Saieen Zahoor ‘s “Toomba” and Lady Gaga’s “Alejandro”



The class of EDU 3234 was started with unexpected thing… Dr. Jaya let us to listen to two songs, entitled “Toomba” by Saieen Zahoor and “Alejandro” by Lady Gaga. Dr. Jaya said, listening to songs can be one way to understand literature. People can project their ideas in songs through the lyrics, melody, or even the portrayal of the people in certain video clip.
For example in the song “Toomba”, even we don’t understand the language that has being used; we can feel something from listening to the song. The nice melody could make us feel cal, undisturbed. However, despite I am used to listen to the “Alejandro” song and understand the lyric literary that was the first time I watched the video clip. At first I was uneasy to watch the clip, but through the clip and with the help of Dr. Jaya, I understand what the underlying meaning of the song.
