This week I chose a song called "chocolate rain" by Tay Zonday. The link above is a link to the lyrics and a video of the song. Unlike most songs this one does not really tell a story, it more describes the "chocolate rain." I chose this video for the clear relation it has to the material. I orginially found this video on youtube that a friend had sent me the link.
I feel this song strongly relates to the material because it does state how some people can be a part of a "priveleged" class or an oppressed class but at the same time not feel oppressed. The beginning lyrics in the song are: "Chocolate Rain Some stay dry and others feel the pain Chocolate Rain A baby born will die before the sin." One can easily see how this song is explaining on how although someone may be in a priveleged or an oppressed class they may not feel it. The lyrics "A baby born will die before the sin" is not talking about death, its saying about simply because a baby was born into such conditions it doesn't have a chance to change the conditions. "Chocolate Rain The same crime has a higher price to pay chocolate Rain The judge and jury swear it's not the face." These lyrics show the racial oppression of being a minority and being commited of a crime there is higher punishment, eventhough the jury say its not because of the race. I felt this song is very closely related to the material, if the link does not work either google or youtube search it.
