Whereas, others must be wondering how such a thing can be achieved or what even is pop culture. Therefore, we are here to clear all your pop culture queries and much much more.<\/p>\n<h2>What is Pop Culture?<\/h2>\n<p>Under the umbrella term <em>pop culture<\/em>, we talk about the entirety of <em>ideas, perspectives, attitudes, media, art, literature, fashion and even food<\/em>. Pop culture comes from the root term \u2018<em>popular<\/em>\u2019. It refers to all those aspects of <em>life<\/em> and <em>art<\/em> that become popular within a community or even across borders. With its first emergence around <strong><em>20th<\/em> <\/strong>century till present day, it is known for receiving a lot of critique.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cA common belief among the masses suggest popular culture to be consumerist, sensationalist and corrupt.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Regardless of its <em>notoriety<\/em>, the impact of popular culture on our lives can not be denied. For instance, with the help of mass media, it is <em>permeating<\/em> our minds faster than ever. When we talk about popular culture, we witness a<em> \u2018boon and bane\u2019<\/em> situation. Discarding the banes of popular culture, we are here solely for the purpose of celebrating noteworthy <em>literature<\/em> and <em>pop culture<\/em> crossovers.<\/p>\n<h2>Artists alluding Religion<\/h2>\n<p>The subjects of <em>religion<\/em> and <em>spirituality<\/em> are often used as an <em>inspiration<\/em> for <em>artistic pursuits<\/em>. For they are significant to human beings, as the concept of an <em>almighty presence<\/em> assures them in the darkest of times. However, given the <em>creative license<\/em> the lines between <em>spirituality, religion and romantic love<\/em> are blurred, intertwined and often take on new meanings depending upon the artist and the audience. To see artists bringing in inspiration from religion and spirituality, we will be looking at the lyrics of Leanord Cohen\u2019s <em>Hallelujah<\/em> and <em>Hozier\u2019s music<\/em>. The name of Cohen\u2019s song itself alludes to the <em>Hebrew Bible<\/em>, in which the word Hallelujah means <em>\u201cto give praise\u201d.<\/em> Moreover, Cohen goes on to talk about certain noteworthy characters from the <em>Abrahamic faiths<\/em>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"ujudUb u7wWjf\" data-mh=\"-1\">\u201cNow I&#8217;ve heard there was a secret chord<br \/>\nThat <i>David<\/i> played, and it pleased the Lord<br \/>\nBut you dont really care for music, do you?<br \/>\nIt goes like this, the fourth, the fifth<br \/>\nThe minor falls, the major lifts<br \/>\nThe <i>baffled king<\/i> composing Hallelujah<\/div>\n<div data-mh=\"-1\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ujudUb xpdxpnd\" data-mh=\"-1\"><i>Hallelujah, Hallelujah<br \/>\nHallelujah, Hallelujah<\/i>\u201d<\/div>\n<div data-mh=\"-1\"><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div data-mh=\"-1\"><\/div>\n<div data-mh=\"-1\">Moving towards Hozier\u2019s music, one finds that on multiple instances where scriptures are alluded. For instance, in his song<i> \u201cFrom Eden\u201d<\/i>, he talks about the fall of <i>Lucifer<\/i> from the heavens, along the lines of:<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<div data-mh=\"-1\"><\/div>\n<div data-mh=\"-1\"><\/div>\n<div data-mh=\"-1\">\u201cHoney you&#8217;re familiar like my mirror years ago<br \/>\nIdealism sits prison, chivalry fell on it&#8217;s sword<br \/>\nInnocence died screaming, honey ask me I should know<br \/>\nI slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door\u201d<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div data-mh=\"-1\"><\/div>\n<div data-mh=\"-1\">Another mention of the same biblical event is present in the song<i> \u2018Wasteland\u2019.<\/i><\/div>\n<div data-mh=\"-1\"><\/div>\n<div data-mh=\"-1\"><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<div data-mh=\"-1\">\u201cLately of my wasteland, baby<br \/>\nBe still, my indelible friend<br \/>\nYou are unbreaking<br \/>\nThough quaking<br \/>\nThough crazy<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s just wasteland, baby\u201d<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>Taylor Swift\u2019s \u2014 An under appreciated literary giant<\/h2>\n<p>So many of us grew up listening to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taylorswift.com\/\">Taylor Swift<\/a>, all the way from her first album in <strong><i>2006<\/i><\/strong> to the <i>Evermore and Folklore era<\/i>. Her lyricism has always been critically acclaimed for beautiful <i>rhythms, elaborate descriptions and metaphors.<\/i> However, since the past few years, Taylor\u2019s music has not only made her a <i>music icon<\/i> but a <i>literary<\/i> one too. Resonance of literary masterpieces such as <i>Jane Eyre, Peter Pan, Rebecca and The Great Gatsby<\/i> is recurrent in her songs. Let\u2019s take a look at few of Taylor Swifts\u2019 song lyrics with the aforementioned references.<\/p>\n<h3>The Invisible String<\/h3>\n<p>Taylor\u2019s songs<i> \u2018Cardigan\u2019 <\/i>and<i> \u2018Willow\u2019 <\/i>both feature an invisible string in their videos, at first it could be hard to tell the significance. But then the presence of the song titled <i>\u201cinvisible string\u201d<\/i> in folklore poses as irrefutable evidence to the claim that these song hint towards Charlotte Bront\u00eb\u2019s <i>Jane Eyre<\/i>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAnd isn&#8217;t it just so pretty to think<br \/>\nAll along there was some<br \/>\nInvisible string<br \/>\nTying you to me?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8287\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8287\" style=\"width: 636px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8287\" src=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Invisible-String.jpeg\" alt=\"Popular Culture\" width=\"636\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Invisible-String.jpeg 636w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Invisible-String-298x300.jpeg 298w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Invisible-String-150x151.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Invisible-String-300x302.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 636px) 100vw, 636px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8287\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Still from Taylor Swifts\u2019 Willow<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Whereas, Charlotte Bront\u00eb writes,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI have a strange feeling with regard to you. As if I had a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly knotted to a similar string in you.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Speaking of the song \u2018cardigan\u2019, we come across a <i>Peter Pan <\/i>reference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCause I knew you<br \/>\nSteppin&#8217; on the last train<br \/>\nMarked me like a bloodstain, I<br \/>\nI knew you<br \/>\nTried to change the ending<br \/>\nPeter losing Wendy\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Romanticism<\/h3>\n<p>Taylor Swift derives a lot of inspiration from the <i>romantic era<\/i>. She not only alludes this through her <i>imagery<\/i> and <i>themes<\/i> but also in the form of lyrics. Moreover, she also holds in great regard the<i> \u2018lake poets\u2019<\/i> such as <i>William WordsWorth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge<\/i>. For instance, while talking about the Lake District in her song \u201cThe Lakes\u201d\u00a0she writes;<\/p>\n<div class=\"ujudUb\">\u201cisn\u2019t it romantic how all my elegies eulogize me?<br \/>\nI&#8217;m not cut out for all these cynical clones<br \/>\nThese hunters with cell phones<\/div>\n<div class=\"ujudUb\">Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die<br \/>\nI don&#8217;t belong, and my beloved, neither do you<br \/>\nThose Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry<br \/>\nI&#8217;m setting off, but not without my muse\u201d<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On another instance, she does a play on words along the lines of,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhat should be over burrowed under my skin<br \/>\nIn heart-stopping waves of hurt<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve come too far to watch some namedropping sleaze<br \/>\nTell me what are my words worth\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Gatsby\u2019s Green Light<\/h2>\n<p>The <i>green light <\/i>from Fitzgerald\u2019s famed novel<i> \u201cThe Great Gatsby\u201d <\/i>is one of the most alluded symbol in <i>arts<\/i> and <i>literature<\/i>. Today, we will be referring to a contemporary song where this symbol can be vividly seen. The symbol of the green light doesn\u2019t need any elaboration as literary souls all around world have already written countless essays debating its significance. However, those of you who still missed the point of it, let\u2019s indulge you. The green light at the end of the Buchanans&#8217; pier serves a <i>practical purpose<\/i>: it functions\u00a0as a warning to boaters that there is a potential hazard nearby. As for Gatsby, it symbolises the<i> \u201cAmerican Dream\u201d <\/i>and his desire to acquire <i>Daisy\u2019s love<\/i>.<\/p>\n<h3>Ben Barnes\u2019 11:11<\/h3>\n<p><i>\u201cDoes the mirror number time 11:11 has mystical or cosmic significance? Maybe not, but it can not hurt to make a wish\u201d<\/i>, says Ben Barnes. Ben Barnes own words about the song hint that the song has something to do with one\u2019s desires or longing in life. Furthermore, in between his lyrics, he also talks about his lover being close by yet never within his reach.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIs it late?<br \/>\n11 minutes past 11<br \/>\nIt\u2019s both always but never our time<br \/>\nnothing to regret<br \/>\nThe rest just might be heaven<br \/>\nYou\u2019re always but never really mine.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Another aspect of the song that refers to the green light could be a coincidence. However, we all know there aren\u2019t really that much coincidences in life, especially when it comes to art. The dress that the woman in the song is wearing is <i>green<\/i>. Moreover, through out the video she remains someone he can not have. Therefore, when we put two and two together, we can understand the allusion presented in the song.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8286\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8286\" style=\"width: 2048px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8286\" src=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Pop-Culture.jpeg\" alt=\"Pop Culture\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Pop-Culture.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Pop-Culture-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Pop-Culture-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Pop-Culture-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Pop-Culture-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Pop-Culture-150x113.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Pop-Culture-696x522.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Pop-Culture-1068x801.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/daastan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Pop-Culture-1920x1440.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8286\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Still from Ben Barnes\u2019 11:11<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We hope you enjoyed this exciting rundown of book references in popular culture with us.
