For todays post i decided to write about a song inspired by a story i heard in class... child abuse is a very serious issue that seems to be more and more prevalent in todays news. It's something that needs to be discussed and talked about to stop the horrible traumas brought about by so many troubled people who take out there frustrations on innocent bistanders such as small helpless children.
Concrete Angel is a beautiful song by martina mcbride with a soft country style that resonates in the heart. It starts off with a catchy piano melody and continues with soft guitar strums taht carry the song to the melody. the song has minimal instrumentation and has more of an acapella sound until the piano comes in.
This song talks about a little girl who lives her life day by day being abused by her parent. She goes to school and says nothing of her homelife.Whats very disturbing about this song is that so many people know whats going on but chose to stay quiet and say nothing. Her teacher neighbors and classmates can see somethings wrong but continue to live there lives selfishly unwilling to question why the she has bruises on her body. Unfortunately, the song has a tragic end as the beatings sustained by the child take her life away and all thats left is the concrete angel watching over her tiny grave.
