RE: Steemit Open Mic Week #100: 1968 (Cover)

in #openmic6 years ago

Thank you so much. This is a really powerful song, which is why I love singing it. 1968 was such an important year in our history. Racial tensions were huge. The war in Vietnam was tearing Americans apart. The Summer Of Love was fading into something more violent and dark. And losing those two men, who were the best and brightest hopes we had in such a dark time was hard. I'm glad that this song speaks to you. I'm happy that I was able to bring it to you!

I can see why you went to sing it. Songs that have a real message that aren't afraid to say what is going on can be so powerful. There is something about putting a message into a song that gives it a life of its own.

We still have songs here from hundreds of years ago about the troubles in the country that are sung and have meaning. They have lasted generations and will last a few more.
