billie jean - EDEN

As usual tonight I was listening to my music for hours and paying a little more attention to it than usual in order to find a song with a major technique that I easily noticed. I heard Billie Jean by EDEN and it hit me. I heard the assonance, the euphonious words, the tone by just listening to the first few seconds. The assonance shows immediately: "But she was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene I said, "oh mama, what do you mean"" the assonance shows with the e sound in queen, scene, and mean. This pattern continues later in the stanza with the introduction of the subject, Billie Jean - again with the e sound. Euphonious words were also very present through this song. This is present with the words "my lover", "smelled of sweet perfume", "eyes like mine." The tone in the song changes through the song. He claims throughout the song that her kid is not hers, she is not his lover, and she just thinks hes the one. He says this with simple words and seems not attached to her at all. Though his perspective seems to change when she shows him a picture of her baby with eyes like his. He seems more sympathetic about this women who apparently is not his lover.

EDEN uses assonance, euphony, and tone to describe and tell a story of a woman named Billie Jean. Through these techniques he creates catchy words, beautiful flow, and a tone. The way he uses assonance makes the song catchy and sound good together. His euphonious words make the story more likable to read and picture. While the tone is set by EDEN, it sets in the vibe he wants to give off about her.
