On a higher note
You can take everything I have, you can break everything I am, like I am made of glass, like I am made of paper”, she dares. “Go on and try to bring me down, I will be rising from the ground,” she proclaims, in her latest track, Skyscraper, that can be classified as her comeback track. Music has a transformative power for teens. Far from the average teen queen tunes about boys, parties or shopping, Demi Lovato has come out with something that actually has substance — and teens are already reacting.
The lyrics are all about rising above a broken life; and that’s what Lovato is trying to do now, and that’s the message her fans find so inspiring. “It’s seldom that you witness how today’s teen celebs rise after a fall, taking pages from their broken lives to send across a positive message, touching base with folks of their own generation. The way teens are reacting to the song is proof that they have been waiting for a peer in the public eye to break the silence. It’s one thing for teen icons to have a public breakdown. But to bounce back, and give her experience an artistic voice, is the sign of a true star, mark of a survivor,” says literature teacher Nancy Nathan. Demi’s music has always been relatable, even before her stint in rehab. It’s inspiring to watch somebody get thrashed by the media and still bounce back. Her tweets are very empowering. “It’s reassuring to know that you are not alone when you battling with your inner struggles. She’s helped many cope through her music. She is the most influential teen superstar at present,” says rapper Rock.
“I think her attitude is really cool. The chorus in Skyscraper is without doubt her best. It’s heartbreaking yet optimistic, catchy yet powerful in substance. It stays with you for all the right reasons,” says teen vocalist Jaya Andrews. “It’s Demi’s victory in every sense, a glorious return to the limelight, a glorious return to prominence and above all, a glorious resurrection from the ashes,” she says.
