So I hope you like and understand what you will learn and hear.

A SONG FROM TODAY:



media type="file" key="Did You Wrong 1.mp3" __SYNOPSIS: __ I chose this song because of what he says in the song. I think this is so true, when two people do each other wrong they have to stick it out no mater what and that is what he says in this song. this song is about how a girl does her boyfriend wrong and how he does her wrong. this song is also about how if that happens you both can get though your bad times. if you love someone and bad things have happened u need to stick the relationship out and get thought it. i think this can related to African American history because of the beats and tone of the song. I also love this song and like I said before just stick together and you both will get though it all. Good luck to all. code [|lyrics] code

<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 172);">A SONG FROM 1967-1974 media type="file" key="09 Respect.mp3" __<span style="color: rgb(187, 62, 239); background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250);">SYNOPSIS: __ I chose this song because In this song she is asking for respect from men. Back in the day men did not respect woman as much as they do now. So she was asking if i do every thing you want and give you every thing you want will you give me your respect and time. i like this song because i think that all woman should have respect no matter who its from. So this song is a good example of what respect should be like coming from a man, woman or anyone else. code [|Lyrics] code

A SONG FROM A DIFFRENT COUNTRY:

media type="file" key="04 Guantanamera.m4a" __<span style="color: rgb(187, 62, 239); background-color: rgb(250, 250, 250);">SYNOPSIS: __ I chose this song because it has its own history to it. This song is sang in spanish. I think this song has some African American background to it like the fact that it has the tone and the beats. The way she sings the song is so beautiful. This song can also be related to African American history because it was first written as a poem be for it was transferred into a song. In African American history they would write poems to say what they felt, the song says exactly what it means. I personally think that you will like this song. code [|lyrics]
