Two songs, both based around political speeches, both great songs, both great speeches. Obviously, one speech is much much more famous, but I like the message of the other one too. I've listened to both a lot lately. Gets the inspiration juices going. On a more interesting musical note for me, Will.I.Am. from the Black Eyed Peas is involved in both too. I like that dude.
Common Feat. Will.I.Am. - "A Dream" (Based around Martin Luther King Jnr.'s famous speech). Favourite lines:
"Dear Self, I wrote a letter just to better my soul, if I don't express it then forever I'll hold"
"With a story to tell, my eyes see the glory and well, the world waitin' for me to yell, 'I Have a Dream'"
(But also.. pretty much the whole second verse. Lyrics here.)

I like the line from a true live song, "I want to change the world like i change my bed sheets, once a week!"
ReplyDeleteThey are very cool songs/speeches. I like the first one.
ReplyDeleteDavid: I would like to hear this song. You love True Live.
ReplyDeleteEm: People who hate on hip hop and rap and say it's all angry and stupid should listen to these sorts of rhymes more often.
