The Unlikely Trio

While the songs John Denver's Let This Be A Voice,Michael Jackson's Earth Song,and The Year 2525 by Zagger and Evans were all trying to help us realize the importance of our planet as it is our home they were all distinct from one another giving us a variety.

John Denver was a folk country singer and his song Let This Be a Voice(Amazon) reflected just that. "Let this be a voice for the mountains", "Let this be a voice of no regret", it tells you that you can be that voice from the many things he mentions in his song,like the river,the tree,the bird in the jungle, and the child. " It is the song of life",and of course it is because all us. The river can have a be a both a metaphor for the actual river the Amazon as it the those things make an environment that may or may not surround us but in the end it does affect secondest largest in the world and very common to people but also"river of no regret". One thing can be make a big difference maybe a small one but still a difference,because your voice will and can represent much more than just yourself but a number of people and I think that is the message in the song because he uses one thing to represent its entire population for example "All flowers are that one".

In the Year 2525 is more of a pop-rock song and is was even very popular as it reached number 1 in the music charts. The song describes a future with an alarming vision,implying that

man's technological inventions gradually dehumanize him "Your legs got nothin' to do Some machine's doin that for you". The song was no chorus rather but rather use succeeding verses pick up the story at 1010-year intervals from 2525 to 6565.Each year they mention,they give disturbing predictions for example in the 3535 everything we do and say will be programmed in a daily pill.Then the pattern as well as the music changes, going up a half step in the key of the song, after two stanzas. "In the Year 9595 I'm kinda wonderin' if man is gonna be alive He's taken everything this old earth can give And he ain't put back nothing". All are actions have a snowball effect they accumulate until is something much bigger than we anticipate,so by taking care of the Earth we can prevent something that in the future we wished we had "So very far away,maybe it's only yesterday",because even though it seems so distant it and you really don't care right now the future is much closer.

Earth Song is a ballad that incorporates elements of blues, gospel and opera. Jackson engages in a back and forth chant as the song reaches its climactic finale. He may issues may be interpreted as plea to God or us about problems ranging from war to endangered animals. He is addressing society in general. Us, as humanity. He's saying "what have we done to
