Prompt #4: -- Music Stirs Us to Act, Feel, and Think

In class we discussed how music can have a social, political, and personal impact.  Post a song on your blog that had an impact on you.  Then, post your interpretation of the song using at least 3 words from the Academic Word List we went over in class (such as theme, commentary, implicit, interpret, ideological, and vehicle.)  Make sure to comment on everyone else's songs!  Here is one of my favorite songs.  The lyrics are taken from a famous essay — written in 1997 by Mary Schmich, a columnist with the Chicago Tribune.  Enjoy!
