Expressing feelings is important to emotional development. As a society we have been taught that violence is bad in all aspects. Humans feel the these emotions and have a need to express them. I have always felt an association with this song, and I have dealt with rage inappropriately. Learning how to express one's feeling is an important step in developing emotional quotient. Whether an individual is feeling happiness or anger it is important to be in touch with these feelings. Many people believe that talking about anger is promoting it. This particular song reflects the frustration felt by so many people and how to stand for what you believe in. The importance of standing for what a person believes in is imperative to society.
I enjoy this song and this band too. They do a very good job of telling a story that many other people are thinking and feeling but don't know how to say it, or don't think they should say it out loud. Rage Against the Machine does a good job of filling in the blanks for many of us, and this song is a great example. Great choice!
ReplyDeleteThis, I believe, is a good song. Most of their songs tell a very good story, you just have to stop and listen to the lyrics. One of my favorites, though, is Hero of War. It also tells a very good story about our soldiers at war and what the have to go through. It tells the story from their point of view. The side that we usually don't know about so that we keep faith in our government. You did really good picking this song. And I like the way you described it.
