Song Analysis for Umbrella

     The song that I chose for the analysis is Umbrella by Rhianna and Jay Z. First of all there are many techniques that are being used and the first one is enjambment. Enjambment is when a line break comes in the middle of a sentence. This technique is used by when you see the lyrics or listen to them there is a pause in the middle of sentence and this is why. Lastly, the effects that this technique causes is that it causes the song to be more fluent and sound rythmic. Next, is stanza becuase there is a bit of it, and a stanza is a series of lines that is usually a recurring pattern. The way this is used is by since the song is so long that there has to be breaks in the lyrics for the chorus and other things. So the song has periodic breaks. The effects this causes is that it makes the song not sound like it is in one breath and it makes it sound more relaxed instead of sounding rushed.

      The next technique that is used would be consonance which is just the repitition of consonant sounds. So, the way that this is used when there is an end to any line there is a consonant rhyme with the other consonant either above or below it. The effects this causes is that it makes the song sound definitely more rythmic and makes it sound morelike a song and not like just words that are out there. Finally, the last technique used would be internal ryhme which is rhyme between a word within a line and another either at the end of the same line or within another line. This technique is used in the song by in some of the stanzas are examples of internal rhyme. The effects this cause is that is makes the song sound different and not so organized, meaning that the song has many different parts to it.
