Abstract

Song lyrics play an important role in expressing complex emotional experiences that are often difficult to articulate through literal language. Although previous studies have examined metaphor and emotion in music, many focus on large corpora or musical structure, leaving a gap in close, lyric-centered analyses of how emotional meaning is constructed within individual songs. This study addresses that gap by examining how emotional experience is structured through conceptual metaphor in Radiohead’s song “Let Down.” Grounded in Conceptual Metaphor Theory, this research focuses on three interrelated frameworks: Emotion Is a Physical Force, The Object Event-Structure Metaphor, and Force Dynamics. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the lyrics are analyzed to identify recurring metaphorical patterns related to alienation, disappointment, and longing. The findings reveal that emotional suffering is consistently framed as embodied and overwhelming, while the lyrical subject is positioned as a passive entity subjected to repeated emotional events. Movement imagery further reflects constrained emotional effort, resulting in frustration rather than change. These results suggest that metaphor in song lyrics functions as a cognitive mechanism that enables listeners to experience emotion as embodied and enduring

Abstract

Creativity and innovation in ludruk need to be done because this traditional art is already on the verge of extinction. The lack of regeneration of interested young people and changes in people's tastes are the dominant factors causing the extinction of Ludruk. Without creative efforts in packaging ludruk to be relevant to the current context, supported by innovations in the presentation and use of technology, this cultural heritage is at risk of being lost in the next decade. This research aims to find out the creativity and innovation that needs to be done to preserve Ludruk art performances. The research method applied is qualitative. The research location is in the Ludruk Lamongan community. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and focused discussions. The results of the study showed that the creativity carried out by the Sendakala community included intensive practice before the performance; preparation of the manuscript as a guide for conducting dialogues; shortening of the duration of the show; colossal Ludruk performances; and collaboration with other Ludruk communities. Innovations include the dissemination of Ludruk art performances to schools; management improvement where there is a division of duties between stage directors, music directors, and dance directors; the use of technology to support the background of the scene; and the use of publications through social media. The creativity and innovation carried out by the Sendakala group is part of the revitalization effort to preserve Ludruk art performances in Lamongan Regency.

Abstract

The objective of this community service activity to increase the capacity of the community of Argomulyo Village, Sedayu, Bantul, to develop aloe vera-based food products, specifically aloe vera nata. The main problems faced by the community include the suboptimal utilization of aloe vera, the lack of processing technology, and a lack of understanding of good food production standards. The training was conducted through outreach, demonstrations on making aloe vera nata, and mentoring on sustainable production. Through these activities, participants gained knowledge about the nutritional content and economic potential of aloe vera, understood the principles of fermentation, and were able to produce aloe vera nata. Evaluation results showed an increase in participants' knowledge and skills in making aloe vera nata. This activity is expected to be the first step in strengthening the community's economy through innovative aloe vera products
