John Lennon

The first song that I am going to analyze is Imagine by John Lennon. Imagine is a committed song, known in almost 125 countries, very popular and known as a message of peace. John Winston Ono Lennon was born October 9, 1940 in Liverpool, and murdered Dec. 8, 1980 in New York is a musician, songwriter, guitarist, singer and British writer. He is the founder of the Beatles. John Lennon’s song defines as an anti-religious, anti-nationalist, anti-capitalism and anti-norm.

The song reflects the hopes and revolts, supports causes, accompanying history. John Lennon is a committed artist, he enlisted, and he says his ideas encourage others to adopt them. In this case, it encourages people to perceive a better world, a peaceful world without religion, without war, without borders, without possessions, which all humans are equals. It reveals the reality testifies, denounces a message of hope and defends values. It seeks to reach men by speaking directly to the listener, he invites us to question with him, to dream and to share his positive vision.

This song is released in 1971.Imagine is a success in the world of music and especially in the world of pacifism and hippie.

The second song that I am going to analyze is Redemption Song by the great Bob Marley. Redemption Song by Bob Marley appears on the Uprising album released in 1980. Redemption Song Bob Marley is the latest single released before he died on 11 May 1981.

The song sums up, like a premonition, Bob Marley's life, his thirst for freedom and desire for redemption. Redemption Song also reflects the struggles throughout his life and his work and his attachment to his Rastafarian faith. Redemption Song Bob Marley recorded while he was already suffering terribly from cancer, he then refused to be treated differently according his religion, and the latter does allow that natural medicine. Redemption Song was also the last song he sang in concert, September 23, 1980 in Pittsburgh, USA. For the record, some Redemption Song passages were inspired to Bob Marley with a speech on civil rights given by the black activist Marcus Garvey in 1937. The intended audience of this song is his fans, he preparing them for his death. Bob Marley was really loved by his fans, he wanted to prepare them mentally for his departure.

The third song that I am going to analyze is Same Love by Macklemore. The song tells the story of a young man accepting his sexual orientation. He comes and goes between the key moments in the life of the young: the arguments with his parents; his first boyfriend; his marriage; and old age with his companion. It also shows the small moments of life, like listening to records with the one that matters to you, or walks on the beach. Moments that bring us together, unite us and prove that love is the same, anyway. In his song Same Love Macklemore talks about homophobia and gay marriage. For him, every person has to feel good about yourself, whether gay, straight or bi. If calling each other" fag "behind the keyboard on a forum, a word created to hate. Then he ends by calling gays to rise up against this constant homophobia: ‘’Get rid of fear, basically it is the same love, It's almost time to revolt.’’

The fourth song that I am going to analyze is Go Down Moses by Louis Armstrong. The song tells the story of Moses delivering the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. It
