SONG REVIEW - SCARS TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL

 

The song, Scars to Your Beauitful written by Allesia Caracciolo, speaks to the very challenge every young girl experiences by wanting to be seen as beautiful. What is more, the song contrasts the lengths women will go to in order to make themeselves appear more beautiful, but perhaps the line “you should know, you’re beautiful yhe way you are” is the most profound statement for this generation.

In the music video, “Scars to Your Beautiful”, Alessia Cara skillfully illumnates her messages that everyone is beautiful. Cara uses both ethos and pathos to help get her message out to her audience. Cara wants people who feel put down by society to know that it is okay to be different and love the scars they have. At the start of the music video Cara standing in plain white room, in a plain outfit, which can lead you to believe that she is just an ordinary person, in an ordinary place and nothing extremely special. Then the video cuts to all of the different speakers, who all say thier names and the camera goes back in forth from them to Cara, making you know that they are important to getting the message across to audience.

 

‘Scars to Your Beautiful’ is basically about embracing yourself and finally coming to that conclusion where you feel love and you can love yourself. In my opinion it’s cool to put out third because I feel like I have a bigger platform now. The point of the song is to reach as many women, or people, as possible.
