1) FORTUNATE SON

This song was released by the American rock band called " Creedence Clearwater Revival '' in the year

1969 from their album Willy and the Poor Boys.

This song talks about the Vietnam War and how the U.S. was involved in the War the lyrics tell us how poor men were made to fight as soldiers and how rich men were made to wave the flag and the senator's son was a fortunate son.

Following will be the lyrics of the song

'' Some folks are born made to wave the flag

Hoo, they're red, white and blue

And when the band plays "Hail to the Chief"

Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no senator's son, son

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no fortunate one, no

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand

Lord, don't they help themselves, Lord?

But when the taxman comes to the door

Lord, the house lookin' like a rummage sale, yeah

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no millionaire's son, no, no

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no fortunate one, no

Yeah-yeah, some folks inherit star-spangled eyes

Hoo, they send you down to war, Lord

And when you ask 'em, "How much should we give?"

Hoo, they only answer, "More, more, more, more"

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no military son, son, Lord

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no fortunate one, one

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no fortunate one, no, no, no

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no fortunate son, no, no, no

It ain't me, it ain't me... ''

These lyrics define how rich people made poor people their slaves made them fight the war and let them die. You will notice that if you are born into a rich family and a silver spoon in hand you're value is more than people who fight in the war and die for the country.

Money has always played an important role in every Era whether it's after the revolution across the world respect was given to the people who had money, and earning money wasn't an easy task then and even now.

Songs are communicative to every person as they connect to people's feelings, emotions, etc.

It has positive and also critical ways of reaching the audience through this type of awareness song there can be some kind of change I believe.

The purpose of this song is to remind us that humanity is more costly than money, to achieve any title as a millionaire or soldier it needs to be earned not bought by money.

2) (White Man) In Hammersmith Palais

This song was released by the English punk rock band called THE CLASH in the year 1978. The song themes relate to United Kingdom music bands like pop-reggae or rock which was more popular back in the day and led to a disturbing and unsuccessful concert as mentioned the artists in the song, Dillinger, Leroy Smart, Delroy Wilson, and Ken Boothe for UK pop reggae. The concert was disturbed by the fight and chaos among the crowd of young black and white people, and there was also the use of pistols and fooling around with the guns in the crowd. Wealth distribution was a factor used by the UK that somehow brought unity among the black and white youth.

Later on, this event was known as the British punk rock scene in 1978 which gained people's view of it.

There was also mention of Adolf Hitler in the following lyrics as it says ''If Adolf Hitler flew in today''

and the singer states how he wants to be and live his life ''I'm the white man in the Palais

Just lookin' for fun''.

Here below are the following lyrics of this songs

Midnight to six man

For the first time from Jamaica

Dillinger and Leroy Smart

Delroy Wilson, your cool operator

Ken Boothe for UK pop reggae

With backing bands sound systems

And if they've got anything to say

There's many black ears here to listen

But it was Four Tops all night with encores from stage right

Charging from the bass knives to the treble

But onstage they ain't got no roots rock rebel

Onstage they ain't got no roots rock rebel

Dress back jump back, this is a bluebeat attack

'Cause it won't get you anywhere

Fooling with the guns

The British Army is waiting out there

An' it weighs fifteen hundred tons

White youth, black youth

Better find another solution

Why not phone up Robin Hood

And ask him for some wealth distribution

Punk rockers in the UK

They won't notice anyway

They're all too busy fighting

For a good place under the lighting

The new groups are not concerned

With what there is to be learned

They got Burton suits, ha, you think it's funny

Turning rebellion into money

All over people changing their votes

Along with their overcoats

If Adolf Hitler flew in today

They'd send a limousine anyway

I'm the all night drug-prowling wolf

Who looks so sick in the sun

I'm the white man in the Palais

Just lookin' for fun

I'm only

Looking for fun

I'm only

Looking for fun

3)Desh Mere

This song was written by Manoj Muntashir and wonderfully

sung by Arjit Singh, and was released in the movie Bhuj: The Pride of India. This song indicates the life of every soldier like how they leave their family behind to protect others' families at the border.

The soldiers can sacrifice their life for the country and for the land to which they were born without any hesitation because they know that this land will give them the respect that can never be bought from money

but can be only earned.

The purpose of this song is to make us realize that everyone should learn to sacrifice something in their lives and always remember that they are brave men and women who are standing at the border to fight and defend us and our country's pride.

Here are the following lyrics from the song

Ho desh mere

Teri shaan pe sadke

Koyi dhan hai kya

Teri dhool se badh ke

Teri dhoop se roshan

Teri hawa pe zinda

Tu baag hai mera

Main tera parinda

Hai arz yeh deewane ki

Jahan bhor suhani dekhi

Ik roz wahin meri shaam ho

Kabhi yaad kare jo zamana

Maati pe mar mit jaana

Zikar mein shaamil mera naam ho

Ho desh mere

Teri shaan pe sadke

Koyi dhan hai kya

Teri dhool se badh ke

Teri dhoop se roshan

Teri hawa pe zinda

Tu baag hai mera

Main tera parinda

Aanchal tera rahe maa

Rang biranga

Ho uncha aasman se

Ho tera tiranga

Jeene ki izazat dede

Ya hukm e shahadat dede

Manzoor humein jo bhi tu chune

Resham ka ho madhushala

Ya kafan sipahi wala

Odhenge hum jo bhi tu boone

Ho desh mere

Teri shaan pe sadke

Koyi dhan hai kya

Teri dhool se badh ke

Teri dhoop se roshan

Teri hawa pe zinda

Tu baag hai mera

Main tera parinda

4)Arivu x ofRO Anti Indian

The song sends a very important message that we as a part of India should have every right to make and choose our own decisions as Indians,

and few people out there are trying to bring the misconception among us and trying to control our lives.

As we are responsible citizens of our country we should take steps to solve any injustice happening to us and being silent isn't a step that can be taken as a voting citizen of a country

Here the singer and writer reach out to the audience by stating how he has been mistreated by some people and that he has all the right to speak against them which is a very unique way of sending a powerful message through the song

Song can connect through people's heart feelings and emotions and also relates to each of us in some way or the other.

He also states that how humanity is more important than being human and mistreating others isn't a part of human acts.

Still, we all are living in a society where discrimination of color, religion, and caste is dividing us which is not right and we should stand against it and fight for equality as a citizen.

Humanity cannot be bought with the money it should be within ourselves.

Arivu says that if I am asking for my rights as a Tamilian voting citizen am I Anti-Indian?

Here are the lyrics of the song...
