The first song i want to introduce is “All My Trials” by Anita Carter. this song is based on a Bahamian lullaby that a mother is comforting her child about her death.
The second song is Bright Eyes’ ” When the President Talks to God”.
Topics in two protest songs were changed. In the first one, mother was complaining about inequality, religion and wealth issues. She considered that her suffer were going to be end by her death and it seems was the only way that she could go with. The protest in the first song is about human rights and equality in the society and that is that had happened in 1950s. However in the second song, people start to complain about the president. The protest is not about every individual but about the society. I think in the first song, human fought for their own rights which is directly related to their survive but in the second song, people is expressing their discontent on political leader who has no directly relationship with their life survive.
