Even Push, who couldn't help help but rap about moving heroin on the holidays, rifled off a line about New York feeling like his home in Virginia. Vado bragged about his cars and his jewelry, but ended up getting a "peck kiss" from someone he saw as "special." CyHi was miles away from his Chicago home, but he knew it was "pretty" on the East Coast. Kanye had fun with it, opening up with a few sweet-enough lines about Christmas sex: "My only question is, 'Where my presents?' / She said, Shhh,' she got a gift for me that ain’t for the kids to see." It set the tone for a song in which even the dumbest boasts came shot through with a little sweetness.
With the beat locked in, the ensemble cast was free to riff. "I never really heard it as a Christmas song," the producer told Vibe after the song first leaked onto the internet, "but when Kanye heard it, he said it sounded like some classic Christmas music." It was only on the night of the Twisted Fantasy release party that November that Kanye's cousin, Ricky, called Hit-Boy to tell him that Kanye wanted the beat for a Christmas song. Hit-Boy, then an underground producer looking for a leg up, had been sending beats to Kanye via a proxy for months, hoping that something might sneak onto his sprawling fifth LP, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. West can take the credit for figuring that out. It conjures the joyful spirit of A Motown Christmas while still sounding completely modern. But the spare piano over the top and the background strings line up perfectly.
Hit-Boy built the song out of four samples-the crackling gospel-funk of Joe Tex's "Papa Was Too," Shuggie Otis's lugubrious "Strawberry Letter 23," and Marvin Gaye's inevitably romantic "Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing" and "Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)"-none of which sound at all wintry. There's no unnecessary jangling, no reinterpretations of old-fashioned carols. The meaning of that line is that he will not tell any lies to his girlfriend.It's twinkly and grand, propelled by an effortlessly soulful beat that, via some miracle, sounds Christmassy without resorting to any of the most obvious holiday cheat codes. Jay (2003) explains that hyperbole “refers to exaggeration it aims to make an emotional statement”.
First, in the 2nd line, it is exaggeration because how God will strike people down just because they lie to someone else. A moment in the 7th line …show more content… It is found 10 lines of hyperbole which are the 2nd, 3th, 4th, 5th, 6th, 10th, 17th, 18th, 23rd, and 24th lines. They also add that it is used to emphasize the meaning of the words by the use of objectsĮnergy in the title represents the love which is owned by couples. Ade and Okuyene (2008) state that “symbolism is a poetic art of representing persons, objectives or ideas with another”.
It is found 3 lines containing symbolism which are in the title of the song, the 7th and 16th lines. Symbolism is one of the types of figurative language. In this song, there are found six types of figurative language. Here, the researcher can know that we have to treat and love our mate as we treat and love ourselves even though there will be lots of problems we still need to be loyal. Love never ends and it will last forever. This song more or less tells that when couples know that they no longer live, but they are still in love and they are sure that they will meet one another in the afterlife. When they are still alive, their love is always on, but hopefully in the afterlife their love will always be on as well because believe it or not they will meet again in the afterlife. Furthermore for couples, they need love in their relationship.
