I took inspiration for this round from the current situation in the USA! This round is all about songs that contain a political message or call out and challenge the way things are done! Good luck!

if you don’t know the story behind this song, i’m including some links. it’s not specifically political, but kesha does call out the entertainment industry, and i think that’s important!
This was written immediately after 9/11 and is about having everyone be more alert to whats going on in the world and to fix it peacefully instead of ignore it
Now this may be very controversial and confusing but this is more about a religious message and I feel that we are always questioning what god looks like but not the gender of god
Hozier is an Irish singer who wrote this song to attack homophobia in the church, which is a big issue in Ireland and Northern Ireland as religion is very highly valued there. There is a religious war between Ireland and Northern Ireland, Protestants vs. Catholics, and this has led to polarizing beliefs on LGBTQ+ rights. What often ended up happening was the Irish Republican Army would track down gay couples and bully, torture, or straight up murder them and their families just for being gay. This song shows the horrors of LGBTQ+ struggles in Ireland and Northern Ireland to this day.
