    I think the main purpose of this song is to clear the confusion and give his take on the black and white diversity in America. There are multiple moments in the song where a black male and a white male express […]

    I also compared their relationship as reflecting to god or to each other. I think the differences are quite interesting to read, how you compared god’s blessing to instruments and dance.

    I like how your perspective is using different reasons why not to use different compositions. Although I disagree with that, I think it would help evolve our culture, it is interesting to read your perspective.
