Walking on Broken Glass is a hit written and performed by Annie Lennox in 1992. The Billboard wrote it is a “study in stylistic constracts; retro-soul vocal musing glides atop pristine, keyboard-and strong-anchored modern-pop environment.”

Trayvon Martin. George Floyd. Breonna Taylor. The victims of the Atlanta shooting. Hate crimes are continuing to pollute our society and our system. We can’t stand by and let racism take life after life. This song is meant to reflect these feelings of a need for help to cause change. Hate has no place in this world, so the fight against it rages on. Be a part of the change to change the world.

The Parting Glass is a Scottish farewell song that is sung at the ending of a gathering of friends. It is in reference to the practice of consuming one final drink to wish safe travels for those departing. I will include multiple versions of the song to explore to identify how the song can be interpreted by others.

Steven universe is a revolutionary cartoon network show written by Rebecca Sugar. It incorporates fantastical visual features and musical numbers to tug at the heart strings. Looking Forward features the character Sadie who, throughout the show, overcomes anxiety, heartbreak, and loss. She sings of how she has changed from the person she used to be and how she looks towards the future rather than dwelling in the past.
