She moves like sea breeze swirling around me
the fragrance that she leaves hangs in the air
soft like a whisper she's callin me to her
these eyes have seen the most beautiful dream.

Sea Breeze
I chose the song "Sea Breeze" by Tyrone Wells. I'm actually listening to it right now. I really like this song and I'll tell you why. I think one of the main reasons this song is so endearing is because he uses imagery that many of us can relate to. Well at least I can growing up in Santa Barbara, the sea breeze has always been a big part of my life. I like how in this song he compares a girl to the sea breeze. For me, that strikes a cord. I can relate and my emotion that I feel about sea breeze is translated to how I feel about the girl he is describing. Great Song. The first tool I thought of was imagery. This appeals to pathos. The effect on the audience is a sentimental reaction to the lyrics. The next tool I think that was used was Trustworthiness. This appeals to ethos. This man is writing a song about how precious he thinks this girl is. He is respectful to her and compares her to something beautiful. The audience wants to believe him and trust him.

I think that's a good example of how particular rhetoric can apply really well to certain people and not so well to others. I used to live by the beach - but it wasn't a very good one and it stank (as in smell, but sucked in general). To me a "sea breeze" doesn't necessarily bring a charming atmosphere to mind.
I loved the similes used in this song. It brings a much better touch on how you as a listener can feel as the song writer wants you to feel. Without those similes you couldn't fully understand or get a grasp on the song writers purpose.
