Analyzing a Song

For this post I decided to analyze the song Smile by Uncle Kracker. Uncle Kracker uses several great techniques in his song. His song is a very happy, light song because he uses sibilance. You can tell he uses sibiliance because he says " You make me smile like the sun." He also has the happy and light effect because he uses euphony. He uses this when he says "I'm lucky just to linger in your light." He also uses onomatopoeia when he says words like "buzz". His purpose in this song was to be a happy song and tell us about how his loved one makes him feel.
