Lourdes. Dear Mr President-Pink 2006

lourdesroviras — 2020-10-18 21:38:36 UTC

This song is an open letter to the former President of the USA, George W. Bush. It criticizes the war in Iraq, the homeless, the rights for homosexuals and the unfair treatment of the poor and the rich. I love the song because she speaks truth to power with a sweet melody and never saying the name of the President, which makes it altogether extremely ironic. Unfortunately, it still applies today. Watch the second video released in 2020 which is quite similar. The more things change, the more they stay the same! Different lyrics, equal complaints: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSneatadSJk

This rap was very famous a few years ago, and it was on tv all day, now you don't hear it any more but I think that it's a nice song to prevent bullying. The rap is in fact a story that explains the life of a kid who is bullied, the song also explains to the audience how to act in that case.

Àlex Gatell: Lil Tjay - Beat the Odds

2022-11-03 08:38:37 UTC

_{The lyrics of this song convey the racism that exists in the police in America, how they lived and how they live now, he complains that he always has to have his gun with him because he doesn't feel safe, and he walks with the fear that anyone can shoot him, here is the link to the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcY-i47Eduo}

Narcis Andrei: Boys will be boys - Dua Lipa

2022-11-03 08:40:33 UTC

This expression means that childish behaviour is typical of boys and should not cause surprise when it occurs. But Dua gives this a meaning of the growing pains of what it’s like to be a girl. It tackles sexual harassment and “avoiding confrontation from men" More info: https://www.nme.com/news/music/dua-lipas-new-song-boys-will-be-boys-tackles-sexual-harassment-and-avoiding-confrontation-from-men-2633501

Marc Caixàs Get up stand up - Bob Marley

2022-11-03 08:48:32 UTC

This song is trying to help all the people that is fighting every day and for the rights of the humans, also he talks about drugs.

I have chosen this song because when I heard this song for the first time it made me think and I am being a little bit represented with this song.

Laia Gómez: John Lennon- Imagine

2022-11-03 08:54:58 UTC

The theme of the song "Imagine" by John Lennon, has to do with freeing ourselves of the standard wisdom and beliefs about the world

Irene: Strange Fruit - Billie Holiday

2022-11-03 08:58:39 UTC

This song talks about how black Americans were treated back in Billie Holiday time. This song really affected people and became a revel song for black Americans. It talks about the bad things and the tortures that white people did to black people in the USA. I like this song because it's really moving, in fact Billie Holiday spent hours crying after singing it, her own father was tortured by white people until he died at the age of 39.

Fatima El Aouchi-Love Will Prevail

2022-11-03 08:59:31 UTC

The song is about the suffering of the children from Syria in the war, the singer talks about the children's thoughts, and why they need to pass from this experience, that they suffered it a lot.

I have chosen this song because I like so much the idea of Maher Zain, I think it's a good way to let people know what happens and what children go through.

Marouan El Hmidi Aguantando-Morad

2022-11-03 09:00:13 UTC

The lyrics of this song conveys the police abuse. Morad tells his experience ant their friends' experiences with the police and the abuse they did to them. I have chosen this song because I think it is a very good song and many people could get confident to tell their experiences. Morad had more than one song talking about the injustices of the country and he is the spokesman of many people who had injustices with the police.

Douaa el Youssfi: Run the World (Girls)-Beyoncé

2022-11-03 09:03:03 UTC

This song has a message that talks about women strenght, reminding them how powerful they are. It is one of the most popular feminist songs. It was first released in 2011 and received a lot of criticism, especially because of its supposed aggressiveness, but despite of that, the song did very well on the charts. It’s important to note that this song was written and produced mainly by males, but Beyoncé said that she loved the song because it was a mixture between different cultures and eras, creating a new sound.

Elsa Canevas: Buffalo Soldier

elsa_canevas — 2022-11-03 09:04:19 UTC

The Buffalo Soldiers were squads of African Americans who served in the United States Civil War, in a war where their own freedom was at stake. Bob Marley sings to them, for example he says: "stolen from Africa, fighting to survive".

I've chosen this song because I've already know who is Bob Marley and I was interested to know if he had made any protest song so when I heard it I didnt't hesitate twice to choose this.

Nestor Bohorquez | John Legend - Preach

2022-11-03 11:02:12 UTC

John Legend tries to show us all the injustices that we see in the news, police brutality, school shootings, immigration, etc.

But I like this song principally because, it talks too, about how we can feel frustrated for the news, everyday seeing always the same, and the author of this song wants that we wonder, what we can do?

Romaisae Zbakh / Palestine Will Be Free / Maher Zain

2022-11-04 20:53:24 UTC

This song talks about the war on Palestine. It is told from the point of view of one girl how they are killed in their own homes and schools. That without a father or a mother will face those who are killing innocent people, wishing every day that Palestine will be free tomorrow.

I have chosen this song because people are not paying much attention to this war, even though it started more than 70 years ago, and innocent men, women and even children are dying every day.

Eduard Torrent Barbosa / Civil War Guns N' Roses

2022-11-06 21:52:31 UTC

As you may know, it is a song from one of the mot famous musical groups in the history, Guns N' Roses.

It was created just when the United States was in the middle of a military operation in Iraq at the time of its recording, although, really, the song is full of historical references such as the Vietnam War, or the murder of Martin Luther King.

The song makes a small recount about all kinds of violence and war that is presented not only through firearms and deaths, but also injustices that "feed the rich while burying the poor".

I have chosen this song because people do not give importance to violence and wars, we only try to be informed if the terrible fact damage us and also because I like the rhythm.

Mohamed Atmani, Wishing Well- Juice WRLD

2022-11-12 18:27:57 UTC

This song protests about the depression, anxiety and addiction derived from the drug use he tells that they gave stress and itch and they are killing him softly.

But what I like on the lyrics is that even they gave to him consequences, he is still trying to get out of his addiction with drugs and he is still wishing.

I have chosen this songs because is the only protests songs from this artist and I like it so much also because it shows the positivism that Juice WRLD always manifests.

Joan Saló/ Been A Son- Nirvana

2022-11-14 18:01:13 UTC

With this song the group nirvana tries to make people see that today's society is very sexist just because they were born with the sex of the woman.

It tries to end the belief of years ago that women are inferior to men and try to show that men and women are equal in practically all areas of everyday life.At the same time it is a very advanced song for the time since it came out in 1995 and people were very close of mind

Adriana Camps/ Where is the love? - The Black Eyed Peas

2022-11-15 21:27:58 UTC

This song talks about all the disrespect between human races. And they ask: where is the love? Where is the respect and love humans gave each other in the past. The group protests for all the wars that are giving place in many places in the world, and how anyone is doing anything to change it.

I think that this is a very special song. The lyrics are very powerful and the melody stinks to you. That's what "The black eyed peas" wanted to express.

I invite you all to listen to it : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpYeekQkAdc
