Question 1
I chose the song “Grenade” by Bruno Mars
Question 2
The song adopts the structure of: Verse/pre-chorus/chorus that gives the song great blend on retros. This song also has choruses. E.g.
(“I'd catch a grenade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah”)
(“Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah”)
(“I'd jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah”)
The song has 51 verses. These verses are articulately organized. Most of these verses take us into understanding the feelings of the singers towards the lady. “You” don’t reverse the love given to her.
The bridge occurs after every a pre-chorus and a chorus. For instance:
“To give me all your love is all I ever asked'Cause………..What you don't understand is……I'd catch a grenade for ya”
Question 3
The piano symbolize mans vigor in taking all the weight off the woman from her shoulders. He did this in order to ensure that she is free from all problems. This is true from the video illustrations.
The line “getting grenade into his head” is hyperbolic in sense that the man exaggerates on how much he loves the girl.
Question 4
Basically, the song assumes the following pattern.
Verse>chorus>2bar interlude>bridge>interlude>outro
The main images are:
“I’d catch a grenade for ya”“Throw my hand on a blade for ya”“I’d jump in front of a train for ya”
Question 5
I had to look into the meaning of the word “trash” in relation to these lyrics. The word means throwing something into garbage since it is a waste.

General Analysis
The outstanding aspect about “Grenade” is that it is a great melody, an attribute that is not common with much pop music. Its lyrics are finely articulated and inform the listeners about age-old tale of love. They combine craftily in singing than in reading the matter at hand. The entire structure of the “grenade” song is great. It has a spare verse at the beginning, a big chorus in the first mid, lowered to ales sparse verse, and eventually peaks at the bridge.
Just beneath the Pads and glues of this track, there is a special organ that takes the centre stage. This aspect ...
