The song that I chose is Give Peace A Chance by John Lennon. Not only did this
song impact me growing up but it impacted thousands at the time it was written. The
song is about the Vietnam war and how everyone should give peace a chance but I feel
that this song does not only apply to Vietnam. In my opinion it has to do with violence in
general or you could even apply it to the war in Ukraine. In the song Lennon basically
sings about everything everyone is carrying about in the world but he's basically saying
that none of that matters and everyone should stop fighting about that stuff and give
peace a chance. Lennon actually wrote this song with his wife Yoko Ono at what they
called a bed-in which funny enough it was everyone protesting the vietnam war by
laying in bed all day. In 1969 this was a huge deal because John Lennon was a famous
celebrity who was against the war and he kind of led a movement during the war and
the reason this song is important to me is because it's just a super nostalgic song and I
GIVE PEACE A CHANCE. (Ultimate Mix, 2020) - Plastic Ono Band (official music video
