocal range perfect for a tenor, this 1970s single by John Denver is just as fun to perform as it is for the crowd to sing along to.

Its simple chord progression and heartfelt lyrics make it a perfect choice for a sincere, emotive performance. It's one of the best songs to sing at the end of the night or any time you want to keep things mellow.

4. 'All Too Well' by Taylor Swift

If you find Taylor Swift's emotive performance of "All Too Well" to be intimidating, think again. Although this song is lengthy (especially if you opt for the stamina-testing 10-minute version), this tender ballad's medium tempo, relatable lyrics and straightforward melody make it surprisingly approachable and a favorite in a certain crowd.

If you've arrived at karaoke night looking for your star moment, here's your chance to really milk your karaoke performance. Make it as emotional and as overwrought with drama as you choose.

1. 'Horse With No Name' by America

If you like karaoke tracks with chill vibes and are tired of hearing one love song after another, consider this one. The folk-rock classic is built around just a single chord and features a soothing vocal line and simple, repetitive chorus.

We're not saying you want to speak-sing your entire way through it, but you could if you wanted to, thanks to the song's unhurried tempo and gentle melody. Plus, a good portion of the song is just singing "la-la-la" over and over again. It's a great choice for novice singers looking for an easy yet impactful karaoke performance.

2. 'Hotel California' by Eagles

This is one of the best easy karaoke songs if you want to create a more mellow atmosphere on the karaoke stage. Known for its distinctive guitar riff and relaxed tempo, "Hotel California" is a laid-back song that’s easy to sing.

The vocal arrangement is nothing fancy, and the rhymes just keep coming, making every lyric so satisfying. Trust us, no crowd can resist joining in on this anthemic hit's smooth melody.

3. 'I'm Yours' by Jason Mraz

If you've thought that any song by Jason Mraz would be a tough karaoke pick, you weren't thinking of "I'm Yours." Although the artist is known for his typically complex lyrics requiring vocal gymnastics, this song is an outlier.

With its gentle, reggae-infused rhythm and slow, 70-beats-per-minute tempo, "I'm Yours" can be your go-to track for a relaxed karaoke experience. The song’s simple melody makes it an easy and enjoyable track to perform, and the tender message is sure to get the audience emotionally involved.

Adding a song into a presentation

I am creating a presentation for my English class and I was trying to add a song into my whole presentation but it only works for one slide or until I click my mouse. Can anybody help me keep the song playing through the whole presentation?

Sorry, you can find the answer in the FAQ but, at the moment, only in French: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/FR/FAQ/Impress/102

If you don’t read French try this: Google Traduction

Quick translation: To play sound throughout the presentation, go to the slide where the sound should start, add the sound as a transition sound, and have it play. The transition sound will play continuously (limitation: starting another sound will stop the transition sound)
