First off, I was planning on using this genre for my MGP so this blog will kind of let me get a first shot at it so i can work on it from there. So my research question is pretty vague on what it asks because its abstract, but to sum it up I want to know the different perspectives on political issues pretty much but in my paper I'll also go into who have certain perspectives.
So song lyrics can easily relate to political issues, an example for political issues being brought out in songs would be Gimme Shelter by the Rolling Stones. It brings up the vietnam war and other conflicts at the time. Oh, a storm is threat'ning
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It talks about how violent the world was at the time, how not only the vietnam war aws going on, but here at home at the U.S. there aws different racial conflicts and violence acts happening. So you can see that with the right use of words you can sing about political issues in an abstract way. And if it's catchy a lot of other people could end up listening to it also.
