“Song for a Dying Planet” is a song that was written to raise awareness for the environment. It clearly states that we are living in a world that is dying and asks a very clear question “does anyone care?” The world has been highly polluted throughout the years and now this problem has grown and does not seem to improve due to the lack of participation of the community.
The fourth line of the song stated “We’re killing everything that's alive,” what this phrase signifies is that the world is dying and all the organisms that live within, and for only one reason we are destroying their habitats and feeding off their resources. For many hundredths of years’ humans have feed on the resources of the organisms that once inhabited the area we now live in. The businessman that construct this communities for humans to live within take very little caution or consideration on the damage they are causing to certain species.
The fifth and sixth line of the song makes the statement “And anyone who tries to deny it wears a tie,” this serves as a reminder that

Joe Walsh believes that little is done to improve the environment because people are paid to lie about the seriousness of the situation. At the end of the song it is written, “I’m sorry but I’m telling the truth, and for everyone trying to save it these songs are for you, too.” Walsh offers an apology to the few who care because there are a minimum and without the effort of the majority their efforts will be useless. He also apologizes for saying the truth because even though it hurts it has to be said how it is in reality. The song closes with the same question, “Is anyone out there?’ This question is meant to reach out to the entire world and make them realize that the world needs
Feeling unwanted from the closest people in your life who turn away from you when you need them the most, is the worst feeling a person can endure. I chose the song “My Story” by Sean McGee, because people young and old can relate to his song. People from different backgrounds can relate to each other when there are living homeless or raised as a foster child. Sean McGee wrote “my daddy don’t know, my momma don’t care, it don’t matter if I’m here, it don’t matter if I’m dead” people all around the world have the same issues and share a common culture. A master status is the most important status a person occupies, this is a key factor in determining a person’s social position.
My first song I´ve chosen is Sean McGee, song titled My Story. Mainly the song is about him facing different struggles, obstacles, and all the horrible things and situations he´s been in throughout his life. I can connect to this song and the lyrics for many reasons. One of his lines were ¨Do you know how it feels to be left out in the rain¨? And I have faced times like this when I feel like no one is there or have my back, and in the line he´s trying express how it feels to have nobody and be all alone. Also throughout this song he expresses how everyday you wake up your face with something rather it's just a minor issue or something that will greatly impact your life.
“Hurt” a song originally recorded by Nine Inch Nails which portrays self-harm and heroin addiction has been covered by many great artists including Johnny cash. When Johnny cash covered this song I got a deferent message from the lyrics while he sings it, maybe it is because of his voice or how he lived his life, but when he is singing this song I get a sense that he is singing about a loved one that has passed on, growing older, and his legacy.
The song “Outside of a Small Circle of Friends” discusses the importance of individuality by showing the perspective of a person conforming to the rest of society and how they ultimately affect the world around them. For instance, the song states “I’m sure it wouldn’t interest anybody outside of a small circle of friends” (Ochs). This shows that the person in the song is deeply concerned with what others around them may think, and has little regard for their own opinions and moral values. The repetitiveness of this
This quotation opens your eyes, I know of no one who wants to destroy the earth either. The majority of man kind doesn’t think too much about what is happening to the earth due to their actions. When most of us drive a car or spray deodorant we don’t think of the consequences. It is the responsibility of those who create problems to help fix them and prevent them from happening again. In society today it i...
In times of war it is quite common for people to start questioning their values and their actions and be unsure of the path they are taking. This is common because to protect our values we often are told that we have to take actions that conflict with those values. One example would be how to protect our liberties we must sometimes restrain those liberties during treacherous times. However, the ultimate question is whether or not going against the very values we stand for is a hypocritical and wrongful action plan. Bruce Springsteen approaches this very issue in his song “Devils & Dust”, from the CD with the same title, and he subtly criticizes how the United States is betraying its values.
All music created has some kind of story behind it. It could be a bad story, good story, or even a complicated story. Every artist tells a story in their music that can relate to anyones life. Big Sean’s story on this album, Dark Sky Paradise talks about the bad and the good of paradise. The album has a lot of features from well known artist such as, Drake, Lil Wayne, Jhene Aiko and most importantly Kanye West because he started Sean’s career.
In essence, this song carries various sociological concepts. It concentrates on the main idea about the social construction of reality and talking about how reality is changing. The song questions the actions and mentally of individuals violating the norms and values of society. The band takes into consideration various factors of why it is happening including the media and religion. As a result they talk about such influences taking control building and developing a sense of self. This is a great song about present day problems and how society changes with them.
The Fray's hit song, 'How To Save a Life,' tells a story of a mentor, also a friend, who is trying to 'save a life' of a troubled youth. The story starts off with the teenager and this friend sitting down to have a talk about what is wrong in the teen?s life. The second line reads, 'he walks, you say sit down it's just a talk,' this showing anger and fear of what might be brought up in conversation, so he tries to run away from the problem. Although neither individual wants to have the talk, they both respect each other enough to be polite, 'He smiles politely back at you/
The song “Strangers in the Night” was composed by Bert Kaempfert and lyrics by Charles
In the Michael Jackson video he said “the crying earth the weeping shores” this show in this song that he really care about the earth because he want to keep the shores keep because like the beautiful thing in life the sea and the shores. what we’re doing wrong like in his song he kept say “what about” this symbolize that we really don’t take care of the earth we just keep making it even dirtier and he said he what about the Earth we lost focus of the Earth and how it going down the drain and how we are doing nothing about it. This song is a very good example of what I am talking about because he said thing that show us how we really should look at the world. He said in the song
Humans are taking over and tearing down nature without a second thought. Especially in the city, it’s hard for people to put down their phones long enough to realize the world is slowly dying. They throw thousands of pounds worth of trash in the ocean just to get it out of their way. Without realizing it, the thing that covers the majority of this world is sick, and humans are to blame. Only a couple centuries ago, one believed nature was indestructible.
While K’Naan’s “ Wavin’ Flag” is used as a Coca-Cola advertising song, but it also addresses a very important truth that underlines the message and purpose behind the song. The highlighting truth is that freedom should be cherished and strongly fought for, no matter what the circumstances are. The truth of the song relates significantly to Marxist theory in various ways because power struggle is prominently displayed between, the “working class” represented by the poor normal people of Somalia and the “Bourgeoisie” represented by the war leaders and dictators. Moreover, it could be related to the “ illusion of class transcendence” in the fact that the poor and exploited people are dreaming about reaching “enlightenment”, in this case enlightenment is represented by freedom “when I get
The sheet music for this song was written very steady and simply. This allowed the song to be understood and the audience could focus more on the lyrics. More than anything, this song stood out to me because it is an anthem for peace. This song is over four decades old and civilians are still familiar with the words and messages this song portrays. One of the main parts of the song was the lyrics, “Imagine there's no countries. It isn't hard to do. Nothing to kill or die for and no religion too. Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope one day you will join us, and the world will live as one.” Their is absolutely no reason the world shouldn't live as one! We are one
Our planet is suffering from severe pollution, which ranges from contaminated air, water and soil as well. Humans are doing nothing to reduce the amount of pollution that is harming our earth. To understand how pollution works first you must understand that there are different types of pollution. The most common types of pollution and the ones that I will be focusing on which are the ones doing the most harm to our planet are air pollution, water pollution, soil contamination and littering. In order to help out and reduce pollution in our planet people need to be more aware of what these problems are and about the severe damages that they are causing our planet. Before industrialization really jumped into place and had an effect on large cities, nature had its own way of cleaning up its own air and itself. Wind scattered gases, rain washed many substances and the rest dissolved into the ground; while plants absorbed carbon dioxide and made it into oxygen. With big cities growing more every time and with more towns that were becoming more industrialized a lot of more waste began to be released into the environment and the atmosphere and soon this was more than enough for nature to handle. In order to stop and reduce pollution people need to understand the damage that it is causing our environment and our planet as well. People need to be more aware of how they can help out and do their part in reducing these problems that are causing our planet to die slowly with people not even noticing it.
