When I listen to it, I get a great feeling filled with hopeful spirit. By choosing this song, I can reveal its meaning to others. Thats why I chose this song. The genre for this song is hip hop/rap. I think that this song is not typical of its genre for a surfeit of reasons. Firstly, not many songs nowadays have combinations of hip hop and rap. Also, the rap in most rap songs are mumble rap in which one cant hear the words clearly while this song is on the contrary. The lyrics can be heard and contain meaningful words. A lot of hip hop and rap songs have materialistic lyrics which in essence have no morals. Finally, the audience for this song is open to anyone, from kids to seniors. This is because it talks about something we can relate to, having hope. Most hip hop/rap songs come with negativity. Negativity becomes disclusive to certain audiences. However, See you again is open to all that know how to focus on the good. I know this audience because I have many friends that love this song and theyre very optimistic. This song is very near and dear to me because of the reason it was written. It was written for the death of Paul Walker.
He was famously known for being the star character in the popular Fast and Furious series.
Tragically, he died car crash while driving with his friend. Hence, his friend Wiz Khalifa with Charlie Puth wrote this song in honour of him. I think this song was made to keep joy in the world and for the Fast and Furious realm, it did. If one scrolls down the comments of the youtube video, theyll see that his death was not in vain. It birthed the origins to this song. The youtube comments say Paul Walker didnt die, he just finished the race before us. That goes to show the impact of this song. Even though he died, viewers of the song still concentrate on the light at the end of the tunnel. Plus, the likes to dislikes ratio is 3000:47. Therefore, this song wasnt written normally, it was written with an origin story behind it. Thats why I think that it has one of the most views on youtube because people want positivity. And the most ironic part is, it wasnt meant to be a song, it was meant to be a memorial yet it has so many hits. In conclusion, this is a great song to listen to and to learn from as it teaches moral values and stops negativity.
