My favorite song: "Eve of Destruction" by Barry McGuire
I love what is the song about and the historical context of it:
The song was created in 1965. The song was to protest the past social issues including Vietnam War, the draft, the threat of nuclear war, the Civil Rights Movement, turmoil in the Middle East, and the American space program. Barry McGuire wrote this song because he didn't want to live in the world where hatred and hypocrisy overruled love and beauty. The song was used as a protest song by Barry McGuire because it referenced social issues of its period.
Principles:
Peace
Freedom
Equality
Honesty
Human rights
Equity
<----- Repetition
"We're on the eve of destruction" :The songwriter wanted to show us that we would die, if we don't stop the past social issues.
Purpose:
Show people the truth of the world
Show people the clarity and understanding about the state of the world
Trying to change the world to make the world become better by reducing the past social issues.
<----- Persuasive Language
Fear, mad (Emotive Language) : Demonstrate how humans feel when they face death
The music tune matches the intended mood:
somber
Meant to suggest the past social issues are related to tragedy
serious
<----- Meaningful lyrics
"Even the Jordan River has bodies floating"
Make listeners to understand what the song is trying to display, a strong but balanced sense of fear, courage and indifference.
"The world in a grave"
<----Past social issues
Racism, wars, injustice, hypocrisy and malnutrition, etc
