I n spite of the fact that, from the outset numerous individuals may not concur, The Song of Songs, a sonnet that can be found in the Bible, and â€Å"Our Kind of Love†, a melody that just as of late was created, share a significant number of similar characteristics. The Song of Songs has two principle characters: the lady of the hour and the spouse whom are darlings. The friends are another gathering of characters in this sonnet. They are somewhat similar to the storytellers of the sonnet that ring in at certain times.Each of the three characters assumes an opposite job in the adoration sonnet. In â€Å"Our Kind of Love†, the nation bunch Lady Antebellum, sings about the adoration shared between a male and a female. In this melody, a man and a lady alternate singing about their affection for one another. Despite the fact that â€Å"Our Kind of Love† is a tune, it can be viewed as a sonnet too.

In both of these works, the characters both clarify their affection towards one anothe r. Notwithstanding, the manner in which they express their adoration for one another is incredibly extraordinary. This is a direct result of the distinction in societies and timeframes. For instance, in The Song of Songs the husband depicts his bride’s magnificence by utilizing a lot of descriptive words: How wonderful you are, my dearest, how lovely! Your eyes behind your cover resemble pigeons, your hair like a group of goats spilling down Mount Gilead (212. 1). In â€Å"Our Kind of Love†, the manner in which the male depicts to the female her excellence sounds somewhat not the same as in The Song of Songs. He clarifies her magnificence by utilizing less portrayal: â€Å"You wear your grin like a late spring sky/Just sparkling down on me and you swear your heart is a free flying creature/On a lethargic Sunday afternoon† (Lady Antebellum). Despite the fact that these two expressions sound totally extraordinary, they are both expressing something very similar, t hat the two of them think their lover’s are beautiful.The first expression is composed increasingly appropriate, and the subsequent expression is all the more straight-forward and direct, and this is the reason an incredible number of individuals don't understand that despite the fact that the language of The Song of Songs and â€Å"Our Kind of Love† is unique, a great deal of the expressions in both of these works are expressing the equivalent or near something very similar.

In contrast with this expression, the male and female in â€Å"Our Kind of Love† clarify their affection by singing: â€Å"Just like driving on an open roadway/Never comprehending what we’re going to discover/Just like two children, infant, continually attempting to celebrate the good life/Whoa, better believe it, that’s out sort of adoration (Lady Antebellum).The Song of Songs was composed during a significantly more prior timespan than â€Å"Our Kind of Love†. One can tell this by contrasting the language that is utilized in both of these works. â€Å"Our Kind of Love† is a contemporary melody that just turned out in the year 2010. This melody comprises of regular, current language. It is straightforward the plot of this melody just by tuning in to it or perusing it through once.
