mc lars - the sonnet song lyrics

Loading...

[chorus]
“shall i compare thee to a, summer’s day?
thou art, more lovely and more temperate”
maybe you might know these rhymes?

they are from a sonnet that
shakespeare wrote long ago
fourteen lines, the first three quatrains establish a theme

[verse 1]
“what is pentameter?” let’s take a look?
five pairs of syllables,where rhythm is the hook
leaving petrarch shook with shakespeare’s twist
unstressed stressed and it sounds like this
“but soft what light through yonder window breaks?”
helping actors learn their lines to minimize mistakes
’cause life is complicated, hardly idyllic
like an amphibrach mixed with a foot so dactylic

[chorus]
“shall i compare thee to a, summer’s day?
thou art, more lovely and more temperate”
maybe you might know these rhymes?

they are from a sonnet that
shakespeare wrote long ago
fourteen lines, the first three quatrains establish a theme

william shakespeare (shakespeare!)
wrote mad sonnets
william shakespeare (shakespeare!)
wrote mad sonnets
if you love someone, drop pentameter on ‘em

william shakespeare (shakespeare!)
wrote mad sonnets
william shakespeare (shakespeare!)
wrote mad sonnets
if you love someone, drop pentameter on ‘em

[verse 2]
what do we know about shakespeare’s life?
no tell-all biographies penned by his wife
so we look to the sonnets, and read what they say
who was the dark lady? who was anne hathaway?
and was shakespeare g-y? no one really knows
but he wrote h-lla poems showing love to his bro
“was shakespeare even shakespeare?” many scholars want to know
by any other name is a rose still a rose? yo!

[spoken word]
seriously though, the authorship question is a very important one
and it’s honestly worth of its own song. stay tuned for that. yo dj! this drop is too long! what is this, coriol-n-s?

[chorus]
rhyme scheme goes ab ab cd cd ef e
f, the final lines always rhyme and they all resolve (gg)
petrarch he wrote sonnets too but this song’s, not ’bout you
a – bbaabb- c dc dc d? (please!)

william shakespeare (shakespeare!)
wrote mad sonnets
william shakespeare (shakespeare!)
wrote mad sonnets
if you love someone, drop pentameter on ‘em

[outro]
sonnet 126, we want to know
where did your missing rhyming couplet go?

sonnet 126, we want to know
where did your missing rhyming couplet go?

sonnet 126, we want to know
where did your missing rhyming couplet go?

sonnet 126, we want to know
where did your missing rhyming couplet go?

sonnet 126, we want to know
where did your missing rhyming couplet go?

sonnet 126, we want to know
where did your missing rhyming couplet go?

sonnet 126, we want to know
where did your missing rhyming couplet go?

i don’t know
shoot!
