Song analysis

Airplanes
Today I will introduce and analysis the song Airplanes. The song was released to urban radio on April 27, 2010. The singer of the song is Bobby Ray Simmons. He is better known by his stage name B.o.B. He is an American rapper, singer-songwriter and record producer. The music and chorus were written by Kinetics & One Love . The song is not only singing by B.o.B himself. He sings this song in collaboration with Hayley Williams who is a famous American singer, songwriter, and the lead vocalist of the band Paramore. This song reached number one in the United Kingdom, and as well as the top three in the United States. This collaboration led to a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals.
The song likes a beautiful dream and wish. In the song, he dreams he could be airplanes that fly in the night sky just like the shooting star and he wants to use a wish.
This song is divided to two parts, the first part is singing by Hayley Williams. This is a short part that talks about a dream, and he dreams he could be an airplane that flies in the night sky just like the shooting star. This part is like a traditional pop music. It makes us have a quiet and dreamy feeling. Then the style suddenly changes from a pop style to a hip hop style. The singer of this part is B.O.B. This rap part makes me have an active and passion feeling. This part is talking about a small narrative about the hopeless time, but he still has a wish that everything can change.
He makes the airplane like a shooting star, because people always make a wish when they see the shooting star.
From the lyrics, I find out that he want tell us life seems so much better in the past. when things were simple (or so it seems)and when you look back, you miss it and wish you could go back because now life seems to be leaving you behind.
Airplane is about how Hip-Hop and Rap today is different from the past.
