Bohemian rhapsody

 I chose this song because its one of Queens most popular song and that is probably why queen used it in their 20 minute performance this song isn't a form of protest neither was the concert the concert was more of a fundraiser because they were fundraising for Ethiopia for them to get food to the many starving Ethiopians I guess 

I defiantly think someone cIould setup a concert in 10 weeks like live aid it wouldn't be that hard to do you just need   

there is a link to my favorite song Bohemian rhapsody

Music is still very affective in making changes to the world we had Fuck the police by N.W.A which was protesting about police brutalities sadly this is still going on but because of  N.W.A more and more musical artist's have been incorporating this message in their songs

there is mosh by Eminem which was about George Bush being president and how it was bad and that he wasn't being good at his job sending soldiers overseas having people getting evicted and yeah that's pretty much all I have to say till then I will see you all in the next post

eleanor rigby

The song tells the story of two lonely people. First, we meet a churchgoing woman named Eleanor Rigby, who is seen cleaning up rice after a wedding. The second verse introduces the pastor, Father McKenzie, whose sermons "no one will hear." This could indicate that nobody in coming to his church, or that his sermons aren't getting through to the congregation on a spiritual level. In the third verse, Eleanor dies in the church and Father McKenzie buries her. After Eleanor Rigby is buried, we learn that "no one was saved," indicating that her soul did not elevate to heaven as promised by the church. This could be seen as a swipe at Christianity and the concept of being saved by Jesus. The song was released in August 1966 just weeks after the furor over John Lennon's remarks, "Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue about that; I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now." It was pretty different from music from the 1940s because it had more of an upbeat sort of beat to the music but the lyrics were a little more depressing cause it talks about a woman no one new so when she died no one knew who she was which is why it says she was buried along with her name. Also it says that no one hears father McKenzie's sermons so he preaches to people who won't hear it. So when he buries Eleanor Rigby it was a thing no one knew about cause they were both people no one knew meaning the song is about so nobodies and that anything they did was useless cause it would never effect anyone here are the lyrics and the link to the song and I will see you all in my next post 

Ah, look at all the lonely people

Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby
Picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window
Wearing a face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Father McKenzie
Writing the words of a sermon that no-one will hear
No-one comes near
Look at him working
Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby
Died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie
Wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No-one was saved

All the lonely people (Ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people (Ah, look at all the lonely people)

Where do they all belong?

Parihaka song

 The main message of this song is that to always think about Te Whiti 

the line that explains the passive resistance is "Te Whiti he used the language of the spirit

Then stood accused" what they mean by you can't pull out the roots refer to the fact that you can't cover it up and that people will always feel pain about what happened.

they would keep ploughing the fields that the soldiers kept on destroying so the people living at Parihaka and they would replough their fields and this went on and on 

how does this song show the significance of Parihaka it shows significance by the fact that it hasn't been forgotten and it is raising awareness towards the events of Parihaka

what make's this event so significant is that is that it was such a big thing that happened is that the Pakeha soldiers forcibly took land away from the residents from Parihaka and the fact that they wrongfully put them in prisons 

how much people were affected from this event is around 100 people

how long have people been affected by the events at Parihaka people have been effected by for over 140 years and I would say more years to come the crown did apologize for these events but I think that people would still be effected by these events for more years

To what extent have these people been effected people have been detained for 16 months with no trial some women were raped and ended up having kids as a result and that is all for this blog goodbye heres the link to song
