                                                              Sure thing by Miguel

In today’s generation a lot of people don’t believe in the emotion love. Due to the fact they haven’t met their soul mate yet or have been hurt in the past by someone. However most people believe that in life everyone will find true love, and find their soul mate. And eventually will have a strong relationship with each other. Balancing from first to second person point of view, in the song “Sure Thing,” Miguel uses simple analogy, a sweet loving tone, and powerful imagery to convey that even though there may be obstacles in the future, no matter what their love is a “sure Thing.”

In the song Miguel uses a lot of uncomplicated analogy to show us how much love he has for his soul mate. “If you be the cash, I’ll be the rubber band, if you be the match, ima be your fuse.” When Miguel says that, he’s making an analogy and showing us the listeners that no matter what he will always be there with her. Miguel also makes another analogy when he says “Painter baby… you could be the news, I’m the reporter babe, you could be the news, cause you’re the cigarette and I’m the smoker.” This quote conveys that Miguel and his soul mate were meant to be, and shows how they click with each one and other. Miguel furthermore uses another tool (tone) to show us that his love for his soul mate is a “sure thing.”

Miguel’s lovely soft tone helps the listener get a better picture of how powerful his relationship with his soul mate is. While listening to the song, listeners cannot help but take notice on how his voice is so sweet and beautiful. In order to make his point across, he uses his voice as an advantage to show us that he is in love and that he is sure that he has found his true soul mate. “This love between you and I  ...is simple as pie” His relationship with his partner is very simple and beautiful. The song is a work in progress, because the tone he uses displays his feelings and how he feels about his relationship.

The great imagery that Miguel uses conveys a message in his song. Which is how precious love can be. “Even when the sky comes fallin, even when the sun don’t shine, I got faith in you and I.” Miguel uses simple imagery to show how even when the world is coming to an end, he will still be there for her; and has faith that his soul mate will do the same for him. “Put your lil hand in mine, even when we’re down to the wire babe, even when its do or die, we can do it simple and plain, cause this love is a sure thing.” Miguel says this to convey his simple love to his partner, and even when dies he will still love her because he knows that his love for her is powerful.

This song is very special, and it shows true love. In the song, Miguel shows his auedience what true love is. And he shows it by using positive analogy, a beautiful tone, and easy imagery. Life can be really lonely at times and depressing when you don’t have your soul mate. However Miguel courage’s the listeners to take risks and find their soul mate. He also makes the listeners believe that in life, no matter what stage you’re in, you will find a special love that is a sure thing.
