Like the song “Why You’d Want to Live Here” by Death Cab for Cutie, “Don’t Go Near the Water” by the Beach Boys uses no direct appeal to
logos. The overall theme of water pollution and ecological toxins underlies the entire song, but is referenced
using metaphorical lyrics instead of statistics and facts. The song relies on the listener to be able to
understand what the Beach Boys are singing about. This creates more of an engagement between
the Beach Boys and the listener.
This is a good post, i think you should include examples of some of the metaphorical lyrics, just to add a little more specificity to the ideas in this post.
