After the well known and devastating 9/11 attack everybody felt that the world was separating. Many different styles of music had been released after this tragedy to try and bring people back together. Some music expressed their anger and sadness, others represented the "re-build" of the world. Many famous artists contributed to these types of songs. Artists from Toby Keith, Bon Jovi, Beasti Boys, and the band James were apart of this movement.
These artists knew the people around them, even themselves could not believe the immense tragedy everybody had been going through from this event. They took their power as celebrities to speak out and unite their fans back together. Giving them forms of hope and paying tribute to those that are no longer with us.
This unit to me was a very interesting one, being so young when the event occurred I only get to watch things in history class or something like that. With analyzing a song and hearing from the other groups, really getting to analyze the lyrics you get to see it from a very different aspect.
I Agree! I also was very young when this occured, so it is interesting to go back and analyze the history and the music that came from it
ReplyDeleteYes that is very true. Most of us was very young at the time and now we can only watch what people post about it or like you said in songs that most artist made for 9\11
