“Wake up everybody No more sleepin' in bed No more backward thinkin' Time for thinkin' ahead”
When i first got this assignment I first thought, “There is no way i can have just one song.!” because i LOVE music. Next thing i thought was, “OK, Aliyah, what song can you imagine people remembering you by? That’s when i thought “OK that's easy, John Legend - “Wake up Everybody”
The overall message of this song is to wake up our generation to see that the way we are doing things isn't helping us and that we need a change. I am someone who tries to see the bigger picture, and more importantly I am someone who yearns for a change in society and how we handle things.
In this song John Legend speaks to the people, teachers, and doctors about his opinion about how they are, and he gives helpful ways to change them and encourage them as well. I also care about those around me, especially my friends and family.
This song has a very upbeat feel to it, and that’s like me when I'm around my friends and family. John Legend has always been one of my favorite artists of all time, but this particular song to me set the standard for him as well as other songs like “If your out there” “Ordinary People” and “This Time”. I just love the overall message of the song, and how it is just that feel good music. I feel so connected to it when i listen to it. Even if I'm mad or upset, if i hear it, my mood with change. To start a song off with the lyrics that he chose is an attention capture. The original song has been around since before i was born, so that’s how you know its good quality music. It conveys a powerful message that people need to be reminded of constantly.
All in all it’s a wonderful song that i think describes me the best. Maybe one day will I be the one opening peoples eyes to what is best.“The only thing we have to do Is put it in our mind Surely things will work out They do it every time....”
