Life of howling

Life of howling

This song shows that when you find out you live in a world that makes you different from all other people, you need to howl and find out the people who are the same as you. Although the sequences might be like an error code like 404, don't be afraid.

 The word howling and error code 404 create the name of this poem. Look at the title of the song seems to imply this repeated tired life, and talk about those mistakes that he made in his life. And this makes him stuck in a loop. The whole poem reveals a state of depression for the author. From here it also shows the author can't control his own state.

 From the writer's (singer's) Instagram, he told the reader(listener) that the background of this poem depends on a novel named 1984. The novel establishes a dystopian world. And the author has expressed that the story of the song is about the future of the world 100 years after 1984. He also described what the world would look like to him. In 1984, the world is violent and authoritarian. People in this environment have developed an attitude that only cares about the little things, but does not doubt the whole sick world. So this writer imagined that in this situation, the rain is falling down and he can't do anything ( Second sentences of the song).


As we know, the howling of the wolf is an action to help them find other same kinds. And the author writes that I'd be howlin' for ya, Before the shadows drag me under. The reason is Cuz when the darkness took me over, I wouldn't know what I have lost. Depends on this, we can know that the author wants to find a person that can help with each other. Sadly, from code 404, we could know that he didn't find it.

The whole poem is actually talking about a scary or despairing story. So the author told the reader at the very beginning of the poem, if you frightened easily, turn off your radio now.

Review

   Last Friday, Feb. 28th, I watched Mamma Mia. It's a musical drama written by Catherine Johnson.    The story of Mamma Mia is a story between mother, daughter and mother's lovers. Sophie is the name of the daughter, she was brought up by her mother. She wants to find out who her father is, so through her own wedding, she invites all three of Donna's former lovers over to try to find out who her father is.    As a student focus on clothes design, the costume is one thing that I really focus on. In my opinion, the choice of costume in this drama was really good. I've searched for the stills of Mamma Mia, which are very similar to the drama. For example, the bib short that Donna wears. This kind of clothes was used as work clothes in the beginning. In one scene, Donna took an electric drill, and the electric drill and suspenders showed the image of a worker. But in fact, she is not, so I think these clothes show that she is a relatively indepe...
