The song
I am analyzing is Sweet Disposition by The Temper Trap. This song is very
repetitive in many different ways. There is anaphora in two different sections
of the song, the first being when the song says
"A moment of love
A dream
A laugh
A kiss
A cry
Our
rights
Our
wrongs"
A is
repeated at the beginning of each of these lines creating anaphora of the
word/letter A. Anaphora is also used in the many sections of the song when it
says "won't stop till its over/we surrender (x4)." The anaphora in
this song creates emphasis on certain parts of the song. There is also
assonance of ō in the song. For example, "Sweet disposition
Never too
soon
Oh, reckless abandon
Like no one's
watching you."
The repetitions of these vowel
sounds creates a more low sound in the song and helps the song flow better
together.
