Personification in music

Answer 1

Hopefully you know what personification is? When something is personified it is given human characteristics

Here's some examples...

"Caught me making eyes at the other boatman's wives,

And heard me laughing louder at the jokes told by their daughters.

I'd set my course for land, but you well understand,

It takes a steady hand to navigate adulterous waters."

"The tarnish on my brass, the mildew on my glass-

I'd never want someone so crass as to want someone like me.

But a few leagues off the shore, I bit a flashing lure,

And I assure you, it was not what I expected it to be!

I still tastes its kiss, that dull hook in my lip

Is a memory as useless as a rod without a reel.

To an anchor ever dropped, sea-sick yet still docked,

Captain spotted napping with his first mate at the wheel."

"As we lay and slept,

The river wept for you, Zion!

The stones cry out,

Bells shake the sky!

All of creation groans..."
