"Lets Stay Together" by Al Green

     When we were assigned this particular this as homework I could not think of a song to use. I brainstormed for several hours and I finally found the perfect song to use. I decided to go with the song "Lets Stay Together", which is sung by Al Green.  The poem is 20 verses long. In this song a couplet can be found in the verse,

'Cause you make me feel so brand new
And I want to spend my life with you

In these verses the words new and you rhyme with one another. When I analyzed these verses on a deeper level I came up with the conclusion that Green is trying to say that the woman that he's with gives him a new type of feeling and that feeling is so amazing that he wants to spend the rest of his life with her. 

In this song there is some repetition also. The words 'good' and 'bad' are repeated several times throughout the song. When Green repeats these words I believe he's trying to emphasize the fact that no matter what he and his partner goes through they will tough it out and pull through and end up still being together.
