    Protest songs

    Bob Dylan

    Masters of war

    John Lennon

    Give peace a chance

    Bob Marley

    Get up, stand up

    This song is a protest song because it refers to a war, and more precisely the Vietnam war. It denounces the people (the government) who decided the war. The song points to “you”, meaning the US government and everything they created: guns, plane, bombs. And the people responsible are safe behind their desks.

    This song is a protest song because it refers to the Vietnam war. JL asks for peace, he wants peace in the world. He denounces all the concepts that language creates: words in –ism, to say that we should act instead of speaking…

    He was a pacifist.

    This song is a protest song because it gives us an order: it uses the imperative: “get up, stand up”. The idea is to raise together to reach equality. The rights he mentions are civil rights.

    (Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks). Bob Marley advocated a fair society in which everybody had the same rights, no matter your skin colour.

    My favourite genre of music and why ?

    Listen to Jason talk about his favourite genre of music...

     

     

    So initially I started liking British Indie Rock bands, such as Oasis and Blur, and then from there I went back to discover the bands who had influenced them. And from there I found the Punk era in the 1970s which saw the emergence of Joy Division and The Clash. I believe here is where my current musical interest originate, although I do enjoy relaxing to 1960s American guitar music such as Bob Dylan, and The Velvet Underground. When I went to university, I started listening to a lot of hip hop, a bit like my friends, my friends, they had the same tastes. And I since discovered a lot of hip hop jazz, for example Mos Def or The Roots. I also like listening to French Hip Hop because I believe the fast pace of the language is ideal for creating of a flow. Whilst I’ve been living in Paris, I’ve been enjoying lots of French electronic music such as Phoenix, Birdie nam Nam and Agoria. One of my absolute goal however is for me is to see Daft Punk in Paris before I leave.
