About The Song
¡Sarcastic
¡The use of facial expression
¡The use of words and sentence
¡Dark sacred night @ dog say good night
-meaning that black people have to stay at home during night. Dog refer to policemen
¡Others word that we highlighted??? It is for you to figure out…
This is a song that i have always been listening but never once gave attention to its lyrics.Truly,this is a poem which i adore after Nakhaie's group presented recently.The words used in the lyrics were mild but the meaning hidden were just so significant that shows the feelings of not being treated equally.Metaphors used were a little difficult to understand but once it is revealed to one's knowledge,it gives a big impact to the particular issue.Other than that,he facial expression that is used were surely unpredictable,at first,Armstrong was smiling while singing then he started to have no emotion then at the last part,his smiles were purely sarcasm. A good song to use in classroom as the lyrics are clear and in a good pace.Calm yet extraordinary!
