So Silent

I choose the song "So Silent" by Zack Hemsey. The song can be found in the album Ronin. The song focuses on life and the inequality that comes along with it. In the beginning the song, Hemsey talks about a man. He says,

He was down on the floor with his lips to a glass
Said he dreamed of a future that won't come to pass
That he once strived to excel in a world so vast
But why run a race when it's rigged and he's fixed in last

These lyrics speak about the inequality people face everyday. For many people, life is rigged. For some people their lives are set out because their parents already carved their path. For others, life is rigged because they don't have the same opportunities as other people have and they are left behind. The line "But why run a race when it's rigged and he's fixed in last" is multidimensional because it's easy to envision someone running a race and it also produces an emotion. It's sad that some people feel that their lives are rigged.

 In another portion of the song, Hemsey speaks about a women who also criticizes aspects of society. The song says,

She was tripping on something that was laced in her teaAnd she was high as a kite when she said she could seeSaid we in the land of the free but no freedom growsAnd if we in a brave new world where'd the brave all go

These lyrics speak about the social inequality many people face everyday. These lyrics are multidimensional because one can imagine seeing someone high on the street and it also make you feel something. There are people in the world that have no emotional or physical freedom. They are not free to do what they want to do or feel what they want to feel. Yet, we live in a country that emphasizes the freedom of its citizens.

Overall, every line in the song makes you feel something. I highly recommend this song/album. Hemsey actually just released a new album called Nomad and it's equally as amazing.
