My ideas on Heaven and Hell.

In life you get many opportunities to make choices. Whatever you do or choose there will probably be one or more people who will be affected positively or negatively by your choice. In a quick sentence this means there is good and bad in everything. The song Heaven and Hell written by Black Sabbath was released in 1980 on the album called Heaven and Hell. The song talks about how sometimes things can be very different than how you think they are. When I listen to this song I hear it as mostly as a metaphor. I can relate this song to society and myself.

When I listen to the chorus there is a part in it that says, “It goes on, and on, and on its heaven and hell”. I think this has allot to do with daily life and myself. To me this means there is good and bad in everything. My evidence is if you get premoted at work it probably means the person who had the job before you left, got fired or just quit and you had the skills to fill the job. In that occasion something good happened to you and something band probably happened to someone else.

In the seconded to last verse it talks about society. It says “life is a carousel, spinning fast you have to ride it well. The world is full of kings and queens who will blind your eyes and steal your dreams.” To me this means life moves fast and if you don’t pay attention and have fun you will be lost and not happy with you are. The seconded sentence means to me that there will always be someone or something that is very powerful (the news paper, or political leaders ext.) that will try to make you lose your inner self and persuade you to do whatever they say. I will always want to remember this because it is the way I want to live life, having fun and not letting me lose my inner self.

In the last verse it talks about something that I will remember my whole life, it may be one of the most important things to remember when living. The verse says “they’ll tell you black is really white, the moon is just the sun at night…” To me this means it is important to think of the funny, odd, and impossible. If you live life always in reality, the funny, odd, and impossible will be a big joke to you and you will lose your imagination and have no fun.

Finally I thank you for reading my thoughts on the song Heaven and Hell. I hope you have learned something. Always remember to listen to at least listen to one good song a week otherwise you mite lose your sense of humor or imaginative ideas.
