People might
understand this message like a way to express the anger or maybe as a critique
of society and even events. But it clearly depends on the political thought.
The song make
us think that we have to do something against war and all the bad things that make
this a displeasing world, it also invite us to appear and manifest our “anger”.
The message
has being sent to show and tell the people the bad things that happens in the
world, maybe we know about it but at the time of the song we become aware and
we can relate those facts to the facts of every day.

ReplyDelete"Agains"???? cossover world? Atia, you need to proofread what you read before submitting anything. I loved your choice, but I think the information is incomplete or misplaced: technical info is missing (the year the song is produced should have been in the first paragraph).
ReplyDeleteI miss a link between what we see in video (rough cuts, clumsy transitions, etc.) with what we listen to (profanity, heavy music, sharp guitars).
You write almost at the end: "People might understand this message like a way to express the anger or maybe as a critique of society and even events." You should go beyond the obvious , don't you think?
