I was going for a John Lennon/Bowie vibe, but I think with the synthesizers I ended up somewhere around Arcade Fire...
Still, writing about what I care about, peace, love & understanding, keeping the apathy at bay. That is my interpretation of the assignment.
Interesting side note. I wrote the lyrics while at the dentist today, came home and put them to music.
lyrics
What ever happened to love
What ever happened to peace
Don't just say Whatever
Don't just say it
Don't just pray it
What are we teaching our kids
What are we teaching ourselves
Don't just settle for whatever
Don't you learn it
Don't you love it
Together
We gotta get back together
Stop letting left and right tear us apart
Together
We gotta get back together
Stop letting black and white tear us apart
What are we obsessed with now
What are we addicted to today
Don't let it use you
Don't you share it
Don't you love it
What are we buying today
What are we saving for tomorrow
Don't let it consume you
Don't you spend it
Don't you waste it
Together
We gotta get back together
Stop letting left and right tear us apart
Together
We gotta get back together
Stop letting black and white tear us apart
What ever happened to love
What ever happened to peace
Don't just say Whatever
