Song 11 -- A Change Is Gonna Come

This song was written in 1963 by a man named Sam Cooke. This song is about The Civil Rights Movement, And, how it was a turning point for America, and many people felt that it was the start to a much needed change. The very begginning to then end of racism, still going on today. This song is full of hope, and sadness all at the same time. It's about how this man, Cooke, goes from being unwelcome to being accepted and being able to record his music, and how he found his change. This song's story id told by the main character looking back in his life, and noting how his life changed throughout the song. I really liked this song, I love it's sound, and Seal does an excellent job singing it. This song tells about the time in America when The Civil Rights Movement was in swing, and people were beginning to get behind it.
