Das neue Video von John Legend zu seiner neuen Single #Preach ist da und macht auf Missstände wie Polizeigewalt etc. aufmerksam verbunden mit der Frage, was jeder einzelne tun kann.
“Sometimes we can get so frustrated by the news and what’s going on and there’s this scatter going on in ourselves.
Do we become apathetic? Do we become engaged?
Do we just talk about it, or do we do something?”
– John Legend
Das Video spricht in diesem Fall für sich:
Lyrics:
Every day I wake and,
Everything is broken,
Turning off my phone just to get out of bed.
Get home every evening,
And history’s repeating,
Turning off my phone cuz its hurting my chest.
And heaven knows I’m not helpless,
But what can I do?
I can’t see the use in me crying
If I’m not even trying to make the change I wanna see
I can’t sit and hope, I
Can’t just sit and pray, that
I can find a love, when
All I see is pain
Falling to my knees
Though I do believe
Oh, I can’t just preach baby preach (woah oh oh oh oh ohhhh)
I can’t just preach, baby, preach
All I hear is voices,
Everybody’s talking,
Nothing real is happening, cause nothing is new.
Now when all is tragic,
And I just feel sedated,
Why do I feel numb, Is that all I can do?
And heaven knows I’m not helpless, yeah
But I’m only human.
Can’t see the use in me crying,
If I’m not even trying to make the change I want to see.
I can’t sit and hope, I
Can’t just sit and pray, that
I can find a love, when
All I see is pain
Falling to my knees
Though I do believe
Oh, I can’t just preach baby preach (woah oh oh oh oh ohhhh)
I can’t just preach, baby, preach
And heaven knows I’m not helpless,
What can I do?
Can’t see the use in me crying
If I’m not even trying to make the change I wanna see
I can’t sit and hope, I
Can’t just sit and pray, that
I can find a love, when
All I see is pain
Falling to my knees
Though I do believe
Oh, I can’t just preach baby preach (woah oh oh oh oh ohhhh)
I can’t just preach, baby, preach
Falling to my knees
And though I do believe
I can’t just preach, baby, preach.
