Imagine Dragons Newest Album Shows Different Meanings in Music
Schuyler Kropp, Staff Writer
Music is everywhere. We listen to it for many reasons, including focusing or calming our minds. By listening to music, you allow rhythms to flow into your ears while jamming out. Songs and albums are meant to have hidden meanings and messages. Anyone can listen to the lyrics of a song and process them in many ways. Songwriters try to have a hidden message in their songs or albums by saying what they truly mean in a more creative way. It is common that these messages get jumbled up causing misinterpretation. Trying to coax out information or meanings is hard to do, but it allows your brain to understand other ways to look at things. This also helps you find what songs are your jam. The band Imagine Dragons is a good example of putting meanings into their music. Imagine Dragons is an American rock band formed in 2008, based in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is headed by lead singer, Dan Reynolds. The band has mostly upbeat and some mild to slow songs, often changing their pace in many different ways. They write songs that grab people’s attention. If the song is short and mournful, then people might feel sad singing along to the song. But, if the song is long and cheerful, people might feel happy and exuberated.
Cassidy
Carver Lawson, Special Projects Manager
Everyone has heard of the ice queen. There are countless tales of a woman with a sharp tongue and an icy heart, but the village where she grew up knew her as Cassidy. It was a small place where everyone knew each other to the finest detail. A community is exactly what Cassidy needed, but her and her family were the outcasts of the village.

The Rush of A Concert
Juliet Buckley, Staff Writer and Social Media Contributor
As an eighteen-year-old girl when I look back and reflect on my life, I find music in every single area and memory. I believe that I have adored music since I came out of the womb. There have been so many times where I cannot recall a memory until I hear a song that I liked around the time of the memory. Because of this, I have made it my mission to attend as many concerts as possible.
A Fiery, Illustrious Display of Beauty
Dylan Aguirre-Miller, Staff Photographer
These photos were taken in Brighton, CO during sunset. I describe this time as a “fiery, illustrious display of beauty,”. The word “fiery’’ emphasizes the vivid, almost burning quality of the orange and red hues in the sky. The word “illustrious’’ suggests a grand and impressive spectacle, which is appropriate given the vastness of the sky and the reflection of the water.
