Benson Boone’s in the Stars

Introduction Benson Boone wrote "In the Stars" about her great-
grandmother. She was remarkably close to her, and it
was hard to deal with her loss for a long time. Writing
this song helped me come to terms with her
changing my mindset completely in a positive
direction. Boone, who is 19 years old as of the dropping
of this track, is a singer who, at this early juncture in his
career, is largely known as the man who quit American
Idol, even though he reportedly got off to a very good
start on the all-popular talent competition in 2021. Boone
has implied that the reason he bounced like that was
because the producers of the show were trying to
fashion him into an image that he did not agree with.

Source Benson Boone just released his third-ever single "In
the Stars," but it is already clear he is a huge star
himself and the only way to go from here is up. Yes, it
is reliable because the love of the son of his
grandmother is unconditional. I hope when people
listen to this song, they can relate to someone that
they have lost, and know that when you lose
someone a part of them always stays behind you.
Message Benson Boone wrote "In the Stars" about her great-
grandmother. She was remarkably close to her, and it
was hard to deal with her loss for a long time. Writing
this song helped me come to terms with her
changing my mindset completely in a positive
direction. The main subject of the lyric video that I
watched is loving your mother unconditionally.
Because we do not know what is the time that was
gone. So, every time, every minute of your life choose
it to be happy. I understand this song so much. not
wanting to say goodbye. It is like I am speaking with
someone about my own thoughts. “Digging through
your old birthday letters” digging through journals
with pictures of u folded up inside.” you took the best
of my heart and left the rest in pieces” I have never
been so afraid of losing memories. but they are
etched into my mind now. and as much as I would
hate losing them, I wish I could just forget them. I am
so terribly sorry that anyone must go through such
horrid nights. thinking about how on nights like this u
would be on the phone or with them. that date being
the password to every account, device, and lock. I am
so sorry to anyone reading this and knowing the
feeling. The main point supported is we should know
how to calculate our time. I understand this song so
much because I lost my great grandma a long time ago,
but the pain is there, and I would always go to her house
on Sundays which was her favorite because her family
came there right after we went to church. I would usually
walk into the room with her praying for us and to God.
And till this day I look at old birthday letters with her
wonderful handwriting. It is hard to say goodbye and I cry
to this song after listening to it on repeat for hours giving
myself a headache. The point of view in the lyric video
Benson Boone is I am still holding' on to everything
that is dead and gone I do not want to say goodbye,
cause this one mean forever. The image that catches
my attention is the star why I say so it because when
people listen to this song, they can relate to someone
that they have lost, and know that when you lose
someone a part of them always stays behind with
you. And the sound catches my realistic attention is
"Digging through my old birthday letters, a crumpled
20 still in the box," because her grandma always
wrote the cutest letters and left a twenty in each one.
Benson Boone still have one of those twenties that I
will keep for the rest of my life. So, what Benson is
putting forth thesis-wise is a resolve to never forget this
person who is now “in the stars,” i.e., up in heaven, if you
will. Sometimes when faced with these types of
situations, a person may be advised to move on or what
have you. But the vocalist is “still holding on” to his
relationship with the deceased, not being willing to
relinquish the memories nor the associated emotional
pain. For me the graphics, Images, text, and so on I think
its good to connect to the song it because the song is
more sadly. The main point in this lyrics video is more on
sad experiences sad memories, so better enjoy our life
and never forget our family to our future even though
were not know what the life expands of our life. The
accuracy of the message is good, it because its perfect to
connect the black background to white font color. We are
known that in the some of the letter or word in the song
is not realistic that we know so we can identify the true or
the bluff word so for me I easily to identify it. For me, the
 word is more catching it because we do not deny the fact
that the love of the mother is 100 percent true. So, I do
not have an issue about the gender it because no one
can discriminate in the video the image that we see in
whole lyrics video is the hand the star. Let us talk about
the lightning. The lightning is good and not eye pain. In
camera angle we all know that were not see any
character the only image that we see is the hand and the
star. So, more realization I thought that is lyrics video so
more on text is all about some image but more on text. I
focus on composition in the song choice and in the word
that indent in the song first, the song choice its good and
catchy because she identifies the star that her mother. In
the text is some of that is not realistic like the words “oh
it hurts like a million reason.” So, all of us is have ever
experience the million reasons of our life. The two words
that catchy my attention is crumpled and screaming. So, I
relate the crumpled in my life we all know that once a
paper crumpled it has never been the original form
already, so in the song once the person gone, we never
been doing the usual doing after she gone. And then the
screaming words screaming at the god what God choose
us in every situation and the god creation. The music is
softly because the song interpretation is sad because her
mother is died and the pitch is lower, the emotion is on
point. So, in the voice over we all know that song lyrics is
usually letters but according to the video is the singer
where Benson Boone is singing his creation. We all know
that Benson Boone is great singer. We deny the fact.

Medium The message of the song that the author conveys us. Is
all about loving our family specially in our great
 grandmother. this song relieves me and gives me
courage knowing that someone is out there in the same
situation am in. "In The Stars" about my great-
grandmother. I was remarkably close with her, and it was
hard to deal with her loss for a long time. Writing this
song helped me come to terms with her being change my
mindset completely in a positive direction. The advantage
of the song is there sharing their experience about the
life story of Benson Boone. The types of used that the
message deliver is digital platform. Because their upload
the lyrics video using YouTube and the song is in Spotify
and apple music also.

Audience The target audience of the song in the star is the one who
suffer the sad memories from the deeply explanation so
everyone whose suffer to that situation cheer up and be
strong minded. Because no can lift you expect yourself,
your family and trusted best friend. So how I might
interpret the message in the song in the star by Benson
Boone. This song reminds me about my Lola past away a
year ago who has unfortunately passed away from
disease I kept telling myself he was going to make it but
he never made it this song is the only thing that makes
me remember him he was a great Loa in universe and he
will forever be in our hearts even though I still younger in
that year I was 4 to 5 years old I don’t think so. will never
be the same he will never die in our heart I miss you
every day my Lola, I hope you know you are the best Lola
in my heart. my hero and forever will be

Context The most important thing I learned was the importance

of finding out and understanding who I want to be as an
artist. I think going into the show I was very unprepared
 to show who I was simply because I was so new to music.
I knew the direction of where I wanted to go just not
what I wanted my outcome to be. I think building my
foundation on my own is extremely important for me
personally because it will allow me to utterly understand
the artist, I want the world to see me as. That is the
purpose of the artist itself but to me the purpose of the
song in me is to remind us how great we are that we
have a great grandmother. So, we should we thank God
for this unconditional loving of my parents. So, on behalf
of the song, I consider myself as a lucky person or human
being. Because in the song her grandmother has gone
Benson Boone is so disappointed with that and so sad.
So that the purpose of the message is to inform us how is
the struggle when it come to knowing that your great
mother has gone. So, I think the controls of this kind of
lyrics vide is the corporation because it plays in any kind
of media like YouTube, Spotify, apple music and more.
And, in individual it because same song writer and singer
so that is personal and independent creation about his
memories or his life story.
Conclusion Boone, who is 19 years old as of the dropping of this
track, is a singer who, at this early juncture in his career,
is largely known as the man who quit American Idol, even
though he reportedly got off to a very good start on the
all-popular talent competition in 2021. Boone has implied
that the reason he bounced like that was because the
producers of the show were trying to fashion him into an
image that he did not agree with.
Though his beloved great grandma is now "in the
stars," Boone doesn't want to say goodbye to her, as this
means accepting, she's truly gone. Rather than moving
on, he wishes to hold on to the precious memories of
their time together. The memories of someone who’s left
your life will always stick with you, and I hope this song
 will help those memories feel like a blessing not a curse. I
hope you all love this song as I do and feel at peace while
listening. I love you all so much and am truly blessed to
have such a beautiful fan base. Remember who you are,
be yourself, love others, love yourself, and enjoy this little
piece of my heart.” The song was inspired by the passing
of his grandmother at the age of ninety-seven.
