Marvin Gaye Thinks Ahead His Generation to Compose and Sing the Song “What's Going On” During His Time!!

We all know Marvin Gaye, a legendary singer. During his generation, we see a near peaceful world. The Major problem in the world then was discrimination and some other little challenges. Even at that time, people could still think ahead of good ideas that can make the world a better place and bring them into fruition. We still enjoy good music of yester-years compared to present. Marvin Gaye was able to take a look around the world he lived in and came out with a classic song “What’s going on” and everybody waved and danced for peace to return to the world but was something really going on then?

Then, it was a near peaceful world, all that was happening was a few war around the world, discrimination and few people dying.

Actually, after Marvin Gaye’s era, strange things started happening in the world. I once vowed that a Nigerian Man will be the last person in the world to commit suicide maybe as a result of frustration and now it’s just an everyday thing. Suicide bombing is now just a normal thing. What about rest of the world? The Gay world are now so powerful in places of polities and some can now come out and proudly say ‘they are gay’. India is now faced with all kinds of teenage ‘gang’ rape. We see the tension from North Korea and Iran as they look for a means to make use of their nuclear weapons on some Nations, the churches and Reverend Fathers are faced with all kinds of sexual scandals. What of the war in Syria and outrageous earthquakes in Asia continent?... Marvin Gaye only saw a few dead people on Television then in his time and felt bad about it. He then imagined an idea “what’s going on in the world”. Now death is just a normal thing on the Television. Guess that why nobody can think and write such classic song. Situations have made present generation not to think of how to save the world. All they now think of is just how to make money and survived alone. 

On a conclusion, I think Marvin Gaye thinks ahead of his generation to sing the classic song “What’s going on” because it’s now that strange things are happening in the world and all people now do is just watch and pray to be safe but forgotten that their little contribution in terms of classic music or any other little way can be of great help to the world…

Think!!!... think about our world! think future!... just as Marvin Gaye did in his generation and come out with something that can be meaningful and help save our generation!… God bless our World!!!
